What is a wandering mid laner?

Su Cheng insisted on letting her boyfriend be deflated once.

But she smiled and kept silent, her face turned pale as she clutched her stomach.

Lin Ran sighed, patted Su Cheng's forehead, and found that there was a thin layer of cold sweat on it, probably because of the chain reaction caused by eating iced watermelon tonight, "I remember I bought brown sugar before, and there is still some ginger left ..."

"It's not a big deal." Su Cheng himself felt that there was no big problem, "Just wrap up in the quilt and sleep."

Lin Ran didn't listen to her, and ran to the kitchen to put the pot under cold water, added brown sugar and ginger, brought it to a boil, and scooped it into a bowl.

"I raised the temperature of the air conditioner to 27, you don't need to wrap the quilt too tightly." He was afraid that Su Cheng would kick the quilt in the middle of the night, so he might as well raise the temperature one step to his stomach.

"Don't drink too much of this brown sugar water," Lin Ran said, looking at his girlfriend who was blowing on the side of the bowl, with a hint of a smile in his tone, "Otherwise you'll just wait and wake up non-stop tonight."

Su Cheng's ears were red.

She didn't expect this sentence to be returned to herself.

While she was drinking water, Lin Ran turned off the computer in the study, brushed her teeth and washed her face after eating watermelon, and lay down after 10 minutes.

"Shall I rub it for you?" He embraced his girlfriend's body, gently stroking the soft and flat belly with his palm.

Su Cheng squinted her eyes in satisfaction, the scorching temperature of her boyfriend's palm penetrated through the pajamas and the brown sugar water she just drank together, forming a warm current flowing quietly in her heart.

……

"Have you had a good vacation?" Guo Hao, who was waiting downstairs, saw Lin Ran going downstairs, and hurriedly opened the passenger car door for him, and casually greeted him.

Lin Ran was full of joy, "It's pretty good, have you had breakfast yet?"

"No." As the manager of the competition training department, Guo Hao's daily schedule matches that of professional players, and he doesn't have the habit of eating breakfast all year round.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ran handed him a bag of steamed buns, which smelled like pork.

"Huh, this is..." Guo Hao opened it to see that the buns were not so regular in shape, and the rich soup soaked into the dough, leaving behind dark marks.

"The two of us made it at home last night." Lin Ran took one out of the bag, "I made the stuffing and rolled it out, and wrapped it with oranges. It may not look like it, but it tastes really good."

Seeing him leaning against the car door and biting the steamed stuffed bun comfortably, Guo Hao couldn't help it anymore, took out the steamed stuffed bun and gnawed on it.

As Lin Ran said, the taste of the steamed stuffed bun is really good, the saltiness is moderate, the thin skin is full of the flavor of the pork filling, and the juice overflows with a mouthful, which is very satisfying.

Lin Ran brought two more steamed buns, but he couldn't bear it. He and Guo Hao were big men with strong appetites, and a bag of steamed buns was divided up within a quarter of an hour.

"Let's go!" Guo Hao sat on the driver's seat after eating and drinking, and took out a bag of breakfast milk from the glove box and handed it to his driver.

Since Lin Ran just got his driver's license not long ago, Guo Hao had no choice but to come to Tongjibeiyuan to pick him up and go to Taicang together. It took less than an hour on the Hujia Expressway to arrive at the location of the youth training camp.

Different from the slightly perfunctory trainee plan in 2016, Teng Jing is serious this time.

A three-story office building was rented in Taicang, with accommodation, conferences, and canteens all available to provide the most comfortable training environment for the youth training camp members participating in the selection.

Two front desk staff and several coaches greeted them outside the gate early, and extended a warm welcome to them, especially Lin Ran. Celebrity treatment.

"Brother Ran, I'm your fan!"

"I can't, I can't!" Lin Ran waved his hands repeatedly when he heard these words, "I still want to extend my career by two more years."

The audience roared with laughter, and the room was filled with joyful atmosphere inside and outside.

After a short welcome ceremony, a group of people cheered and hugged, leading Lin Ran and Guo Hao into the main hall, and there were staff beside them introducing the specific situation of the youth training camp.

"We went through three rounds of online Shanghai selection, which lasted one and a half months. Through the comparison of Rank points and winning percentage, we screened out 1757 players in five positions from 60 applicants for suburban kings, electric ones, and Korean server drills above the national server... ..."

"Is your registration screening age 16-20 years old?" Lin Ran had read the information sent by Guo Hao before, and looked around while asking.

There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the whole picture of the room can be seen through the transparent glass on the floor.

Seven or eight computers filled the room, with various keyboards, mice, and cases emitting colorful lights. Teenagers with messy hair who looked like they hadn’t washed in a few days turned their backs to them, operating peripherals non-stop.

Someone excitedly picked up a drink and glanced at the monitor of the person next to him. From the look on his face, he knew that he was probably in Potafen; someone was typing on the keyboard violently, his mouth wriggling as if cursing something in a low voice, and he probably lost the game again, and started to perform keystrokes. Come.

"That's right, between the ages of 16 and 20, players who have never had any professional game experience are our main selection targets," a youth training coach answered Lin Ran's question, "The main reason is that these people have more potential."

Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood.

Those who are too young are still in school, and now Riot clearly stipulates that they must be at least 17 years old to enter the top professional leagues in each major region.

If the selection range is extended down to one more year, even if a 15-year-old child is selected, the club will have to spend money to support him for two years, not to mention whether there will be sudden horizontal hip stretching, family resistance and opposition in these two years. Such a moth, in terms of cost and salary input alone, it is not a small sum.

It would be even more unnecessary if the scope of selection was extended upwards by one year.

There are very few e-sports players who enter the industry at the age of 21. 957 is already considered a wonderful flower among the strange ones. He is one of the best in S7. Now he has also ushered in a cliff-like decline in level. His age makes 957 a little unable to keep up with the team. The high-intensity training and frequently changing versions make it difficult for him to pick out strong heroes in the first place.

If a 21-year-old player has never had any professional game experience before, even if he performed well and passed the selection of the youth academy, no LPL club would want him.

Because special cases cannot represent the whole, no club will spend tens of thousands of dollars a month to count on a 21-year-old e-sports senior to suddenly break out into a small universe.

Instead of choosing him, it's better to settle for the next best thing, choose a plastic talent who is not that strong, but only [-] or [-] years old, and the probability of success in the card draw is much higher.

This is not the ancient era of PDD Sun Yeyou. Now the development of League of Legends events is becoming more and more systematic, and various selection systems are gradually maturing. Old age has disadvantages, which is inevitable.

Lin Ran walked into a room at random. The layout here is a bit like a pocket version of the team training room. There is a computer and projector in it, which is probably used for replays.

A few young people wore headphones and concentrated on dealing with the enemies in the Summoner's Canyon, and had no time to look up.

There was only a decadent youth training coach in the room, replaying the video idly.

The moment he saw Lin Ran walking in with someone, he jumped three feet high and immediately sobered up a lot.

"I see that you need at least 10 sets of rankings every day, plus five training games and replays?" Lin Ran said with a pleasant expression.

"Yes, this is the bottom line requirement, and you can also increase the amount, such as the children staying in the room now..." The youth training coach knew that Lin Ran and Guo Hao were coming, but he didn't expect that he would actually win the lottery. The first draw.

He quickly sorted out the words in his mind, "Every morning we will update each player's score based on the real-time ranking at the top of the canyon, and then weight it with the performance of the training match to finally get a total score."

Lin Ran glanced at the scores recorded on the whiteboard.

The 60 players have a unified prefix - 2018LYA, 2018 is the year, and LYA is the abbreviation of LOL Youth Academy.

Subsequent capital letters and numbers represent positions and player identities.

Among them, T stands for TOP (top laner), J stands for Jungle (wilder), M is the abbreviation of Mid (middle laner), B stands for Bottom (bottom laner), and S stands for Support (assistant).

For example, 2018LYAT09 is the No. 2018 player in the 09 LOL Youth Training Camp.

This is the highest score in youth training that Lin Ran has seen, Canyon King 1369, ranking 22nd.

After that, the player's score will be cut in half.

The master can squeeze into the top ten of the youth training with three or four hundred points, and the level gap is huge.

The most important thing is the time.

The camp is about to end, and for a period of one month, players generally rank around 400 games, and some liver emperors can rush to 600 games.

In comparison, this score is really low and scary.

Lin Ran doesn't boast too much. When he first debuted, he started from scratch and managed to score 300 points at the top of the canyon in 1500 qualifying games.

Seeing Lin Ran's slight frown, a staff member nearby quickly explained in a low voice:

"The requirements of the youth training camp are players who have no professional experience before. It is normal for the quality to be lower."

"Many of them are the kings of the suburbs and the diamonds of the electric ones. There are very few Hanbok masters. There are only two kings among the 60 people."

Lin Ran and Guo Hao looked at each other. Fortunately, they wanted to take this opportunity to try to catch the leak. Looking at it now, it is estimated that it can only be drawn by luck.

The requirements for participating in the audition are here, and there are not many good seedlings that can be found in the youth training camp.

Because most of the amazingly talented young people have long been recruited by the independent youth training systems of major clubs.

For example, the chosen son of Jack, who has a face that is definitely not bad in the e-sports circle at a young age, coupled with high EQ and the fans that come with his career as an anchor, with the blessing of these traffic, Shiba Inu has not yet debuted. Comes with a lot of commercial value.

Club managers lined up with seven-figure contracts to knock on Shiba's door, hoping to win him over.

This kind of genius will not flow into the current youth training camp at all, and will be cut off in advance.

The same is true for Lin Ran and Xiaotian. They were discovered and signed by PDD early on, and they would not come to such a place to test the water.

But now that he thinks about it carefully, it was indeed a bit reckless to sign YM himself at that time.

If he waits for him to go to a few more clubs with the No. [-] record in the canyon, it will not be difficult to get a contract that is several times higher than YM.

But judging from the results, Lin Ran's victory was paralyzed.

Two S+two MSI, plus 4 league championships, although he is strong, but these real achievements are also the honors of working together with his teammates. If he chooses to change his club to make his debut, his career path will probably not be so smooth.

As the saying goes, the world's number one super soldier, teammates are the key.

In the early stage of his career, earning less than a few dozen dollars is not enough in the eyes of Lin Ran today.

He came back to his senses and walked behind a bespectacled looking stunned player to watch the match.

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows when he saw this person's ID.

2018LYAT09.

It was the canyon king top laner with 1369 points who ranked first in the youth training camp.

He stood behind and observed, and the staff who followed him did not dare to leave rashly, and someone handed him a bottle of Nongfu Spring.

Lin Ran unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, and saw that the girl on the 09th, who was the top laner, made a mistake. Hack to death.

"What do you think?" Guo Hao asked in a low voice.

"...This laning ability is mediocre," Lin Ran subconsciously used the LPL standard to measure, but immediately corrected and changed his words, "I think it's barely okay."

Lin Ran stood behind and watched for a while, and found that this girl Daomei was really outrageous.

I don't know if it's a matter of proficiency, but the number of times Biyi double-edged pulls can be counted on the fingers, and the laner was almost blown away by Nuo Shou.

Fortunately, the timing of the group cut was good. He repeatedly killed the opposing shooter and led the team to complete a headwind comeback.

He rubbed the back of his head, looking at the 24 points added to the data panel after the game, laughing silly.

Through the reflection of the monitor, he who had been concentrating on the game before finally saw Lin Ran standing behind him.

He stood up abruptly, his face flushed, showing a bit of embarrassment.

After all, Lin Ran is a well-deserved figure in the current League of Legends e-sports circle. His current feelings are like meeting Kobe James when playing basketball, or meeting Ronaldo Messi when playing football.

It's unrealistic not to be excited.

Seeing Lin Ran say hello to himself, top laner No. 09 wiped his sweaty palm on his trousers, and reached out to hold him.

"You played well, keep up the good work." Lin Ran admired the kid's team fighting ability, but the laning really needs to be polished.

The boy who looked quite happy scratched his head, and he smiled contentedly after being encouraged by his idol.

However, Lin Ran didn't stay in front of him for long, and went to watch other players' qualifying matches.

After having lunch in the cafeteria of the youth training camp at noon, Lin Ran was asked to guide the replay of the training match.

Although he is not a full-time reviewer, his ability to analyze games and study details can crush many coaches. After all, rank and experience are here.

Lin Ran found a room to take a nap for a lunch break, and went to the training room in time.

On the way, an argument broke out in one of the houses.

"You really don't take what I said yesterday seriously. Which wave did you drag?" Some coaches were furious.

"I'm really pulling, you can watch the video." Another voice said.

"What we're watching is the video!"

Chapter 491: I think a professional player must be able to...

"What's the matter?" Lin Ran heard the quarrel and quickly opened the door to look in, fearing that the two sides would fight.

This morning, the top laner No. 09 player named Bai Jiahao was red-faced, arguing with the youth training coach, and there was a group of people watching.

Seeing Lin Ran and Guo Hao enter the door, they just died down.

The coach was the first to complain, "We just finished a training match and we are resuming the match. He insisted on admitting his mistake!"

"I'm fine!" With so many people staring at him, Bai Jiahao said with a stiff neck.

But when he saw Lin Ran standing at the door, his voice unconsciously became much lower, probably because he didn't want to leave a negative impression on his idol.

Bai Jiahao is regarded as the person with the highest score in the canyon ranking in the entire youth training camp. He dared to confront the youth training coach because of his confidence.

In the entire youth training camp, who else could choose among the 60 players besides him?

Even if he can't be selected, he can go to any LDL club for trial training with the 1300 points of the king of the canyon.

People who have a way out always appear to be confident.
