What is a wandering mid laner?

Chapter 504: About Assistance

Lin Ran lay on the double bed, staring straight at the ceiling.

The girl next to her let out regular and even shallow breathing sounds.

Lin Ran raised his eyes and glanced at the time.

"I have to go, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Cheng opened his eyes.

This sentence made Lin Ran choke, he turned around and pinched his girlfriend's soft cheek.

"When is the next holiday?" Su Cheng tugged on the air conditioner to protect her chest.

"...Before and after the intercontinental competition." Lin Ran was also not sure, now that Liu Qingsong was injured, everything changed.

After tidying up the bed, Lin Ran went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into clean clothes and went back to the room, kissed his girlfriend on the forehead lightly, and along the way, gave a few instructions.

"Don't open the door randomly at home at night, check whether it is locked before going to bed..."

Su Cheng responded with a kiss, with a satisfied smile, "I know."

Lin Ran felt relieved to leave.

I took a taxi and rushed back to the YM club base 10 minutes before midnight, clocked in for work, and walked into the training room with a slightly vain footstep.

Except for Liu Qingsong, the rest of the team members were there.

They don’t have other residences in Shanghai. Most of the rest time, this group of teammates follow Jin Gong to Haidilao, or go to high-priced restaurants like bungalows with Jack—after all, the whole team belongs to Shiba Inu except for Lin Ran. He makes the most money, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't kill him a few times.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the training room, he could smell a hot pot smell in the air, which was blocked by the constant cold wind from the air conditioner. As the door opened, Jack and Big Eyebrow also smelled the fresh air. The hot pot taste is more intense.

The two lowered their heads and sniffed at their short-sleeved shirts again, before realizing it, they ran to their respective rooms to change.

Guo Hao rushed to the training room at zero o'clock, followed by Gouba and Hongmi.

Their faces were a little stiff, and they didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Three big black faces resembling Bao Qingtian posed in the training room, and the YM players, who were still immersed in the joy of vacation, immediately calmed down.

"The most critical question we are facing now," Guo Hao said first, "After Liu Qingsong is injured, should we bring in a support from the second team?"

Lin Weixiang felt a chill in his heart.

Is his 100% win rate support journey coming to an end?

"I don't think it's necessary," Hongmi frowned, and Jiang Chenglu translated all his words, "It's too troublesome."

Gou Ba also echoed, "Liu Qingsong is only absent for two weeks. There are a total of 5 regular season games, just carry it through."

Guo Hao shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression. He didn't want to argue with the coaching staff any more. They had been arguing all night, and they insisted on their own opinions, but they didn't have a unified view.

Da Mei listened to their words, his restless heart was beating up and down in his chest.

So fucking exciting.

"How many supports in our second team?" Lin Ran responded to the manager's words.

"Four." Guo Hao had already prepared the information and distributed the resumes of these youth training assistants to each team member. "Two of them are LDL rotations, and the other two just came here not long ago."

"Hey, so many?" Xiaoyan sighed.

Thanks to the rapid rise in YM's strength and popularity, the second team in the secondary league is now quite well-stocked.

Among the current major youth training systems, YM is recognized as the most popular club.

The vast majority of high-scoring master kings embarking on the career path with dreams in mind, the first stop is to come here for trial training.

Countless e-sports stars have emerged from the YM youth training system. Perhaps Jack, a 14-year-old top three in the national server and a 30W fan in his debut, cannot be reproduced, but from Lin Ran, Xiaoyan to those who have left the team Xiao Ming and Ning Wang, as well as the next generation of domestic top mid laner knight, they didn't have any other traffic base before their debut.

After Sai Wen's ancestor gradually retired and was used by EDG to sell his feelings, it is no exaggeration to say that these people constitute half of the LPL's domestic star players.

Teenagers all want to be successful and famous, and the YM club, which can be called a mass-produced e-sports talent, naturally fascinates them.

If the results of the trial training are good, there is even the possibility of directly joining the first team of YM. This is the opportunity that many people dream of.

Lin Ran took a look at his resume, and found that the age of these four assistants are all between 17 and 18 years old, so there is no problem of not being able to make it to the LPL stage.

"The data of the LDL league doesn't show anything," Jack said beside him. "It's all random killings, and there is no reference value."

The rest of the teammates agreed with Shiba Inu's opinion. They all came from the secondary league and knew that there was no gold content there.

Lin Weixiang, who looked smart on the outside, also followed the crowd and nodded, then frowned and realized something was wrong.

Who are you implying?

The secondary league kills casually?

Back then, Damei, who was not happy to lead the team to dive into the City Heroes Competition, felt that he was being targeted.

As a jungler, Suantou Wangba has a very keen sense of smell. He noticed the strangeness of the big eyebrow beside him, and immediately patted Lin Weixiang on the shoulder, "Brother Xiang, don't doubt it, Jack is just hinting at you."

He originally thought that Big Eyebrow would go to Jack to settle the score, so that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Xiaocheng still remembers that before the opening match last week, Lin Weixiang used a super ghost knife girl to cheat his own Hanbok king at his fingertips.

He can hold his grudge, he is a thief who borrows a knife to kill someone.

Lin Weixiang did not respond.

Oh I'm a pig?To beat the starter Eddie in front of the head coach and manager?

Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Xiao Kuan cried out inwardly that it's a pity.

Guo Hao is also an old fritter. He has traveled all over the world and dealt with capital all these years. He does not know how much better he is than this group of players. Standing in the center of the training room, he can easily see through everyone's thoughts.

Immediately choose to knock on the table, turn up the volume, "Can you be more serious?"

"The issues discussed now are really important to us!"

Jin Gong acted as a little transparent beside him, didn't speak at all, and was still savoring the bottom of the tomato pot tonight.

Lin Ran stood up, "How about this, Jack and I went downstairs to the second team to see how strong the four supporters are. Seeing is believing."

He is the team leader, and Shiba Inu is the ADC who needs to be paired with the support. They are indeed the most suitable candidates.

"Add me!" Suan Tou Wang Ba raised his hand, "Joining the support team, you can't just leave me alone, right?"

In the end, Jin Gong and Lin Weixiang stayed here, and the other three and the coaching staff all left the room and went downstairs to the training room of the second team.

"Fire pot burn..." When Lin Ran heard the voice behind him, he knew it was his head coach. Hongmi's crappy Chinese pronunciation was very pleasant.

"What's wrong?" He paused.

Hongmi, Gouba and Jiang Chenglu surrounded him.

"Unless you find such a good seed that is against the sky, you will reject the manager's suggestion later, okay?" Gou Ba asked very sincerely.

"Why?" Lin Ran didn't want to understand.

He does have the power.

If it is a normal personnel change, Guo Hao can make the decision himself.

But now it's about the members of the team, as the absolute core of YM, Lin Ran naturally has a lot of say.

His current status in the team is even more exaggerated than Lee Sang Hyuk's status in SKT. No one would regard him as a simple e-sports player.

"That's right, if we bring up a newcomer as an assistant, we have to teach too much," Gou Ba said with a frowning face, "From the most basic soldier line, ward position, to how to fight in team battles, how to revolve around the whole strategy... "

"Just two weeks, do you think it's necessary?"

Hongmi nodded after listening to Jiang Chenglu's translation.

Since today's leave, the two members of the coaching staff have put on the same pair of pants, and the manager Guo Hao obviously wants to promote new players.

Lin Ran thought about it carefully.

Time is really short and there is a lot to teach.

It's not that the support in the secondary league is really that bad, and they don't understand any knowledge of pawn line and eye positions.

It's just that the status is different, and the needs are also different.

Ordinary LPL teams don't need to be top-notch in support, just barely able to use it.

But they are YM, a team that is already on top of the world.

In exchange for an average support in the LPL league, it will obviously not be able to keep up with the team's rhythm, and the effect may not be good after spending time.

Maybe it's not as good as Lin Weixiang - after all, Big Eyebrow has been playing with the team's tactics for the past two years, and the lineup with Jack is also quite good. What is lacking is the roaming experience of the support position and a certain common sense of eye position.

Lin Ran didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Gou Ba continued to persuade, "It's not that Hongmi and I don't want to teach, the team really doesn't have this condition now."

"YM doesn't have a dedicated assistant coach, it all depends on the two of us..." He glanced at Redmi, "There's not enough energy at all."

Many European and American teams have dedicated single-person coaches. These positions are assigned the title of assistant coach. The actual job is to help the players in this position figure out the details of the laning period.

For example, the top lane coach will grasp the top laner's blood exchange, consumption, and line management in training games and games.

There is a limit to what the head coach can teach these things. After all, most of them were not professional players in League of Legends before. Those who have played professionally like Redmi have retired for several years, and cannot keep up with the current growing technical level.

I have to say that the threshold is very high. Unlike the head coach who is mainly responsible for formulating tactics and operating ideas, the assistant coaches have to teach those Korean high-scoring masters how to match up. They must not find keyboard warriors or patients to come, otherwise they will practice with real knives and guns. He was lifted out of the club twice.

This position is basically for the older generation of e-sports players to retire and re-employ, return to the club to shine, and provide some help to the younger generation within their ability.

But YM didn't.

They are a club that has slowly built up from scratch. The oldest players - Lin Ran, Xiao Guan and Jin Gong are still serving, so naturally they cannot be assistant coaches.

It's not realistic to look outside.

Especially for coaches in the auxiliary position, it is simply difficult for them to rise to the sky.

Because of the scarcity of personnel.

No matter which server, the number of auxiliary specialization players is the least, from bronze to king.

Even in the professional arena, the replacement speed of the support position is much slower. For many years, there have been a few old monsters on the stage, and there are not many retired players.

There are only two supporters from the older generation in China, Fengzhong Zhuifeng and Sun Yeyou, one is half-retired and the other is still in aahph.

After that, there are Hirano Ling and Meiko, who are still on the field, counting backwards, they are Shi Senming and Liu Qingsong.

No one could be found at all.

At the time, Guo Hao felt that these teaching assistants were useless, so he asked someone to teach Lin Ran how to match lane?

I'm afraid it's not a success if the assistant can survive for 5 minutes.

The hard skills of each team member are very strong, and there is no need to hire assistants.

What he thought at the beginning was to use all the money wisely, and spent a lot of money to buy the coaching staff of Redmi and Gouba.

If it wasn't for Liu Qingsong's sudden injury, Guo Hao's calculations were indeed right.

Who would have thought that the cervical spine injury that would tear open the wound would suddenly lead to hospitalization?

Now the disadvantages of not having a teaching assistant have emerged. If newcomers are promoted, Hongmi and Gouba must personally teach and assist these laning knowledge.

Seeing that Lin Ran hadn't planned to speak yet, Gou Ba quickly continued to add, "We usually have to supervise the replay training match, update with the version, and study the opponent... We are really very busy already."

Lin Ran pondered for two seconds.

As Gouba said, the YM coaching staff is really busy at ordinary times. The main reason is that the schedule is full all year round, and there is basically no rest time. It is really too much to add work tasks to them.

"What's Brother Hao thinking?" Lin Ran was rather curious.

The rest of YM had already run downstairs to the training room of the second team, and Jack was still waving his hands to urge his mid laner to hurry up.

Lin Ran walked down while listening to the coaching staff's reply.

When he came to the door of the training room of the second team, Lin Ran finally understood the whole story of the dispute between the manager and Gouba Hongmi.

Guo Hao is already making plans for next year.

Because the contracts of YM's starters and six substitutes will all expire during the transfer period this winter and become free agents.

If the club wants to maintain the original lineup for another year, the signing fee + salary that needs to be paid may be close to 9 figures.

After the club has harvested seven or eighty eight of the fans in the LPL competition area, according to the law of diminishing marginal returns, if such a large investment is made, the income will obviously not be as good as before.

Even if Guo Hao sincerely wanted to keep people, it would be very difficult for this funding application report to be approved by BMW China.
