LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

During the post-match press conference, the room was packed with reporters who rushed over.

Everyone wants to get first-hand interview information from YM, who just set the LPL regular season record.

With smiles on their faces, Lin Ran and his teammates answered reporters' questions one after another: their prospects for the playoffs, their evaluation of his teammates and opponents...

After the game, Brother Hao took them to a taxi and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.

YM's dining venues are all the same, either hot pot or barbecue.

Because there are so many factors to consider.

Even if Jin Gong speaks Mandarin very well, it cannot change the fact that he is Korean. He is only more compatible with hot pot and barbecue.

Ning and Garlic Bastard are from the north, and their taste is heavier than Xiao Ming from Jieyang, Guangdong and Lin Ran from Suzhou.

And JKL is allergic to seafood... When taking his big-headed son out to eat, he must first reject seafood restaurants. After all, Brother Hao can't bear to watch his players eating instant noodles at dinner parties.

Sitting in the co-pilot of the taxi, Lin Ran turned on his phone. There were already 99+ unread messages on WeChat. Most of them were congratulatory messages. They were messages of congratulations from middle school and high school classmates, the pony next to Pang Dudu, officials from the Dousha platform...

Lin Ran picked up a few friends with whom he usually had good friendships and sent a special reply to the message, and the rest of the editors sent a group message, which was regarded as a unified reply.

His father Lin Mingdong also sent a word of encouragement. Lin Ran didn't know what to say in reply, so he simply sent a string of ellipses.

Then he felt it was inappropriate and added two emojis to make it look more lively and less lively.

Su Cheng sent a congratulatory message as soon as the game ended, probably because he watched the live broadcast.

As soon as Lin Ran replied, Su Cheng's video call came over.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the garlic bastard in the back row was resting with his eyes closed. He didn't play in these two games, so he simply stayed up late every day to catch up. He was so sleepy during the day that he couldn't even open his eyes.

JKL, who was sitting next to Garlic Bastard, was still addicted to phishing, and Lin Ran was afraid that one day he would catch him in it.

The phone was still vibrating, so Lin Ran quickly put on his headphones and turned on the video.

"Awesome, Gouzi, 16 consecutive wins, congratulations." Su Cheng lay on the bed, holding the phone high with both hands, and said to Lin Ran with a smile.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The more important playoffs haven't been played yet." Lin Ran said modestly. His cheeks turned red as he looked at the screen, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the phone.

Su Cheng on the screen was wearing loose white home clothes, and her long black hair was spread out in a mess, making the bed sheets whiter and neater.

Because Su Cheng's clothes were too loose, her two thin and delicate collarbones were accidentally exposed. The clavicle fossa was moderately deep and her skin was white, which reflected in Lin Ran's eyes.

He clenched his hands.

"I'll be there to cheer you on during the playoffs," Su Cheng said, her lips parting slightly, "I hope you can enter the World Championships."

Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Cheng changed her posture and her body was completely covered by her clothes.

Su Cheng's voice in the headphones was soft but firm.

"Lin Ran, have you heard of this sentence?" She looked at Lin Ran with clear eyes.

Lin Ran was stunned for a second.

He can judge his girlfriend's mood through the various names Su Cheng calls him.

On a daily basis, she would call herself Gouzi or Mr. Lin. At this time, she was naughty and cute; but when something serious happened, Su Cheng would call her by her full name.

"What?" Lin Ran asked.

"Don't live in fantasy, don't live in vain." At this time, Su Cheng seemed like a life mentor.

"Mr. *** said it, I know what it means." Lin Ran's breathing slowed down.

"I believe you can do it, right, Lin Ran?" Su Cheng tried to look at her boyfriend.

"...I will definitely do it." Lin Ran answered seriously.

The corners of Su Cheng's mouth raised slightly.

"Oh, by the way, my parents may also go to watch your game during the playoffs." She said abruptly.

As a science girl, Su Cheng was teaching Lin Ran earnestly one second, and the next second her mind jumped to another dimension.

"Ah?" Lin Ran was really confused now.

"Ah what?" Su Cheng curled her lips, "Fudan University will have to wait until next summer for military training. My parents and I will go look at a house outside the school first and plan to rent one and watch your game by the way."

Seeing that Lin Ran's expression was still a bit unnatural, she added, "Oh, why are you nervous? It's not like you don't know who my parents are. Back then, didn't you always call Uncle Su for affection? They wouldn't embarrass you. of."

Lin Ran's mood did not lighten up at all because of Su Cheng's words.

Just kidding, we were close friends at that time, but now that gender has been added to the front and the relationship has changed, can it be the same?

Lin Ran's Adam's apple rolled.

However, he was nervous all night and practiced normally the next morning. For YM, the playoff results are crucial.

Because they are still in the LSPL in the spring, they do not have an advantage when calculating points in the S competition. If they want to enter S6, they have to look at their ranking in this playoffs.

The rules for the allocation of places in the LPL World Finals are quite simple: the winner of the summer split is the No. 1 seed; the top scorer for the whole year is the second seed (the Summer Split champion is not included in the points statistics); the four teams whose points rankings are postponed are The third seed will be determined through the bubble game.

Since YM does not have spring split points, that means that unless they win the summer split championship, they will have to play in the bubble competition - unless another extreme situation occurs, YM is runner-up, RNG is champion, and EDG takes the third place.

In this case, RNG is the Summer Split champion + first in points throughout the year, while YM can get 300 points as the Summer Split runner-up, and EDG, as the Spring Split runner-up and the Summer Split runner-up, gets a total of 290 (200+90) points.

In this way, because RNG is the summer champion, the points for the whole year are not included in the statistics. YM has higher points than EDG and can become the No. 2 seed to enter S6.

RNG faced WE in the final game. Xiaohu suddenly rose up against Xiye. Coupled with Uzi's outstanding performance, they defeated WE and retained their second place in Group B. In this way, they will only meet YM in the finals.

IG, which had a poor record before, defeated the Snakes, IM and NB at the end of the season, ranking fourth in the group and slipping into the playoffs.

The Broilers played a dominant performance in the last few points-grabbing battles.

In the three BO3 games, his output accounted for 37.9%, and his average output exceeded 800. At the same time, he scored 10 solo kills. He simply single-handedly pushed IG into the playoffs.

The final regular season rankings of Group AB are as follows:

Group A: EDG, Snake, IM, IG, NB, SAT;

Group B: YM, RNG, WE, VG, LGD, OMG.

According to the rules, the top four teams in each group advance to the playoffs, while the fifth and sixth teams fall into the relegation zone.

After 5 days of rest, at 1:00 pm on August 10th, the playoffs will start with 8-6 games.

The 8-to-6 format is a little unfair. The fourth place in the group plays the third place in the crossover group, but the third place naturally has a victory.

In other words, the fourth-ranked team needs to win three rounds to win, while the opponent only needs to win two rounds.

Lin Ran didn't know how much the rule setter had drunk before he could come up with such an idea.

IG, fourth in Group A, challenges WE, third in Group B.

The conflicts between the two teams can be detailed from before the establishment of LPL to now. I think they were one of the top LOL e-sports giants back then.

But now the situation is different.

Broiler was unable to survive alone, and WE won two games in a row. From entering the venue to being interviewed, it only took them an hour and a half to defeat the IG team that Broiler had worked hard to support.

Next up were IM, who was third in Group A, and VG, who was fourth in Group B. This game was a lot of nerve-wracking, with BO5 going down to the last round.

IM finally relied on stronger teamwork capabilities to win the game and advance to the top six.

In the relegation match the next day, Sima Laothi finally stood up. The three-game MVP sent electric batons back to his hometown in LSPL. OMG will next face YM's second team in LSPL.

This is a brand-new team formed by Pangdudu. They have good talent but lack of experience. They were eventually defeated by Sima Laothief and Icon, and they can only spend one more season in the LSPL.

On August 12, two 6-in-4 BO5 games started.

WE defeated Snake 3:1.

Mystic crushed Ding Huang in this BO5. The management of the Snake team has always been good at playing with snakes. Even in the last life-or-death situation, they did not choose to replace Brother Crystal, but let Ding Huang, who was suppressed and had an explosive mentality, play. Complete game BO5.

With poor results, they can only hope to play in the bubble match and WE successfully advance.

Five days later, they will challenge YM led by Lin Ran.

In the other half of the area, RNG faced IM in another fierce battle for 5 rounds. The whole BO5 game was very difficult.

IM's excellent vision control restricted MLXG's rhythm, and the little tiger in the middle could not open up the situation. In the end, the game was won by the outstanding performance of Uzi and looper.

IM returned in despair, with only 4 spots in the bubble competition. It is still unclear whether they can catch the last train to S6 relying on the points from the summer split.

Lin Ran didn't watch these two games.

He took advantage of the base's holiday to pick up Su Cheng and her parents.

The high-speed rail station was still full of people coming and going, and Lin Ran found Su Cheng at a glance among the crowd.

The two of them had a good rapport, and when they looked at each other, Su Cheng waved and pursed her lips and smiled.

She walked quickly carrying a small box, followed by a middle-aged couple with outstanding appearance, capable temperament and astuteness.

Lin Ran recognized that they were Su Cheng's parents.

Although he was mentally prepared on the way here, he was still nervous and anxious.

"Gou...Lin Ran," Su Cheng almost said Gouzi subconsciously, but she realized that her parents were still behind her and quickly changed her name.

She called Lin Ran by his first name, "You look stronger than before."

"Yes, I told you there is a gym in the base. I go there often..." Lin Ran replied.

"Then help me carry the box." Su Cheng interrupted him.

She asked Lin Ran why he was exercising because of this.

Lin Ran smiled and took the small box from Su Cheng's hand, and took the opportunity to scratch Su Cheng's palm.

Soft to the touch.

Su Cheng blushed for a moment, Lin Ran seemed to have scratched the tip of her heart, and the itchy and astringent feeling flowed along the blood from her heart to her limbs.

She glared at Lin Ran.

The middle-aged couple behind him finally rushed over, and Su Cheng's mother patted her daughter gently.

"Why are you talking to Lin Ran?" She turned to look at Lin Ran with a smile, "I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and we have become a young man."

"Mingdong mentioned you to me two days ago, saying that you have matured a lot." Su Cheng's father had an elegant face and a gentle smile.

Lin Ran smiled and said hello to Su Cheng's parents. He didn't take Lin Mingdong's evaluation of him to heart. He thought it was just a polite word from Su Cheng's father.

A car picked up Su Cheng and his family from the hotel where they stayed. An hour later, they arrived at the hotel where Su Cheng had stayed.

"I'm a little hot. I'm going to buy an ice cream. Mom and dad, you go check in." Su Cheng saw her father's hidden gaze and hesitated before saying.

"You buy one for Lin Ran, your father and I won't eat this stuff." Su Cheng's mother said, and she went to check in on her own.

Lin Ran looked at Su Cheng's father, whose expression suddenly turned serious beside him, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"Lin Ran," the middle-aged man took off his glasses and took out a piece of lens tissue, "are you in love with Cheng Zi?"

Chengzi is Su Cheng’s nickname.

"Yes..." Lin Ran responded.

"The college entrance examination is over. It's Chengzi's own decision to decide who she wants to fall in love with. As a father, I can't interfere." Su Cheng's father's voice was low.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Ran.

"Your father and I were college classmates, and we both returned to Suzhou to settle down after graduation," Su Cheng's father continued. "Mingdong and I have had a very good personal relationship over the years, and we have a close relationship with each other."

"Chengzi and you have been friends for more than ten years, and my uncle has watched you grow up. To be honest, when I knew that Chengzi was in love with you, I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I also know your character. .”

Su Cheng's father put on his glasses.

"But your work situation is a bit special," Su Cheng's father saw Lin Ran raise his head, knowing that he might have misunderstood, "Don't be nervous, it's the 21st century, I won't engage in any professional discrimination, no matter which industry you are in, you It’s all about ability that makes you stand out.”

"I'm referring to your working environment," he continued the previous topic. "As far as I know, the outstanding players and entertainment stars in your industry are also similar. When the time comes, you will face all kinds of temptations."

Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the female host who interviewed him before.

"I'll be nice to Cheng Zi." Lin Ran felt his throat was dry and hoarse.

"I know, it's just that the work pressure in the e-sports industry is very high. You and Cheng Zi can't see each other often. As a young couple, there will definitely be various conflicts by then."

"Chengzi's temper is stubborn, and he was raised to be spoiled since childhood. I just hope that you two can trust each other and be more tolerant."

"Ah this..." Lin Ran was a little surprised.

He originally thought there would be some bloody drama, but didn't expect this?

At this moment, Lin Ran felt like he had wings and was about to take off.

Father Su looked at Lin Ran, whose mouth corners were slightly raised, and sighed inwardly.

When he heard his daughter say that she was in love, he felt sore and confused at the time. After all, this was the child he had raised for more than ten years. When he thought of Su Cheng living with other people in the future, he felt panicked.

But think about it carefully on the way here, so what if you don’t agree?

Children have their own lives after all.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I heard from Chengzi that your team has entered the semi-finals?" Su Cheng's father put on his previous elegant face again, "If you win two more games, you will be the national champion?"

"Yes, we..." Lin Ran relaxed.

This was what Su Cheng saw when he came back from licking Menglong ice cream. Lin Ran was discussing the e-sports competition with his father.

It just so happened that the check-in procedures were completed at this time. Seeing her parents walking in front, Su Cheng quickly came to Lin Ran and whispered softly.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Ran took an ice cream from Su Cheng's hand.

"It's nothing, your father has no objection to our matter."

"Hey, I knew it." Su Cheng's shoulders slumped, and her expression became visibly happy, contradicting her relaxed tone.

Lin Ran could tell that Su Cheng said he didn't care, but in his heart he was worried about his parents' objection.

It’s still 4K for one chapter, so there’s nothing wrong with two chapters, right?

This Ninja World War lasted only two games, which was not pleasant to watch.
