LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

There is now half a month until the Spanish All-Stars, and the vigorous winter transfer period has reached its climax.

In South Korea, the KT team, which lost to ROX in the summer finals, had an incredible four-kick. Only the old captain Score was left on the team, and the other four players all packed up and left.

The three heroes who left the LPL returned to South Korea and teamed up with smeb, who left the Tigers, to join the KT team.

Smeb, Score, Pawn, Deft, Mata, from the lineup to the hard power, they are extremely luxurious, and the first galactic battleship of the LCK has been formed.

Big news also came from SKT. Veteran Benji left the team for VG, Peanut joined, and Duke left the team and was replaced by Huni, who was flourishing in the S5 finals.

It is worth mentioning that Bang began to work hard after losing the championship, and now he still maintains more than 5 rankings a day, which is quite an astonishing statistic among players in the offseason.

The remaining member of the Tiger Team, Han Hu Kuro, went to the African Team, while Dad and the Rat King went to Dragon Ball.

All LCK teams are in full bloom. They are determined to strengthen their teams and strive to avenge YM in next year's World Championship and regain the LCK Summoner's Trophy.

The big news in the LPL is that in late November, looper, who originally thought he would not leave RNG, suddenly announced that he had decided to go to North America to continue his career.

In the afternoon of the same day, RNG officially announced the joining of assistant Shi Senming and top laner letme.

It was obviously premeditated.

In the all-China class, RNG’s big game in the winter transition finally showed its face.

They want to attract a large wave of traffic at the S7 held in China, Uzi + All-China Class, this is a natural formula for attracting fans.

RNG, which makes up the all-China class, is definitely one of the teams with the highest support from domestic audiences in the new season.

Immediately after IG announced its move to the Snakes, the new top laner was the talented Korean high-scoring laner theshy, and the jungle position was YM's substitute jungler Ye Ning. The kid and Baolan formed the bottom lane.

At the same time, Hanyi also rushed to IG to replace Chris who "closed the door" and became the new head coach.

The top LPL team YM announced the renewal of four championship players. It still maintains strong competitiveness for winning the championship in the new season, but there has been no official announcement of support candidates.

Guo Hao is also worried. There are not many good assistants available on the market. Most of them already have contracts. If you want to sign someone, you have to pay a lot of transfer fees.

In most cases, the transfer fee is much higher than the annual salary. Although Guo Hao was sponsored by BMW, after leaving big contracts for the four star players in the team, the remaining money was not much.

"Have you not found a suitable candidate yet?" Seeing the delay in the arrival of the assistant, Lin Ran couldn't sit still.

Brother Hao was a little embarrassed, "No for now, I talked to ROX's assistant Grella two days ago. After all, he is a free agent and does not need a transfer fee..."

"But he asked to be bound to the Rat King. It was not possible to buy them together. He had to guarantee the starting position. In addition, Grilla came to the LPL because of the language barrier, and his greatest commanding role was also greatly reduced, so the negotiation collapsed at that time. "

If big-name signings were not available, Guo Hao could only find another way out.

He set his sights on the assistant named Prophet from his second team.

The reason is simple. He was Jack's bottom lane partner during the LSPL period. Although he didn't play a few games, he still had some cooperation and was familiar with Jack.

Guo Hao brought him in for two trials.

Han Yi and the main analyst are still packing their bags at the base. Although they have not left the team, their contracts have expired and they have found new homes. They have no obligation and cannot help YM with trial training.

This work can only be completed by Lin Ran and others. Fortunately, it currently involves the trial training of new players during the winter transfer period, and many teams have not taken a complete vacation.

Guo Hao made a phone call to Zuo Wu, the manager of the Snake Team.

After playing in the German Cup, the Snakes finally made up their minds and sent the crotchless Ding Huang to the secondary league. Then manager Zuo Wu claimed to have "seven visits to Incheon three times" and went to South Korea with the intention of recruiting AD player ohq into the team. .

Both sides wanted to try out the bottom lane, and they hit it off immediately and played two training games. The first thing the prophet did when he sat on the chair was to take off his shoes and curl up his legs.

Only then did Lin Ran realize that the prophet was the weird youth training member who had been taking off his shoes to play games downstairs.

After two training matches in an hour, the prophet put on his shoes and went back downstairs first. Guo Hao looked at his players.

"What do you think?"

"I won, but...it doesn't feel right. I played with him twice in the second-tier league this summer. At that time, I directly penetrated the bottom lane," Jack said, "There was no rhythm. You can also win against the opponent in normal laning in the bottom lane.”

"It doesn't feel right? Is it a problem of running-in?" Guo Hao didn't quite understand this, so he played back the video from the OB perspective for other team members to come and watch.

"The vision is a bit rough and the lane moves are a little out of touch. Is there any comment from the management of the second team?" Lin Ran, a review veteran, can see where the problem lies in the bottom lane at a glance.

"Yes." Guo Hao was well prepared, pulled out a file from the folder and handed it over.

Lin Ran glanced at it - Prophet's performance in the secondary league was quite satisfactory, and his personality was relatively introverted, but he was quite talkative after getting close to his teammates. He once reached the top ten in the Korean server with Feng Nu solo volleyball team.

He is a bit older, he is 19 and a half years old this year, which is considered an old man for the youth training team.

"It's barely okay. At least I can make it through to the lane. Is there any other choice?" Xiao Tian was a little frustrated. He and Xiao Ming had been playing together for a year and their tastes were a bit tricky. He wanted someone who could accompany him in roaming and linking up. auxiliary.

The girl at the front desk of the base knocked on the door of the training room.

There were two people waiting for Guo Hao downstairs, saying they had said hello in advance to come to the trial today.

"Yes, it's come as it comes," Brother Hao laughed, "Their bottom lane combination will be in the TCS of LSPL this summer."

Guo Hao left the training room and went downstairs to pick up someone.

Jin Gong suddenly reacted, "TCS? Didn't they drop a grade this summer?"

He played in the LSPL for a while, and there were a lot of former teammates there who heard the news while chatting.

"Can LSPL be downgraded?" Xiaotian was frightened. "How talented is this NM? Can Guo Hao come in and find someone reliable?"

…

In the lobby on the first floor of the YM base, two people were sitting in the reception area. They didn't dare to sink their butts into the soft sofa, which made them look very cramped.

"Liu Qingsong, what kind of bad idea do you think this is? We two rookies who are going to compete in the City Heroes Tournament come to the S6 championship team for trial training?" The fat man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked around, his eyes were confused, and he looked a little stupid. .

"But don't tell me, this big club is really rich. The environment of this base..."

The handsome-looking Liu Qingsong on the side squinted his eyes, "They all said they are lacking support. If there is a ready opportunity, why don't I come and try it out? Maybe I will skyrocket."

"Then why are you holding me back?" The little fat man was a little dissatisfied, "Didn't Jack renew his contract? Why would I, an ADC, join in the fun?"

"There is no shortage of people in the YM youth training? Can't the home team have substitutes?" Liu Qingsong glanced at the fat man with thick eyebrows, "Lin Weixiang, the two of us agreed to go together at the time, and we will also go to the same team."

"What if people make it clear that they only want you?" Lin Weixiang hit the nail on the head.

Liu Qingsong fell into silence. For him, an e-sports player who is currently struggling at the bottom, once he is selected by YM, it means a generous salary and countless opportunities.

"Then let's try somewhere else. If it doesn't work, we can go back and play in the City Heroes Contest." He looked at his partner, "If I have a living, you will definitely be indispensable."

Guo Hao walked downstairs and stretched out his right hand as he walked towards the two of them. His steps were neither fast nor slow. He looked like a confident and successful man, and the two people on one side didn't even dare to fall into the sofa with their butts. People are contrasting.

"You two are the bottom lane duo here for a trial, right? Our training room is on the third floor. Come up with me first." Brother Hao had a gentle attitude.

Liu Qingsong licked his lips unconsciously.

Anyone who comes here is a little nervous. He has been competing in LSPL and City Heroes Competition for more than a year. This summer, he and his teammates just beat TCS team owner Dong Xiaosa to suicide, and the team was broken up.

This is completely different from YM, which won the S6 championship just one year after its establishment.

Liu Qingsong followed Guo Hao all the way up the stairs. The steps under his feet were so bright that his face could be reflected. The walls on both sides were pure white, not even a little bit dirty.

There are two pots of green plants placed in the corner of the stair landing. On the wall are the signed photos of YM players and the frozen moments of each cup.

In the far corner is a photo of YM members holding the LSPL championship.

Liu Qingsong was a little sour.

He struggled in the LSPL with his teammates this summer, but was eventually demoted. Even seeing the minor league championship trophy was a luxury.

But this honor is just a foothold in the YM team.

"We're here, let's go in and take a look." Guo Hao led the two of them to the training room on the third floor and opened the door.

Liu Qingsong took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and followed Guo Hao into the YM first team training room.

It was another hour, and the sky outside the window was getting darker, and a winter rain fell quietly as the twilight closed.

Raindrops hit the glass window of the training room from time to time, hitting Liu Qingsong's heart like a drum beat.

He looked up and saw that Jack and Lin Ran were quietly evaluating the results of their trial training with Guo Hao.

Xiaotian sat down on Jack's seat and watched the second season of "Spirit of the Halberd", having silly fun from time to time.

"Xiao Wang... no, Brother Tian," Lin Weixiang, who had been standing behind Liu Qingsong just now, almost said the words "little bastard", "Can you sign your name for me?"

He specially took a photo of the S6 champion members and handed it to Xiaotian.

As soon as Brother Tian felt comfortable licking the garlic bastard, he took a pen and signed his name on the photo.

Liu Qingsong wanted to scold his stupid AD. Is this the time to sign autographs?

The evaluation over there was obviously over. Lin Ran nodded towards Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, and took out an umbrella from the door.

"Brother Ran is looking for Sister Su again?" Garlic Bastard raised his voice, "Say hello to me and bring back Yangzhou fried rice and Coca-Cola. No Pepsi!"

Liu Qingsong looked at Guo Hao walking towards him and felt a buzzing in his ears. The raindrops outside the window began to pound rapidly, like a horse whipping on his heart.

"If you're not in a hurry to eat, why don't you come to my office to discuss the contract?"

Guo Hao pronounced his fate in one sentence. It seemed that the rain outside the window was so loud that he couldn't hear clearly, and it seemed that he couldn't believe the reality.

Liu Qingsong asked again, "What?"

Guo Hao smiled and stretched out his right hand, "If you agree, we can discuss the contract details tonight."

"Of course, I don't guarantee the starting position. You have to compete with another assistant for the position. It depends on the wishes of the coaching staff."

Liu Qingsong's heart skipped a beat, "What about my AD? He..."

"If you want, you can try out later. It would be nice to be Jack's substitute."

Lin Weixiang was looking for Jin Gong's autograph. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him.

His thick eyebrows were raised in amusement.

Liu Qingsong went to watch Lin Weixiang's trial training, and a message came from his cell phone during the period.

The manager from the NB team decided to give Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang a substitute contract after "thinking for a few days". Together, the two have a total annual salary of 400,000, which is almost the minimum salary line of the LPL.

Liu Qingsong raised his head and glanced at Guo Hao, who looked satisfied, and immediately felt relieved.

NB? Substitute?

Go ahead, I'm going to the S6 championship team!

(Hot knowledge: LWX and Liu Qingsong were also sold as a package, but they didn’t have many playing opportunities in the first season of LPL. Lin Weixiang played 35 small games, and Liu Qingsong only played 9 games. They were playing for a long time. The starting package requirements for substitutes, duo and Grella + Rat King are different)

…

In a community near Wujiaochang, Lin Ran knocked on Su Cheng's door, holding a wet umbrella in his hand and a silver-white aluminum foil thermal bag in the other hand.

Su Cheng was wearing thick white plush pajamas, and the warm yellow light poured down, elongating her figure on the ground.

There is no heating in the winter in Shanghai. There is only an air conditioner blowing hot air in the house Su Cheng rented.

"Have the assistant and coaching staff found a new candidate?" Su Cheng poured Lin Ran a glass of warm water.

"Now that we have a support team, we will rotate between two people. One likes to play soft support like Feng Nu, and the other likes to play hook heroes like Thresh."

"The coaching staff is still discussing. If nothing else happens, the signing should be signed in two days." Lin Ran took a sip of warm water to get rid of the cold. "But I have another good news to tell you today."

"Huh?" Su Cheng was downloading papers on the laptop on the coffee table.

"You can remove the assistant title from your title." Lin Ran opened the thermal bag, which contained Subang cuisine for two people.

"But this doesn't count as a part-time job, right? I'm still a student and can't sign a labor contract." Su Cheng was stunned for a second before responding.

"It's okay. Brother Hao asked. It's just a labor relationship." Lin Ran took out a portion of Biluo shrimp and cherry meat.

"But I can only finish S7. I probably won't have time to do this in my sophomore year." Su Cheng took out all the contents of the thermal bag, "Why is there an extra portion of fried rice?"

"Just think of it as a light bulb, let's eat ours."

At the last moment when Lin Ran and Jin Gong left for Spain, YM's new coaching staff was finally settled, and former OMG coach Bai Yueya Crescent joined YM.

Guo Hao originally set his sights on Homme, the coach of Samsung Bai Gongxun, and planned to spend all the remaining money on hand to hire a good coach back.

But it was too late. WE boss Pei Le used his many years of experience in the e-sports circle to bring Hongmi to the WE base before the annual awards ceremony. With inducements and deception, Hongmi signed the contract early. intention.

At that time, Hanyi had just expressed its intention not to renew the contract. Brother Hao was still worrying about the sponsor's sponsorship and had no time to pay attention to this matter.

Guo Hao had no choice but to be short and pick out generals. Bai Yueya at least had good results with LGD in the spring of S5, so he simply bought him over.

At the same time, the contracts of two assistants - Prophet and Liu Qingsong and substitute AD Lin Weixiang have also been concluded.

Since they were all unknown players who had never played in the LPL before, their salary levels were not high. The three of them put together a live broadcast contract, plus social security and other expenses, which cost Guo Hao less than 1 million a year. It was a cost-effective deal.

…

On December 6, YM staff gathered together to see off the members who left the team.

Han Yi and Ning went to IG. Lin Ran didn't know whether it was good or bad. After all, Han Yi had always looked down on Ning's training volume and training methods; the main analyst went to the Snake Team and got a large premium contract; Xiao Ming went to RNG. Form an all-Chinese class.

When parting, even Han Yi, who had always been calm and serious, couldn't control his emotions, and tears slipped quietly from his eyes.

In one year at YM, they have reached their peak, but who can tell whether the road ahead will be a smooth road or a thorny and dangerous road?

On December 7, the five LPL All-Star players and a group of Tengjing staff boarded a plane to Barcelona, ​​Spain, to participate in the All-Star Game.

It was on this day that Fist finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After the global finals, the purchase rate of the Banner of Command in ranked matches soared 200 times, from the original 0.25% purchase rate to 50%, which means that every two games, players will choose a Banner of Command.

The emergence of this piece of equipment has greatly reduced the living space of mid-to-late game cores such as Clockwork, Ryze, and Victor.

A Flag of Command appeared on the opposite side of the passerby in 10 minutes. These cores could not be dealt with at all. Under normal circumstances, the base would not be able to survive the power period of three pieces of formed equipment, and the base would have been bulldozed.

Riot understands the principle of "whoever is weakened by fire cannot cut the knife girl", so they increased the price of the Flag of Command to 3200 gold coins, and then changed the magic immunity attribute to reduce magic damage by 75%.

Finally, adjust the value of Dao Mei's W [Flying Stance] downwards, perfect.

This year's All-Star Game is divided into Team Absolute Zero and Team Infinite Flames. Each team has three divisions and accumulates points through various situations of competition.

In addition to being interviewed during the day, Lin Ran would catch up on his sleep in the hotel, and at night he would go to a restaurant with the Xiba people to taste delicious food.

This All-Star solo competition requires all 30 players to participate, and Lin Ran was pushed to the top.

In the first game, he communicated in simple English with the Rat King sitting across from him, and the two agreed to use Yasuo to flash + ignite to have a fair contest.

The moment the hero locked in, the Spanish audience immediately screamed with excitement.

They want to see a great showdown.

But domestic audiences obviously don’t think so.

【Have you recovered? I can’t say that Yasuo’s level is better than Ran’s. Diamond goalkeepers are even more proficient than him. 】

[Still using diamond goalkeepers? The old Yasuo of Shirogane Senba is worthy of him in terms of hero proficiency alone. I really admire Yasuo who hits R before the blind monk can hit the enemy with his ultimate move. 】

In the Howling Abyss map, Lin Ran and Rat King bought the Dolan Sword and started playing the flute face to face.

Although Lin Ran is not very proficient in Yasuo, he knows how to beat Happy Style Man.

After he goes online, he always ensures that there are no minions between himself and his opponent - Yasuo's Q [Steel Flash] will not attract the aggro of minions if it hits the enemy through the minion line. On the line, Yasuo releases one and blocks the minions. This detail is very crucial.

The two sides were consuming and replenishing their troops. Lin Ran successfully grabbed 2 and stepped forward to exchange blood. However, the Rat King turned sideways and twisted away the steel slashing flash. He turned around and ate a soldier with remaining health, which also increased by 2.

Lin Ran used his basic attack to break the Rat King's passive shield, and then planned to go back with E, but the Rat King refused to let go and followed up to continue the output.

The commentator for this solo match is Hao Kai. Normally, when he explains the team battle in one breath, he will trigger the passive oxygen bottle, and he will be out of breath, as if he has just finished a marathon.

"Ran didn't panic at all, he wanted to use the military line to fight back, and the two of them started fighting each other!"

"Both sides were able to hang up Ran, and the health bottles were knocked down. Although Ran's first Q was empty just now, the minion output was so powerful that he had the upper hand in health!"

Hao Kai's voice gradually became hoarse as the blood volume of the two happy men at the scene continued to decrease.

Lin Ran stabbed the Rat King with another Steel Cutting Flash. He already had two layers of whirlwind slash effects, and the next Steel Cutting Flash would blow out a whirlwind.

The Rat King also used the wind, and the two continued to attack and exchange blood, calculating the opponent's next Q in their minds.

Lin Ran knew that both sides had a Flash that had not been exchanged. The key to winning this battle was whether the wind could hit it.

He saw a half-health enemy minion nearby and hatched a plan.

"Are the two sides going to decide the winner in just two levels?"

In Hao Kai's almost hoarse voice, Lin Ran stepped forward and slashed towards the soldier, while at the same time the whirlwind in his hand was ready to roll up in a circular sword aura!

The Rat King knew that the cooling of his whirlwind was a little slower than that of Lin Ran. Once this amount of blood was blown up, he would die.

He watched Lin Ran move towards the little soldier, and with a focused look, he realized that things were not simple.

The opponent should use EQ to flash.

The enemy minions around the Rat King had all been hit by him before, leaving him little time to react.

He was quick to judge.

Flash forward!

The moment the Rat King flashed, Lin Ran also flashed at the same time!

"It's really an EQ flash...what's going on?" Hao Kai's sharp and broken voice was full of disbelief.

Not only the commentators, but the audience were also confused. They watched the two Yasuos complete the transformation in an instant. The Rat King moved to Lin Ran's original position, and Lin Ran flashed to the Rat King's position.

Logically speaking, the Rat King predicted Lin Ran's EQ flash, but the Rat King was still blown away!

The Rat King with residual health was stabbed in mid-air by Lin Ran's basic attack. Then the two sides landed and stabbed each other with their swords. The Rat King fell to the ground, and Lin Ran narrowly won with 100 health!

The large screen at the scene quickly gave a slow-motion playback.

Audiences around the world who were watching the live broadcast witnessed an incredible scene.

Lin Ran turned back to the EQ minion, and then tried to use flash to pull the whirlwind to the Rat King's original position.

But he didn't seem to practice this operation often, and his finger reaction was a little slower. The EQ flash failed unexpectedly, and the whirlwind still rolled up in place!

And the Rat King's prejudgment flash happened to hit this whirlwind!

[I’m going to die laughing, Lin Ran, this Yasuo hahahaha]

[Lin Ran: Didn’t you expect that? I can’t use the EQ flash at all. 】

[Rat King: Ouch...he's too bad, I'm anxious! 】

The barrage was full of laughter. No one expected that the ending of this solo game would be so fantastic.

The Rat King guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

"Did you expect that I would flash?" the Rat King asked him in English with a pickle accent.

"That's not true. I've basically never played this hero. I'm just a pro." Lin Ran smiled helplessly.

After escaping the danger, he fell into the hands of smeb.

The two still used Yasuo solo, but smeb was not fooled this time and waited for Lin Ran to make a mistake and successfully complete the solo kill.

However, Lin Ran was not discouraged and decided to prove himself in the afternoon clone battle.

Team Absolute Zero and Team Infinite Flame each sent 5 players to participate in the Clone Battle, and the 5 players on each side could only choose the same hero.

"Lee Sin, Lee Sin..." Lin Ran sat in his seat and began to discuss with his teammates about choosing the blind monk.

Jankos readily agreed, and Karsa from Lightning Husky also locked the Blind Sin after glancing at the factory director.

"You little brat, you want me to die, right?" The factory director glared at Lin Ran with his classic dead eyes.

"I want to show off my skills this time, and I have to prove my hand speed." Lin Ran said seriously.

Although the factory director had long been prepared to be entertained, he did not expect that the other party would also choose five blind monks!

"Ten blind monks! Are you going to play football?" The doll in the commentary box began to smile evilly.

"First tell me clearly, who is the ball?" Miller was also very happy.

"I'll be the ball, can I be the ball?" The doll quickly went back to make up for it.

The person in charge is undoubtedly the factory director.

Although the remaining 9 players on the scene were not all junglers, they were quite skilled in heroes such as the blind monk. Only the factory director was left with a slow reaction, and even his eye touch speed was a bit slower than others.

Throughout the game, the director was kicked in various tricks.

In this entertainment competition, Lin Ran wants to prove that he is by no means a weakling, and his operations must be flashy.

Blind Monk's W dodges to move forward at the extreme distance and kicks the opponent into candied haws; the echo attack is close to the opponent's body, W touches the side of the eye to create distance, and then R dodges and kicks three times.

Finally, he tried to hit the little dragon with the Sky Sound Wave, and then hit the dragon pit with the echo, inserted an eye above the dragon pit in the air, and punished the dragon while grabbing the dragon and touching the eye to leave.

The operation was so smooth that it was directly turned into a GIF by the audience outside the venue.

On the last day, Uzi defeated the curved version of Xiaohu Maple in straight sets in the final of the solo competition, winning his first and only championship this year.

After the All-Star Game ended successfully, Lin Ran thought he could finally take a month off easily, but he didn't expect Teng Jing to start making fun moves again.

"LPL players' ranks must remain at D1 after the reset at the top of the canyon? What genius came up with this crazy idea?" Lin Ran looked at the document in Guo Hao's hand with a surprised look on his face.

"S7 is being held in China, and Tengjing wants to launch the sign of the top of the canyon. This server was very popular when it was launched. You even won the title of No. 1 in the canyon... After that, all professional players in the LPL were ranked in the Korean server. Teng Jing is very dissatisfied with the training and wants everyone to return to the top of the canyon to form a truly powerful area."

"What if I can't hit the drill for a while?"

"The current express rule is that you are not allowed to participate in LPL competitions. I guess it will definitely not be implemented in the end." Brother Hao glanced at the document in his hand, "But just in case, you should rush for points."

The spring game script will start immediately.
