What is a wandering mid laner?

"The Hanbok version has been updated for the global finals today, so hurry up and familiarize yourself with it." After a day's rest, Hanyi summoned the team members again.

"Once you discover any new routines and powerful heroes during qualifying, let us know the coaching staff in time," he rubbed his temples, "we have to get familiar with this version as soon as possible."

In the 6.18 World Tournament version, a lot of heroes who have been in the limelight in the summer game have been weakened. The Q skill of the Rock Sparrow no longer causes additional damage to minions. A group of heroes can't escape...

YM must find a version of strong heroes in the shortest possible time, and formulate a reasonable team strategy based on the characteristics of the heroes.

The global finals lasted for one month, and there were nearly 60 days from the announcement of the version to the end of the finals.

The coaches, analysts, and players of 16 excellent teams from all over the world only studied this version within 60 days. It can be said that the world competition is not only about the personal strength of the players themselves, but also the level of the coaching team.

The level of the coaching staff for the team that can go to the end is definitely world-class.

However, YM played a week of training with a team that also came to South Korea for training, and the record was very average.

They can't seem to find the correct way to open the version.

Another loss.

Lin Ran watched TSM wipe them out in 22 minutes, and then rushed to capture the dragon. The head ratio in the upper right corner was 10:22, and YM was at a huge disadvantage.

【GG】

Lin Ran typed on the screen.Then exit the game and slump on a chair.

"Shi Senming, what's the matter with you?" Coach Han Yi tried hard to suppress her anger, but her voice was raised a bit.

"My, my..." Xiao Ming hurriedly apologized, scratching his hair in frustration.

In this round, he used Karma. During the laning period, he ran around in a wave, and the opponent's jungler seized the opportunity to solo kill and send off the early rhythm; Was killed by a concentrated fire.

"The rhythm is wrong, buddy." jkl sighed.

The whiteboard in the training room records YM's training results for the last week. Red markers represent failures, and there are many marks left on the whiteboard.

It's not ideal, and the winning rate can reach [-]%.

In the training room, Hanyi, Brother Hao and the others remained silent.

"Take a break. If you continue to play like this, you won't improve. We have to sum up our experience." Su Cheng, who witnessed the whole training match in Shanghai, said softly.

"This EDG and tsm are too fierce!" Xiaotian was a little puzzled, "Their two training games have a winning rate of close to 9%. They hammered us and the Tigers to the ground. Isn't this a lock for the final?"

Han Yi didn't say a word, but frowned tightly, he almost wanted to curse just now.

"You don't need to feel sorry for yourself. Aren't we training a new lineup? A few losses are inevitable." Brother Hao quickly stood up to ease the atmosphere.

"But EDG and tsm can crush us with the heroes of the summer split. Our new lineup is useless at all?"

Xiaotian complained, leaned back on the gaming chair and took a sip of water.

"How about we play two sets with the old lineup tomorrow?" Brother Hao tried to communicate with the coaching staff.

Compared with the record, as a manager, he pays more attention to the mentality of the players.

"I think you can try..." Xiaotian said from the side.

"no!"

Hanyi directly vetoed it.

"Continue to fight like this, you will get used to losing or losing." Hanyi's tone was irrefutable.

"Using the old lineup now is harming you. What's the use of having a good training match? You will know how it feels when you play the game!"

"Why is the version version? Anyone who doesn't follow the version will die halfway!" Han Yi was extremely strict, "Is your goal to be the top eight? Are you satisfied with only one top eight?"

"Then we don't need our coaching staff! You players are on the stage and BP, who can't fight with your personal ability? Isn't it easy to win the top eight?"

The main analyst beside him looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and kept silent like a Buddhist.

He is in his 30s, and he is a solid e-sports old man. Last year, he planned to go back to his hometown for a blind date and get married, but he was fooled by Chubby and played for another season.

Seeing Hanyi's serious face, Brother Hao quickly dragged him away to have a heart-to-heart talk outside.

"Go and rest!" He said before leaving.

The door was closed, and the remaining 6 team members looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Several teammates left the training room one after another and went back to their respective rooms.

Someone kicked the metal trash can by the door, making a sharp noise.

Lin Ran sighed, then picked up his phone to video with Su Cheng.

"They're all gone?" Su Cheng's voice was very soft, and Lin Ran could faintly hear her soft breathing.

"Yeah." Lin Ran rubbed his temples, "If we continue like this, our mentality will collapse."

Su Cheng was wearing home clothes, her long hair hung over her shoulders, and the pen in her hand kept spinning.

"I'm just a part-time assistant analyst, and I don't want to interfere too much. As the captain, you have to appease your teammates." Su Cheng sighed, "Except for SKT, which has never played a training match with us, we currently have the most practice lineup. team."

"To be honest, a 6% winning rate is enough," Su Cheng comforted Lin Ran, "Other teams have more or less continued the BP and style of play of the summer split, and the system is much more mature than ours."

"The main reason is... our previous spring and summer training games went very smoothly," Lin Ran hesitated. "Before, there were very few teams that could beat us in the BO5 training games."

"Currently, the changes in the version are mainly concentrated on the three positions of Uenosuke. It is difficult for Xiaoming to adapt. Last season, he always liked to accompany Xiaotian and you to roam around and do things. Now that he has changed his style, it is normal for him to expose problems in the bottom lane."

Su Cheng flipped through the data in the notebook.

"You should pay more attention to the mentality of your teammates in the past two days. After going to the United States, there is only one week left before the start of the game," Su Cheng suggested. "At that time, you have to adapt to the jet lag and accept interviews. You will be very busy."

"I understand." Lin Ran nodded.

"I'm going to take a shower, you should deal with this matter quickly, see you tomorrow morning." Su Cheng waved his hand, said goodbye to Lin Ran, and turned off the video.

Lin Ran did what he said, and knocked on Xiao Ming's door after taking a shower.

"What's the matter, Brother Ran?" Xiao Ming opened the door and asked, judging from his expression, he was very depressed.

The team booked a double room, and JKL was also sitting in it at this time, eating Korean-style fried rice noodles. He seemed to have a good appetite. Seeing Lin Ran coming, he quickly stood up and moved a chair for him.

No, he remembered that before JKL came to Korea, he said that he must not be used to the food here, why does it taste better and better?

"You guys have seen the results of this week's training match, it's not very good," Lin Ran sat on a chair, trying to calm his voice, "Go down..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ming interrupted Lin Ran, "I know, the problem lies with me, even Xiaotian and Jack are uncomfortable beating."

After speaking, he lowered his head and pretended to be a quail.

"That's right, the problem is with you," Lin Ran said, "Have you ever thought about why?"

Xiao Ming didn't answer, Lin Ran continued.

"Because of the version problem, rhythmic roaming heroes can't be selected, but you still like to cooperate with Xiaotian when you use soft support. Tomorrow, when the data comes out, you can carefully count how many times you died on the way to support, and how much you gave. Wave rhythm, you haven't changed your style of play this week."

Seeing that Xiao Ming was about to speak, he continued, "You haven't understood what you need to do in this version of the finals?"

"Rely on the lane, play laning suppression, you don't need to help the middle and the wild set the rhythm, I will help Xiaotian fix the wild area, and then the two of us frequently go to the bottom lane to support, whoever can control the bottom lane and eat Xiaolong will control it early advantage."

Lin Ran dissected his understanding of the new version layer by layer, "This is a mid-field linkage version, you just need to protect the view of the dragon pit, and wait for me and Xiaotian to go down the road."

"Tomorrow in the training match, unless necessary, don't take the initiative to leave the bottom lane. Xiaotian and I will take the initiative to move closer to you." Lin Ran said.

"But I..." Xiao Ming still hesitated.

Lin Ran sternly said, "If you take the initiative to leave JKL tomorrow at a non-essential time, I will tell the management to let Hanyi review the game for you alone for an hour."

Xiao Ming shivered, recalling Han Yi who was extremely strict today, and quickly agreed.

Lin Ran went back to his room to talk to Xiaotian again.

He wants to reverse all the thinking of these people.

Why do some teams play with 4 guarantees and 1 no matter what lineup they play?

Because a hero trait is a hero trait, and a player's style is a player's style.

The team's style of play is combined with the lineup selected on the spot and the player's style, for example, 4 guarantees 1, this style of play can be understood from the perspective of hero selection, or from the player's style.

Some people play him like an angel with Akali. It is obvious that the dual-core lineup can make a 4 guarantee 1 system. Who is to blame?

The player has such a style, if you give him the angel Akali, can he get a C, no.

In the early morning of September 9, Korean time, the United States on the other side of the ocean opened the global finals draw ceremony, which also announced the official start of S11.

Lin Ran, who always went to bed early, was also dragged by his teammates to stay up late. It happened to be Saturday, and Su Cheng had no class, so he simply turned on the video to watch today's lottery with everyone.

Due to the famous 2-2 of the MSI European Division team G8 this year, the European Division was deprived of the No. 6 seed in S[-].

The remaining four No. 4 seeds from the five major regions form the No. [-] seed pool: ROX, YM, TSM, and FW.

Each group has a No. [-] seed. They will not meet in the group stage, and there will be a principle of avoidance for teams in the same division.

The second seed pool has 8 teams: SKT, SSG, G2, H2K, AHQ, CLG, RNG, EDG.

Intz, ANX, and the third seed C9 and European Snake who stood out from the wild card division were divided into the third seed pool.

As usual, several professional players from ancient times were invited to the lottery ceremony this year, and Smile from WE was also invited as a guest.

Captain Jack, a good friend of faker from the LCK, is in charge of the lottery for the No. [-] seed pool.

Everyone in YM is still very relaxed at this time. After all, the four No. [-] seed pools do not meet each other. The key to the draw is the other three opponents in the same group.

The LCK Tigers are in Group A, the LMS Flash Wolves are in Group B, YM is in Group C, and TSM is in Group D.

"We will draw again for the quarter-finals, and now there is no distinction between the upper and lower halves." Brother Hao watched JKL counting opponents with his fingers, and popularized his knowledge.

The strength of the opponents in the second seed pool should not be underestimated. Everyone in the YM training room finally tensed up and stared at the sealed lottery ball in the hands of the lottery guests.

G2 was assigned to Group A.

The next lottery... The guests pulled out the team strips and unfolded them to face the camera with a smile on their faces.

Yellow and red wings team logo!It was last year's defending champion SKT!

Group B!

Everyone in YM breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing that the Tigers are not in Group B. Otherwise, they would avoid the same division and SKT would be assigned to us. The group stage would be more difficult." JKL showed a characteristic Shiba Inu smile.

In the next ball, YM is about to see their first group opponent!

After smiling and unfolding the team logo, Ning clenched his fists tightly and let out a cheer.

"Dabuliucha, forever god!"

The team logo in his hand is AHQ from the LMS Division!

This team is known as the Wanwan version of EDG, and each position is a castrated version. It is a weak second-seeded pool team.

"Good smile, this is a good lottery!" Everyone in YM rejoiced.

After several twists and turns, the YM crowd ushered in their second opponent in the group stage - H2K led by Yue Lun.

"Get the lottery! Get the lottery!" Brother Hao was as excited as the team members. No one wants to meet the LCK team that has won three consecutive championships. As long as they are in the non-Korean group, YM has a high probability of competing for the first place in the group!

"It's great without EDG and TSM." Xiao Tian was quite satisfied lying there on his back. He was almost broken by the two kings of the training match last week.

The last pick in Group C comes from INTZ in the wild card division.

At this moment, it is not only the YM training room, but also the domestic audience who are staying up late to watch the lottery are also beaming with joy.

"One thing to say, there is nothing wrong with signing on YM, right?"

"Indeed, keeping a group first is not a big problem."

"If you still can't get the first place in the group, I suggest swimming back from the United States. From now on, I will be a YM black forever."

"It's going to be difficult for EDG and RNG. There won't be only one top 8 this year, right?"

The lottery ceremony has officially ended and the results are as follows:

Group A: ROX (Tigers), G2, CLG, ANX (CIS wild card)

Group B: FW (Flash Wolves), SKT, EDG, C9

Group C: YM, AHQ, H2K, INTZ (Brazilian wild card)

Group D: TSM, RNG, SSG, SPY (European Snake)

After winning the upper lottery, the YM players walk with wind, while the other two brother teams EDG and RNG are full of bitterness. Their opponents are quite strong, and the qualifying situation is not optimistic.

In the next two weeks, YM suddenly became enlightened. Xiao Ming forced himself to stay in the bottom lane and match up, protecting JKL and no longer wandering blindly.

YM quickly switched from the previous middle-field assistant linkage to a middle-field team. Lin Ran frequently took out superior heroes who could get the lane right, and then accompanied Xiaotian to reverse the opponent's jungle area, controlling Xiaolong with four packs and two packs to tear down the bottom lane. Tower, followed by the familiar snowball rhythm.
