On the afternoon of June 8th.

"Team uniform, mouse pad, ......" Guo Hao stood in the center of the training room, reminding the team members to check their backpacks, "Jack, you tie your shoelaces tightly, you accidentally fell when you went out like this." ”

This is the first day of the summer competition, and Guo Hao is in the same mood as the parents who watch their children walk into the school gate on the first day of school every year.

He urged each player to check the essentials and then talked about the usual do's and don'ts.

"We are not newcomers who have just played LPL, we all know these rules." Lin Ran said with a smile.

That being said, Guo Hao still didn't bother and helped them determine everything before leading the team out of the base.

Sitting in a BMW-sponsored car, the white crescent moon pursed her lips and flipped through the information.

Su Cheng sent him a 20,000-word version analysis report a few days ago, and the task of the white crescent moon was to find the answer to the version, and then match it with the characteristics of each team member and the overall style of the team.

Although the analysis report provided by the analysis team was very detailed, he was still in a state of mind.

The version changes too much.

The results of the training matches in the past few days after the holiday have fluctuated, and the overall win rate has even dropped to 60%.

Although the training matches with YM are all strong teams at the level of SSG, SKT, KT, RNG, and WE, the 60% win rate is still low for YM.

You know, between the spring and mid-season rounds, their training match win rate is approaching 85%, and other teams are no match for YM except for SKT, which can pose a threat to them.

As Lin Ran said before, the problem lies in the canyon pioneer.

Originally, this was just a big guy who could give heroes a BUFF, but I didn't expect it to turn into a tower pushing artifact.

Now YM has to make a trade-off between the four-pack two and the Canyon Pioneers.

Teams like SKT and Samsung are on the verge of a resurgence – teams that don't have to focus all their energy on defending against the potential for YM right now.

If the lower lane is besieged and the tower is crossed, the jungler will swap the canyon vanguard, and then directly summon it to push the tower.

At this time, Lin Ran will be quite passive - YM will get a blood tower, but the middle one tower will also be pushed down.

You must know that his wandering support is based on the fact that the middle one tower cannot be demolished, and the middle one tower is used as the defensive gate of the team's vision and wild area in the early stage, and the consequences will be quite serious once it is pushed down.

If they don't use four packs of two, their ability to snowball and dismantle towers in the early stage will be lowered by a notch - because ADC Jack, who is the main force of pushing towers, can't develop.

It is really stable and dragged to the later stage, and YM is not the opponent of old management powerhouses like Samsung and SKT.

This is a paradox.

The white crescent moon has not yet figured out how to solve it.

The convoy slowly drove into the Super Brand Mall, and the cameraman Yicun was already ready, holding the SLR camera hanging on his chest and running over.

The YM crowd got out of the car and said hello to him.

In the past year, they have been competing abroad several times, and they are quite familiar with the official cameraman.

Lin Ran responded to the request of a village, and gave a thumbs up and gestured.

They arrived at the venue much earlier than the spectators, and after putting on their makeup, they sat in the lounge waiting for the white crescent to emphasize the tactical arrangement.

"Today's game ......" Bai Crescent frowned, standing in the center of the lounge and looking at the players sitting around, "Lin Ran, you better take the late core output, don't force yourself to play four packs of two." ”

The white crescent moon glanced at everyone, "Of course, if the opportunity is good, it should still be caught." ”

Lin Ran nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Jin Gong, pay attention to the ......layout of the defensive eye position in the jungle area in the early stage," the white crescent continued in a deep voice.

The end of the meeting is approaching, and the contestants have a short free time.

As long as Lin Weixiang is there, there will be no cold scene in the lounge.

Lin Weixiang looks like a weight-added version of Wu Yifan wearing sunglasses, he is wearing headphones to watch the video of the earthy hornworm, shaking his head and making two excited pig calls from time to time.

Liu Qingsong next to him looked disgusted, and he couldn't wait to slap Lin Weixiang to the ground.

At 4:30, Lin Ran went to the back of the stage to wait for the opening ceremony under the instructions of the on-site staff.

Representatives of the twelve teams gathered, Uzi and Devilfoot Seven gathered together to whisper, and two fake Koreans, Broiler and Doinb, were communicating in Mandarin with the flavor of mutton skewers......

Even the promoted Ma Suning's top single wolf line also found Wang Zixi as a chat partner.

Knight was left alone in the corner and picking at his fingers, looking lonely and cold.

When he saw Lin Ran coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's like seeing a savior.

Knight waved his hand vigorously and grinned.

Lin Ran first chatted with a few players who came over to greet him, and then sat down next to Jinjin's left hand.

"No one to talk to you? Let me introduce you to it? ”

Thanks to his excellent emotional intelligence, excellent achievements, honors and popularity, Lin Ran is very popular in the LPL circle.

If he had introduced him, those LPL stars would definitely accept the golden left hand as one of them.

Knight hurriedly waved his hand, his voice still muffled, "No need...... I don't know what to talk to people about. ”

Seeing that he didn't agree, Lin Ran nodded and didn't insist anymore, and asked instead, "Are you okay with the new team?" ”

"Everyone is very welcoming," Lefthand smiled shyly, "and they all take care of me." ”

Lin Ran put his mind at ease.

As far as the character of the golden left hand is concerned, if he doesn't play e-sports but directly breaks into society, he will definitely be beaten and suffer a lot of losses.

Five o'clock arrived, and 12 team representatives lined up to take the stage under the guidance of the staff.

Every time Ren Dong pronounces the name of a team, the representative players will appear on the stage to meet the cheers of the audience.

The first one on the left hand was called out, and Lin Ran sat there and waited silently.

In fact, Knight is not low in popularity right now.

YM's mid-laner has brought him a lot of traffic, coupled with the performance of the secondary league to crush other opponents, many viewers who support YM regard him as Lin Ran's successor.

Today's opening match led by YM, there will naturally be no shortage of YM fans sitting in the audience, and they will not hesitate to applaud and welcome the future star of the LPL.

The cheers reached a peak when the factory director and Uzi took the stage, both of whom were considered cards since the establishment of the LPL, and the audience gave them full respect.

After the factory director left, Lin Ran was the only one left in the house.

"The house is not good," Lin Ran said to the staff when he came to the stage, "The temperature of the air conditioner is too high." ”

……

Ren Dong waved his hand violently, dragged out his tone, and shouted loudly in a subdued voice: "Finally, let's welcome the player representative of Team YM - Ran!" ”

The audience was already boiling, Lin Ran stepped onto the stage, and as far as the eye could see, the audience was full of his supporters, and the fans held light signs and banners of support, and the shouts did not stop for a moment.

If Uzi and Ghostfoot Seven are the flickering flames in the dark era of LPL, Lin Ran is the dawn light that tears through the darkness and brings hope to LPL!

Bobby, who was standing backstage, applauded Lin Ran's appearance just like the audience.

Whether in terms of honor or personal image, Lin Ran is the iconic figure of LPL he wants to create.

Bobby never minds using media resources to raise esports stars higher.

According to the public opinion of the forum, this is called god-making.

It's actually quite normal in the esports world.

With so many multimedia resources in hand, if you don't praise Lin Ran, a person with achievements and strength and a positive image, is it difficult to support a player who has no results and no strength?

It's unrealistic to think about.

For example, the marketing account must want to rub the popularity of Uzi, not to rub the popularity of the players in the lower reaches of the LPL, such as the rain emperor Ding Huang Xuan Xuanpi.

Besides, people like Lin Ran and Lee Sang-hyuk are not god-making in the true sense, at most, they just use resources to pile up their already stable god position higher.

Lin Ran stood in the center of the stage according to the requirements of the on-site director during the rehearsal, and the group makeup photos of YM flashed on the big screen behind him.

In the photo, Lin Ran occupies the center position, Xiaotian and Jin Gong stand on both sides of Lin Ran with their hands on their chests, and Jack, the Prophet, Lin Weixiang, and Liu Qingsong stand opposite each other at the back of the photo.

Everyone looked cold, Lin Ranping in the makeup photo stretched out his right arm, and the forearm exposed outside the team uniform was well-proportioned, and the muscles were slightly highlighted; With the four fingers up together except for the thumb and the slightly raised chin, it looks like the king is waiting for the challenger below.

On top of that, YM fans also found their home team wearing a new uniform.

It's still a classic black and red element, but this version of the team uniform has a bit of a sense of tearing.

Three crimson claw marks spread from the left rib to the right waist, and the space around the three claw marks was filled with black, which looked mysterious and deep.

On the top of the left rib, there is a large blank space from the chest to the shoulder, and the left chest is inlaid with the black and red logo of YM.

In the center of the garment, there is a circular BMW blue and white logo.

The audience who was watching the live stream in front of the screen was extremely excited.

[I don't know how high it is higher than the uniforms of other teams!] 】

[This makeup photo level is okay, it is worthy of being the biggest card in LPL.] 】

[Secretly, it's mainly handsome, especially the guy who stands in the C position. 】

[Is there any uniforms sold in the team uniforms mall?] @YM e-sports club, I want to send money! 】

[Buy, buy, put on the YM team uniform, you are also a person with a BMW! ] 】

After all 12 teams appeared on the stage, the 2017 LPL Summer Tournament kicked off!

"Good afternoon, summoners on site and in front of the screen!" The opening game is still the same old taste, and the doll opened loudly, "Welcome to the 2017 LPL Summer ......"

After an entire commercial pitch, Miller picked up the conversation, "I haven't seen each other for two weeks, and in the blink of an eye, we've gone from the mid-season championship to the summer game." ”

"There will definitely be new changes in the new version, the day before yesterday the summer season in the other four major regions was the first to start, I can only say that this is completely different from the mid-season event environment!"

The doll nodded in agreement with her partner's statement, "Today's opening game is also the highlight, with the previous LPL champion giant EDG challenging YM who has just won the mid-season championship trophy!" ”

"More importantly," Miller said with a smile on his hands over his chest, "the spicy man is back." ”

The director switched the camera in real time and aimed at the factory manager in the EDG player's seat.

He was laughing with the junior brother on the side, and the dead fish's eyes were full of unique charm.

"Look at the state of the factory director who returned after missing most of the spring games, how he adjusted!"

As soon as the doll's voice fell, the opening game officially began!

"YM, who has the right to choose sides, chose the blue side, and they took the lead in banning Shen!"

EDG pressed Camille to the cold bench.

"Ban Camille...... The dual-card and dual-belt system used by YM in the mid-season is very strong, and it seems that EDG has not found a solution! ”

YM second ban to Zack, this hero's full-level E skill can provide 1800 yards of ultra-long displacement, with R [dynamic pinball] can start a group without brains, which is unguardable.

EDG backhanded to ban the spider, this little genius.

"Then now there are only two T1-level jungler heroes out there, Pig Girl and Barrel," Miller said, holding his glasses, "Look at this is one for each side." ”

"I have to say that the weakening of the blind monk is great news for the factory director," the doll said with a bit of ridicule, "EDG can save a ban to do other things." ”

In the last ban, YM banned Sindra, and EDG hesitated, but still didn't dare to release Lucian.

Although the price of this version of the rundown has been increased by 100 gold, and the effect of the Black Cut Armor Piercing has been nerfed (as shown in the previous chapter), this does not affect Lucian's laning strength.

EDG now knows very well that the only way to win YM is to rely on midlaners.

Ah Guang on the road is a miniature version of Jin Gong, and his ability to resist pressure and carry is much weaker.

The strength of Emperor Z in the lower lane is also extraordinary, and he can often bring EDG fans to tears; Meiko was quite strong on the line after losing Mr. Dai, but in the middle of the game, he began to get lost and fall ill from time to time.

This kind of combination of up and down roads does not rely on primary school brothers to forcibly break the game, and there is basically no chance of winning.

"YM grabbed the pig girl, so the factory director should be going to take the wine barrel!"

EDG first and second-hand to take the prince and Xia.

It is worth mentioning that this hand prince is not used for jungle.

Instead, it walked up to the unit, which was quite retro.

The simple reason is that the version environment has changed.

The first is direct reinforcement.

W [Golden Shield] has increased the shield value in the early stage, and the ability to exchange blood for online battles has been increased; Moreover, the additional shield value has been changed from the original fixed value to the maximum health percentage of the prince, with a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 4%.

(The update is shown in the picture.,This enhancement is really outrageous.,The shield of the current version of Prince W is only 1.5% of the maximum life shield.,Everyone compares to understand how strong it was at the time)

The second is the replacement of version heroes.

Originally, in the spring game, only the top laner Phantom God was the role of Meattan, but now the tank hero has also begun to rise in the jungler, and there is a big meat ball in the middle lane, and Tambron in the lower lane also has a tendency to change in the direction of Meattan.

This version of the all-people meat tan is too comfortable for the prince.

Q [Dragon Impact] provides 26% armor-piercing at max level, and Blackcut now pierces 24% of the full stack, and the two stack together, ideally clearing 50% of the opponent's armor.

You must know that this is not only for him, but all teammates can enjoy the armor-piercing effect!

This is definitely a huge boost for the team!

And the last reason for the rise of the prince is the change of equipment.

The gargoyle slate armor is a perfect fit for the prince. (Gargoyle slate armor effect as shown in the picture)

It provides the prince with good resistance, and the health provided by the active effect [Metalization] allows the prince to enter the field and drag his teammates for enough time - a top single prince EQ cracks into the opponent's face and then opens the gargoyle slate armor to resist damage and then open the W shield, just thinking about it feels picturesque.

What's even more outrageous is that there is a linkage between the changes to the gargoyle slate armor and the prince W's [Golden Shield].

Gargoyle Slab Armor's active [Metalization] increases HP to 100% if there are at least 3 enemy heroes nearby.

Giant Hydra + Black Cut, the level 15 prince has 2500 blood, and ideally, the EQ ultimate move will trigger [Metallization], and his HP will be 5000 points!

Each hero hit by the Golden Shield can provide 4% of the Prince's maximum health shield, and if you hit 3 people, you will get 600 points of shield value when [Metallization] is enabled!

A 200 double anti-prince with 5000 blood + 600 shield is simply a team battle-stirring stick!

What else can be said about this?

Riot designers are worthy of making music with their hearts and making versions with their feet.

The single belt can deal with the tank, and the functionality of the group is stronger than that of other warriors, which is the strength of the current prince, and he sits firmly in the position of the single brother on the version. (The unit appearance data in the S7 summer game is shown in the figure, and the prince is really leading)

And if you want to make the two pieces of equipment of black cut + gargoyle slate armor, you must be a single prince who can eat resources alone in professional competitions.

In the current version of this wild monster spawn rate, it is undoubtedly more difficult for the Jungler Prince, who has no money to farm and has to take on a lot of vision tasks, to make these two large items.

This kind of hero who is not difficult is more suitable for Ah Guang, who is not good at operating.

"Are we going to take a lot?" The white crescent moon asks for the opinion of the prophet.

The prophet subconsciously licked his lips, "...... Isn't it? ”

His Luo is a hero who can't be practiced so far, and no matter how he plays, he doesn't have the kind of elegant feeling that others have, and it's really a bit crotch-pulling.

"Jin Gong?" The white crescent moon looked at his own steady order again.

Jin Gong pinched his fingers, "Sword Ji." ”

He got the S6 Champion skin for Fiona, and Kenhime is definitely his proud hero.

When the audience saw the woman carrying a Western sword appear in the YM selection box, they burst into enthusiastic cheers!

This kind of hero with a sense of operation and ornamentation has always been able to attract the attention of the audience!

"YM lock up Kenhime and Verus!" Miller on the commentary platform also shouted loudly, "Jian Ji has a huge advantage over the prince in the middle and late stages when leading the line on the side!" ”

The prince can use the dragon impact to wear out the sword girl's HP in the early stage, and after the sword queen's level gradually increases and the equipment is gradually replenished, there is only the share of being beaten.

Kenhime's W [Laurent Heart Eye Knife] can block the Prince's EQ or ultimate, and the true damage of the flaw makes the Prince's resistance useless.

EDG's first round of BP ended up choosing a jungler keg.

In the second round of banning people, both sides block the positions that their opponents have not yet chosen.

EDG disabled Rock Sparrow and Clockwork; YM bans Luo first, so that the opponent can get the Xia Luo combination smoothly.

In the second ban, the white crescent moon thinks slightly.

There is still an airplane left outside, which is a medium-term strong point.

And since Lin Ran faced SKT in the MSI finals and used Cassadine to perfectly restrain the plane, everyone knew that the version of the Voidwalker was going to return to the court.

This group is a restraint relationship, and Cassadine can't go out first, otherwise it is easy to be restrained by the opponent with AD midlaner.

EDG has the last selection spot on the red side, and it must hide the junior brother's middle unit to the end, and the initiative is always in the hands of the opposite side.

He had no choice but to disable it.

"EDG grabs Bron first, and continues to improve his tanduity and backhand ability!"

"Clockwork, Victor, or Galio?" The white crescent moon gives a three-handed option.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, "Clockwork." ”

He didn't have a choice, otherwise the opposite prince + clockwork system with the ball into the field was formed, and the YM team battle would be very difficult to play.

As for the other entry point with the prince, Galio...... EDG definitely won't pick it.

Since the mainstream of the barrel is also pure meat, EDG's current output point is only Kasumi, although Galio is known as having meat and output, but the damage ability is still not as good as other regular mages.

Moreover, EDG will definitely not trust Emperor Z's output ability, and hand over the output task to him, just wait for the piglet to burst into tears again.

The Prophet used Lulu as usual, and although the hero was nerfed in Update 7.10 (pictured), there was no better option in the Prophet's hero pool.

EDG finally made up the Victor method to export large cores.

The lineups of both sides are determined as follows.

Blue side YM: Top Single Sword Girl, Wild Boar Girl, Middle Single Clockwork, Lower Lane Verus + Lulu.

Red EDG: Top Single Prince, Jungler Barrel, Middle Single Victor, Lower Lu Xia + Bulon.

"EDG's lineup is so solid," Miller sighed, "YM's sword Ji here is a little abrupt, this hero's team battle ability is not strong!" ”

Lin Ran took the sprint, pinched his fingers and waited for the game to load.

Amid the loud cheers of the scene, a picture of the Summoner's Canyon appeared on the big screen!

"Take a look at the red zone, they should come in, Xiaotian, you go to their red open." Lin Ran began to command in the spring water.

On the opposite side, there is a strong hero of a first-class regiment like Bron, and not invading is an abnormal operation.

However, the YM 1st regiment could not win against EDG, and there was no way to defend, so they could only take a look at the invading movement of the opposite side.

"EDG did a great job, they directly wanted to force YM's people out of the red zone and forcibly reverse this group of red buffs!"

Lin Ran watched Bron rush over first, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

He evacuated his wild area with the duo on the lower road, and Xiao Tian also rushed to the opposite red area at this time.

The factory director had no intention of returning to the defense, and it was obvious that he wanted to forcibly change the wild area.

Comparatively speaking, the top laner sword is not easy to catch, and the control of the lower lane is more stable.

In this way, the factory director can use the strength of the first-class team to escort his own road, and he can also threaten the opponent.

Everything is going smoothly, and it seems that the factory director likes the slow-paced control chart.

But the mutation suddenly happened.

"The HP of the two midlaners is a little low, what's the situation?" Miller looked at the status bar and was the first to notice that something was wrong.

At this time, it was only level 1, and the clockwork in the middle lane and Victor's HP were more than half!

The junior brother couldn't understand why Lin Ran wanted to come forward and exchange blood with him.

The first level of the clockwork fight will definitely not win the Victor with Q [Siphon Energy].

But with a radical style of alignment, he saw Lin Ran's clockwork moving forward, so he naturally wouldn't admit it, and fought decisively.

Lin Ran began to retreat after taking a step forward into Victor's range.

The junior brother doesn't give up, follow up and play another general attack!

There was a shield that siphoned energy, and Lin Ran didn't turn around to fight back, just retreated.

In this way, the two sides come and go, and Lin Ran's blood volume is even more lost.

At this time, a woman riding a pig appears from above!

"Pig girl came to the middle after playing red two! Elementary school brother is in danger! The doll's tone was a little worried.

Only then did the junior brother discover Lin Ran's intention to exchange blood for clockwork!

The factory director who was brushing F6 hurriedly walked out and wanted to help his teammates.

But......

"Xiao Tian didn't give him a chance, Q Flash directly hit Victor!"

The bulky pig girl flew up in the hands of the garlic king!

W [Winter's Fury] deals two stages of damage with the help of the gap in the knock!

Coupled with a basic attack with a red buff burning effect, the primary brother's HP becomes disabled!

Despite the purification he carried, it was useless in the face of flying!

Lin Ran flashed AQ and took away a blood!
