League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 103 Having a good piece of equipment is very important!
"So, after learning about the strengths and weaknesses of both the blue and purple teams during the selection phase, what are everyone's thoughts?"

Jiang Ming smiled knowingly, "Hehe, those of you who watched the live stream today should have learned how to pick heroes after the opponent and counter them. Of course, if you really need to pick first, then try to pick heroes that are not easy to counter in lane."

"The counter-relationships between each position will be explained by the NXG players in the current version. Of course, I will also release a related video later. As for the timing, it depends on the audience's willingness." Jiang Ming winked at the camera.

When it comes to live streaming, every team needs at least one person who understands how to use abstract concepts while remaining grounded in reality.

Having already decided to train the five team members into exemplary representatives, the role of this abstract player can only be played by himself.

Okay, okay, it's just a gift, take it.

[It's just pork floss cakes, I'll buy them, I'll buy them, this time I'm ordering ten boxes (screenshot)]

[The guy upstairs is crazy! Are you eating pork floss cakes like it's your main meal?]

"Ahem, what are you saying? Did I ask you to give me a gift?"

"What I mean is, you guys need to vote for me in the All-Star game, you can't let me get crushed by the second place, right?"

"A bunch of fake fans, bragging on the forum every day that I have millions of fans, with League of Legends taking up a large portion of them, but when it comes to voting, they all show their true colors. Is 20,000 votes reasonable?"

"Ah, a beaver?"

Jiang Mingyi spoke sternly and righteously, while the second reason was to deliberately use a pun.

"Dear friends, the All-Star voting link is in the upper right corner. Please support our NXG team members." (Administrator)
【Ah, yes, you're right, only a puppy would try to scam gifts!】

【Jm: Woof woof】

【Since you said you didn't want a gift, then give me a full refund. (laughs)】

I honestly didn't know about the All-Star voting; I just clicked the link and found out. (laughing and crying emoji)

Is it possible that, JM, you have a large following among ordinary players, and those who voted for WE are mostly people who are constantly following esports news?

Brothers, how dare our adopted son look down on us! Where is the Ming family army? Let's get all the votes for NXG going!

Let's not split the votes yet. WE's team is acting a bit outrageously. Let's secure Ming's first place in the mid lane first.

Here's your vote. I've mobilized the entire company to vote for you, so send me the tutorial video quickly, don't be ungrateful!

[The rich guy upstairs is awesome.]

Seeing that the discussion about the All-Stars had started in the live stream, Jiang Ming then steered the conversation to a few players, since they were the main focus of today's promotion.

"After we finish discussing the draft, I will mute my microphone for a while. Viewers can go to the NXG players' rooms to watch the first-person perspectives from different positions. I will then use screen recording to share the details with everyone."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he turned off his microphone in his live stream, leaving only the chatter of the five NXG members in the game.

Thus, apart from a small number of players who were not interested in the first-person perspective, countless players eager to climb the ranks flocked to the NXG team members' live streams.

Once inside, many people never came out.

Pang Ran: "Log online quickly and pay attention to your position."

Song Yuan: "Should we launch a Level 1 invasion?"

Pang Ran: "We're not going to invade. Lao Song, you take your position and place a ward for Stone at the F4 location before we go online."

Wu Zhiqiang: "The enemy mid laner bought a Crystal Flask as a starting item. I can fight him at level two. Can the jungler watch me fight?"

"Okay, make sure to ward the bot lane early game. I'm going to the top lane first."

It was their first time streaming, and the five of them were quite unaccustomed to it. However, after entering the game phase, the team members quickly got into the swing of things thanks to professional training.

At this moment, the viewers watching the live stream were also intrigued, and their interest in this novel live stream arranged by NXG increased significantly.

Originally, it was thought that the NXG team might just play some high-ranked matches today, chat a bit, and watch each other's gameplay. But now they've come up here and are doing something serious, showing the audience the NXG team account that topped the first server in ranked matches.

How do professional players communicate within their teams?

We'll have to take a good look at that.

Is it familiar?

If players from later generations saw this scene, they would certainly recognize it—it's the post-match hero microphone check.

Imagine, in a future era with so many entertainment programs, people still eagerly await the post-match voice chat between LOL teams. Today, NXG is giving viewers a live broadcast of a match. You can easily imagine how captivated these players will be.

As it turned out, Jiang Ming was right. As the group matches progressed, the players communicated more and more frequently, and the number of viewers and comments in the live stream increased at an alarming rate.

"Be careful, the prince started in the lower jungle, and after clearing the two stone statues, he might gank your top lane."

"Mid laner is out of Flash, can you come gank?"

"The jungler is in the top lane, so you guys in the bottom lane can push forward a bit more and put more pressure on him."

"The policewoman has about ten seconds left to move, let me make the first move."

"...!"

"Their first tower has fallen, and the bot lane duo might switch with the top laner. Stone should come down and gank; if they catch him, they're doomed."

"I've lost my eyes. I'll fix the eye socket later."

"The triangular bush has been warded. There's about a minute left. Go around it!"

"Can we drive it? Can we drive it?"

"It's okay, I'm in a hurry, I'll fight them."

"We can fight 4v5. Lao Song, you go straight to the high ground and we'll hold them off."

"Retreat, retreat, retreat, let's kite them a bit, they don't have any skills to catch us."

"Take it slow, take it slow!"

"Look at the ad! Look at the ad!"

The expressions of the viewers in the live stream gradually became exaggerated, and some professional players who were lurking in the room also gradually entered a state of questioning their existence.

A comment flashed by, perfectly summarizing everyone's thoughts at that moment.

[Wait, are we really playing the same game?]

JM, what kind of LOL team have you created?!

[My understanding of basic skills is: last hitting, last hitting, and more last hitting, but you didn't tell me that NXG's players even have to memorize the cooldowns of the opponent's summoner spells and even minor skills.]

This is the gap between us and professional teams... Clear information, decisive decision-making, and everyone seems to know exactly what to do next.

[Upstairs, don't get me wrong, currently only NXG has this level of expertise!]

[I can testify that I watched a match between WE and IG in person before. I was sitting in the front row and could hear their conversations. It seemed like all they talked about was killing and targeting someone, like a marketplace...]

From a god-like perspective, NXG's support player is incredibly strong. He's completely overturned my understanding of support players. He can process each message and relay it to his teammates in just three or four seconds at most.

[I suddenly feel like playing support! The feeling of commanding and controlling the entire game is so satisfying!]

[To the person upstairs, you first need teammates like NXG who cooperate so well.]

[Speaking of which, JM probably wanted to show us the key to the NXG's powerful collaborative capabilities.]

Indeed... if the communication is this clear and explicit, then it's understandable why NXG has such beautiful team fights.

[Purple team random player: No way, what grudge could there be to go all out and bully people like this?]

Meanwhile, outside NXG's live stream, the professional esports team that had been listening to the NXG players' conversation fell silent.

Is this the difference between us and NXG...? Behind the exaggerated teamwork lies unparalleled communication skills.

Every instruction and every piece of information was delivered perfectly. While there wasn't the slightest lag or delay, the players in each position received timely feedback immediately, and the players receiving the feedback could react instantly. The speed of information flow within the team was simply indescribable.

How to learn this?
The exchange of various hero data on the field is clear and precise, including hero skill times, dragon respawn times, and even the respawn times of ordinary jungle monsters.

No wonder NXG's jungler always manages to outfarm jungle monsters by a significant margin in every game; it turns out he's been stealing them all from the enemy's jungle monsters.

If the above content can be copied and imitated using the Sharingan's copy technique, then the commander's judgment of the situation and the almost unconditional execution by others are simply impossible to copy.

Just as the audience was shocked, the professional teams were questioning their existence, and the game was coming to an end, Jiang Ming's microphone was turned on again in his live stream.

In the Ionia queue, the overall skill gap between the NXG players and the random players meant that the match lasted only a dozen minutes, providing just the right amount of entertainment for the audience.

"I wonder if you all have a deeper understanding of the point I made in the previous video about how game communication can greatly affect the win rate?"

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, the comments section immediately filled with messages.

【I've got it! I've got it!】

[Waaah, Mom, I want to learn too, but the problem is he doesn't communicate in random games.]

[Exchange ideas? Come join us on the Zuan Grand Stage if you dare!]

"Ahem, actually there is a significant difference in the communication needs between casual games and professional teams. In regular ranked games, as long as everyone communicates more, exchanges key skill information about the opponent in a timely manner, and explains in advance what to do, there will be a great improvement."

Aside from being entertaining, the core message of the audio recording wasn't intended for the average viewer, but rather for LPL teams or those still competing in city leagues or even cup tournaments.

Jiang Ming's reason for contributing the team's tactical ideas is quite simple. The OGN region next door already has a super strong and systematic e-sports environment. With his own disruption in this life, if they defeat them in S3, then the training groups of the major clubs under them will probably go all out to copy NXG's gameplay in advance.

Given the nature of his own region's teams, if he didn't take the initiative to push them forward, he could easily imagine what the later seasons would look like.

Of course, Jiang Ming is not a saint. Under the premise of generally promoting the development of the region, he can create a poverty alleviation plan, send some players to other regions, and actively and appropriately release some tactical ideas that can be replicated with experience and time to study, to help LPL teams achieve a certain evolution. As for being a babysitter and making selfless contributions, forget about it.

In esports, the winner takes all!

He's only trying to ensure the pie is big enough so that after perfecting the industry, there will be a steady stream of capital willing to enter the circle and play together. But that doesn't mean he's willing to share the biggest slice of the pie with others.

"Team communication is actually just like fighting a war. It's fine for everyone to chatter and exchange opinions normally, but once the gunfire starts in a team battle, it's best to have a unified opinion."

[Understood. When the whole regiment opens fire, everyone has to listen to me—Li (doge)]

Just as the 12 TV series "Bright Sword" was airing, viewers in the live stream immediately understood the joke Jiang Ming was referring to.

"Let's get down to business!"

After the match ended and the audience and players had a brief exchange, Jiang Ming opened the replay of the match to avoid losing viewers and to support the LPL team's poverty alleviation plan.

At the same time, he didn't forget to remind viewers: "New viewers, remember to click the All-Star voting link on the right to vote for me. All kinds of products are also selling like hotcakes in the NXG team's online store...!"

(The confused little guy who's into Musou gave away an excavator.)
"Alright, Ming, hurry up and get to the point, stop padding the runtime!"

"Cough cough!"

"Alright, alright, thank you for the excavator, Comrade Little Confused. Our commercial break is over."

Jiang Ming shifted the camera to the top lane where his jungler, Lee Sin, was playing at the start of the game. "How about we start with vision control?"

Amidst a barrage of "good" and "nice" comments, the young man eloquently recounted some basic knowledge that had been thoroughly explained by various tutorial video creators in later generations.

"I won't go into the importance of vision; new players can watch the sixth episode of JM's basic tutorial."

"Today we're going to talk about what effective field of view and ineffective field of view are."

With the mouse pointed at the purple team's F4, the player said, "Look at this spot, everyone. At the start of the game, because Lee Sin has his W skill in the early game, jungling isn't too difficult. After buying the jungle item, there's still enough gold to buy vision. So our NXG support player asked Lee Sin to place the ward at this location on F4 before starting the jungle."

Why are you here?

Jiang Ming ignored the comments and answered his own question: "Everyone, just think about it in your minds. If the enemy jungler starts in the top half of the map, or starts from the bottom half of the map and comes to attack the F4 camp without prior notice, wouldn't they be directly exposed to your vision?"

"We call this effective vision. On the contrary, even if a mid-laner buys wards, they will only place them in the bushes on the left and right sides. In the early game, not to mention that they are already at risk of being ganked when they can see the jungler's position, the wards on both sides of the mid lane do not fully play their value of a few dozen gold in terms of providing team information. We call them ineffective vision."

"So, does it have to be inserted in this position permanently?"

"Actually, you don't need to. You just need to aim at the river bush a little ahead and land at the intersection of the enemy's red buff area and the river. This will block a large part of the enemy's vision. The same applies to the top and bottom. Follow my mouse and see if you can block a huge area of ​​the enemy jungler's vision by landing a little deeper in these two positions."

"Of course, you also have to pay attention to the position. Because of the fog of war, even if the eyes are only placed a dozen or twenty yards away, the effect will be very different."

[I've learned something! No wonder I said NXG always wards in matches; they can always pinpoint the opponent's location, while the opposing team is practically blind, and their jungler can barely gank anyone.]

[This is roughly the meaning of "snowballing." In the early game, by obtaining information about your jungler, I can gain an advantage in tempo. Once I have an advantage, I can put pressure on your lane, allowing your laners to place wards further inland. Unless the jungler immediately attacks with 400 gold, the probability of failing to gain any advantage is higher.]

(This high-level game gifted the streamer an excavator!)
"Hurry up, I want more!"

(Windmill gifted the streamer 100 health potions!)

"There must be more, there must be more, waaaaah, I'll give you a gift, okay? Let's talk about online too. I'm so fed up with my old life, I always get ganked by the jungler."

(Remembering the Mortal World gifted the streamer an excavator)

[(Laughing and crying) Ugh, JM, stop posting guides that target junglers! As a main jungler, I feel this deep malice. Are we even supposed to play the game anymore?]

"In fact, there are many such real and fake wards. The field of vision you can see by moving each bush slightly to the left or right, or the probability of it being detected by the opponent, are all different."

"The essence of vision is to obtain information about the enemy. I've divided vision into three types: offensive, defensive, and special. However..."

Jiang Ming chuckled: "However, for the later content, you might as well go to the different live streams of NXG and communicate with the players. Learn about vision from the positions you like to play, and you'll improve much faster."

The tutorial on ward placement is rather basic and doesn't cover much. Instead of having one person explain it all, it's better to give the opportunity to the players. Although most players in Season 3 are poor and struggling to make ends meet, there are always one or two wealthy players willing to send gifts, which is extra income for these young players, separate from their salaries.

[Dog!]

[I'm reporting this; someone is engaging in false advertising!]

[Is that all? You promised a mysterious teaching session, and this is it?]

The chat was filled with complaints, but the players' desire to rank up outweighed everything else, and they still flocked to the live streams of five different NXG players.

"Top laner's defensive ward placement?"

"No problem, no problem, it's that simple."

Song Yuan gradually relaxed. As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. He may not be as good at live streaming as Ming Ge, but he can explain game skills. His daily training is ingrained in his bones.

"Take the most basic vision control of the river bushes for us top laners, for example. After finally deciding to buy a ward, where should we place it to maximize its benefits?"

"..."

"The jungler is being targeted?"

"Why do you guys think junglers are unplayable? They set up vision, but we can also bypass vision."

Shi Zhenyu described it in the calmest tone: "Sometimes having vision is more dangerous than not having vision. The safety range provided by vision is only so much. Imagine if I could avoid the opponent's defensive wards, wouldn't the success rate of a gank be higher?"

"You ask me how I can so easily bypass the opponent's line of sight..."

While reviewing the team's video replay, Xiao Shitou, seemingly without any instruction, suddenly raised his mouse. "That's because I have a good set of equipment."

"This Logitech G700S gaming mouse provides me with an unparalleled operating experience."

"This is Logitech's latest model this year. It's originally priced at 500 yuan, but you can buy it for only 499 yuan in our NXG live stream!"

Audience: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a!

NXG team members: !!!
　Hehehe, did anyone guess how the team's first live stream would be?
