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

Chapter 108 is finished, and I can't even understand the title!
Most of the boys focused their attention on the beverage section, their eyes darting between the various sodas and juices, calculating which was the best deal;
Meanwhile, the girls lingered in front of the dazzling array of snack shelves, carefully selecting their favorite potato chips, candies, and pastries.

Whether male or female, everyone who walks out of the "JM Food Time" shop is carrying large bags and small bags, with a satisfied smile on their face, as if they have gained a lot of happiness.

Some passersby, even those who were not initially interested in the newly opened "JM Food Time" store, couldn't help but follow the crowd and enter the store to find out more when they saw so many energetic college students coming and going in a lively scene.

After all, there's a saying in society: college students may not have big wallets, but they have a keen eye and a real knack for finding cheap and good things. You can't go wrong by following their choices!

Jiang Ming's snack shop "Shi Ke" has become a hit.

Or rather, its popularity was inevitable. With Jiang Ming's own fan base among young people as a foundation for early publicity, coupled with high-quality and affordable drinks and snacks, it perfectly captured the pain point of college students who were financially strapped but couldn't control their appetites.

After all, you'll eventually have to spend the money at the school store or something similar, so why not spend it there?

As a result, many people bought so many things for their entire dorm, just to get the extra discounts on top of the opening sale.

In addition, the shop location provided by the school is in a central area with high foot traffic. With people coming and going, some people will inevitably be attracted by the eye-catching sign of "JM Food Time".

In terms of interior design, Jiang Ming drew inspiration from the successful experiences of snack chain brands in later generations. From the logo to the store name and the shelves inside the store, the layout was uniformly decorated in warm orange and yellow to create a cozy and youthful atmosphere.

Older people might not quite grasp the key points, but when it comes to attracting the attention of young people, it's a surefire hit.

Since snacks and drinks are mostly targeted at young people, Jiang Ming isn't worried about losing some older customers because of it.

To be precise, it's just losing out on the middle segment. Older people may not be potential consumers themselves, but you can't stop them from having younger relatives to take care of.

A simple "Grandpa, Grandma, I want to buy that! It's very cheap here!"

Oh ho, instantly kill everything.

……

"I want a bottle of mineral water."

"Thank you for your patronage. Here is your change, 1.5 yuan."

In 13, mobile payment had not yet been fully rolled out, and WeChat red envelopes would not be known to more ordinary people until next year. Therefore, cash payments were still mainly made with paper money in stores.

The two female college students didn't express any surprise that the other person was only buying a bottle of Wahaha mineral water while there was a long queue. "JM Food Time" is essentially a physical retail store, so it's perfectly normal for customers to just come in and buy a drink.

After carefully placing the 50-cent change into his bag with his right hand, the young man stood rooted to the spot, not in a hurry to move.

A hint of embarrassment flickered across his face. He lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to ask, "Excuse me, could you please point out the exact location of the NXG club?"

"NXG Club?"

The cashier paused for a second, then realized that NXG was another "business" owned by her boss.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it at first. When you go out, turn right and go into the alley. Walk through the alley for about 500 meters, then turn left and take bus number 22 there. Get off at Qixia Station."

Perhaps sensing the young man's financial predicament, the cashier didn't just give him a perfunctory answer about where to get off in a taxi, but instead gave him a precise description of the bus route.

White Crescent repeatedly expressed its gratitude, "Thank you!"

Stepping out of the store, the young man opened the bottle, tilted his head back, and took two large gulps. He looked up at the warm sun hanging in the sky and sighed softly.

He didn't know whether applying to NXG was the right or wrong thing to do, especially since he was abandoning his status as a professional player to apply for a coaching position!

But he was tired. All the confidence and ambition he and his teammates had shown along the way vanished completely after Wayi's failure to enter the LPL league.

Should we continue playing in the City Championship for another season?
Forget it, others may be unreliable, but don't you know your own limits?

Not to mention that twenty-three years old is practically an age of death in the e-sports world.

It could also be said that his match against NXG in the qualifiers made him see the difference between a true professional team and a makeshift operation.

So when his last teammate chose to leave, he also left after the lease on the small house the club had rented for the matches expired.

Buzz!

Feeling the swaying of the moving bus beneath her, White Crescent looked out the window.

As for why he chose to approach his former rival and submit his resume for the job, to be honest, he didn't know.

Perhaps it's a fondness for this stage, or perhaps it's simply a desire to find a job.

Who knows.

"We've arrived at Qixia Station!"

……

"Name!"

"Luo Sheng!"

"age!"

"23!"

Do you have experience working in the esports field or related gaming teams?

"Yes, I switched from Warcraft III solo to Dota for 6 years, and then won the national championship of Dynasty Warriors Online in 2007. In 2011, I joined the NGG team and started my LOL competitive career. My ID is BSYY!"

As Chen Muxin made this note, she suddenly looked up. After becoming the team leader, she had reviewed the recordings of the team's previous matches and seemed to vaguely remember the ID BSYY.

"Were you a member of the Wayi Spider team before?"

"Uh, yes, we played against NXG in the qualifying rounds." White Crescent's expression was slightly unnatural.

There's a certain feeling that I'm about to be taken care of by my former nemesis.

"Any questions?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually." Chen Muxin smiled and took out two A3 sheets of paper from her briefcase. "This is your assessment paper. You have two hours to answer the questions."

"It is divided into two volumes, A and B. Volume A tests basic knowledge, and Volume B tests advanced skills."

"Follow me." Chen Muxin gestured for the other person to follow.

The two quickly arrived at a newly expanded two-story house on the right side of the club. On the first floor, there was a room that looked like a reception room and had been recently renovated. Several tables were set up. As soon as White Crescent entered the room, someone stood up.

"Team Leader Chen, I've finished answering."

"Okay, the club cafeteria is serving lunch today. You can have a quick meal before you leave. You should be able to come out by evening at the latest. Someone will call you then, so please keep your phone accessible."

NXG Executive Coach Recruitment Exam Paper

White Crescent casually found a table to sit down, opened the test paper, and prepared to start answering the questions.

"Cough cough..." However, after only scanning the first page of test questions, White Crescent coughed twice in a row, feeling a bit annoyed.

Holding the exam paper in both hands, I entered a state of contemplation about life, and a big question mark suddenly rose above my head.

"What on earth is JM thinking?"

"Does a League of Legends coach need to know these things?"

Oh no, I don't even understand the question. What should I do?

……

Material analysis question!!

Question 1:

Blue side: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Ahri, Bot lane Ezreal + Zyra

Purple team: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Nocturne, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Caitlyn + Janna!

Question: (a) If you were the coach of the blue team, after selecting this lineup, how would you arrange tactics and strategies for your players (early game, mid game, late game, overall strategy, etc.)?
(ii) If you were the coach of the purple team, after selecting this lineup, how would you arrange tactics and strategies for your players (early game, mid game, late game, overall strategy, etc.)?
(III) Around the 20-minute mark of the game, under normal development conditions, what will happen to the team compositions of both sides? (Please make a preliminary estimate and analyze the possible situations that may occur in the early game for both sides.)
(iv) Suppose your team members have objections to your tactical arrangements and post-match analysis, how would you handle it? In the context of the game, how would you persuade them?
Gulu!

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his white crescent-shaped forehead; he found himself unable to put pen to paper.

After watching the LPL matches, he was well aware that NXG's strength was closely related to JM as their coach, but he didn't expect the team to achieve this level of success.

Ah, isn't the lineup determined by what the players want to play?
Also, what's with the lineup selection, the tactics and strategies for the early, mid, and late game, and the overall strategy?!

In a game, nothing can be predicted every second. Now you want me to predict what will happen in twenty minutes?

Furthermore, the players disagreed with the coach's tactical arrangements and post-match analysis... Speaking of which, among the few teams I know that have a coach, the coach usually just orders takeout, and it's a miracle if they even listen to the coach's instructions.

Let's move on to the next question and move on to the first one.

Question 2:
Blue side: Top lane Zac, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Gragas, Bot lane Graves + Taric.

Purple team: Jayce (top), Evelynn (jungle), Kha'Zix (mid), Corki and Janna (bot).

(Summoner spells are 5 Flash spells plus Teleport, Smite, Ghost, Heal, and Exhaust.) Assuming the 10 players are evenly matched, please answer the following questions.

(1) Please briefly describe the strengths and weaknesses of each team's lineup, and what is the purpose of this hero lineup?
(2) From the perspective of the blue side, briefly describe the counter relationship between each position, who will have the initiative, and what impact this will have on the jungler.
(3) Based on the brief descriptions of questions 1 and 2, briefly describe which lane the blue team's jungler should help more and the reasons.
(4) If the game has been going on for 20 minutes and both teams have maintained average development, and they are locked in a stalemate over a dragon, state your personal operational ideas and reasons.

(5) Analyze the current version and the mainstream, and then say whether this version is beneficial or detrimental to NXG, and what impact it will have, etc.

White crescent moon: ...

"Next question!"

"Next question!"

As she scrolled from the top of the page to the bottom, White Crescent felt her desire to give up on answering the questions growing stronger.

The cold sweat on his forehead became increasingly dense.

Torment!

Ultimate torture.

I couldn't understand the question setter's thinking at all. It felt like he knew every single word, but when asked to put them together, he had no idea where to begin.

It seems that my understanding of LOL and JM's understanding are completely different games.

After countless questions, the white crescent moon finally appeared at the bottom.

Open-ended question:

(1) If you were a coach of a team, how would you arrange the team’s daily training and the work that needs to be done? Please write down the team’s daily training process and work process.

(2) When a team member's condition becomes abnormal, what methods would you take to help them?

(3) When the version changes, what measures will you take to help players adapt as quickly as possible?

Wait...wait a minute?
Open-ended question?

White Crescent finally realized something was wrong and quickly flipped the second test paper in her hand to the top.

The top of the exam paper clearly marked "Version A".

"Pfft... So I was looking at Volume B the whole time."

During the communication with the NXG team leader, they mentioned the differences between the two test papers, A and B. Considering the difficulty of the questions, paper B only accounts for 30% of the score, while paper A accounts for 60%.

The remaining 10% of the score is from additional assessments of certain supplementary items.

This includes rank verification, tournament experience, and language communication skills.

In summary, the final score = score of each section × weight + bonus points!

After spending a long time treating the advanced level as a basic level, White Crescent felt her heart begin to beat more normally again, almost giving up.

"I've wasted a lot of time. I'd better hurry up and finish the basics. I'll try to get as many points as I can on the B paper."

[Basic Knowledge Questions]

1. In League of Legends, when does the dragon first spawn?
A. 1 minute 30 seconds B. 2 minutes
C. 2 minutes 30 seconds D. 3 minutes
"That's right, these are the kinds of questions a normal person would ask. League of Legends should prioritize testing basic knowledge."

In the multiple-choice section, the white crescent moon moved swiftly.

After all, as a veteran player who almost made it into the LPL and reached the King rank, he was usually responsible for formulating team tactics, so these basic league knowledge were nothing to him.

However, before the young man could maintain his good mood for long, as he progressed through the A paper, his speed in answering the questions gradually slowed down, and he even showed a tendency to stop writing again.

12. Which of the following top lane heroes has relatively weak split-pushing ability in the late game?
A. Jax, the Weapon Master B. Tryndamere, the Barbarian King
C. Garen, the Might of Demacia D. Fiora, the Grand Duelist

13. The active effect of equipping Youmuu's Ghostblade grants the hero ( ), lasting ( ) seconds.

14. How do the attack power, attack speed, armor, and magic resistance values ​​of defensive towers change at different stages in the game?
15. In the game, how much gold do different targets provide, such as minions, jungle monsters, turrets, and dragons? How much do last-hitting and missing minions affect the gold?

16. Which defensive items are suitable for top lane tank heroes when facing an enemy physical damage-dealing lineup? Explain the effects of these items' attributes and passive effects on tank heroes.

……

20. What are some common vision placement locations? What are the key considerations for vision placement in the early, mid, and late game?
White Crescent Moon: Hehe!
You call this basic League of Legends knowledge, right?

　The questions in the material section referenced the coach selection test of the Snake Esports team in China after S6. Lao Qing changed the lineup and version requirements. You can try to solve them!
