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

Chapter 110 This is unfair!!!

After receiving systematic training from NXG, White Crescent made rapid progress.

Especially after clearly perceiving the fundamental gap between her own understanding of the game and JM's, which were on completely different levels, White Crescent showed a humble attitude, actively immersing herself in the game and striving to complete the various courses that Jiang Ming had carefully arranged, which were like heavenly books.

I never thought the college entrance exam would be this difficult...

In the mornings when there was no training, he would focus on reading various materials. In his spare time, he would imitate Jiang Ming's method to collect data on other teams, such as the WE team that his team would be facing on the weekend.

Speaking of which, his rank account from his time as a player played a very important role. Because he had been in the esports scene for a long time, he had most of the professional players' friends, so he could find out which heroes they liked to play in ranked games almost immediately.

At noon, White Crescent took the initiative to chat with Pang Ran, Song Yuan, and others, asking the team members for their understanding and opinions on the new version. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, nor did he think that having the status of a coach meant he could stand up and overpower the NXG team members. To be honest, in terms of game understanding, he was not as deep as the others.

White Crescent positions himself as JM's assistant, which is also the assistant coach of the NXG team.

We started with the complex data processing and information gathering, including the intelligence on the opponents that the team members needed. Although these things took a lot of time and the process was lengthy, we could always achieve results through hard work.

In other aspects, for now, just stay by the boss's side and learn diligently.

Having signed a non-compete agreement, Jiang Ming, who wasn't worried about someone running away as soon as they finished training, provided ample guidance.

Jiang Ming would meticulously explain the purpose of everything from the team's basic skills training, advanced special training, and individual player enhancement to the team's training match arrangements. After all, he would be handing over these repetitive tasks in the future, and it would be unacceptable if the head coach didn't understand.

The most challenging part for White Crescent was the most comprehensive training matches, because they involved pre-planned tactical strategies. The head coach was responsible for arranging specific training content, such as tactical drills, laning practice, and team fight simulations.

During training, it is also necessary to closely observe the team members' performance, promptly point out any problems they may have in terms of operation, awareness, and teamwork, and provide targeted guidance and suggestions.

Our little comrade is probably in this state;
Eyes: I understand!
Brain: I think I understand!
Hands: You're talking nonsense!
As a result, all he was left with was to urge the team members to practice according to the training plan and ensure the intensity and quality of the training.

"The issue is the level of effort put in by the five NXG players; it seems like I don't need to push them..."

The entire club, from top to bottom, was in a state of constant activity, and White Crescent always had a feeling that she might lose her job at any moment.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I recruited you to give you time to grow. During this period, you just need to observe and learn more, and do the tasks that a teaching assistant should do." After noticing White Crescent's hesitation, Jiang Ming had a talk with her that same day.

The core purpose of NXG's recruitment of coaches is to select and cultivate promising talents.

Does anyone really think that in today's League of Legends scene, just anyone is qualified to coach the NXG team that he has carefully trained?

Therefore, the white crescent moon, with its clear mind, no longer worried about being fired because it couldn't keep up with the level, and completely put itself in the position of a learner.

In the evening, after the training match, Jiang Ming led the team in a debriefing and analysis.

He then watched training match videos with his team, reviewing every key decision and action made during the matches, and analyzing the lessons learned from successes and the reasons for failures.

After the day ends and the team members have all gone to sleep, White Crescent will summarize what she has learned that day, review the completion of each task, and actively reflect on her shortcomings in understanding the game, recording them for future improvement.

"However, I don't think I'm stubborn. Why did JM repeatedly emphasize that I shouldn't be so inflexible?"

Inside the NXG employee dormitory, listening to Mo Ziye's snoring as he got out of bed, White Crescent Moon, lying on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Speaking of which, after joining the club, he and his roommate were like two parallel lines. He didn't know what the other was busy with every day, and he would come back every day looking very tired and fall asleep as soon as he got home.

Whether you like it or not, being young is great.

It was in this kind of life that time passed day by day, and NXG finally met their "biggest enemy" after entering the LPL.

WE!

……

"Good afternoon, everyone. This is the live broadcast of the 2013 League of Legends Pro League Spring Split."

The doll appeared in the shot; at that time, he had not yet gained weight, and his body looked particularly energetic in a suit.

Today, he is paired with commentator Xiaomi. Although she is a female commentator, Xiaomi's style is very down-to-earth, and she has an outstanding ability to engage the audience emotionally, which is comparable to many male commentators. She also has a certain understanding of the game.

"The upcoming match will be presented to us by WE and NXG. One side is a newly established professional team that has just started out, while the other side is a top team that won the first world championship in our region."

The baby just opens his mouth and says whatever comes to mind, regardless of whether he's a baby or not, only saying what WE fans want to hear.

Yes, both teams are indeed the international champions from last season. They are also new teams, but they have a slightly better record, with a six-game winning streak and ranking first.

However, Xiaomi, who was standing next to her, obviously didn't have the little tricks of the doll. She immediately started analyzing the situation of both sides, "However, after the first round of the competition, we can clearly see that NXG's form is relatively hotter. With six consecutive wins, they have reached the top of the standings and are currently undefeated in the league."

"Comparatively speaking, WE's situation is somewhat unfavorable. The new season's version favors the mid and top positions, greatly limiting the ability of the bottom laner, WeiXiao, to carry the game."

With Jiang Ming setting a good example, and the LPL hosts being influenced by him, they are perfectly capable of discussing the current S3 version, if not having a thorough understanding, and just to satisfy the viewers watching the game.

Anyone with eyes can see the situation WE is currently facing.

In the assassin meta, the mid laner's laning ability is insufficient, and the mid and jungle are often at a disadvantage from the start. Top laner Strawberry is also struggling to protect himself, and the game often ends up in a situation where they wait for Smile to get his three items.

Even if it's not a top-mid version, the problem of slow ADC development is an objective reality. Now, with the added pressure from other lanes, the situation often doesn't even wait for WeiXiao to come out of retirement before WE's formation collapses completely.

The most crucial point is that other teams learned how to beat WE from Jiang Ming's NXG.

Aren't you good at the bottom lane?

Then I'll just choose to let the bot lane fend for itself, pick a carry who can survive in the bot lane, focus on the top, mid, and jungle in the early game, and even bring the support along. After clearing out the other lanes, I'll then support the bot lane.

Even if WE's jungler is awesome and helps WeiXiao get a couple of kills, let me ask you, is an ADC with two kills in fifteen minutes more powerful than my top laner with one kill and zero in the middle lane?

The answer is obvious.

Other LPL teams discovered an advantage of this strategy: with a strong top, mid, and jungle in the early game, contesting dragons becomes much easier. With 190 gold in team gold, this positive cycle allows them to fully recover any losses in the early game from their bot lane.

Furthermore, the bottom lane is in a long development phase in the early and mid-game. Whether or not resources are provided, the difference in the bottom lane's contribution to the team will not be significant. On the other hand, after focusing on the top and mid lanes, professional teams have found that this arrangement has significantly improved their combat strength.

Thus, apart from a few who feel they aren't getting enough resources and have a bad gaming experience, most AD carry players are happy with this arrangement. They've found that since resources aren't concentrated on them, the number of times they're targeted in team fights has decreased significantly. With two carries in front, they can focus on dealing damage without worry.

"We were blinded by WE's victory!" countless people exclaimed.

After everyone realized what was happening, WE, who had been quite dominant in the first half of the spring season in their previous life, suddenly suffered a heavy blow. Apart from LM, WOA, and Royal Club, who were at the bottom of the standings, WE couldn't beat any of the top four teams that played top, mid, and jungle. Even against Royal Club, who also liked to play the bottom lane, if Wu Wukai and Shenchao in the top lane performed well, they would also have to suffer the bitter taste of defeat.

Despite the commentators' analysis and the facts presented, WE's fans still couldn't understand it.

Are you analyzing yourself? WE only had one or two bad games, but you're making it sound like the situation is dire!

[Did they take money from JM? Why are they getting desperate now that they can't beat us in the All-Star voting?]

[WE will win! WeiXiao's bot lane is invincible!]

[Since when can a champion team be trampled on by a team that's just built up through marketing? Strawberry and Ruofeng, crush them!]

[Strawberry Wind: Sister, you overestimate me.]

[Haha, WE fans are getting anxious, they're really getting worked up.]

[It would be a success if the mid laner didn't get solo killed in today's match, okay?]

[Mid laner not getting solo-killed? (doge) WE fan: If I were a god, I'd definitely get a solo kill, okay?]

[What do you mean you can't beat them in the All-Star vote? Look at JM's vote count, he's almost 100,000 votes ahead of your mid laner. You're only bullying the other four NXG guys because they haven't been playing for long and don't have many fans yet.]

[Smiling is invincible in the bot lane? When we played against Royal Club, I don't know whose Kog'Maw got poked by Fizz and had to buy a Giant's Belt first. No wonder he's the developer of our Legion Commander Ezreal.]

Here's a joke: Those with three bars and three digits look down on those with six bars and zero.

【Hey, what are you guys saying? We just want to see all five WE players play; results don't matter!】

[This is outrageous! People are even saying that results in competitive sports don't matter.]

It can only be said that the League of Legends community has suffered for WE fans for a long time. Perhaps most of them do not hate WE, and many of them even cheered passionately for WE's victory in IPL5. However, faced with this increasingly obsessed group of fans, both casual players and fans of other teams are extremely dissatisfied with this situation.

With JM and NXG leading the charge, there's a growing possibility of them overwhelming these irrational extreme fans, so of course they'll have to lend a hand.

Unaware that he had already made it onto the WE fans' list of targets for criticism, Xiaomi continued talking to himself: "NXG has made another new adjustment for this match. NXG-JM will start as the mid-laner, and NXG has also added a coach, whose ID is BSYY..."

As the two players walked out of the tunnel, the audience below cheered.

"Ah!" "WE!"

"Smile, you're so handsome."

"Strawberry, I want to have your babies."

"NXG!" "NXG!" "NXG!"

Unlike the chaotic shouting of WE's female fans, the organized and disciplined NXG fans, led by Jiao Yang, the team leader, simply chanted their team name, completely suppressing the opposing team's noise.

Seeing the extra person added to the queue, and Jiang Ming and the rest of NXG appearing in their team uniforms instead of suits, many fans were pleasantly surprised.

That's right. While the head coach's warm-up routine was certainly entertaining and full of highlights, the absence of a player in the mid-lane position always made the overall lineup feel less coordinated and something was missing.

"This is not fair!"

“NXG is fighting seven against six, we protest.”

The cheers for the players had barely subsided when several sharp sounds came from the audience.

"NXG has two coaches, isn't that against the rules?"

"Disqualify them from the competition."

Unfortunately, the equipment the director had just turned on to record the cheers of the live audience was still running.

The psychedelic comments from WE fans were transmitted through the live stream.

【ha? 】

Is it unfair to have seven against five?

[No way, where did these seven people come from? Are WE fans on a diet of idiots?!]

[No way, this is hilarious! If you're so capable, why don't you let Ruofeng participate in the drafting and banning process too?]

Without mentioning what's happening off the field.

Once seated, the NXG team quickly connected and tested their keyboards, mice, and peripherals with the competition's computer.

"Oh, didn't the organizers think about upgrading the equipment? The refresh rate is so low."

Because Logitech, their big sponsor, helped the club upgrade a batch of computers, Song Yuan and others, who were used to the amazing experience of the club's computers, were full of resentment.

"Didn't I remind you before that you should lower the computer's settings during training to match the computer used in the competition?"

Jiang Ming glanced at the two complaining young men beside him, and at the same time put the captain's armband on his left arm.

Last time, because they were transitioning from coach's suit mode to player's uniform mode, the captain's armband couldn't be completed. Now that Xiaobai is acting as a guest coach, they can finally be considered to be in their complete form.

White Crescent's appearance on stage wasn't meant for him to participate in the draft phase right now. His task was relatively simple: to provide some data on the opponents' heroes so he could continue learning and improving himself.

"Hehe, mainly because after the performance improvement, I feel that my operation has become much better."

"Me too, Ming-ge, we won't do it again."

Faced with the leader's death stare, the group immediately knelt down and admitted their mistakes.
