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

Chapter 136 The Ultimate Level of Pretending to Be Cool! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

It's not entirely accurate to say that he taught several team members how to use the "flash" skill.

Since Jiang Ming first used Gragas' E-Flash in ranked and professional matches, professional players and casual players have started to try various combinations of skills and Flash.

It is foreseeable that with the in-depth development of hero mechanics and the continuous iteration of skill research, advanced operations such as Lee Sin's R-flash and Jarvan IV's EQ-flash may become routine operations for most players in the future.

Currently, due to insufficient hero development, some techniques produce amazing effects when they are first introduced. In reality, some of these techniques may have already been unintentionally triggered by players in actual combat, but they have not been widely popularized due to limitations in dissemination channels.

Jiang Ming's role was mostly limited to reminding and guiding, and he "accidentally" used it in training matches to encourage several players to try more things.

As for the problem that teaching a few operations would lead to the loss of his advantage over NXG, Jiang Ming was not too worried.

The reason NXG was able to succeed was not because of the individual skills and mechanics of its players from the beginning.

How many strange players have there been in the LPL since then? And what was the final result?

The true strength of a mature esports club lies in its excellent management, strong youth training system, and outstanding coaching team.

As long as a team has the ability to continuously adapt to new versions and bring in fresh talent, it will never fall out of the top tier.

Compared to other teams in the LPL or even other regions, he is already far ahead. If he doesn't even have the confidence to maintain his lead, he might as well take his money and go home to build a pig farm.

……

"Nice!"

"Great teamwork, guys."

To avoid becoming withdrawn and to avoid the pressure of playing in the top lane, PDD, thanks to Jiang Ming's advice, actively participated in the team's information feedback.

Seeing the continuous blooming of flowers in the middle and lower reaches, I took the initiative to become part of the atmosphere-building team.

Besides, since he's already chosen Rambo, Lao Jiang won't make the same mistake as the royal family by letting him go unchecked.

Why let the bot lane give up kills to the mid laner? Isn't it just to allow the mid and jungle to achieve an economic advantage and ensure a lead in the pace of GPL?

After killing someone in the bottom lane, Jiang Ming returned to the fountain to replenish his supplies. With one kill, one assist, and some minions, plus the gold that automatically increased over time, he already had about 700 gold. However, Jiang Ming was not in a hurry to go all in and buy two longswords.

A long sword and a pair of straw sandals—that's the equipment a proper mid-laner should have.

That's right, I'm specifically calling out those Earthbound Spirit mid-laners who take kills but do nothing.

If you put a minion in the mid lane, will it breed?

Learn the most basic lane management; once the mid and jungle duo dive into the jungle, there will be plenty of opportunities.

However, once back online, before Jiang Ming could even make a move, GPL's Prince ganked mid lane.

It's unclear how long HarLeLuYar had been lurking, but just as Talon was about to go up for a last hit, Demacia Banner was used without vision and charged towards the mid lane.

To the astonishment of the NA and EU English commentators, Jiang Ming took a step back the instant the German flag landed, thus avoiding the knockback.

HarLeLuYar: "???"

"Brothers, how can he dodge my knock-up when he's in blind?

"I don't understand."

"I didn't dare to make the first move, for fear of alerting them." Toyz also shook his head.

The commentators were surprised, and the audience's reaction was even more exaggerated.

However, Jiang Ming, who dodged the Prince's blind EQ combo from the LPL player bench, had a mediocre reaction.

It's not that his reaction speed was superhuman; dodging the knock-up was partly due to his reaction, but more so because he had made certain mental preparations before reaching the mid lane.

League of Legends is a turn-based game!
Yes, you heard right, League of Legends is a genuine turn-based game.

Heroes have limited skill sets, and various summoner spells and ultimate abilities have extremely long cooldowns. This means that after you launch an attack using a summoner spell or ultimate, your opponent will have a skill advantage over you for a period of time afterward.

This is when the opponent begins their offensive phase. You need to defend as well as possible and be careful of their attacks!
In the original timeline, many LPL teams were heavily criticized by players for their poor discipline. Often, they relied on wishful thinking, choosing late-game compositions and believing their skills were good enough to make a splash. As a result, they would engage in fights when the opponent had a skill advantage, leading to an instant collapse of the game.

Obviously, compared to the bot lane with two crowd control abilities, Talon, who doesn't have Flash, is more likely to be caught out.

If you get knocked up by the prince and hit by Orianna's QW combo, even if you don't die, you'll have to go back to base to replenish your supplies, resulting in a loss of experience. In the early game, it's practically the same as getting a solo kill.

Instead of using W [Eliminate the Weeds] immediately, he moved forward and used a basic attack to see if he could trick someone into revealing a valuable item.

Now that they've succeeded in deceiving him, it's equivalent to the prince wasting an attack turn.

So……

My turn—Draw a card!
Prince appeared in the mid lane, and Mingkai was not idle either. After Lee Sin, who had the first blood, upgraded his equipment, he didn't even clear the jungle monsters and quickly came to the top lane to help Rumble kick.

GPL's top laner Renekton dared not make any counter-attack moves.

Because when the LPL team takes action, they usually don't just send one person.

For example, right now, the moment Lee Sin made his move, Talon in the mid lane had already disappeared. If he stayed for even a second longer, his life would be in danger.

"We saw that Stanley was very decisive, immediately using Flash to create distance from Lee Sin."

"Flash is a must. JM Talon has already reached the Baron pit. With the movement speed bonus from Boots of Speed, he will arrive at the battlefield very quickly."

With his Flash ability providing sustain, Stanley is clearly a competent utility top laner.

There are actually many players in the professional scene who like to conserve their Flash, only to realize something is wrong when they are pushed to their limit, and end up losing as much as possible, including their Flash.

It's not fair to blame these people for being greedy. In professional matches, players often need to be a little greedy, greedy for development, and greedy for skills.

Having an extra set of minions means you might be able to combine key equipment earlier in crucial team fights; having an extra skill means you have an extra chance to turn the tide of battle.

After all, if you always give in, then in the eyes of the audience, you'll be seen as a coward.

Therefore, how to strike this balance is also a standard for measuring the strength of a team and its players.

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds, the mid-lane Talon is about to reach level 6.

Toyz played Orianna very cautiously, never giving Jiang Ming enough distance to use his E to engage, but this gave Talon control of the minion wave.

With the presence of level 3 W, the mid lane can be pushed very quickly.

"Should we cross over?"

Seeing the mid-lane minion wave about to reach the tower, Mingkai asked.

His Lee Sin consumed a lot of his teammates' resources, and even refused to give the second blue buff to Talon. Now he's only one jungle camp away from reaching level six.

"It's up to you. If you can kick it out, you can cross it," Jiang Ming teased.

He certainly wouldn't wait for OGN's Insec to use the eye-touch spinning kick technique at the All-Star event first.

What is the ultimate skill for showing off?
You think your skills in showing off are unique, that you can turn the tide and save the world?

The real trick to showing off is to lead your well-trained teammates to a brutal victory, then subtly reveal, "Oh, so you were the one who taught all these tricks..."

If I had to describe that feeling in more detail, it would be like having an Evolution Trust in your hands and then performing a super cool transformation in front of your favorite person.

Finally, in front of Mingkai and Weixiao, these e-sports players, I have the role of imparting knowledge and answering questions. So, tell me, what is my seniority?
Which is more satisfying: the sense of accomplishment or the thrill of showing off?
Okay, answer me!
"Hehe, I think it's risky. With the factory's outrageous operations, it would be funny if they turned into a case of 'saving lives but being blind'."

In the top lane, after the crocodile was forced to use Flash, PDD chuckled as his life became easier again.

Neither Renekton nor Varus had Flash available, making both the top and bottom lanes potential targets from GPL's perspective.

Now, it remains to be seen what choice the prince will make.

Seeing the minion wave about to enter the tower, Toyz instinctively felt there was danger, but seeing his Flash ready again, Toyz felt that a level 5 Orianna under the tower could not possibly get hurt.

"Dude, I think you should pay more attention to the top lane. JM's teams are very good at ganking Rumble, so naturally they're also good at feeding Rumble." The prince listened to the mid laner's advice.

pat!

Just as the prince reached the top of the river, a sonic wave flew from the right side of the jungle and landed precisely on Orianna.

"Huh? They're not really trying to kill me, I have Flash!"

Before Toyz could think much, Mingkai on the right had already activated the second stage of his Q with his left hand.

The Lee Sin flew from the jungle towards the tower!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, not understanding why the LPL jungler would suddenly lose his temper and do something so risky.

However, in the next moment, all doubts vanished instantly.

Suddenly, the Blind Monk planted a ward behind Orianna in mid-air, and W forcibly changed the flight direction of Q.

The hero suddenly appeared behind Orianna, and even the turret seemed to freeze, because the Q skill was released outside of vision, and the Lee Sin who had interrupted the damage by kicking into the turret with the second part of his skill was not attacked immediately.

Gather your strength, kick, and you're in!
[Dragon's Tail Swing!]

"Ichiku!"

“We see that GPL’s Prince chose to go to the top lane to hold off the Renekton. Indeed, if the Renekton falls behind in the early game, then there will be one less point of support for team fights in the mid-game… Mingkai’s Lee Sin is leveling up so fast. He must have gained a lot of experience in lane. However, with Flash and Orianna under the tower, it will be difficult to gank in the mid lane.”

"It feels like it's better to just gank bot lane. Varus doesn't have Flash, so if Thresh can land a crowd control..."

Wawa and Miller each said a sentence, but Xiaolou interrupted their spellcasting, "The minion wave is pushing into the tower, Clearlove uses Sonic Wave, and hits with Q. JM's Talon is also pushing forward. Ah, they're really going to make a move."

"Second stage Q activated, fly in—what?!"

"It's out! Lee Sin kicked Orianna out with one kick!"

"what happened?"

On the LPL commentary stage, the incredulous voices of the three commentators echoed throughout the venue, while the audience remained completely silent.

Clearly, the audience hadn't yet recovered from what they had just seen.

Once a clockwork mechanism is kicked out, it has no choice but death.

The Throat-Slitting Battle

Silence is applied.

AQW, the blades generated by the R skill spread out in all directions.

Within a second, Jiang Ming completed all of Blade Shadow's combos.

Toyz used Flash at the last second.

However, the final bleed from Talon's Q skill made up for the last bit of damage.

CNLPL-JM killed GPL-Toyz.

In the F4 pit that the factory manager loves most, Orianna has turned into a corpse.

bass!
OGN region backstage lounge.

Just like the commentators and the audience, Insec was even more surprised when he saw Lee Sin build Q on the right side; he practically jumped up from the spot the moment he saw it!

His pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw the screen; he knew all too well what the blind monk was about to do next.

"This can't be, this can't be, I was definitely first..."

"I was the one who did it first."

He was like a game character whose pause button had been pressed, with only his Adam's apple bobbing violently and emitting a broken swallowing sound.

【? ? ? 】

【! ! ! 】

【666! 】

This is a promise, and you're telling me this is just a promise?

[Who are you, buddy? Get off Mingkai right now.]

What kind of move is this?! My God!

[A mid-air turn, W ward-hopping ultimate?]

[Director, replay! Give us the replay, I want to see the replay!!]

Instead of showing the replay as the audience had hoped, the director first turned the camera to the contestants' seats.

The two players in the mid and jungle positions of the LPL, who worked together to instantly kill Orianna, exchanged heavy blows with their right hands.

"Nice, that was a great play."

"Thank you," Mingkai said sincerely.

I am grateful to Jiang Ming for sharing his Lee Sin E-Flash and Ward Jump Kick techniques with me. I am also grateful that on the first day of the All-Star training camp, he scolded me and woke me up from my long-standing mental problems.

When exactly did it become necessary for a jungler to carefully consider ganking during a match?

When did he subconsciously start trying to maintain his KDA to avoid being targeted by the team's fans after the match?

All he knew was that Jiang Ming made a very valid point in his criticism.

If you're so clumsy at initiating team fights while jungling, why bother playing professionally? You might as well go home and raise pigs.

That day, in a ranked game, the words he used to criticize VG's mid laner were slapped right back in his own face.

fortunately!

Fortunately, I made it to the All-Star game, and I'm also fortunate to have a teammate like JM.

……

Thirty seconds later, the replay that players all over the world had been eagerly awaiting arrived.

In the video, Lee Sin, standing in the jungle to the right of the first tower, initiates with Sonic Wave.

The time spent waiting in place was actually not long; the next moment was to activate the second stage of Q and enter the tower.

"coming!"

Players watching this scene held their breath, not wanting to look away for even a second.

The ward on the Lee Sin, which had flown into the air, landed behind the target first, followed by the use of W, which forcibly interrupted the remaining movement of the Q skill.

Some players who frequently play Lee Sin have come to this realization.

Yes, before team fights, they often use W to interrupt and bait out the opponent's skills while using Q.

The principle isn't difficult, and many players immediately understood it after the replay was shown.

but--

It doesn't affect the shock that the Eye-Touch Roundhouse Kick brought to players all over the world when it was delivered.
