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

Chapter 156 This glory will not be enjoyed by NXG alone!

"I think the expressions of the NXG players behind me are enough to tell how I feel right now."

Jiang Ming, of course, wouldn't let Han Paopao's reckless behavior go unpunished. As he picked up the microphone to speak, he subtly turned his body, cleverly directing the camera to focus on the team members behind him. They all wore bright smiles, laughing like complete idiots.

Yes, just by looking at them, you can truly feel their heartfelt happiness.

"This is NXG's first championship since its establishment, and my team and I are very happy about it."

"Of course, I am even happier to see the growth of the club's training team and the players. From their naivety when they first entered the LPL, to now each of them being able to stand on their own, they have always maintained a firm belief in the face of disadvantages, never giving up or backing down, and have turned the tide time and time again with their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent teamwork."

"At the same time, just as I said when we got seven consecutive wins in the LPL, NXG will not be satisfied with the current results. We will continue to improve and move forward. Right now, we have achieved the first stage of our goal."

【six! 】

[Immature? ???]

[What the hell? You call NXG, who swept through seven teams as soon as they entered the LPL, "inexperienced"?]

[Haha, I seriously suspect JM is showing off, but I have no proof.]

[At this point, everything seems normal, but when combined with NXG's terrifying track record, it becomes anything but normal.]

JM is a true man; he keeps his word.

When they defeated WE, their seven-game winning streak drew a lot of criticism, with many accusing NXG of boasting and engaging in marketing stunts. I wonder how embarrassed those people are now.

[This guy's act of being 13 is very smooth and sophisticated; I approve.]

[A family of integrity in esports, keeping its word. A seven-game winning streak and a perfect record are certainly just the beginning. (doge)]

[Am I the only one who noticed this word in JM's answer? They actually have a coaching staff?]

"Our second question is about your conversation with the players after the second game and before the draft phase of the third game. Besides the usual tactical arrangements, how did you help the five NXG players adjust their mindset for the final game?"

As soon as the host finished speaking, before Jiang Ming could even respond, Song Yuan behind him placed his left hand horizontally under his right elbow, striking a pose like a primary school student raising his hand to answer a question in class, looking quite comical.

"Oh? It seems our Norsha has a lot to say on this topic. I wonder if JM would be willing to give Norsha the chance to answer this question?"

Jiang Ming: ? ? ?
He couldn't understand how the guy who was terrified of interviews just a second ago suddenly had the courage to answer questions proactively.

Are you trying to stir things up?

However, the director behind the scenes would not refuse such an unexpected situation that could enhance the program's effect. He immediately reminded Bao Bao through the earpiece to hand the microphone to Song Yuan.

"Well, before the last game started, a few of us team members actually asked Ming about our confusion. We felt that whether it was joining NXG to become a real e-sports player, or sitting on the stage of the LPL Spring Finals to play the last game of the finals, it was all just a dream."

"Ming said..."

Song Yuan immediately repeated what Jiang Ming had said before the third BP session.

When the most classic line from Death, "Forget doubts, look ahead, keep moving forward! Never stop..." was broadcast throughout the venue and the entire live broadcast room through the sound equipment, Jiang Ming's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, as if ink could drip from it.

"Gulu!"

Standing beside the single man, Little Stone subtly tugged at Song Yuan's sleeve.

"Brother! Brother!! Stop talking, it's like you're trying to flatter someone but ending up hurting them."

The tall, strong young man had a broad smile on his face, full of admiration for his extraordinary wisdom, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

With his exceptional emotional intelligence, Xu Jing instantly understood his boss's facial expression: "Well, inspirational quotes can be very uplifting the first time they're told, but when a third party relays them, it's practically a guaranteed social disaster..."

To see the boss die on the championship stage, I have to say, Song, I respect you as a true man.

It's okay, it's just a matter of one stab. If it doesn't work out, we can be teammates again in eighteen years.

Fortunately, 2013 was still an era untouched by internet memes, and Song Yuan's retelling of the story resonated with the audience, adding to Jiang Mingduo's reputation as a philosophical master.

"Hearing these words is truly touching. They are not just words of encouragement, but also a spiritual inspiration."

"As a coach, providing strong psychological support to the players is like a shot in the arm, stimulating their fighting spirit and potential, enabling our players to perform even better on the field."

Bao Bao looked at him with admiration and then asked:

"The third question is, NXG has now won the first championship in the history of the LPL league with a perfect record, which is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement. It is no exaggeration to say that this is unprecedented and may never be repeated. I would like to ask what the club's plans and intentions are for the next season? In addition, what are your expectations for the team's performance in the subsequent competitions? Could you share them with us?"

Jiang Ming reviewed the words he would use to answer the question in his mind and said seriously, "First of all, NXG's undefeated record actually had a large element of luck. The LPL league and even the entire League of Legends are still in a nascent exploratory period. Many players and even professional teams still have a relatively superficial understanding of the game mechanics and tactics, which is why the LPL Spring Split has such a perfect record."

"For the rest of the season, my first task is to help the players adjust their mindset, avoid arrogance and impatience, continue to strengthen their training, and forget about their previous achievements to start afresh!"

"In terms of planning, we will also focus on cultivating new talent to keep the team active and competitive."

"Finally, I'd like to reiterate what I said in a previous interview: The Spring Split championship is just the beginning, not the end. Our current achievements are merely a stage victory. Today, NXG is indeed the strongest team in the LPL, but tomorrow, everything will start anew. From tomorrow onwards, NXG will embark on a brand new journey."

"In the Summer Split, whether it's teams from within the region or from outside, the strength of our opponents is constantly improving. Stagnation will only lead to our demise."

Jiang Ming's last words clearly caused quite a stir.

The reactions of the viewers in the live broadcast room were unclear, but a chorus of murmurs and discussions immediately arose from the audience, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

【! ! ! 】

What do you mean by luck playing a major role? I've never seen anyone in ranked games have such good luck that they win twenty-odd games in a row.

[Be modest, don't you understand? Didn't you see what JM said later? Winning the Spring Championship only means that NXG is the strongest in the region today, but starting tomorrow, they won't be.] [I feel like there's a subtext here. JM is saying, "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just saying that all LPL teams are weak." (doge)]

[Is NXG's perfect record not because they're too strong, but because the region is too weak?]

After Jiang Ming finished answering the question, the host turned his attention to the remaining people.

After receiving professional training from the club, the typical interview mishap involving internet-addicted teenagers using foul language or stammering did not occur.

Jiang Ming couldn't guarantee the success or achievements of the professional players who joined NXG, but he could ensure that he would do his best in teaching them knowledge and skills.

Without expecting to make these esports players, who left school at sixteen or seventeen, better, at least prevent them from going astray.

Unlike Jiang Ming's carefully considered answer, the NXG team members, while speaking in a more formal manner, delivered a more shocking revelation to the audience.

"The Fox and Vi lock combo? Hmm, that's definitely the tactic we've prepared for the Spring Finals."

"Actually, we didn't reveal much about the hero combinations. We focused more on studying the individual habits of PE players, as well as various vision control and rhythm points..."

"Was it a passive situation in the second game?"

"Actually, Ming had already discussed this with us before the match. We were very likely to be limited by the fifth-floor counter pick, but we had done targeted training beforehand. Besides, how can you rely entirely on a draft advantage to win a game..."

"Haha, don't praise our talent or anything. The newcomers in the club's youth academy are the ones with the most exaggerated talent."

"What do you think of the team's training time? If they don't work harder, they'll lose their starting position."

As the five members of the NXG team answered questions with serious expressions, one astonishing statement after another came from their mouths. People were shocked to discover that what JM said in the interview—that other LPL teams were still in the early stages of game exploration—was not entirely wrong.

While you're still studying minion wave vision and hero combinations, people are already discussing what color your underwear is.

The news of the LPL Spring Split champion's victory acted as a catalyst, causing the esports forums to become increasingly heated.

#Undefeated championship win, LPL's own legendary team!#
#Insane record, an undefeated champion, who can finally put an end to this formidable opponent!#
#Unveiling the NXG boss: How exactly did he build this invincible team?#
#Humble or arrogant? JM frankly admits that the region's competitiveness is too low, and other teams are still in the initial stages of exploring the game.#
#If they don't work harder, they'll lose their starting position. NXG's championship roster isn't even their strongest five players?#
#NXG youth academy, JM is further expanding its territory.#
The level of discussion from the outside world continued to rise, and the content of various trending posts gradually deviated from its original trajectory.

At first, everyone was repeating the shocking news that NXG had won the championship with a perfect record, but then the topic quickly shifted to Jiang Ming's evaluation of the other teams in the post-match interview.

Some people scoffed at Jiang Ming's remarks, believing that NXG's behavior was simply arrogant and conceited.

However, when these people calmed down, and thought that the team they supported was one of the teams that Jiang Ming had mentioned was in the exploratory stage and had been brutally defeated by NXG, they swallowed back the rebuttals that were on the tip of their tongues. Those fierce rebuttals ultimately remained only on the keyboard and were never actually sent out.

Many others, however, highly appreciated Jiang Ming's humble words during the interview. After all, NXG's terrifyingly brilliant record truly reflected their comprehensive tactical dominance over other teams.

At the same time, I admire Jiang Ming's attitude of not being arrogant in victory as a manager.

Just be a champion for one day!

This is truly someone stronger than you, yet even more competitive than you.

In addition, many investors who had already been paying attention to the LOL esports scene because of the All-Star event could no longer contain their excitement after seeing the impressive viewership of more than 3 million in mainland China and more than 6 million overseas for the LPL Spring Finals.

Those who had been hiding behind the scenes and paying close attention to the development of the e-sports industry, like sharks smelling blood, finally stopped hesitating and began to charge forward.

However, the above content did not affect Jiang Ming and the NXG team members who were still at the competition site.

Holding up his medal, he led his team to the front of the stage and asked the league's photographer to take a group photo.

Meanwhile, after obtaining permission from the management, Jiang Ming invited some team fans who remained at the scene to join in.

Waving enthusiastically to the fans below the stage, the young man's face beamed with a sincere smile as he shouted, "NXG's victory today wouldn't have been possible without everyone's continued support! Anyone who wants to celebrate with us, come on up!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's call, the fans were initially taken aback, their eyes flashing with surprise, before erupting into cheers.

Some of the bolder fans stood up first and ran quickly toward the stage, followed by the remaining dozen or so fans who all ran onto the stage, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

The glory of NXG's Spring Championship should not be enjoyed by one person alone.

Besides the people competing on the field, the lovely fans who have been silently supporting the team from the sidelines should also be included.

Of course, it's only because there aren't many people involved; otherwise, Jiang Ming wouldn't dare to do it this way.

The interactions weren't anything particularly strange; they mostly consisted of team members high-fiving and hugging their fans.

Fortunately, all five members remembered the club's rules and requirements, only hugging male fans and keeping a certain distance from female fans, simply posing for photos together.

Some of the fans grabbed the team members' shoulders, and one of the older guys seemed to have too much strength, causing Xu Jing to let out a wail.

"You're not a spy sent by the enemy, are you?!"

"Help! Someone's going to solo kill the AD carry offline!"

"Hahaha!"

As the flamboyant Xu Jing donned the mask of pain, the scene erupted in laughter and cheers, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

The photographer faithfully recorded this scene, and sighed inwardly:

I wonder how many people who left early will be unable to sleep after the final interactive segment was posted by players or the club's official Weibo account.

Who would have thought that JM and NXG clubs would prepare such a gift for their fans at the very end?

　There will be more tomorrow morning!
