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

Chapter 201 LSPL Formation Discussion (Double Monthly Ticket Request)

A professional player's market value is influenced by multiple factors, including personal performance, past achievements, popularity, and even the popularity of the game itself.

Taking different sports as an example, football players are usually more valuable than table tennis players, while table tennis players generally receive more attention than players in badminton, track and field, and other sports.

In just a few years, League of Legends has successfully climbed to the top of the online game rankings. The sheer number of players speaks for itself. If Riot Games and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tencent want to further develop the esports ecosystem of League of Legends, then expanding the scale of professional tournaments is inevitable.

In the days to come, even if Jiang Ming doesn't have the memories of the original timeline and knows the development trajectory of the LOL esports scene, even if he doesn't, based on the existing information, he can make a certain prediction about the future and he will know that for a long time to come, good players in the LOL esports scene will definitely be in short supply.

Of the five positions—top, mid, jungle, AD carry, and support—mid lane is the most valuable, yet has the fewest available players.

The fact that the original LPL, with its three S-series champions, couldn't even field a single domestic mid-laner speaks volumes.

Of course, to be superstitious, perhaps it's true that the legendary Flying Emperor, that eternally domineering old man, severed the path to immortality for LPL mid laners...

That's why Jiang Ming set his sights on Ga Dewei.

As a domestic mid-laner, his talent is almost at the ceiling level. Even at the end of his career in LOL, he could easily beat ZuoShou, who was hailed as a rising star. Even after switching to PUBG, GaDeWei was able to thrive, which shows his strength.

There's another little story that proves just how terrifying Ga Dewei's talent really is.

Many League of Legends players know that Faker likes to switch screens frequently while playing games in order to obtain a lot of information about the game. His hand speed and brain information processing ability are nothing short of abnormal.

But few people know that Ga Dewei also has similar abilities.

Taking the mouse DPI data for playing LOL as an example, the normal user range is around 800-2000. Too low and the mouse will feel heavy, too high and it will drift, flying all over the place with the slightest movement. Even for some games that require high mouse sensitivity, very few people would set it to more than 3000.

However, Gawei can set his mouse sensitivity to 3200 and his in-game sensitivity to 95 when playing League of Legends...

A mouse sensitivity of 3200+95 means that for a normal person, even the slightest wrist movement will cause the mouse to fly all over the screen, making it almost impossible to find your mouse during team battles.

Therefore, getting Gaiwei into the team is a very good deal for the club.

VG, where Gadiwei currently plays, is not short of money because of Boss Ding. However, they haven't achieved much in the LOL scene. After losing at TGA this year, they will have to linger in the secondary league for the entire season. A proud player like Gadiwei will definitely want to improve himself, so VG can't keep him.

Of course, the most important reason is that Gadavi is currently cheap enough.

Before joining the LPL, any player from any of the three NXG teams would have been worth more than him, having only played in TGA.

As for his personality—judging from Ga Dewei's current performance, he really can't get arrogant.

After receiving professional training from NXG, any one of Qin Guangguang, Jiang Hong, Zhao Hao, Han Jun, or that Xiao Linzi who was preparing for the exam at home could easily beat him.

"Oh, right, and there's also a certain bar girl!"

As Jiang Ming typed the invitation on his computer, he suddenly slapped his forehead. If he remembered correctly, it was this summer that Lao Ze also joined VG Club to start his LPL journey, and he wouldn't transfer to WE.A until January next year.

All I can say is that Boss Ding is something else. He had a lot of potential players in the early days of the league, and in 16 he even got SKT's championship mid and jungle players. As a result, he was able to plummet to the secondary league. That's something else.

"We1less player:"

"Hello there!"

"We are the management team of the League of Legends division of NXG Esports Club."

"..."

……

VG Club.

Since losing the TGA semifinals, the once-hot atmosphere in the training room has plummeted to freezing point. A group of internet-addicted teenagers who are no longer competing have already packed their bags for vacation, while those who are contacting Taobao shops to take on freelance work have made arrangements in advance.

Very few people actually stayed to continue training.

pat!

Wei Zhen, who had just finished a ranked match, slammed his hand on the keyboard.

His face was filled with frustration.

"Imitation, imitation, can't you do anything else besides imitation?"

He learned his lesson.

He's not immune to losing ranked games, but lately in high-elo ranked matches, there's this one Crystal Maiden with a Rod of Ages and Zhonya's Hourglass build that keeps popping up in the mid lane every now and then, which really annoys him.

This hero is full of crowd control abilities. Not only can she clear lanes quickly, but she also has an extremely long-range dash. When facing assassins, she's like a tamer with a whip, hitting them every time. Ordinary assassins who run into Lissandra are like tigers biting turtles, having claws but nowhere to strike.

The culprit behind all of this is still that man named JM.

Whenever Riot Games releases a new champion, this person can always master the mechanics at an unbelievable speed and create tutorial videos overnight.

With Lissandra now being developed, she has immediately become a hot commodity for mid-jungle duos in high-elo games.

Players filling the mid lane role are using her to farm and survive, and even junglers are eyeing this hero:

Looking at the hundreds of champions in the League of Legends during Season 3, it's hard to find another mid-laner like Lissandra who has such a natural synergy with the jungler.

Unfortunately, he's been having really bad luck lately, getting matched with the "best buddies" mid-jungle duo for several games in a row: Lissandra with Lee Sin, Lissandra with Rengar, every game was a close "greeting" between the mid and jungle.

"Ding--"

"You have a new email! (NXG...)"

However, just as Ga Dewei stood up to get a drink from the refrigerator next to him, a notification sound for an email popped up in the lower right corner of his computer's QQ.

Spam?

He used to not even glance at these kinds of spam emails.

But the three letters "NXG" at the end of this email were like a signal flare that suddenly lit up, abruptly grabbing his attention.

NXG?

Why are they emailing me?

laugh!
With his right hand, Ga Dewei forcefully opened the Sprite can and took a big gulp.

He then leisurely sat back down in his chair and opened the email that had so excited him.

A League of Legends team sending an email to a League of Legends player is simply because of what he's thinking.

Sure enough, the moment he opened the email, the eye-catching title immediately cleared up his doubts.

"Trial invitation!"

"We1less, we've noticed your unique understanding of the game and exceptional individual skills in the TGA City Alliance Championship... a perfect fit for our club's talent selection criteria. We formally invite you to the NXG club for an offline trial to explore the infinite possibilities of professional esports together." "That's really professional!"

After reading the first paragraph, Ga Dewei scrolled down with his mouse and immediately saw some training and management details that were completely absent from his VG club.

Appendix 1: Trial Training Arrangement

【时间：2013年7月29日-2013年8月5日】

Location: NXG Esports Club Base, Qixia District, Nanjing City

[Contact Person: Mo Ziye, NXG Club Manager]

Contact number: 133XXXXXXXX

II. Trial Training Content

[1. Individual Ability Assessment: ① Hero Pool Test: Must be proficient in at least six heroes from different versions, including at least one less popular hero that can be used as a counter pick. ② Basic Skills and Laning Details Assessment: Last hitting, trading, anti-gank awareness, and support awareness. ③ Tactical Execution Ability: Complete specific tasks within a specified time according to the coach's requirements.]

2. Team Collaboration Training: ① 5V5 Training Matches... ② Post-Match Review... ③ Version Adaptability Testing

[3. Psychological assessment: ① Decision-making stability under high-pressure conditions, ② Communication efficiency and emotional control...]

It can only be said that you can tell if someone is an expert as soon as they make a move.

VG has done many of the training programs that NXG has done, but none of them have such a clear plan. They even tell you what qualities and abilities they want to assess when they send you the invitation.

How did I join the team before?

Oh right, he sat down and played two matches against other teams, and his record looked good, so he stayed.

The invitation letter included not only the specific details of the trial training, but also a reminder of the materials he needed to bring, such as a photocopy of his ID card and a recent passport-sized photo.

More importantly, the team will arrange all travel expenses, food and accommodation during the training period.

"Rich and arrogant!"

Upon seeing the follow-up instructions, in which NXG explicitly promised to cover the expenses during the training period, Ga Dewei had only one thought left in his mind.

Of course he knew that in today's LOL scene, thanks to the owner who brought his own traffic and attention, the NXG team had received a lot of sponsorships from businesses. Not only were they overwhelmed with business deals, but their club merchandise stores were like money-printing machines, earning six figures a month just from selling team jerseys and co-branded keyboards.

In addition, the prize money amassed by its three teams in just six months has left other teams, who rely on subsidies from internet cafe owners, far behind.

Short of money?

nonexistent!

Then the problem is coming.

Should I go, or not?

Ga Dewei stared at the swaying sycamore leaves outside the window, his hands unconsciously tapping the edge of the table as he pondered repeatedly.

Reason told him that people strive for higher positions and water flows downhill. Anyone with eyes could see just how powerful the NXG club is now, with its comprehensive training team, unique youth training system, and even its trial invitations that include all-inclusive accommodation and meals... Going there for a while, even if you leave halfway through, would be better than wasting two years of your time outside.

Admittedly, the club's good conditions and strong strength mean that the competition is also fierce, but he is not the kind of person who is afraid of competition.

His hesitant fist remained clenched on the loser's seat of the TGA semi-finals.

Having just been crushed by their opponents in the semifinals, they immediately pack their bags and defect to the opposing side? Isn't that just a classic case of "if you can't beat them, join them"?
If this gets out, won't the guys in the industry laugh their heads off?
Especially when he thought of those internet-addicted teenagers in the training room who were on vacation, they patted him on the shoulder before leaving and said, "Wei Shen will stay at the base and train hard, and lead us to revenge next season." Now he has to run away with the opponent's invitation in a sorry state...

"Damn it, is dignity more important or future prospects?" Ga Dewei suddenly tapped his head. NXG's email was still lit up on the screen, and the bolded words "all-inclusive" seemed to wink sarcastically.

"Ahem... I'm sorry to tell you all, our team will be undergoing some restructuring next season. The manager will be discussing new contracts and specific arrangements with you all in a few days..."

Just then, a notification popped up on my phone.

Ga Dewei looked at the message sent by VG management on the screen with a strange expression.

It seems... there's nothing to worry about anymore.

……

While Gadiwei was still hesitating about whether to go to the NXG club for a trial, Jiang Ming had already handed over the relevant matters to his own club manager and drove alone to the headquarters of Tencent Sports.

Accompanying him in the same car were Pei Le from WE Club, Hou Geting from OMG, and other LPL club owners.

The reason for this trip is not a secret: Tencent Sports' LPL league operations department invited these LPL club owners to discuss the establishment of LSPL (League of Legends Secondary League).

"Wow, Mr. Jiang, you're really fast!"

Inside the parking lot, Pei Le rolled down her car window and greeted Jiang Ming, who had parked his car.

Jiang Ming dangled the car keys and teased, "If the car is bad, you just have to drive faster to avoid being late."

"Hahaha, what a load of nonsense. With your current net worth, you could easily afford a Panamera or Cayenne, let alone a sports car worth tens of millions."

"We're used to being poor, so we have to be careful with our money. The club is a big family, and we need money everywhere."

"That's true."

Pei Le nodded in deep agreement.

"Wait for me to park the car, then we can go up together."

Whether it was due to an age gap or because NXG's current performance had reached a point where it was enough to provoke a united front from LPL clubs, for quite some time before the meeting, apart from Pei Le, very few people actually greeted Jiang Ming.

Without saying hello?

That's perfect. We're too lazy to play games with you. In his view, if these LPL clubs feel that the current environment is unsustainable and they only know how to stick to the old ways and not how to change when facing competition, then they might as well withdraw early.

Once this year's World Championships are over, and capital enters the market, it's likely that none of them will be able to stay even if they want to.

While the LPL clubs didn't react much, the heads of VG and LGD, who had also received invitations from Tencent's management and whose clubs were still outside the LPL, were quite enthusiastic.

Boss Ding and Sister Pan constantly conveyed in their conversations that they wanted to learn from NXG.

Jiang Ming reciprocated with utmost sincerity towards these two colleagues who showed goodwill.

He knew that in the esports world, besides the battles on the field, personal relationships were equally important off the field. While the other party coveted his professional esports management experience, he was equally eager for the other party's other resources.
The world is bustling with activity, all driven by the pursuit of profit. The best approach is to achieve harmony and wealth through equal exchange.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

The group had only been chatting for a few minutes when LPL manager Lao Hu and several staff members came to greet them.
