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

Chapter 221 I love how foreigners are so naive and unsophisticated.

No wonder PDD made such a comment: once Rumble is picked, you're guaranteed to have to lane against him.

With short range and no mobility skills, this hero is heavily reliant on levels and equipment. If you choose to switch lanes, it's like rendering half of this hero useless.

Since you're planning to switch lanes, why not consider choosing other heroes?
At this moment, the director thoughtfully switched the camera to FNC's backstage area, where Deilor appeared on the screen with his arms crossed, his shiny bald head particularly eye-catching.

Apart from slightly furrowing his brow, Deilor made no other unusual movements, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

With the match in progress, no one could know for sure what kind of communication and exchange took place within FNC during the pre-match draft phase.

A disastrous incident occurred in the bottom lane, while Song Yuan in the top lane simply went back to base to replenish his resources after defeating the Stone Beetle.

He glanced at the spider still roaming in the jungle, and seeing that it didn't want to leave, he simply plunged back into the jungle after replenishing his health and mana.

"Stone, I'll eat your F4 group, haha." Song Yuan's voice came from the team voice chat.

"No problem, you can eat it."

Shi Zhenyu, controlling the Sword Demon, was clearing the lower jungle and readily agreed.

Anyway, if the jungle monsters in the top lane aren't dealt with in time, they'll eventually be taken by the spider. It's better to let your own teammates benefit than to let the opponent benefit.

In handling the situation after the lane swap, FNC, unable to catch Kennen, opted to quickly push the top lane turret. They let Elise intercept the minion wave in the mid lane, while Corki and Sona became "turret-destroying machines," focusing solely on dealing damage to the turret.

"We see that the two sides have different follow-up strategies. After NXG killed Rumble in the bottom lane, Zyra, who was low on health, recalled to base to replenish her supplies, while Aatrox returned to the bottom jungle to clear camps. On the other hand, to ensure the development of Elise, who had been protecting him in the top lane, FNC's AD even voluntarily gave up the minion wave." The commentator's voice rang out at the right time.

"Hey, you're not leaving, right? I'm not going to lane anymore. I've moved to the F4 camp. After clearing two camps, I should be able to reach level two. Norsha is very clever and has run to mid lane to interfere with Fizz's development."

"Whoa, xPeke's calling the police! What's with the two of you pinning me down?"

"It was the spider who messed with you, not me, Little Fishman!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tease.

However, NXG's targeting of the mid lane was only temporary. Song Yuan knew he couldn't stay in the mid lane for too long to steal Ahri's experience - both mid laners were assassins with strong early-game killing ability, and whoever reached level six first would gain the initiative.

In the game, Kennen threw a shuriken, dealing one bar of damage and driving away the Fizz, causing the opponent to lose two minions. He then turned and retreated to his top lane.

"They've started pushing the second tower!"

"I'm coming right away. You farm the lane and see if the enemy dares to dive the tower."

Shi Zhenyu's Aatrox is already level 3. With a level 2 Kennen and a level 3 Aatrox, if the opponent dares to dive the tower, they also have a chance to earn a few 300 gold.

But FNC wasn't stupid. They knew that after Aatrox cleared the bottom jungle, he would most likely turn to the top lane. And since they only saw Kennen peek out at level two, they wouldn't be so foolish as to gamble on the opponent having learned QW but not E without having full vision of Kennen.

After weighing their options, the three FNC players chose to return to base.

Pang Ran glanced at the bottom lane tower's health and knew it would be difficult to take it down in a short time, so he decisively signaled to retreat: "Recall, clear this wave of minions, and upgrade my equipment."

At five and a half minutes, the policewoman from Xujing left about three drops of health for the plane's Sona who came to take over the call. She went home and immediately crafted her own vampire scepter.

This lane swap was a strategy where the female police officer lost some CS to convert her gold and then feed it to Kennen in the top lane.

However, at the same time, in a corner where no one was paying attention, Yihan's Ahri in the mid lane successfully forced Fizz back to base with the help of Kennen in the mid lane.

“He lost his soldiers, so Shi Tou came to Zhong to help me catch them.”

"How much experience do you need to get to level six?" Shi Zhenyu looked at the fox's experience bar.

"A soldier!"

Six minutes and twenty-eight seconds.

In their first coordinated attack, NXG's mid and jungle players, yihan first gave Fizz enough distance to use his E skill to stomp on his face, and then used his charm when Fizz tried to use his Q skill to turn around. At the same time, Aatrox in the bush took a big step out, and xPeke, knowing that being controlled by the crowd control might result in being killed, decisively used Flash.

Just when everyone thought the fight was over, the fox and the sword demon's feigned retreat, one above the other, deceived xPeke.

At this moment, a melee minion on the blue team died, and the level above the hero's head changed from five to six. Ahri, who was still far away a second ago, flew close. Aatrox was even more decisive, directly flashing and Q-knocking up the Fizz who had neither flash nor E.

NXG stone killed FNC xPeke!

With the mid laner dead, Spider once again, with tears in her eyes, farmed another wave of minions.

The collaboration with NXG wasn't over yet; yihan immediately signaled in the bottom lane after his collaboration with Aatrox.

"Four-man gank, keep the support!"

"Oh dear, Qiangzi is angry, he's even taking the initiative to give orders."

"Go go go! Our Brother Qiang's approach is flawless."

Wu Zhiqiang immediately noted down the information about the low-health turret left in the bottom lane. At this time, the mid laner died, the spider was forced to take over, and the bottom lane turret was also at low health. According to Ming's strategy, they should definitely expand their advantage.

The three commentators in the LPL commentary booth were greatly encouraged.

"FNC's bot lane has noticed and is already retreating, but they may not have enough time."

"Aatrox and Ahri successfully flanked, Dark Leap followed by Charm - beautiful, the continuous control instantly killed Sona, Ahri secured the 300 gold kill."

Damn!

EU players on site were suffering from headshots and were screaming in agony.

Fans of other teams in the live stream sighed with regret, feeling a sense of shared sorrow.

That's the power of NXG. Individual players online rarely make many plays; often, it's just a small detail that creates a vulnerability, which they can then exploit to create endless momentum. Faced with this situation, it wasn't just the ordinary spectators who were shocked. When FNC showed signs of collapse within seven minutes of the first game, the players from the other six quarter-finalist teams were equally terrified.

Countless eyes were fixed on Ahri, who had killed Sona and gotten 300 gold, and acted as if nothing had happened.

Is the NXG's mid-lane a weak point or a vulnerability?

Just kidding.

Who the hell came up with this outrageous conclusion?

In the blink of an eye, just over seven minutes later, the kill score had reached 3 to 0, with the purple team leading by 2,000 gold.

One factor is the number of kills, but another factor is the huge difference in last-hitting between the top and mid lanes!

"Hey buddy, what are you doing?"

In the English commentary booth, the bearded man suddenly noticed that his partner had somehow taken out his phone with his right hand.

What!

Is this some kind of live-streamed slacking off?

The man in the suit with his slicked-back hair looked mysterious and explained to the camera, "I'm calculating the minion wave time in the mid lane. Pay attention to Ahri's return to lane."

In the game footage, Ahri, who had just finished leading the charge in the bottom lane, returned to the mid lane, where she caught up with a wave of creeps that the Fizz had cleared up and was pushing into the tower.

"Just right!"

"What do you mean, just right?" The bearded man was still a little confused.

"NXG's minion wave management, man! Yihan didn't lose a single minion. That's so cool."

[There are more details: after killing Sona, Zyra followed Aatrox into the jungle.]

[To prevent FNC's mid and jungle from intercepting them midway?]

[Smart move. If FNC tries to launch an attack while Ahri's ultimate is still on cooldown, the extra Zyra will teach FNC another lesson.]

Viewers with a god-like perspective experienced the joy of predicting a match by following the man in the suit's train of thought.

When the Spider Queen unleashed her cocoon in the game, intending to coordinate with Aatrox to cause trouble, but was forced to retreat upon discovering Zyra following behind, the English-language livestream chat instantly became lively.

Eight minutes later, the second buff spawned.

FNC's Spider recklessly tried to take it all by herself, but was forced to use her precious Flash by Aatrox and Kennen.

"Oh, Spider's Flash was forced out. Let's see if NXG will use this time to do something. Norsha's Kennen built Sorcerer's Shoes as his first item, so his ultimate damage is more than enough."

"The development ability of each person in NXG is so strong. It seems like they haven't missed any kills."

Ten minutes into the game, the commentators from each competition area, while searching for topics to discuss, suddenly discovered a very alarming phenomenon.

Nine minutes into the game, Mid Lane Nine-Tailed Fox: 82 CS!

Top lane Kennen: 67 CS!

Bottom lane Caitlyn: 89 CS!

[Finally found it!]

[Hehehe, the feeling we viewers had when we were scared by NXG in the LPL is finally something the foreigners can experience.]

[How do you think the LPL achieved its perfect record in the Spring Split? (lol)]

It's true that none of the five members of NXG are particularly strong individually; it's just that their fundamentals are a little bit ridiculously bad.

[Only three kills in ten minutes? Wait fifteen or twenty minutes and see the equipment difference of being down by forty or fifty CS before you're shocked.]

I love how naive and unsophisticated foreigners seem.

[FNC: So what? We've only heard that NXG is very strong, but we haven't experienced it firsthand.]

Now you've seen it!

After eleven minutes, FNC finally found an opportunity amidst great difficulties.

Taking advantage of Zyra's vision control in the dragon pit, Sona flashed and used her ultimate to control Pang Ran, while Elise and Corki unleashed burst damage, killing him before the rest of NXG could arrive to help.

"We finally found an opportunity here, and killed NXG's support, but FNC is hesitant about whether to take the dragon."

"We still need to make a move. The blue team needs the economy from this dragon to make up for the huge gap in last-hitting."

"But NXG has also come over. Sona doesn't have her ultimate. If Aatrox and Kennen coordinate well, they still have a chance to win a 4v5."

In the game, the remaining four members of the purple team regrouped as quickly as possible.

Kennen even went home to update his mask before arriving at the battlefield.

Backstage, seeing the four purple heroes who had assembled at lightning speed, Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction.

The biggest difference between LPL-style operation and LCK-style operation is that LPL-style operation is never afraid of confrontation.
