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

Chapter 256: Portraits of All Beings!
"NXG is awesome!"

"Holy crap, NXG, I love you guys."

"Hahaha, another night of battle, another night of battle."

"Not only that, you can also get free skins, and the heroes that NXG used in the World Championship will also be added to the free skins list this week."

"I'm speechless. JM was amazing!"

"Chinese server operations planner: ???"

"Why should you thank others for the benefits I give out!"

"Normally, when they ask the planners to organize an event, they're stingy, like they're going to kill their whole family. Now they've suddenly become so generous, it's really a bit hard to get used to."

This scene played out repeatedly among countless LOL players after the event announcement was released in the League of Legends Chinese server client.

Don't ask, I'm just a 10-year NXG fan.

LOL players will never be slaves, unless you give them skins for free!
Following the festivities, a wave of "calling him father" swept across the Chinese server.

what?
You asked what "calling father" means in the Chinese server?
Young man, it's obvious you haven't experienced the madness of the previous All-Star League of Legends Battle Night.

For a whole week, the internet cafe computers will never be available for you. If you don't have time to reserve a spot in advance, or find a free guy to turn on the computer for you, then when you come back for a machine on the weekend, you'll just have to wait until someone else leaves.

You'll have to be lucky; if you're unlucky, you might search the entire city and still not find a single available spot.

Let's have a word in. Before I helped you, you called me brother and I didn't mind. But now that I've managed to carve out a path for you from among thousands of enemies to secure a position for you, what should you call me?
If simply occupying a spot isn't enough to get the "In the Name of the Father" skin, then for players who can't log in during Battle Night for various reasons but still want to claim this hard-won free skin, their cries of "My dear father" are all the more willingly accepted.

Undoubtedly, the Battle Night event in the Chinese server has pushed the already incredibly excited atmosphere of the League of Legends esports scene to a whole new climax.

Aside from the various trending topics on Weibo, Baidu Tieba, the TGA official forum, video website comment sections, and other places are all filled with discussions from League of Legends players.

The popularity of the comment sections on video websites has exceeded many people's expectations.

The reason for this was that some fans, who were passionate about the sport, completed the editing of the three Bo5 matches of the NXG World Championship the day after the competition ended, and also added highlights to the end of each match video.

Players who couldn't watch the live stream or wanted to relive the highlights of Season 3 gathered here.

The titles and cover images of the video compilations were also made by the players who uploaded the videos to look incredibly powerful.

The title is: [God of the Rift - A Legendary Player Who Won the Championship Undefeated!]

The video cover features a screenshot of Jiang Ming holding a tactical notebook, waving to cheer on the players before leaving the field, giving off a strong sense of strategic planning and decisive victory.

Soon, thanks to the constant recommendations from NXG fans, this video, uploaded by an ordinary passerby, went viral online.

The number of views skyrocketed from 100,000 to 200,000, 1 million, and 5 million, and the number of people who collected and shared the content was countless.

Such a grand occasion naturally attracted those who already make a living online to keep up with the trend immediately.

The imitation and replication were completed in one go!
On Tencent Video, videos with the NXG prefix were uploaded that day, but they were compilations of exciting matches and highlights of brilliant plays from the Spring and Summer Splits, and they garnered an astonishing number of views.

On Bilibili, a content creator named Pear has come up with a wildly imaginative and unconventional approach, creating some truly unexpected and outrageous content.

Using his video editing skills, he collaborated directly with high-ranking hardcore players to create a video series called "NXG Tactical Unveiled".

"NXG Tactical Unveiling Series Episode 1"

A summary analysis of NXG's tactics and strategies when JM was on the field!

"First, please allow the uploader to presume to summarize NXG's playstyle during the World Championship... First, when JM was on the field, NXG's tactical system liked to focus on extreme early and mid-game pressure, using precise drafting, lane swapping, and team fight decisions to end the game within 25 minutes."

"Second, the draft phase: JM is extremely adept at inducing opponents to choose lineups with poor initiative, while locking in strong early-game heroes (such as Jayce, Lee Sin, and Renekton). For example, in the match against FNC, NXG used a trap draft to make the opponent choose Fizz and Elise, which are very difficult to coordinate mid and jungle, and then quickly established an advantage with the Ahri + Aatrox double engage combination."

"Third, laning and lane swapping: Frequently use lane swapping tactics, take advantage of JM's pressure and the team's overall coordination, constantly rotate lanes to create space, quickly push down the enemy's first tower, and at the same time deploy invading vision. After gaining vision control, the next step is to focus on neutral resources."

"IV. Teamfight Phase: Here we use two idioms to describe it - attacking the enemy's defense and besieging the point to attack reinforcements!" "NXG is very good at forcing the opponent to engage in teamfights during their lineup's power spike by focusing on strategic targets such as dragons and turrets. At the same time, in teamfights, their exaggerated vision control and the tacit understanding between players can ensure that their team can win the game in most cases. Finally, with the addition of minion wave pressure, whether the opponent fights or not, whether they are decisive or not, NXG basically has the initiative from the start."

"In terms of encirclement and suppression, I think no team is better than NXG at using the mobility brought by rapid lane switching to flank isolated enemies while intercepting support troops."

"Here's a quick shout-out to UZI from Royal Never Give Up and Kid from IG, these bot lane players can relate to this the most."

"Finally, after the Riot version changes, JM boldly devised an offensive strategy around the jungle. While many junglers were still mindlessly building tank items to be the carry, NXG keenly realized the impact that Riot would have on the game after adding a group of jungle monsters."

"The content creator interviewed many high-ranking players and even professional players, and concluded that the real reason SKT was swept 3-0 in the finals was actually the difference in the jungle..."

Wow, the uploader is amazing!

[Wow, you're awesome! After listening to your video analysis and then watching the finals, I really understood a lot more.]

Wow, with this level of skill, why isn't she becoming an analyst for a professional esports team and making a name for herself? Why is she just being a content creator?

[Like, favorite, and give a coin – the uploader is awesome! Looking forward to the second installment of the NXG tactical analysis.]

The video content is hardcore and well-reasoned. During the analysis, the Pear UP also included screenshots from the finals as evidence. Such content, full of useful information, attracted countless League of Legends fans to watch.

Pear, a previously unknown content creator, gained over 100,000 followers in just one week with her "NXG Tactical Analysis" series thanks to this video.

In fact, as time went on, news of NXG winning the S3 World Championship gradually spread, and the level of popularity was so exaggerated that any post related to NXG would get clicks and comments, and even a simple cheering video with NXG's name would get comments and reposts.

Pear, a content creator on Bilibili, is just one of them.

Under the original timeline, even relatively unknown content creators like Pear could rise to prominence, while those streamers, commentators, and professional players who were already deeply involved in the League of Legends scene are now reaping unimaginable benefits from this opportunity.

It's no exaggeration to say that anyone with a bit of sense can ride this e-sports wave and achieve financial freedom.

In a short time, commentary and content creation centered around League of Legends match videos proliferated:
"Miss's Ranked Match Diary!" "The Rise of the Elementary School Kid!" "The Number One Series in the Chinese Server!"

"..."

Some of these creations lean towards professionalism, but many more lean towards entertainment. After all, the ceiling for professional video commentary is already set by Jiang Ming's "Hero's Little Classroom," and apart from those geniuses who take a different approach, not many people are willing to squeeze onto a narrow path.

NXG alone cannot possibly take all the cake from the video creation market. There are not enough viewers, and more collaborative creations from within the alliance are needed.

With such market-driven guidance, entertainment-oriented creations have flourished in a vibrant and diverse manner.
Among them, the top streamer is a talented anchor with a strong Northeastern accent who never shows his face and always likes to call himself Nicky Wu of Huludao.

"Haha, hello everyone, my handsome viewers! I'm Xiao Zhi, the Nicky Wu from Huludao, whose good looks always surpass those of you watching on screen..."

"Hehe, just kidding. Our LPL region won the S3 championship recently, so I'm just trying to get some traffic for this video."

"So many content creators on YouTube are already doing professional analysis. In order not to steal the jobs of other industry professionals, I, a seasoned streamer, will reluctantly become a comedic streamer."

"Speaking of NXG, they're incredibly awesome... Do you know what 'complete victory' means?"

"For us ordinary people, especially those of you watching this, it's extremely difficult to get a six or seven-game winning streak in ranked matches. Even if no one AFKs or feeds, you'll still encounter powerful and terrifying opponents who will cut you off... Some of you may have even lost to bots. But NXG—they actually achieved a perfect record of nine wins and won the World Championship!"

"Ahem, of course, he's still a little bit inferior to our Nicky Wu from Huludao."

"hey-hey!"

"..."

"At the end of the video, it's time for our commercial break. This time, Xiaozhi is bringing you a brand new, super cool, and very affordable T-shirt."

"Most importantly, to celebrate our region winning the global championship, viewers who place orders this week at Xiaozhi's Taobao store will enjoy a huge discount of half-price shipping!!!"

……

Professional club development, match commentary, and creation of league-related videos!
Jiang Ming's long-held ambition to expand the esports market has been further solidified by consecutive victories at the Shanghai All-Star Game and the S3 Los Angeles World Championship. Led by Tencent, numerous investors are poised to enter the market, making the industry increasingly robust. This summer, the name "NXG" has become synonymous with the industry's current popularity.
