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

Chapter 261 The World Championship is so-so, I think the intra-team matches are more difficult!
"What is North America like?"

"I've heard some people say that the air and water there are sweet, but the problem is that the water tastes sweet directly. Isn't that because the lead content is too high?"

"If there's too much freedom, can we buy a gun for self-defense?"

"Wow, it would be so cool to buy a gun. Back in my day, I was the king of balloon popping in our town."

The documentary begins with a voice-over, consistent with the first part of "The Unknown".

After understanding what the players were discussing, the viewers watching the video burst into laughter.

【Goose, goose, goose!】

Are these guys at NXG really that funny?

【The air is sweet, the water is sweet, why don't you say the toilet water is sweet and drinkable?】

Hey buddy upstairs, you're really out of touch. A certain magazine in our country wrote exactly that: "The air here is sweet, the water is sweet, and um, the neighbor's toilet needs to be scrubbed seven times a day..."

As a chemistry student, I just want to tell you that while I don't know if naturally sweet water tastes good, water with excessive heavy metals will definitely give you a different kind of health experience.

Contrary to players' expectations, the first part of NXG's "Unknowns: The Champions" focuses more on the players' personal lives.

The anticipation, trepidation, and fear I felt when I went abroad to compete for the first time!
A multitude of emotions piled up, quickly capturing the audience's attention.

However, the photographer did not directly use facial expression capture to write about it. Instead, he used the wildly imaginative and seemingly bizarre questions in the minds of these young people to express it indirectly.

Especially when the audio and video were synchronized, and the camera suddenly flashed from China to Los Angeles Airport in North America, finally focusing on Song Yuan and Xu Jing performing the "dry-land-up-onion jump," the barrage of comments instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

[Hey, I told you before that Lao Song and that show-off Xu are definitely the comedic relief at NXG, and you still didn't believe me.]

[This is hilarious! The team leader went over so many preparation instructions during the setup phase, but these two didn't listen to a single word!]

[Friendly reminder: the temperature drops significantly at night in coastal cities. A night in the teens (Celsius) paired with shorts... well, that fits my preconceived notions about NXG's top laner and AD carry.]

puff!

The "Pure Love Goddess," who nearly burst out laughing, paused the progress bar with her mouse and joined the army of hysterical laughter in the comments.

They truly didn't expect that such a hilarious moment would occur during NXG's journey to North America for the competition.

The music in the first segment of the video is upbeat, giving the overall impression of relaxation. Crucially, you won't feel anything is amiss. Given NXG's undefeated dominance and terrifying strength, they certainly have the right to be cheerful.

However, just when the audience thought that the cheerful tone would remain the main theme of the documentary, the music suddenly changed.

The color tone of the image was also suddenly changed from a pleasant warm tone to a cool tone.

"Ahhh!"

"We can't fight them, we simply can't fight them."

"If all the points have been figured out, what's the point of playing?"

"I can't win in lane, and I can't win in team fights!"

"My hands were shaking the whole time, and it felt like I couldn't hear your feedback at all."

"Too many mistakes!"

Pure Love God of War: ? ? ?
The change in documentary style left both the God of Pure Love and countless viewers in front of the video somewhat bewildered.

Who?
Which team is so strong that they can completely dominate NXG in scrims?

Could it be that invincible TSM team from scrims? But the players' statements don't seem to fit either; they've figured out all their weaknesses, so it should be a familiar team.

However, the script for the documentary clearly didn't leave the audience to make wild guesses. Soon, the red "[day2]" appeared next to the red score on the right side of the documentary.

Meanwhile, a scarlet subtitle hangs diagonally to the side: [Talent and Effort]!
Immediately afterwards, the video footage was split into two shots.

On one side is NXG Team One in North America, and on the other side is NXG Black and White Ten!

The camera slowly zooms in on the closed glass door of the training room. The room is dimly lit, with only the computer screen emitting a cold, bluish light.

The screen freezes on the game screen where the countdown has ended, with the bright red "DEFEAT" lettering flashing glaringly.

[Oh my god, it's these perverts.]

[It seems the previous interviews were all true; both the Black and White teams are just as strong as the First Team.]

[Does "6 to 4" mean that NXG's Black and White teams won a total of six games, while Team One only won four?]

Well, if it's them, then I'm not surprised at all.

Wow, JM is going to reach the heavens! She's holding nothing but epic SSR cards!

I think the teams in the finals should be crying. They fought the boss for so long, only to fall to the opponent in the end. They thought they had seen the opponent's limit, and now you're telling me there are still two bosses hiding in their crotch...

[Other teams: Report! I want to report them! NXG is cheating! They hired a bunch of champion-level players for training! How are we supposed to play?]

[NXG: The difficulty of the World Championship isn't that great, it's not even as hard as our internal scrims. (doge)]

To be honest, now I finally understand what JM said in the post-match interview after the finals where they swept SKT 3-0.

The entire NXG team can truly be described as hard-working geniuses!

Without sentimentality or exaggeration, the second act of the documentary is a single, continuous shot, capturing the contestants' genuine emotions.

However, it is precisely this unadorned recording, devoid of any performative intent, that touches the hearts of the audience.

Players who watched this video, especially those who weren't very familiar with NXG and were only drawn in by the hype surrounding their championship win, received a reinforced understanding of this concept:

It turns out that NXG, who have been praised and lauded by netizens, were not invincible from the start, nor were they exceptionally talented!

They relied on unparalleled teamwork and hard work to defeat one formidable opponent after another on their path to victory.

Many outsiders who held prejudices against esports, believing it to be nothing more than a game for internet addicts, have changed their views as a result.

This is precisely why Jiang Ming spared no effort in recording documentary footage for the team along the way.

If the esports industry wants to grow bigger, simply having money will only turn it into a runaway horse, just like in the past. At the beginning of esports development, it is necessary to set a good example for both viewers and players to curb the growth of some bad habits.

Unfortunately, there's still a long way to go and a lot of work to be done to restore the reputation of esports.

……

Day 3!
The final scene wasn't particularly special in its design; it used a slideshow format of highlight reels, a common technique in esports competitions.

The content carefully selects highlights of Jiang Ming and the five members of NXG from the quarterfinals to the finals.

Listening to the cheers and shouts from the players on site, and the atmosphere ignited by each victory, allowed those outside the esports circle who couldn't experience the charm of esports events firsthand to get a taste of its passion.
