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

Chapter 276 I really hate genius teenagers!

The footage of the NXG backstage area was only fleeting, like a shot accidentally captured by a staff member.

However, those two short seconds caused an uproar in NEST's live stream.

【! ! ! 】

【? ? ? 】

[Where did I get here? Is this still the NEST finals?]

If I'm not mistaken, is JM sleeping?

[Damn it, get up!! Sleeping isn't allowed here!!!]

Young people have it great; they sleep well and can fall asleep the moment their head hits the pillow.

[Shocking! The owner of a well-known League of Legends esports club actually underestimated his opponent in the finals...]

[UC's Shock Department is also shocked!]

Oh, so the finals are all teams from your own club? That's fine then.

[Pfft... From this perspective, JM would be in a winning position no matter which team wins, so he can indeed rest assured.]

No one expected that the NEST tournament would be so calm so far. Aside from NXG's victory over OMG and their advancement to the finals against the Black Team sparking some discussion, the second major topic of discussion came from JM, who didn't play a single match. And what's most surprising is that the trigger was that this NXG owner, the key figure behind the S3 championship, and a legendary LPL player—fell asleep in the finals rest area…

"Ahem..." Miller coughed lightly, deliberately ignoring the camera cut to the scene, and quickly raised his voice, trying to draw the audience's attention back to the game: "Judging from the lineups, both sides have pulled out a rather unexpected combination! However, the specific effect will depend on the players' performance in the game."

"The players are now in the game loading screen! Audience members, let's send them our enthusiasm and cheers—go for it!"

With the finals underway, NEST, which was originally not very popular, has seen its popularity surge dramatically due to the dual topics of the "last dance" before the disbandment of the S3 champion team and the "NXG derby internal battle," and has now reached its peak.

At this moment, inside the arena, guided by Miller, deafening shouts of encouragement instantly ignited the entire stadium!

As the battle anthem from the on-site sound system grew louder, the scene transitioned from dark to light, revealing Summoner's Rift with a strong sense of desolation to everyone.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
Right from the start of the match, the two NXG teams presented the audience and other professional players with a dazzling battle of signals.

On the map, from the heroes descending at the fountain to their positions forming a long, straight line, markers indicating different locations appear one after another, almost without interruption.

[Stop! Stop! Stop!]

My brain is buzzing; this signal density is outrageous!

"Stop chanting, Master, stop chanting! It's giving me a terrible headache."

[My goodness, the game just started, where did they get so much information to exchange?]

[The key point is that both teams seem to be genuinely engaged in strategic maneuvering, not just playing blindly.]

[Is there any expert who can explain this? I successfully advanced to the Platinum level two days ago, but I still can't understand the opening strategy of NXG.]

[Um, as a Diamond 3 jungler in Ionia, let me say a few words. I don't know if my analysis is correct, so please be gentle with your comments, pros in the livestream.]

[Regarding the level 1 team fight composition, with Annie's W area stun on the left, normally the blue side should be invading the purple side's jungle.]

[But the Black Team is no pushover either. Jax has his E, Ahri has her charm, Zyra has her roll, and with Lee Sin and Corki dealing high damage, they're all formidable level 1 team fights. Neither side really wants to engage in a fight easily.]

[To outwit or outmaneuver someone without understanding their own abilities—I used to think that was a derogatory term, but who would have thought it would actually be a compliment?]

At one and a half minutes, just when the audience thought that the two sides were at peace and the game would begin, the game was about to start.

The blue team placed a ward in the bushes outside the blue buff wall beforehand, and accurately spotted the black team's Lee Sin invading.

"Stone, Old Han has placed a ward in your blue zone."

"Yes, got it."

"If they swap jungle camps, they probably still want to switch lanes."

NXG (blue side) actually staged a "feigned attack" strategy under Pang Ran's design - all three wards in the top and jungle were invested in the top half of the map at the beginning, while the vision control in the bottom half relied entirely on the players pushing forward to scout.

The selection of the two strong sidelane champions, Crocodile and Caitlyn, forces the purple team to face a crucial decision right from the start:
Will the blue team focus their early game tempo on the top lane, or will they target the bottom lane?
It is obvious that the blue side has gained a slight lead in the first level of the game.

Prince entered the blue buff area of ​​the purple team first, while Han Jun's Lee Sin was delayed in clearing the jungle due to poor vision and lack of information.

As the match began, the audience at the venue and many professional players watching the live stream witnessed once again the terrifying operational skills possessed by the entire NXG team.

In lane swap games, junglers exchange jungle camps, top laners start with mirrored jungle monsters, and then return to base to replenish supplies.

Online heroes don't rush to push the lane; instead, they wait until they have accumulated a certain number of minions before sending them all into the tower.

Immediately afterwards, the two top laners experienced completely equal suffering under their respective towers—the AD pushed the tower and harassed the enemy, while the support harassed and chipped away at their health.

This series of actions instantly made some teams that had faced each other in the World Championship realize the situation:
"Damn, no wonder I always felt the rhythm was off. Turns out you have to consider troop deployment in lane swap games."

"The difference in the number of minions was only a few, but the top lane hero didn't even dare to fight back, because if he did, he would get ganged up on." "And that's not all. With more minions, the tower-pushing efficiency is on a completely different level."

From a strategic perspective, in this lane swap game, the purple side hopes to suppress the Renekton in the early game in order to allow the Jax to develop.

The reason why the blue side can accept lane swapping is that Caitlyn needs to push towers quickly in the early game to accumulate equipment, and can also avoid the threat of Lee Sin to some extent.

The combination of Caitlyn and Annie is strong in lane, but Annie lacks mobility skills. Facing the jungle duo of Lee Sin, Corki, and Zyra, she may easily fall victim to a gank combo from the opposing team if she is not careful.

For the female police officer to push towers, pushing the lane is essential, so overall, the lane swap in the first game was an acceptable situation for both sides.

……

Shi Zhenyu glanced at the jungle area; his Prince's jungle clearing route this game could be described as completely self-inflicted.

After taking the blue buff for the purple side, he returned to his own jungle and took the red buff. Then, instead of fighting the Krugs, he went straight to the top lane to farm the wolves, using his EQ combo to jump over the wall and reach the top lane.

Song Yuan's crocodile eats the F4 at level 1, which allows him to quickly clear the jungle in a triangular pattern. The invasion of the Lee Sin in the upper half of the jungle is known, and the black team still has vision in the blue buff area. He plans to learn from the white team's jungler, Spicy Pot, and play "Instinct" with the Lee Sin!
Han Jun, the jungler for the Black team, has a style somewhat similar to Ming Kai from WE. Both are the type of junglers who like to plan their moves carefully and whose playstyle leans towards map control.

However, compared to Mingkai, Seeker retains the aggressiveness of a carnivorous jungler while controlling the map, and is also exceptionally decisive in initiating team fights. This is why they prioritize the team fight survival of Xu Jing and his partner when selecting their two carries.

As for Mala Xiangguo... the reason why the White Team defeated the Black Team in the previous City League of Legends Championship and lost to the Black Team in NEST was actually all because of this guy.

Simply put, this person's jungling style is just too...

With the wind?
It's a long story.

Unpredictable and mysterious?

He couldn't explain it, but he did find a way to deal with Seeker from Mala Xiangguo—don't play the conventional way!
"Oh, Stone's Prince chose a very unusual jungle route. Instead of protecting Caitlyn in the bottom lane as she pushes the tower, he used his EQ combo to jump over the wall and run to the top lane."

"That's normal. Both Vladimir and Caitlyn are carry heroes who need a long time to develop. The blue team prioritizes protecting Renekton's development, which is also to compete for the early dragon in team fights."

"Zyra didn't notice, there aren't many minions left in front of the tower, Xiao Duan and the other two might be in danger."

[Get ready to do it, get ready to do it! 】

[Good opportunity! Zyra is already preparing to establish vision control.]

[Wow, such high discipline! The moment the support left, the plane immediately distanced itself from the crocodile, not giving Song a chance to use Flash W.]

[Little Stone, hurry up and get to work, or the plane will escape!]

Rumors swirled and forums gushed with praise, but only by witnessing it firsthand could the audience truly appreciate the terrifying power of the NXG Black and White Duo – in short, they had perfectly inherited all of NXG's advantages.

"hold on!"

The judgment of the off-site audience is naturally vastly different from that of the players on the field.

Those "good" moments when players hesitate to act when it seems like the right time to go in, or when they rush in recklessly and end up losing, are often just criticisms from a God's perspective to a first-person perspective.

He needed to make sure Zyra was really far away, and not just pretending to retreat to trick him or Renekton into giving up their valuable Summoner Spells.

"on!"

At this moment, the low-health cannon minion finally became an irresistible primal temptation for AD players.

Qin Huan's actions of trying to finish off Zyra with his plane and then turning around to block and release his skills undoubtedly revealed that Zyra was not there to protect him at that moment!

"Look at my divine might, invincible!"

boom!
The [Debon Flag] was planted fiercely! The [Dragon Strike] followed, tearing through the air!

Clad in golden armor, the Demacian prince pounced on his target like an arrow released from a bow!

A golden light suddenly shone behind him!
boom!
"He's in! EQ flash! Heading straight for the plane!" Miller's commentary instantly rose in volume.

However, before he could finish speaking, the scene that followed left his partner Bella stunned and frozen in the commentary booth!
The plane—had vanished—from the path of the dragon's impact!
Two flashes of golden light intertwined in a split second!

"Wow--!"

"Wow--!"

The two commentators and the audience seemed to be possessed by the same spirit called Wawa Amazing, leaving them speechless with shock.

"He dodged it! The plane dodged the prince's EQ flash!"

"What level of reaction speed is that?!"

On the players' bench, watching the plane that dodged his EQ flash in a split second, Shi Zhenyu sighed:

"That's why I really hate gifted teenagers."
