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

Chapter 282 When we gather, we are a blazing fire; when we scatter, we are a sky full of stars!

Goodbye NXG!
#Together we are a blazing fire, scattered we are countless stars!#
#Legendary players and teams, shining like shooting stars!#
#The Past and Present of NXG: The team that won the world championship with an undefeated record initially came from a student and their parent's testimony.#
#NXG's final player's destination has been confirmed; he will join Royal Never Give Up (RNG) on loan!#
NEST has ended.

In the championship interview, JM—the core figure who was a teammate, captain, and owner all in one—sent his most sincere farewell wishes.

The audience finally learned the details about the support character Pang Ran.

Good news, NXG still has one support player left; bad news, that support player will also be leaving for at least a year.

At the end of 2013, NXG continued their legendary run from Season 3, once again winning the world championship with a perfect record, bringing their legendary chapter to a glorious close.

Similarly, NXG.B's amazing performance in the finals was also remembered by countless fans: if it weren't for JM, the "BUG-level" player, personally taking the field, the outcome of the finals might have been very different.

Finally, although the NEST trophy is not very prestigious, being able to win both the first and second place in a major domestic competition is an honor in itself that deserves a grand celebration!

After the competition, when the fan interaction event came to a close, Jiang Ming personally paid for a lavish celebration banquet for the players. The newly added NEST trophy has also been returned to the club by the support staff—it has once again replaced a flowerpot on the trophy cabinet, continuing the unique "tradition" of this club with limited space but full of legends.

With all year-end tournaments concluded, NXG Club is now on holiday.

After relieving the pressure of competition and training, the athletes walked out of the base in twos and threes to get some fresh air in the streets and alleys of Nanjing.

Song Yuan and a few others joined in the fun.

Even though it was time for the team to leave after NEST ended, they seemed determined to stay at the base and not leave, clamoring that they would "mooch meals until the season is completely over."

Okay, fine, I'll take advantage of it.

Jiang Ming knew perfectly well that the young people were simply not ready to face parting.

He didn't point it out, letting them do as they pleased: anyway, a few more pairs of chopsticks wouldn't bankrupt NXG.

It was nothing more than a short live broadcast at the base, mainly for interacting with fans, where Jiang Ming dragged me along to celebrate the championship.

The new live streaming contract with YY has not yet been finalized, and NXG's championship victory broadcast has been postponed accordingly. Jiang Ming is indifferent to this: with the example of cooperation with ROX, he doesn't quite understand what YY is still hesitating about. Since the other party doesn't bring it up, he'll just put it aside—it's not NXG who should be worried anyway.

"Consider it an extra two days off for the players," he thought.

December 14, at the entrance of the NXG base.

The five players stood side by side. Tomorrow the club will officially begin its annual break, and today is the moment they bid farewell to the team completely.

The mid-laner bent down regretfully, picked up an empty soda can from beside the rusty iron gate, and gently tossed it into the nearby trash can. "I really didn't expect this," he said in a low voice, "that we joined the team around this time last year, and now we're leaving on the same day this year."

"Who would have thought?" Song Yuan suddenly laughed, with a touch of emotion. "Five 'internet addicts' who were looked down upon by their families and society have transformed into world champions and millionaires!" He recalled how his father almost broke his Seven Wolves leather belt when he told his family he wanted to go pro. But just a year later, his parents came to the club in person and signed a contract with him to go to the North American region.

Even the usually boisterous Xu Jing had lost his usual energy, silently toying with the metal mascot doll of the NXG team in his hand. The cool touch through his fingertips cleared his somewhat dazed mind. "See you next year," he murmured, as if talking to himself, "we'll be complete rivals then."

"Don't let me down! See you at Worlds!"

"Of course!" Xu Jing replied, then looked at the person squatting to the side, "But Little Stone, don't let him plunge headfirst into the European second division and never come out."

The jungler, Little Stone, was looking down, his hands gripping the backpack straps tightly. The wide brim of his hat obscured his eyes, concealing the tears welling up within them. "Mind your own business," came his muffled voice, tinged with a barely perceptible nasal tone. "Don't slack off in your new team. Remember to play more ranked games to maintain your form. Ming said that once you lose your competitive edge, you can never get it back."

A cold wind howled past, ruffling the hems of everyone's clothes, and a brief silence spread through the air.

"How about," Pang Ran's voice wasn't loud, but it broke the silence, "we go back to the basement and take a look?"

"basement?"

“Yes,” Pang Ran nodded, his gaze lingering on the depths of the base, “our original home.”

……

NXG Esports Club.

Second floor window.

Jiang Ming leaned against the railing, his gaze following the five figures below until they gradually disappeared into the distance.

"If you can't bear to part with it, then go and see it off." Lin Jingyi, who was sitting on the sofa organizing documents, spoke up at the right moment.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, shook his head, as if trying to shake off some emotion, "Forget it, it's fine to just let them leave like this."

He turned around, deliberately changing the subject: "Have the year-end bonuses been calculated?"

"Yes, it's here." Lin Jingyi pointed to the payslip on the table. "Take a look, sign it if there are no problems, and I'll have the finance department send it out tonight."

Jiang Ming walked over and picked up the document, but instead of going to the empty sofa opposite him, he sat down directly next to Lin Jingyi.

Lin Jingyi glanced at the spacious opposite seat and rolled her eyes helplessly. However, since the two of them were almost at the stage of meeting each other's parents, she had no intention of moving away and let the other person put their arms around her long legs.

"Year-end bonus no problem." Jiang Ming quickly scanned the document, signed his name, and asked, "Are the New Year's gifts all in place?"

"We've arrived. The New Year's red envelopes are all prepared."

“Not enough…” Jiang Ming pondered for a moment, “Let’s give each of our logistics colleagues an extra thousand yuan in bonuses.”

"One thousand? That's fine too." Lin Jingyi quickly changed the number.

Normally, these trivial matters should not be handled by them personally; they should simply wait for subordinate departments to submit proposals, sign off on them, and allocate funds.

But this year marks the inaugural year for NXG eSports Club.

Jiang Mingde personally took charge this time, ensuring quality control from the very beginning.

He wanted to set a tone for the club: a tone that is humane in management, where promises are kept, and where all benefits and welfare truly reach everyone's pockets.

[@General Manager Jiang Ming!]

[Finally, everyone, pay attention! Where's the applause and screams?! We must give a huge thank you to our handsome, kind-hearted, and visionary CEO Jiang! Why are this year's red envelopes so generous? Because CEO Jiang personally gave everyone an epic "boost" to their red envelope amounts! You know what I mean? Wuhu~ Take off!]

Less than 10 seconds after the message was sent, the club's work group chat exploded!

Message notification sounds filled the air, accompanied by a flurry of emojis and exclamation marks:
Wang Wang (Team Leader): [Holy crap, how many? Twenty-six days!!! Boss Jiang is awesome! Manager Lin is awesome! NXG is my home!] (Boss is so generous! JPG!)

Chen Muxin: [(Adjusting glasses) Rational analysis: 26-day holiday + timely year-end bonus + special red envelope buff from General Manager Jiang + practical New Year's gifts = maximum happiness index for club employees this year. Conclusion: General Manager Jiang is a god!] (Handing the boss some goji berry tea)

Mo Ziye: [Holiday approved! Thank you, General Manager Jiang and Manager Lin! Everyone, get some rest and recharge. We'll be aiming for the S4 championship when we come back after the New Year! But don't slack off during training before the holiday! (Serious face)]

Qian Duoduo (Finance): [@Everyone, remember to come to the finance office on time to collect your red envelopes! President Jiang added extra portions, guaranteed to be generous. Don't miss out, or you'll have to wait another year!]

Jiang Ming @ All Members (Red Envelope!)

[Brothers/Sisters, you've all worked hard this year! Let's continue fighting side-by-side next year and pull off even bigger successes! By the way, here's a sneak peek: NXG's new base is currently in the final stages of site selection! The club will soon be sending out a super cool 'Dream Base' survey. What kind of cutting-edge technology do you want in the training rooms? How do you make the rest area the most comfortable? Maybe even a koi pond? Speak your mind! Your ideas will be the soul of the new base!]

Yes, the construction of NXG's new base has been officially put on the agenda.

Although Jiang Ming and the investors have not yet finalized the specific details of their cooperation regarding the club's investment, the S3 World Championship prize money from Riot Games and the new season sponsorship fees from multiple major sponsors have all been deposited into the club's account.

With the transfer revenue from five players including Pang Ran, after deducting the club's daily operating costs, the funds needed for the initial construction of the new base were not a problem for them at all.

Following Lin Jingyi's notification, Jiang Ming's red envelopes and news about the new base in the work group completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm. The message box was instantly flooded with cheers:
Thank you, Mr. Jiang! The boss is so generous! Wishing you good health and abundant wealth!

[General Jiang is awesome! NXG is awesome!]

[Thanks for the enhancement!!!]

[A 26-day holiday in Wuhu~ Hope General Manager Jiang continues his efforts next season!]

[New Year's goods, here I come!!!]

Hey there, Jiao Yang, I need your help this afternoon.

Wow, a new base? That's so cool! I want the coffee shop.

I think the club could be converted into a gym (lol)

[Can we get more pets? My little Lucky Milkshake is so lonely.]

[I only care about the cafeteria. Aunt Deng needs to continue cooking. Without you, I don't feel like eating.]

[Haha, Manager Mo, please don't offer any complaints. The youth training camp is all at the old base; you won't be able to go to the new base very often anyway.]

[(Angry) Who said that? Who said that? Who said a youth training manager can't go to the new training base?]

【Hahaha! 】

The work group was filled with laughter and joy, intertwined with the happiness of the New Year and the anticipation for the future. The 2013 season of NXG eSports Club came to a successful close in this atmosphere.
