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

Chapter 56: LPL Begins!
After handling all the miscellaneous tasks such as the team relocation, signing new player contracts, and taking official team photos, etc.

Jiang Ming and his NXG team have also devoted themselves to preparing for the LPL.

Starting at 13 PM every day, from individual basic skills practice, hero pool expansion, tactical explanation, vision and team coordination, to practical training matches with other teams, with the buff of promotion and salary increase, each player is like a wound-up robot, tirelessly improving themselves day after day.

Of course, Jiang Ming is also simultaneously working on YY platform live streaming and video production, which are currently the team's source of funding.

During the day, he would lead the athletes in intensive training. After arranging tasks at night, he would go to the third floor of the base to carry bricks to support his family.

After the online store's promotion ended, its daily sales volume declined significantly, making it urgent to maintain a certain level of exposure.

The live stream is alright; I just play ranked matches on the Chinese server every day to maintain my number one position.

However, with his extremely high win rate, Jiang Ming has already surpassed the second fastest by two hundred win points, and there is no possibility that he will be overtaken in the short term.

Therefore, they can focus more on the program effect during the live broadcast, try to do all kinds of amazing things, and further boost the popularity of the live broadcast room.

Video editing was starting to show signs of being beyond his capabilities. As a time-consuming task, with various other matters piling up, Jiang Ming had no choice but to voluntarily slow down the frequency of each video update.

Fortunately, the two video editing talents recruited by Senior Sister Lin are quite capable.

With the addition of the two, he only needs to focus on writing the scripts for the next period of time, and he can largely leave the video production work to them.

With a couple more training sessions and as they gain more experience, the two will gradually be able to create independently.

There have been some interesting things happening these past few days. When the person in charge of the Tencent Sports LPL league came to the base to check on funding, player contracts, and team base registration, NXG's stylishly decorated three-story detached house really impressed them.

"Even WE couldn't put on such a good act as you guys!"

For NXG, the renovations are secondary. The players' priority is a clean and bright living environment, home-style but absolutely healthy and delicious meals, and even additional equipment such as air conditioning and refrigerators in the training rooms.

Based on everything he saw, especially the visibly standardized management rules in NXG's training room, frankly speaking, among so many esports clubs in China, NXG is truly among the most advanced.

Yet, this very club was actually started by a university student.

To be honest, knowledge can provide you with a lot of unexpected help when you have the ability.

"President Jiang, if we need to solicit your opinions on the development of the league in the future, I hope you will not hesitate to offer your advice."

The person in charge of the filing used honorifics and left with this remark before departing, filled with emotion.

Jiang Ming escorted the LPL staff to the outside of the base and replied with a smile, "Definitely. As participants in the LPL, we also hope that it will develop better and better."

……

Time passes day by day.

After gaining fame online, NXG no longer lacked teams wanting to schedule scrimmages with them. Furthermore, NXG's highly disciplined playstyle had a significant impact on the outside world, so teams from both China and abroad were happy to approach them from time to time.

Faced with a massive number of training matches, Jiang Ming began to intentionally reduce his team's win rate, prioritizing training and team cohesion over winning. In addition to constantly experimenting with new systems, he also added various weight training exercises for the team members, since the outcome of training matches would not affect the official competition.

Yes, let's focus on a certain esports cult that's invincible in training matches.

Riot Games owes them a championship trophy for a scrim tournament.

With his focus shifting to the team and beginning to consider the second part of his development plan, Jiang Ming welcomed the start of the LPL season amidst this fulfilling life.

October 2013, 1!
At eight o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock had only rung once, and before it could even sing its second death knell, a slender arm had already firmly pressed down on its forehead.

get up!

Jiang Ming first made his bed, then went into the bathroom, filled his glass with water, squeezed out a small amount of toothpaste, and drank it. After brushing his teeth, he started washing his hair under the half-height tap.

This is one of his unusual habits: he doesn't like to wash his hair the night before he takes a shower, so that he feels much more refreshed after drying it with a hairdryer the next morning.

I dried my hair and went to the wardrobe.

To prepare for the upcoming LPL competition, he specially commissioned the clothing supplier of the online store to make two suits.

Yesterday, Lin and I took it to the dry cleaners for a cleaning.

He slowly started putting on his shirt, admiring the effect in the mirror from left to right.

not bad.

Wearing a suit made him look even more mature.

Well, you don't need to style your hair like an adult.

Why is everyone up so early today?

After everything was done, Jiang Ming, who had spent about an hour walking down from the third floor, saw that the contestants had already gathered together in the restaurant.

Pang Ran was a little embarrassed. "I'm too excited, I can't sleep."

"Little Pangpang, it's just a main tournament, not to mention it's only a preseason tournament. Getting so excited that you can't sleep is a bit much," Song Yuan said, patting Pangpang on the shoulder.

"But Lao Song, you seemed to be tossing and turning in bed around midnight last night, and you got up at seven o'clock this morning. It seems you didn't sleep well either." The honest-looking Stone added mercilessly.

"What do you know? I'm quitting smoking recently, do you understand the complications of quitting smoking?"

"don't know!!"

"Someone once swore that Tobacco God was the soul of gamers..."

"Ahem, you misheard."

"Haha, okay, stop bickering."

Jiang Ming interrupted the group who were attacking each other, "Let's have breakfast first. We'll be on the road for quite a while, and we'll have lunch in Shanghai."

Lin Jingyi and Aunt Deng were checking the athletes' luggage, asking, "Did you bring your athlete badges and team jackets?"

"Oh no, I forgot mine under my pillow!" Xu Jing slapped his thigh suddenly. "Sister Lin, wait for me, I'll go upstairs and get it right away."

Wu Zhiqiang: "What the hell are you doing, you son of a bitch, slapping my thigh?"

"Keep the keyboard and mouse set in their packaging boxes to prevent them from getting damaged on the way," Jiang Ming reminded the peripherals staff.

The LPL officials have of course prepared corresponding keyboard and mouse equipment, but compared to their own battle partners that have been with them for months, the team members naturally prefer to use their own.

"set off!"

Outside the base gate, Uncle Zhou had already driven out the car, warmed it up, and was waiting.

A nine-seater Wuling mid-sized van, modified into a team-exclusive vehicle.

Its main selling point is that it's cheap, sturdy, and durable!
