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

Chapter 67 The gap is just too big!

In later professional team management, many clubs have rules prohibiting players from going to online forums or commenting during matches.

Jiang Ming would like to say that opinions vary, and different perspectives often lead to completely different results.

Admittedly, preventing players from browsing forums or reading online opinions during competitions can, to some extent, prevent their mentality from being affected by external factors.

But did the players really not know?
The contestants are certainly aware of the real-time reactions from the audience at the competition venue, as well as their private browsing on the internet.

The so-called "not watching" is nothing more than burying one's head in the sand like an ostrich.

Therefore, Jiang Ming chose to be open-minded from the beginning and treat this as part of the team's mentality training, even as the core!

Start with regular matches and get them used to the cheers and boos from the sidelines.

Due to the unique nature of communication in esports, players often wear headphones during matches to isolate themselves from real-time external interference.

In contrast, in traditional competitive sports, such as football and basketball, countless champions have climbed their way up amidst boos from their opponents' away games.

In traditional competitive sports, strong mental qualities and willpower often become the driving force for legendary athletes to break through their limits.

The two individuals grew up in completely different environments from the very beginning.

From this perspective, it becomes clear why so many esports players are so easily affected by their mental state.

And what makes you think you can reach the top of Summoner's Rift if you have a weak mentality?
"But there's no rush. NXG is still in its early stages. There's a long way to go before we can improve our mindset and other aspects of training." Jiang Ming's eyes softened. He had enough patience to help the five people who had managed to stick to the training schedule he had created for the "Non-Human Beings" series grow.

"We'll have a ten-minute halftime break. Anyone who needs to use the restroom, go ahead. After the second game, we'll need to make tactical arrangements."

"understand!"

……

Although it was called a rest, everyone just sat in chairs and leaned back for a while.

The environment for hosting the first LPL was not terrible, but it was certainly not good either.

The team's lounge had no sofa, no water dispenser, and no computer for the coach to watch the live broadcast of the game.

All they had were a few plastic stools, and they had to bring their own drinking water.

Of course, compared to the S2 era when players didn't even have a place to rest during matches, things are much better now.

NXG doesn't need to rely on the official supply line, as Jiang Ming, with his ample experience, has already taken everything into consideration.

The base vehicle's trunk is equipped not only with drinking water and chocolate snacks for sustenance, but also with some commonly used medical supplies to address the athletes' physical conditions.

Meanwhile, the second match of Group A in the stadium also started simultaneously after a short break.

Jiang Ming took out his laptop, opened the official live stream, and began to observe the other two opponents in the same group.

LGD vs DD (Duoduo Club)

As a well-known "happy family" in the LPL league, LGD is probably familiar to any domestic player in the future.

As a club founded in 2009, strictly speaking, their LOL division is far less powerful than their DOTA division. After all, back in 2011, LGD's DOTA division defeated EHOME 2-0 to win the GIGABYTE StarsWar6 Killer World Championship in June of that year, and they also won the GIGABYTE Masters championship last year.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them a powerhouse in the domestic esports scene, but for some reason, their LPL division always seems to oscillate between being a bottom-tier team and an underdog. The LPL division was established last year, but the original World Track didn't actually secure a spot in the 14 LPL until the winter of 2013, after bringing in mid-laner Wei Shen, support Pingye Ling, and others, through the TGA tournament.

As for what happened next, it can be roughly summarized as a Varus arrow that circled the earth and pierced the face of Langx, the top laner for 20 years.

In the qualifiers, LGD also had a record of four wins and two losses, only losing to WOA Dawnwing and L.H team.

As for LGD's opponent in this match, DD, Jiang Ming had almost no impression of them. The team did not make it into the LPL main tournament, and none of its players had ever left a mark on the early days of professional esports.

However, just as Jiang Ming thought that a newly formed branch team from a well-organized club would be facing off against an internet cafe team, and that it would be a match with no suspense, the old-timers displayed their fine tradition and gave the audience a huge surprise.

LGD, playing on the blue side, initially chose a seemingly promising teamfight composition during the draft phase.

A powerful offensive combination: mid lane Annie, jungle Xin Zhao, and top lane Malphite!
As a result, DD, who was on the purple side, successfully broke through, and Chu Yuxun, the jungler, used her lock-on skill to target the mid lane relentlessly.

Annie, with her short legs and lack of mobility, was facing Zed and relentless targeting from the purple team's jungler. Within just thirteen minutes of the game starting, she had already died four times in a row.

The team was at a significant disadvantage in the mid-game, and DD even managed to take down Baron Nashor and push them onto their high ground.

However, just as Jiang Ming was preparing to use DD as his opponent in the promotion zone for the draft, DD on the purple side also started playing the game of finding the sleeping dragon.

Because Baron Nashor lost one of its minion-protecting buffs during Season 3, DD's push was slow due to Varus's short range and vulnerability to being caught in Malphite's ultimate. This gave LGD's Caitlyn time to farm.

In the 33-minute Baron fight, DD's jungler Vi, who had carried the entire game, made a fatal mistake. Without clearing the vision, she led her teammates to Baron, only to be killed by Xin Zhao's three shots and flash attack, resulting in Baron Nashor being stolen.

With everyone's attention focused on Baron Nashor, this gave Annie and Malphite a perfect opportunity to initiate a team fight.

Boom!Boom!
Ultimately, with a bear and a stone calling out to the enemy's faces in quick succession, the blue team completed a stunning comeback and a stunning reversal.

【GG!】

[Hilarious, this is just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.]

Having watched NXG's matches, I honestly couldn't stand it. They dared to attack Baron even though they hadn't cleared the vision properly.

[A classic dragon can ruin a life.]

[Is DD even human? He went in with his Zed ultimate and got weakened, and then he got CC'd to death by Caitlyn's traps.]

The difference between the Hokage and ninja dogs!

[The others aren't much better. The AD carry has only a little over 200 CS after 27 minutes, and he can't even afford to buy a control ward. Look at the treatment NXG's support receives.]

[The team fights between these two teams seem really chaotic. Some players want to fight, some want to retreat; there's no unified opinion at all.]

[Hurry up with the next match, I want to watch NXG's game.]

The live broadcast of the match between the two professional teams, LGD and DD, was broadcast.

Some casual gamers finally understood why the NXG, which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was so highly praised online.

Damn, the difference is just too big.
