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

Chapter 85: Did it produce a little pearl? (Bonus Chapter)
Snapped!
The sound of energy beams embedding into bodies echoed through the air of Summoner's Rift.

Caitlyn's last remaining health bar suddenly dropped to zero!
After a soft moan, the Piltover policewoman collapsed amidst the enemy soldiers.

NXG-sorry has killed ROYAL-UZI!

The commentary booth suddenly fell silent. When the camera cut to the middle lane, the policewoman, now a corpse, was lying at the feet of the blond-haired guy.

Su Xiaoyan (voice cracks): "Solo kill!"

"Sorry, the player's Ezreal actually took down the female Caitlyn in the minion wave with a Q that went through the minions!"

"It's over. With Royal Club's most crucial damage dealer down, forget about securing the dragon, it's questionable whether any of our brothers can even escape alive." Miller slammed his fist on the table. "The Weapon Master is already flanking, and the blue team is abandoning the dragon to prepare for a kill."

Outside the game, the live chat exploded instantly:

【? ? ? 】

[No way, she developed for over ten minutes, and then that big policewoman just disappeared like that?]

[It's not like the purple team is messing around with Jeremy Lin. He was low on health and went back to base to heal. They were already behind, so they gave up the dragon. But you, an ADC who's been protected by your teammates and farming resources the whole game, just come in and give up for nothing. Are you kidding me?]

[AD character dies suddenly!]

No one expected the competition to unfold in such a dramatic way.

Without Caitlyn, and with Rumble's explosive growth becoming negligible, Royal Club's remaining Fizz has insufficient damage to sustain subsequent team fights.

Everyone runs away when they see the weapon master shaking an electric fan.

Pang Ran Zyra reacted quickly, flashing and using her ultimate (R) at a narrow pass in the jungle. Her teammates behind her moved in unison, and no one paid any attention to the dragon while the support had already initiated the team fight.

royal!

Second from the left, UZI leaned back in his gaming chair, his face flushed, his eyes fixed on the dimly lit game screen in front of him, his gaze empty and blank.

He instinctively wanted to yell at Tabe for not coming to protect him.

However, in the game at this moment, because of his sudden death, his teammates are engaged in a great escape game of running and chasing.

Starting from level two in the bottom lane, Tabe had warned him beforehand that he was pushing too far into the lane and the enemy might gank him, but he confidently denied it.

The jungler teammates had been protecting the team since level three. This crucial team fight should have been a golden opportunity for the team to turn the tide. Rumble had been targeted and weakened by the enemy, and his Caitlyn was one of the team's few hopes.

But I myself...

UZI's hands rested limply on the keyboard and mouse, his fingers trembling slightly, as if he was still reliving that fatal moment.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, slowly sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the table in front of him, but they did not attract the attention of the chubby sixteen-year-old boy at all.

The urgent shouts of his teammates and the faint cheers of the audience outside his headphones sounded like they came from a distant place, vague and indistinct, unable to enter his mind.

NXG!

The three incredibly glaring letters pierced his heart, causing his heart, which had been filled with the joy of making it to the finals of TGA and winning the runner-up title right after his debut, and the humiliation of dominating countless opponents in the bot lane in ranked games, to suddenly tighten.

NXG-sorry, a 2200 MMR player who was so badly beaten in the bottom lane last season that he didn't even dare to farm minions.

Time passed by, and then he suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes turning to the passage behind the NXG team on the right.

There, UZI seemed to see a figure with arms crossed, staring at him with a calm and indifferent gaze.

It's as if they're saying, "The AD genius of the LPL."

"That's it?"

……

After a small dragon fight, Royal Club's momentum completely collapsed.

After the policewoman died, the jungler and support were also forcibly taken down by NXG, and in the end, they only paid the price with Zyra's head.

It was this kill that made the few players who supported the Royal Never Give Up team quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good that we've broken the zero mark in terms of headcount; at least we won't be completely wiped out.

NXG's performance in the qualifiers and LPL preseason has truly worried their fans.

With the situation developing like this, the five NXG players on the field didn't even get to use Song Yuan's Jax for split pushing. Just two mid-game lane rotations plus a wave of EZ and Gragas's absurd damage that instantly killed the carry was enough to practically end the game.

Jiang Ming himself was more focused on playing it safe during the draft phase. Considering that Royal Club's top, mid, and bottom lane players were all talented, after picking Jax to play a split-push strategy, he paired him with Ezreal and Zyra, a combination that is not easy to be engaged on and can group up to fight back and kite.

It's safe to say that the evolution of human beings in competitive sports is something you can never imagine. Originally used for defense and kiting, EZ and Zyra are now pushing forward, putting Royal Club under immense pressure.

Xu Jing, who had made three items, didn't even consider armor-piercing bows for his third item. With a huge advantage, the Royal Family didn't have a real tank yet, so they directly grabbed a Stormbreaker and rushed towards Bloodthirster.

Twenty minutes ago, EZ, equipped with two and a half luxurious items, didn't need much; just two hits with his Mystic Shot Q would send the squishy purple-side Royal team members screaming in pain.

Furthermore, the five members of NXG knew how to implement the tactical ideas provided by Jiang Ming. Since it was determined that the EZ who had developed ahead of the game had a significant advantage, they prioritized securing the mid lane for him.

By controlling the mid lane and constantly pushing minions to the purple side tower, Ezreal is practically invincible as long as he doesn't recklessly use his E skill.

Coincidentally, one of NXG's management rules is that players are absolutely not allowed to disregard discipline and take advantage of a situation to overextend themselves.

If you dare to act recklessly, Jiang Ming will send you, chair and all, to sit next to the water dispenser.

With impeccable discipline, a steady and methodical advance, and a weapon master who was invincible in a one-man show, the Royals' defensive towers fell one after another like dominoes.

At the 24-minute mark of the game, Royal Club had to concede their last outer turret again because Ezreal had once again depleted Royal Club's hero's health.

Miller: "The second mid-lane tower has been taken down again, and Royal Club seems to have completely lost its ability to resist."

“Yes, apart from getting two turrets during the top and bottom lane swaps in the early game, Caitlyn couldn’t even leave her own half of the map afterward, and her equipment was seriously behind.” Su Xiaoyan shook her head, “The Bloodthirster and Phantom Dancer she has now are only because her teammates desperately gave up resources.”

"It can only be said that JM, who is in charge of NXG, has once again brought us a brand new understanding of the game."

"The mid laner who isn't laning in the mid lane, the Jax who's either swapping lanes or switching lanes, and this Ezreal who doesn't follow the usual build and goes for the Manamune and Trinity Force build for terrifying damage."

Jiang Ming, who had been watching everything, softly sentenced the royal family to death: "The game can end now."

The primary culprit in this game wasn't actually the bottom lane; the ineffective Fizz and Elise mid-jungle duo were the real hidden culprits.

If the enemy can't push the lane early, allowing Gragas to coordinate with Olaf too early, and if NXG doesn't give the bot lane an opportunity, Fizz won't have a chance to farm. In that case, it's like climbing to heaven for a mediocre Fizz to achieve the assassination effect he imagined when facing a team that emphasizes teamwork.

Meanwhile, Spider was also tied up by Caitlyn in the bottom lane, and Rumble, who really needed attention, was easily crushed by the NXG team.

Finally, there was a crucial team fight around the dragon at the 15-minute mark. Xu Jing and Wu Zhiqiang's brilliant teamwork severely damaged the female police officer, followed by that seemingly destined Q through the minions.

An Ezreal who keeps spamming Qs in the face can't be dealt with, and the side lane is constantly being pushed forward by Jax. All that awaits Royal Club is the speed of their death.

At the 27-minute mark, due to the fact that the S3 Baron buff did not have a minion enhancement effect, NXG encountered a slight problem in their push against Royal Club, who were giving all their resources to Caitlyn. Unfortunately, it was only a slight problem. After the mid laner acquired Zhonya's Hourglass and the top laner acquired Trinity Force and Blade of the Ruined King, and then added Guardian Angel, the purple side's fragile high ground could no longer stop NXG.

"Wow, they're charging straight for the high ground!"

"Zyra's ultimate perfectly divides the battlefield, and Royal Club's jungle Elise is no match for Olaf at this stage."

"Waite's Fizz forced his way into the crowd to try and kill EZ, but Fizz's equipment was too poor. With Bloodthirster and Magic Resistance Cloak, EZ couldn't die at all."

"On the other hand, the royal family's female police officer couldn't survive against two devils, the Barrel and the Weapon Master!"

"The exploding barrel killed the AD carry, and Royal Club lost its most crucial sustained damage output."

Xu Jing remained calm. Even when Fizz was right in front of him, he held onto his E skill tightly until Rumble unleashed his ultimate. Only then did he use E and Flash to teleport to the other side of the battlefield.

Jiang Ming: "AD's primary task is to survive!"

He always remembered this sentence.

AQA!

W is cast in the direction of the Weapon Master, maximizing damage output for himself and his teammates.

"Of course, once you're sure your opponent has used up all their crowd control abilities, don't be cowardly. Bravely flash forward; courage will be the seventh essential item for an ADC."

"A qualified AD carry is one who can complete the tasks that the team needs to complete, but an excellent AD carry is one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of reaping the battlefield!"

Despite Xu Jing's seemingly carefree attitude, he is actually the one who cares most about what Jiang Ming says.

Because, in his eyes, a top student from Jinling University, who possessed a level of game understanding that was beyond the reach of several of them, and who could impart so much wisdom to him from the perspective of a team member, could not possibly be talking nonsense.

My oversight in item build during the previous match against BLQG left me feeling down for a long time after returning to Xujing.

Right now, EZ, who performed perfectly in team fights, has completed the task of reaping kills for the team, just as Jiang Ming described.

ACE!

At 29 minutes, NXG successfully wiped out Royal Club.

The three survivors on the high ground pressed forward and ended the game in one fell swoop.

"Another crushing victory! NXG played steadily in the early game, accelerated in the mid-game, and once they gained the advantage, they were completely unreasonable!"

Miller delivered the closing remarks he had prepared beforehand.

Su Xiaoyan: "Yes, let's congratulate NXG on defeating Royal Club and securing their first valuable victory."

"At the same time, this team continues to maintain its terrifying record of zero losses in the main competition since its establishment. Let's wish them all the best in going further."

"NXG!"

"NXG!"

"NXG!"

The instant Su Xiaoyan finished speaking, the cheers of the NXG team's fans ignited the entire venue.

"Whoosh! Ah! Ah!"

In an instant, inside the Taicang Park venue, rows of players holding NXG support items and waving various items in their hands created a very eye-catching scene.

Click!

At the entrance of the passage, Lin Jingyi couldn't help but take out her phone and snap a photo of the scene.

Looking back at the junior student leaning against the door frame not far away, I was filled with endless admiration.

Indeed, the biggest difference between people often lies in their perspective. In addition to not being able to earn money beyond their knowledge, people also cannot understand things beyond their current perspective by seeing them with their own eyes.

Looking at the five people celebrating on stage and the audience chanting NXG in unison below, Jiang Ming, who had taken off his suit jacket and hung it on his wrist, smiled even more broadly.

Winning the opening match of the LPL main event perfectly is a wonderful start for NXG.

"Junior, who will you give the MVP to in this game?" Lin Jingyi suddenly asked curiously.

Olaf's early game tempo was MVP-caliber, Gragas's ultimates in the mid lane were also key plays, Jax's split pushing, Zyra's teamfight control... wow... all five players performed so well, it's so hard to pick.

"Give it to AD!"

"In terms of game leadership, the contributions of the five players were almost equal, but EZ's Q skill in the mid-game dragon fight was invaluable."

"Therefore, it is most suitable to give it to Xiao Xu."

……

In competitive sports, there are winners and losers.

The applause for NXG's victory and the cheers from the audience were, for the members of Royal Family at this moment, an extremely painful execution.

The five people kept their heads down and remained silent, only pulling and tugging at the peripherals, quickly wrapping the connecting cables around their keyboards.

With the honor of being runner-up in the TGA Winter Tournament now a thing of the past, and the defeat in the opening match of the professional league looming, every member of the team felt an indescribable bitterness.

"Let's go!"

"Don't look anymore, puppy. We just lost this game because of our strategy," Spider, whose physique is similar to UZI's, comforted him.

"It's okay, why are you still using the 'Horse-Catching' feature?" Waiter joked. "We'll just go for level two and give them a taste of their own medicine later, okay?"

"Damn, I got wrecked by a seasoned Gragas today. I need to figure out a couple of counter-heroes when I get back. My main Fizz is getting targeted way too much."

Surrounded by people, UZI, looking dejected, bit his lip tightly.

He really wanted to say that his individual skill was no worse than the opposing AD, but he couldn't suppress EZ from start to finish the game with the help of the jungler. In the mid-game, he was even humiliatingly killed in the mid lane by a Q that went through minions. He just couldn't bring himself to say anything to cover it up.

Tabe walked at the back, glanced back at the opposite side, and his eyes met those of Jiang Ming, who was welcoming the victorious team members back.

Looking at this coach, one of the few truly talented coaches in the LPL of later generations, and setting aside the S5 esports Wang Jingwei incident, Jiang Ming, who had a fairly good impression of him, nodded slightly as a way of greeting him.

"JM!"

Upon seeing the other party's movement, Tabe quickly moved his head up and down in response.

Unlike his optimistic and stubborn teammates, Tabe, as a support player who has more time to think about the overall situation, transitioned from ranked games to the professional arena, from teammates to opponents. He realized that the terror of the man in front of him might be far more than that.

　Bonus chapter delivered, please vote for me! (Let me explain the issue of the competition. First of all, this is a business novel based on e-sports, so neither can be abandoned. Secondly, the main plot of this book is to train the entire league. Other things can be written about off-field. But when it comes to training players, nothing is more direct than playing in the competition.) Hehehe. Of course, I will definitely control the length. I hope everyone will support me. Please vote for me and keep working hard.
