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

Chapter 86 No, you guys even take on post-match interviews?

"Well played, lads!"

Jiang Ming generously gave a thumbs-up to the victorious soldiers.

Among the five, ADC Xu Jing was the most important. Last time, the kid won the game and was criticized a little. This time, he finally received recognition, and his eyebrows danced as he smiled.

"Old Xu, mind your image! Your aloof god persona is completely shattered," the support character Pang Ran teased when he saw Da Dan's goofy grin.

"You're going up on stage for the post-match interview, and as our representative of NXG, you can't let yourself down."

After the match was over and the heroes' damage output was reviewed, the other four players already knew who would be interviewed after today's opening match.

A hint of envy flickered in Song Yuan's eyes.

He's the kind of person who likes to show off, but in the match just now, there was no other way. Before he could even unleash his full potential as the Weapon Master, his opponent couldn't hold on any longer.

I feel so sad and want to cry!

The mid-lane duo didn't react much; their personalities naturally made them uninterested in interviews. It was only when the mid-laner needed to participate in command and information feedback that Wu Zhiqiang stopped being silent as before.

Instead of wasting time, why not watch some dance videos of girl groups?

Hey!

"Okay, get ready. You can collect the stones, that's all." Jiang Ming gave a precise answer. AD's performance was undeniable. Whether it was the laning phase in the bottom lane or the poke before team fights in the mid-game, his incredibly accurate [Mystic Shot] was the key to breaking through Royal Club's formation.

"Just follow the interview etiquette as you were taught at the club. You can go backstage now and discuss the questions you want to ask with the host. The host's ID is BaoBao, and her real name is Fu Ruozhen. Be sweet and call her Sister Fu in private."

"Don't worry, she won't make things difficult for you."

Among the five members of NXG, Xu Jing always had an energetic and self-satisfied air about him, so Jiang Ming worried that he would let himself go on stage and gave him another warning.

"Alright, alright... Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble, Ming-ge." Xu Jing gave a military salute on the spot and made a serious promise.

Song Yuan couldn't stand this showy, clowning behavior any longer, so he kicked him from behind. "Brother Ming already told you to go find the host, why are you still standing here?"

"Damn it, you're just jealous of me!"

"Who's jealous of you? I just don't want to be late for dinner."

"Hehe, Lao Song, you're just jealous of me, jealous that I got the team MVP in the opening game, right?"

Arriving at the door, Xu Jing grinned and made a face at Song Yuan.

"Ahem, everyone else pack your things. You can watch the post-match interviews live in the car. We'll wait outside." Lin Jingyi, as the team leader, stepped forward to assign tasks.

Being around this group of esports players gave her a feeling somewhat like taking care of her younger siblings at home.

NXG didn't schedule any post-match interaction with fans today. Firstly, the support items distributed at the entrance before the match and the massive NXG fan club inside the venue were already eye-catching enough, so there was no need to add anything more.

Secondly, the main focus of today's post-match event is WE. No matter how much traffic NXG has online, it's all just a mirage and can't compare to the value of having a world championship title.

"I'll wait for Xu Jing backstage so we can go together."

After everyone packed their things, Pang Ran offered to wait for his partner in the lounge, saying, "We'll come over together after his interview is over."

"can!"

Lin Jingyi sent a message to a junior student in the venue who was socially awkward, asking him to bring two other female junior students to meet in front of the base vehicle.

"To be honest, it's fortunate that we bought the mid-range model of our base vehicle, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to fit so many people."

Jiang Ming: "Don't worry, in less than a year, we can get an even bigger base vehicle—and the base itself too."

……

On the other side, after leaving the team's rest room, Xu Jing quickly followed the road signs to the location of the waiting area.

He was positioned in an area in front of the stage, near the audience seats, where a simple table and a few chairs were set up, with an LPL logo on the table.

Behind the table is a background wall, through which you can see the warehouse wall that hasn't been decorated much. On the left and right sides of the wall, there are also some League of Legends posters and tournament promotional pictures to cover up the flaws.

The lights weren't particularly bright, just enough to illuminate the interview area. Behind the light stood a figure, the host from the 13 LPL.

BaoBao!

"Hello host, I'm Sorry from NXG. Please take good care of me during the interview."

As Xu Jing approached, he realized that the other person didn't seem to have noticed him yet. He recalled the etiquette tips his etiquette teacher had taught him, mustered his courage, and took the initiative to greet them.

"Ah...excuse me...hello, hello sorry player, I'm Baobao, the host of today's post-match interview!"

Startled, Bao Bao quickly responded, her light pink dress swaying from side to side.

"Hello, Sister Fu, could you tell me about the questions for the post-match interview beforehand?"

Xu Jing then explained, "So I can prepare."

"no problem!"

For a moment, Bao Bao's brain went blank. She blinked her beautiful eyes and instinctively handed the cue card to the other person before she realized what was happening.

Wait...wait, something seems off about the script.

Why does it seem like he's the host and I'm the one being interviewed?

Are all the NXG players this professional?
Baobao's face twitched involuntarily as he compared his past interviews with WE and IG players with his current ones, feeling as if the two styles were from completely different worlds.

Recalling the various reports about NXG that she had seen online before, she realized that netizens' understanding of NXG's boss, JM, was still superficial.

Xu Jing, who was intently looking at the questions on the cue card, had no idea that the older woman opposite him could have such a rich inner world in just a few dozen seconds.

"Thoughts on winning the game..."

"My thoughts on my own performance and my opponent's performance during the match..."

"Considerations on key operations... Opponent's assessment... Future outlook..."

"Hmm, the questions are pretty much the same as what Ming-ge said." Xu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite his boastful remarks in front of his sons in the team, he still gets a little nervous when he's actually in the interview booth.

Now that I realize the problems are all things I've already been trained on, I feel much calmer.

"Okay, I've finished watching." "Then we're getting ready to go on stage."

Suppressing her shock at how familiar and poised the NXG players were with the post-match interviews, her professionalism as a presenter allowed her to quickly regain her composure and step into the spotlight.

The director's instructions then appeared in the headset.

"Hello Summoners, good afternoon. This is the post-match interview for the 2013 Spring Split of League of Legends." Baobao calmly introduced himself, then looked to his right, "Standing next to me is AD Sorry from the NXG team."

"Good afternoon, Summoners! I'm a member of NXG, playing the ADC role in the bottom lane!" Xu Jing smiled and looked at the camera as he raised the microphone that a staff member had handed him.

As soon as the interview signal came out, several team members sitting in the base vehicle outside the venue, watching the live broadcast on Jiang Ming's computer, also saw the screen.

Song Yuan's head almost touched the screen. "Damn it, this bastard really got away with it."

In the shot, Xu Jing's profile is sculpted into a sharp arc by soft light, revealing a light mole at the corner of his left eye, like a drop of ink on his fair skin.

Her jawline tapered into a clear arc, and her Adam's apple slid gently with each swallow, casting a faint shadow on her pale skin.

The worst thing about people is comparison. People subconsciously compared Xu Jing, who was wearing the NXG team uniform, to Xiao Xiao, who was from IG, who won the previous match, during an interview...

Well, just looking at the footage, you simply can't believe they're in the same frame.

【? ? ? 】

[I've wandered into the wrong live stream! What kind of celebrity audition is this?]

[NXG's AD carry is ridiculously good-looking. Does this mean JM has added a "looks-first" criterion to their hiring process?]

[JM: With such a handsome boss, it's hard to be presentable if the players aren't good-looking.]

I think Sorry is more handsome than PDD. Anyone agree or disagree?

[Sorry, buddy, are you trying to insult me ​​like this?]

To be fair, while we're jokingly calling the five members of the NXG team a tall, short, fat, thin, and handsome group, each of them is actually quite good-looking, at least much better looking than IG's "Fat Head Monk".

I think the main reason is that JM (the game developer) manages the players' image, preventing them from looking greasy at first glance.

[I'm a fan now! NXG truly has both good looks and talent.]

[The WE team was always marketing how handsome Strawberry and Smile were, but it turns out the real handsome guy in the LPL is someone else entirely. Hilarious!]

[You shouldn't say that, buddy upstairs, or you'll get bombarded with criticism.]

"The first question we want to ask Sorry today is, how do you feel right now that you've been able to defeat Royal Club, who made it to the TGA finals, and who was the best player on the team?" Baobao asked the prepared question.

"We are all very happy to have won the first game and earned a valuable point for the club." Xu Jing's expression remained unchanged, with a standard smile on his face. "As for being the best player in the team, I think I owe more to the help of my teammates. In the early game, our jungler ganked once at level two, and then in the mid-game, I had a good space to perform under Zyra's protection."

In terms of language, do not compete for credit or claim credit!

This is the most crucial piece of advice Jiang Ming gave him before the match: the game is there, and how much you contribute during the match cannot be erased or ignored under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Competing only highlights your individuality. LOL is a team game. If you're so great, try taking on five opponents without your teammates' help. Don't rely on your teammates' protection and consume the team's resources, only to win and then say it's all your doing.

Wow, is NXG's bot laner really this tactful?

I picked at my ears, but I still felt like I was hallucinating.

[PDD: Winning feels great, just keep going...]

[There's no harm in comparison without contrast. JM, didn't you tell me Jinling University teaches this?]

[JM: Basic procedure, everyone sit down. It's been so long, you should get used to the uniqueness of our NXG.]

Offstage, a few members of the royal family who hadn't yet left lingered in a corner, looking at the interview area with envious eyes.

“I think what the puppy said makes a lot of sense,” Spider-Man suddenly said.

UZI: ? ? ?
No, why are you telling me this?

However, before UZI could say anything, Tabe analyzed seriously, "Sorry is right. Although we were hit hard by his EZ, Olaf's gank at level 2 and the mid-game restrictions on Uzi and Caitlyn by Gragas and Jax were also crucial."

"That Zyra is annoying too." Wu Wukai also joined the crusade. "Every time I go in, she either weakens me or uses crowd control. I can't even use my E skill to keep her alive. Without E, I can't kill EZ at all."

Shenchao gave a comprehensive review: "NXG's strength lies in their terrifying teamwork. All five players are extremely disciplined, and in team battles, it's as if there are no disagreements at all. Even if it's wrong, they will execute the plan first."

Shenchao, who had his turret breached countless times by the opponent, deeply felt this.

UZI didn't know why he felt a tightness in his chest, and said with a touch of arrogance, "He's just relying on his teammates!"

"What, is Doggo planning to beat us in the next match without us? I just passed by their rest area and heard that JM will be playing in the later matches himself." Waiter said deliberately, his eyebrows twitching. "That JM is much more monstrous than this Yihan today. Let me tell you, I can't guarantee I can keep an eye on him."

UZI: "Emmm, Brother Liu, I'm still counting on you."

……

The baby's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he even seemed a little incredulous at his ears.

No, could a gamer who just graduated from junior high school have said something like that?
Suddenly realizing something, Bao Bao glanced at the passage on her left. Well, if it was JM who had trained the players before the competition, it seemed quite normal.

"The next question comes from a comment on our TGA forum. Sorry player, we have seen that in the game, NXG players are often able to arrive at the dragon area or other battlefields where a clash is about to occur before their opponents, and they are also very familiar with the enemy's vision. Can you tell us how they do it?"

"Study hard and practice diligently!" Xu Jing blurted out.

The grueling training of the past few months flashed through his mind, and the boy's face showed a rare maturity. "We would memorize the refresh time of each resource point and the possible placement of the opponent's wards over and over again until it became muscle memory."

Upon hearing this, the audience at the scene and the chat room fell into a brief silence.

[Through repeated training, I developed muscle memory. I understood every word he said, but when combined, it all felt so unfamiliar.]

Is this still playing a game?

[You're bragging, aren't you? You even memorized every resource spawn point. What can you do if I just randomly place wards?]

But isn't this precisely where the difference lies between professional players and us?

　The extra chapter is delivered. As for the comments about the competition, first of all, this book is based on e-sports, which is something that cannot be abandoned. I can only guarantee that I will not write a lot about it except for necessary competitions.

　　These chapters about fighting the royal family are just for the initial training of Uzi. I can only say that I try to balance things out, and every reader has their own parts they want to see.

　　Please give me a chance. I don't want to change the outline casually, which has resulted in this book being written in a mess.
