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

Chapter 94 Young Master Wang: Brother, I want to too!

"Hajiqiang, hurry up, are you really going to defend the house?"

March 30th, LPL regular season week three.

The NXG team, preparing to head to the LPL venue, boarded the base vehicle. Song Yuan stuck his head out of the field and shouted to the mid-laner who was going back to his room on the second floor to get his player badge.

Oh, today it should be said that the substitute mid laner is the one who will start, as Jiang Ming, the coach and owner, is preparing to start.

This is why Wu Zhiqiang left things behind; he had always thought that as a substitute, his task today was simply to act as a "left-behind child" at the base.

But in the words of Song Yuan, this dog Hajiqiang's ID is yihan (regret), which would be a bad omen if the other party were left in the base.

Even if it's just as a pendant or mascot, you still have to wear it.

Without keeping everyone waiting, Wu Zhiqiang quickly ran from the first floor to the second floor, and even after getting his things, it took him less than two minutes to jump back into the car.

"Hold on tight, let's go!"

Uncle Zhou, in the driver's seat, laughed heartily and steadily completed the gear shift and start-up.

In the few months since he arrived at NXG, his salary has been paid on time, and he has been provided with food and accommodation, not to mention the food is good. He is also with a group of young people who don't have any deep thoughts, so he feels like he has become several years younger.

Her partner, Lao Deng, complains every day that with such a small workload, she's eating so well and might gain weight.

Humans are just inherently base.

When I was living hand to mouth, I thought having a stable job would be heaven. Now that I have a stable job with decent pay, I'm actually starting to worry about gaining weight.

Xiao Jiang is very capable and kind-hearted; he deserves to make a lot of money.

"President Jiang, I am very sorry. It is my responsibility that I did not remind the contestants properly today."

On the way, Chen Muxin, who had just joined the NXG club as a team leader, felt a little guilty. As the team leader, the fact that the team members had not brought their player ID cards was equivalent to her dereliction of duty.

“It’s okay!” Jiang Ming, who was also wearing the NXG team uniform, raised his hand and interrupted Chen Muxin’s next words. “When we signed the contract, I said that I would give you a week of competition time to get familiar with the work of the e-sports club. As long as you don’t make any fundamental mistakes during this week, we won’t hold you responsible for any problems.”

Jiang Ming is also gradually accumulating experience in figuring out how to become a qualified team leader.

A fat person isn't made overnight, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Everyone goes through a growth process. He believes that giving people more opportunities would make the world a more harmonious place.

In terms of corporate culture, he learned from professors who owned companies outside the college, introduced by his teacher; of course, it wasn't some so-called wolf culture, that kind of thing is just for fun. Many people only know that Huawei does this kind of thing, but they don't even think about what kind of treatment they receive. Besides, he's a reborn person, and he'd be ashamed to still need that kind of thing to manage people.

He wanted to build a unique concept that, in the future business landscape of NXG, would ensure that the compensation was no less than that of its peers, while emphasizing a humanistic corporate culture based on standardized management. Many of Pang Donglai's concepts were worth his reference.

There's a saying that goes, "You can never earn all the money in the world." Sometimes, the more stingy you are, the more money will flow out of your pocket. Conversely, the more you give, the more money will be willing to go into your pocket.

"Hehe, relax. When I first started dealing with these things, I was also overwhelmed." Lin Jingyi chuckled and comforted her senior. "If I were as tense as you are all the time, I probably would have been fired long ago."

Chen Muxin glanced at Jiang Ming and Lin Jingyi, who were sitting in the middle of the base vehicle, speaking to her in an equal tone as if they were old friends. She reminded herself, "Junior, we're not the same..."

However, Chen Muxin is ultimately a top student from Jinling University. Although being a team leader is only one of her jobs, her meticulous nature and pursuit of excellence still urge her to raise her standards.

An hour later, the base vehicle successfully arrived at the LPL competition venue located in Taicang Industrial Park.

Thanks to the exchange between Jiang Ming and Wang Gongzi on Weibo the day before yesterday, the audience at the scene today can only be described as a sea of ​​people.

Originally, tickets for the LPL match venue were sold out, but in order to accommodate this huge influx of people, LPL made an emergency effort to add seats on the second floor, in various aisles, and even near the stage, squeezing out hundreds of seats.

Having over two thousand, nearly three thousand spectators watching the game live was something the LPL league organizers never dared to imagine when they first started organizing the event.

It's worth noting that in the days leading up to the start of the league, they even planned to send buses to pick up viewers who were affected by transportation difficulties and bring them to the venue, all in an effort to attract more people to the newly established LPL.

Now, the venue is complaining that it has too few seats.

All I can say is that JM and his NXG are incredibly well-rounded when it comes to esports.

Wow, NXG!

"NXG!"

"Look over here, good luck in today's game!"

"Sorry, you're super cool."

"Norsha, I want to see you play Rambo!"

The base vehicle circled around and arrived at the exclusive parking space reserved for the team at the competition venue.

The parking space is very spacious.

Well, the main thing is that nowadays there aren't many clubs that just arrange for their players to be placed on the base vehicle like they do.

"When you get off the bus, please tidy up your clothes and check each other to make sure you're not disheveled." Although there was a minor hiccup when we set off today, it didn't affect Chen Muxin's professionalism. She quickly took on the role of team leader and reminded her team members of various precautions. "There are a lot of audience members here today. The organizers have arranged cosplay and live streaming outside the venue. Please be careful about your behavior when interacting with fans."

“When the camera is pointed at you, if the advertiser’s logo is covered up, hold the backpack in your hand or hand it to me and Uncle Zhou.”

Pang Ran, who was sitting by the door, jumped out of the car first with his bag in hand. However, whether it was because there was a hole in the cement ground or because he wanted to show off by landing on one foot, Pang Ran swayed twice and almost fell flat on his face.

Click!

At that moment, the cameras that the officials had prepared beforehand, as well as the audience's mobile phones, all pointed in the direction where the NXG team was located.

Pang Ran: "┭┮﹏┭┮"

A person can die, but at least they shouldn't die a societal death!
Fortunately, although there were a few scattered laughs among the crowd, there was no loud mockery.

After the others got off the bus, they waved and greeted the camera and their fans.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for your support."

"We will continue to work hard."

Having experienced the joy of being admired, all the team members wore genuine smiles and, when there was enough time, did their best to fulfill the fans' requests for photos.

Jiang Ming didn't neglect one thing for another. After exchanging a few words with the fans at the scene, he came in front of the official live broadcast camera, gave a thumbs up, and said, "And viewers in the live broadcast room, don't forget to cheer for us!"

[It's all wrapped up!]

[Oh ho, I can see the team uniform under the suit.]

[Hehehe, it wasn't for nothing that I stayed up so long in front of the computer. JM's first outdoor live stream, I've got to accept it!] [Please don't be so gay!]

[Charge! Charge! Charge! Let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood!]

[Haha, everyone go check Weibo, Young Master Wang is at the LPL event too!]

[Wang: You bastards, trying to use my Instagram to establish your authority, huh? Today I'll crush you all without using my money.]

[We must win! If IG wins today, everyone will get 1000 RMB!]

【You're looking down on our young CEO Wang. Ten thousand each, okay?】

[Are you all talking about the feud between the two companies, while I've been focusing on the snack ads plastered all over NXG?]

[I'm looking at Youchen pork floss cakes, Panpan mini bread rolls, Daliyuan pies, Three Squirrels...slurping, damn, it's making me hungry.]

Among these two companies, YY and Logitech seem out of place.

Jiang Ming never expected that Wang Sicong would actually come to the LPL match venue because of a Weibo conversation.

I was really startled when I saw the other person in the IG lounge, which was only a dozen steps away, after walking through the backstage passage.

However, considering how much fun and hobbies the other party has had these past few years, it's not impossible that they would personally come to oversee the battle for IG, which they have invested so much effort in.

"Oh, I didn't really come here to fight you, why are you avoiding me like this?"

Upon seeing Jiang Ming, Wang Sicong's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he dragged Jiang Ming into the IG lounge.

The remaining NXG members were at a loss.

"You guys go to the lounge and get ready, I'll be there in a bit."

Helped into the room, Jiang Ming could only force a smile. It seemed that the other party knew his personality after several exchanges on Weibo, which was why they acted so casually.

However, there's nothing wrong with establishing some interaction with the other party. If someone is willing to take you to something and even offers you a ticket, of course they won't refuse.

"Let me introduce you. Although you may all know each other, this is my esports empire: top laner PDD, jungler Shadow, mid laner Zz1tai, and bot laner Kid and XiaoXiao."

"Jiang Ming, online ID—JM, is the head of NXG eSports Club."

After escaping from Wang Sicong's grasp, Jiang Ming introduced himself and extended his hand to his upcoming opponents. "We've met many times in ranked matches, but this is the first time we've met in person."

"No, they're all idiots, shake hands."

Wang Sicong slapped his head, and seeing that the people in the room didn't react for a long time, he complained.

Compared to the NXG team members, he just wants to crawl into a hole and disappear.

When we guys chat casually, we brag like crazy, but when we meet in person, our confidence is completely crushed and our brains freeze.

In the end, it was PDD and Xiaoxiao, two players with decent emotional intelligence, who were the first to react. They wiped their hands on their legs and then, quite comically, clasped hands together.

As for the others, Shadow lived up to his name by being taciturn, Kid had a simple and honest smile, and the last one was still a shy young man who hadn't yet transformed into an abstract artist, perhaps having met his older sister.

Jiang Ming understood their mindset.

This is a common situation in the e-sports circle. When these teenagers, who are still labeled as internet addicts by the outside world, suddenly find themselves in front of a peer who is more academically accomplished, better at games, and even has a higher social status than them, it is only natural for them to have their brains go blank.

"Brother, to be honest, I did come here today because I have something to discuss with you."

After standing in the room staring at each other for a minute or two, Wang Sicong, unable to find anything to talk about, simply pulled Jiang Ming aside and started a game of truth or dare.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Jiang Ming, who knew perfectly well what was going on, pretended not to know and acted dumb.

Wang Sicong stroked his chin, clearly conflicted. "How should I put it?"

Are you suggesting I just say, "Brother, I'm envious of your NXG club's high-end operating model. Can you give my IG a similar one?"

Then, seeing that you can play in the game, I want to too, bro. I play AD carry, I'm unkillable!
He enjoys playing esports and doesn't care about what others think, but if there's a way to make esports more acceptable to outsiders, why not do it?

However, since this concerns the very foundation of the club, asking directly would be too presumptuous.

"Oh dear, it's hard to explain in a short time. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner after the competition today, and we can talk about it there."

Jiang Ming flashed a bright smile, "Okay!"

Fish, hooked!
……

"Dear viewers, welcome to our live broadcast of the 2013 League of Legends Spring Split. This is the LPL match venue in Taicang, Suzhou."

"Hello everyone, this is commentator Miller."

Miller, dressed in a standard black suit jacket and white shirt, read his opening remarks to the camera.

Joker and the female commentator Xiaolou were sitting on the left and right sides, respectively.

"Today is the third week of our LPL Spring Split. Over the past two weeks, eight teams have engaged in fierce competition. Currently, IG is ranked first in the standings with three wins and zero losses. OMG, WE, Royal Club, and PE are ranked second with two wins and one loss each. NXG also has two wins." Xiao Lou, as a female commentator, took the initiative to report the data despite her lack of gaming expertise. "Of course, NXG only played one match last week, so their total number of matches is less than the other top-ranked teams."

"We have seen that IG is in very hot form after the preseason. After defeating WE in the opening match, they went on to defeat OMG and WOA. They must be determined to win today's match."

"But today's opponent is no pushover!" Joker said in a complicated tone.

He wasn't some kind of jinx; he genuinely felt a chill run down his spine regarding the NXG team led by Jiang Ming.

From the preseason to now, they have won all four games, and all of them were crushing victories. All their statistics are skyrocketing. If you include the server championship, it's even more incredible.

“Yes!” Miller continued, “NXG, who have been undefeated so far, have even made personnel changes today.”

“The complete form!” Xiao Lou suddenly added.

"That's right. In the previous NXG official Weibo post, they made it clear that head coach JM would be the team's starting mid laner to face IG."

At this moment, the director also simultaneously displayed data charts for each team.

Except for the mid lane, NXG is far ahead in all other positions.

"Ahem, everyone, please don't misunderstand. This is NXG-JM's first appearance of the season, so there's no information about him on the leaderboard." Miller quickly explained, worried that first-time viewers might not understand, "In the Chinese server's ranked matches, JM has consistently been number one!"
