JM was ranked second before, so giving him Challenger outright makes perfect sense.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go, Ming-ge, knock Clearlove off! The first Challenger in China must come from our Ming family army!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streamer taking down a pro player? Just thinking about it is thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Ming went live, the YY team immediately knew. Seeing his rank after the reset, the senior staff instantly understood his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xu, send him the terms right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give him traffic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, push his livestream to the homepage. Tell the PR team—I want announcements across all platforms tomorrow showing China’s first Challenger on our YY platform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, now’s not the time to nitpick. Even if JM doesn’t change his ID, just streaming his climb to the top will generate insane attention. Minor details aren’t worth fighting over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the platform pushed hard, more and more people entered Jiang Ming’s livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to several editions of the City Rivalry Tournament, Tencent’s core QQ social network, and League of Legends’ own quality, the game had already become a nationwide phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every internet cafe, lights blazed bright—even if only one-tenth of players clicked into YY’s livestream pop-up, the number would be terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me explain the rank point calculation formula: in the new season, all players’ ELO scores are compressed and mapped to the new rank system. The formula is roughly: new hidden score = (old ladder score + 1200) \u002F 2. So the new season still has a hidden score, which affects the actual skill level of your opponents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Above 2200 points, your opponents are roughly Diamond 2 to Challenger level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then 2000 to 2200 is roughly Diamond V to Diamond II.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1800 to 2000 is Platinum V to Platinum I.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming entered ranked, waited for the match to start, and explained to his viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike in the future, when high-rank players flocked to Korea’s servers, LPL hadn’t yet suffered the 2013 All-Star humiliation, and China’s high-rank environment was still healthy—with plenty of players on the domestic server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【That’s right—I had 2120 old ladder points, got assigned Diamond 4, and after my placement matches, I might even push for Challenger.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Envious of the guy above. Fuck, why doesn’t Riot give more slots? Only fifty Challenger spots per server—way too few.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【That’s what makes it valuable, though. I heard the game company sends exclusive gifts to Challenger players at season end.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If you think you’re not good enough, go play on other servers. Server 1 is definitely god-tier battles.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming-ge, why don’t you ever talk about the Gold and Silver tiers? Are we not worthy? (Angry)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this comment, a player in the livestream joked: 【Sorry, below 1800 points, you don’t get to speak loudly!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh? You don’t get to speak loudly? What’s your rank?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【(Screenshot) Brother of the Balanced Sect, Diamond 1.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hmph, suburban Diamond. Prove your skill first—get to Gold in Server 1.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please take me along, sister’s pretty and sweet-voiced, don’t expect Challenger—just Diamond is fine.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the chat go off-track, Jiang Ming quickly steered it back: “Cough, no need to argue—focus on climbing. Today, I’ll compile a list of the best champions for climbing each role.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, and just as the match loaded, the chat fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the new season, players had been eager to play placement matches. Now, with Jiang Ming’s promise, no one had any other thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, gifts flooded the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Responding to me gifted the streamer one excavator】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai free shipping gifted the streamer two excavators】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fat Boy’s Happy Water gifted the streamer one hundred health potions】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Responding to me, for the excavator! Thank you, Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai free shipping… and thank you all, big brothers, for the gifts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the earth-yellow tractor animation rolled across the screen, accompanied by a “putt-putt” diesel engine sound, filling the entire room, Jiang Ming was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the future, where fake high-value gifts flew everywhere. On YY, the excavator was worth a hundred yuan each—rarely seen even once every few days. Most gifts were scattered flowers, applause, or one-yuan health potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, got JM in this match?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the WE base, a curly-haired player quickly glanced at the chat while playing ranked, spotting a familiar ID.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His duo partner frowned. “Our ranks are all similar—how’d we get matched with this freak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matchmaking system usually kept both sides balanced. Why were three top-ranked players suddenly grouped together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I’m on the other side…” Suddenly, Ming Kai, seated across from them, spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been ranked #1 in China’s ladder after the season ended!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the #1 was on the enemy side, and a few other high-rank players were on their team, having a top-three mid laner on their side was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect chance to test how well JM adapts to the new season. Ming Kai, focus on ganking mid—don’t come down to our bot lane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming Kai checked his team’s composition. Their mid laner was Cool from OMG—roughly equal skill level. This game would give him plenty of room to shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue side didn’t ban Ahri?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple side players were puzzled—did they not know JM was on the enemy team? Otherwise, why didn’t they ban the Shadow Assassin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Assassin had been out for nearly a week. Among high-rank players, a common opinion had formed: “The Shadow Assassin is an extreme assassin. If he doesn’t gain early advantage, he’s easily countered, and his weakness in teamfights is heavily exploited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that applied only to players with low mastery. JM was a freak who mastered a new hero the very next day and went wild in 2300-point games. Letting an unnerfed new hero out like this—wasn’t that overconfident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey Ming Kai, you guys aren’t banning Ahri?” the curly-haired player leaned over to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to tutorial videos, players across China—both casual and high-rank—were quietly starting to call JM “China’s #1 Ahri.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cool thinks he can handle it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ranked, champion bans flew fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue side bans: Cassiopeia, Shen, Jayce!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple side bans: Malzahar, Thresh, Twisted Fate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pick phase, blue side’s first pick gave Ming Kai the Blind Monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ming Kai picked the Blind Monk!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1076,"2026-06-20T04:16:26.320Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ea5b1cbeb1754c9b3c21316c88785de0862f80564ba6205e51a6059cd55ccd46","reborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-chapter-17","reborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-chapter-15",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-cover.jpg"]
