After all, the preseason results will be displayed anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Won’t that be too fast? What about WE?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, they haven’t even played their matches yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, that Pei Le—he’s kind of stingy. A world champion team has less buzz than this brand-new squad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And from watching their qualifying matches, NXG’s strength is top-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not to mention hardware—NXG even has a team bus. WE’s players still have to take the subway to matches…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our boss Pei would never have imagined that in the new season, his frugality would lead to a betrayal by the LPL organizers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Player bench, BLQG side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the massive skill gap before them, several players skipped the bravado and whispered reassurances, slipping straight into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough—guys, we haven’t even played yet. Don’t scare ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a scrappy team like ours can pull off an upset against the big names—doesn’t every web novel say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As captain and the highest-ranked player, NovaSlash struggled to rally the team’s morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to be done—bad luck. He’d drawn the big demon of the qualifiers right at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, novels say that only when there’s a hidden master on the team playing dumb—do we have one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, we can’t lose our spirit. Spirit, you get it? Even if we die, we die fighting head-on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll tell you what—we’ve cooked up a super lineup these past few days. If we execute well, we still have a shot at taking down NXG. They’re blowing up online right now—if we win today, overnight fame isn’t a dream!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me you’re watching Jiang Ming’s S3 analysis tutorials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the brief equipment calibration ended, the referee’s voice announced the teams were being loaded into the match room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the LPL preseason, though not yet the official tournament, the match preparation process had improved significantly compared to the qualifiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>NXG-door: “NXG is ready!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BLQG-NovaSlash: “BLQG is ready too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both captains confirmed readiness on the chat channel, the head referee launched the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first match of the 2013 LPL Preseason, double-elimination group stage, officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue side: NXG. Purple side: BLQG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ban their ADC’s Ezreal first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming’s tactical board was never for show—the A4 papers clipped to it were filled with data on NXG’s opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a lion uses full strength against a rabbit. BLQG’s strongest player is their ADC; any player who can climb to Master rank with ADC in this era is clearly a gifted mechanic. Ezreal, with his strong survivability and the player’s familiarity with him, was the top ban priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuan nodded at the first pick, found Ezreal’s icon, and sent him to the ban list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… my Ezreal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wail echoed from the purple side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, if NovaSlash’s signature champion was banned, he might feel flattered, thinking the enemy feared his carry power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, facing an opponent far superior, this ban meant they were going all-out—leaving him not a single opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, BLQG had to ban the support, Thresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since this new support—combining engage, crowd control, and shield rescue—emerged, he became the top pick for bottom-lane supports across all ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skilled, powerful mechanics!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>NovaSlash, who had studied NXG, knew they couldn’t let the enemy’s support commander get this hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first three picks didn’t take long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the in-game latency settled, the final ban for the purple side—Barrel—was confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>NXG picks Lee Sin first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the current jungle meta king, before champions like Mantis and Leopard Girl joined the jungle roster, Lee Sin was unquestionably worth a first pick in every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue side picking jungle first also reduced the chance of being countered by the later pick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the purple side, lacking tactical guidance, had no coherent BP strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their first two picks were Ashe and Janna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Janna plus Ashe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A classic S3 push combo—without Thresh, Janna could still handle some counterplay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of composition, BLQG showed a hint of professional team discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the crowd nor the opponents could have imagined that, mid-match, Jiang Ming—the enemy—would pause to comment on their draft choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pick Wind Sister and Vel’Koz!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the enemy had revealed their duo, there was no need to hide—meet them head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Sister’s shield effectively countered Janna’s poke, and Vel’Koz wouldn’t be under much pressure against Ashe in lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple side picked Lee Sin as jungler and Kaisa as top laner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kaisa, Jiang Ming couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously? Picking Kaisa against Wind Sister? Even with Lee Sin’s ultimate terrain control, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such an oddball draft from the opponent, Jiang Ming abandoned any plan to surprise them with novel picks in the fourth and fifth slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked in Teemo and Twisted Fate—two universally reliable picks.\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-20T04:16:26.320Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9fee75345c25e3daa0ed662330eadc02fdba4299fcc65ce25137d872bba239ff","reborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-chapter-60","reborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-chapter-58",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-s3-training-the-entire-league-cover.jpg"]
