With sheer skill. With clean execution. Out in the open, fair and square. Don't cower like a turtle when you see them.
Easy for you to say.
Do you know how strong the Korea Team is?
Do you understand the pressure of the S6 LCK?
Factory Director and viewers across the internet saw Xu Cheng's reply and immediately started grumbling to themselves.
It sounded rousing, but... what good would it do?
You think you can do better?
Of course.
Factory Director definitely didn't dare talk to Xu Cheng like that now. The other guy would probably just give him a week... no, two weeks, and that would be the end of him.
Putting on a fawning smile, he said: "The big brother's right! Absolutely right, bro!"
"Since you understand this so well, I suppose the only one who can beat the Korea Team is you, big brother?"
"Me? I can't."
Xu Cheng had a clear understanding of his own ability:
"I can't even beat the top fifty players on the CN Server. I can't hold a candle to the pro players, so how am I supposed to take on the Korea Team?"
Factory Director rolled his eyes at that and nearly passed out from anger all over again.
Damn it.
You can't beat the top fifty on the CN Server? You can't hold a candle to pro players?
And those pro gods...
You've been wiping the floor with Uzi and me!
People out there are already hailing you as the future hope of the LPL!
And you're still calling yourself weak?
Just then.
Xu Cheng seemed to realize that what he'd said made him sound a little pathetic.
The main thing was, what if Big Sucker thought he was too weak and refused to pay?
"Of course, I can still teach you, Xiao Kai. Today, I'll teach you how to play Lee Sin!"
[...]
"Then, big brother, let's get started."
[Bro! We're rich now!]: "Okay."
"But can we talk about this? Could you teach me someone other than Lee Sin?"
Factory Director had been badly rattled by what Xu Cheng had said earlier. Right now, he just wanted to stay far away from Lee Sin, and never see him again for the rest of his life...
"Sure."
Xu Cheng agreed without asking why.
"How about Camille, then?"
"That works."
As they chatted, they queued into a match.
The viewers in the livestream, the alternate accounts from various Clubs, and other people in the scene all waited expectantly—
They wanted to see what Data Monster's mechanics actually looked like.
They'd seen him play before, but only a few times. That wasn't enough to draw any conclusions.
"Big brother, Camille is a brand-new champion, and I'm not too familiar with her either. Have you played her before?"
A moment later, Xu Cheng replied:
"A few times, I guess."
Seeing how vague Xu Cheng was, Factory Director immediately misunderstood—
Looks like this big brother's checking her skills again...
"Hahaha, that familiar way of answering. Here you go again, huh?"
"Seriously, Camille's new and she's really hard to play. I tried her yesterday, and her E skill felt so hard to control."
"This new champion doesn't seem that fun..."
Camille had only just been released. Not only the viewers, but even the pros hadn't figured her out yet.
Judging by her skill set, they only vaguely suspected she would become a popular pick in the Professional Arena someday.
Factory Director didn't expect Xu Cheng to have a deep understanding of her. He'd picked Camille earlier just to give Xu Cheng a hard time...
But that didn't matter anymore. They could just mess around.
Who knew that Factory Director would be stunned by Xu Cheng's mechanics before long.
After they hit level three, the enemy jungler ran into their jungler. Both mid laners and top laners came to help, and a small Team Fight broke out in the upper river.
In the end, Factory Director did everything he could, but still couldn't catch the enemy Lee Sin, who was nearly dead.
Just as he thought there was no chance of getting the kill,
Camille shifted back and to the side to adjust her position, then started with her first E—
With a whoosh, her Grappling Hook caught the enemy jungle wall at its maximum range.
Camille soared into the air. The instant she reached the wall, she used Flash.
Boom!
She crossed the wall and hooked again with her Second E.
Over the second wall!
Her kick landed perfectly on Lee Sin, who had already made it below his team's blue buff!
The kick connected, and he fell.
[Bro! We're rich now!] killed [I'll Aim My Giant Cannon at the Sky!]
???
"Holy crap! What was that?!"
Factory Director stared, completely dumbfounded.
From his perspective, Camille had looked like she could teleport.
In the blink of an eye, she'd gone straight from the river to below the enemy team's blue buff!
Then she'd kicked the nearly dead Lee Sin to death.
She'd moved three times, crossed two walls, and covered a thousand units—nearly half the screen...
What kind of crazy move was that?
How had he never seen it before?
It wasn't just him. The viewers in the livestream and the pro players lurking there were all stunned, too.
[What just happened?]
[Holy crap, Camille can fly!]
[Wasn't that E? Why did she go so far?]
[She used E flash, right? But even E flash shouldn't send her that far. How far was that? Camille just disappeared off the screen!]
"Big brother, what did you just do?"
"E flash E."
"E flash E?"
Factory Director searched his memory, but couldn't think of anyone who'd ever pulled off an E flash E.
Which meant...
Factory Director's mouth fell open. "Did you come up with that yourself?"
Come up with it himself?
Xu Cheng paused, then asked, confused, "You didn't know about that move?"
"No. And I don't think any players know it yet."
"That can't be right. It's such a simple move, and nobody's done it? You just need hands to pull it off."
Xu Cheng was completely taken aback.
As far as he was concerned, Camille's E flash E was flashy, but not particularly difficult.
It hadn't occurred to him that Camille had only just been released. Other players hadn't even figured out how to play her yet, so who would try a move like that?
Simple?
Factory Director was speechless.
Was Camille's E flash E really simple?
Maybe after a few years, once the move became common, it would get easier.
But right now, based on the fleeting glimpse he'd just gotten, the difficulty of that move... well, he couldn't pull it off.
More importantly, this wasn't about whether it was difficult. It was about inventing a new move!
Like lantry, who'd come up with R flash before, this was the kind of feat that would go down in the champion's history.
"That move really isn't hard. You're exaggerating."
Seeing the long message Factory Director sent, Xu Cheng couldn't help laughing a little.
Hm?
Factory Director caught the implication in his words.
"Can you do other moves like that?"
"Other moves like that? I'm not sure if anyone's used them before."
Xu Cheng hesitated.
He'd thought those moves of his were probably already common knowledge out there. Could it be that no one had used them?
Factory Director didn't even have time to take Xu Cheng's Versailles act to heart. His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "When this match is over, let's start a custom game. Can you show me a few?"
"Sure, but the pay's the same as for a match."
Factory Director's mouth twitched. "No problem!"
Ten minutes later, the match ended.
The livestream's popularity had already soared to a new high.
Factory Director and Xu Cheng went straight into a custom game.
"Come on, show us what you've got!"
