A mid-air disconnect!

Twice, no less!

What kind of concept is that?

Back in '16, plays like that were rare even in highlight reels, let alone in a top-tier celebrity match!

Xu Cheng's play this round was against Uzi and Xiye!

Two star players, undisputed, in the LPL professional scene today.

"That's f***ing sick..."

Even Factory Director rarely cursed.

This Thresh play was smooth and stylish, two displacements plus two crowd controls, it really made you want to shout--

Holy crap! So cool!

[He really knows how to show off!]

[I'm stunned, what level is this Thresh play?]

[God of mechanics! Holy crap, just this one play, and he could retire on it in the pro scene!]

[Seriously too amazing... Can someone tell me who he is? Is he streaming? I want to be his fan, sob.]

[God among gods! A visual feast, I'll call this the number one Thresh play!]

'16 wasn't as exaggerated as later years; the current version also leaned towards macro play and team fights.

When Xu Cheng's personal skill play came out, it not only shocked the players present but also sent countless viewers into a frenzy!

Ah Shui wasn't in a frenzy; his attention was completely focused on the situation on the field.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out a message:

[Save your ultimate, stall them here and I'll get over there, those two kills will be ours!]

Ding ding ding!

Beethoven, who had already run so far he'd lost his horse, turned back, preparing to flank and support--

With Thresh's miraculous play saving Hecarim, the situation on the field had completely reversed.

Little Dog and Xi Ye were both at half health, having already used their ultimates, flashes, and even basic abilities. Their mid-laner had just recalled, and Thresh was level six. As long as he could use his ultimate to stall them, They were confident they could turn the tables and kill them.

"We can't keep this up, retreat, retreat!"

Xi Ye also saw the tension of the situation and quickly shouted.

Uzi didn't say anything, but he was already preparing to disengage.

Buzz.

Xu Cheng's ultimate landed precisely, trapping the two of them.

"We're screwed!"

Xi Ye directly shouted, taking his hands off the keyboard.

Little Dog was also frustrated, but their current states were indeed a bit awkward. They could handle Hecarim alone, but now that Thresh and Ah Shui were coming, it was a difficult fight.

But at this moment.

"Huh? Why isn't he attacking us?"

Xiye suddenly realized that after Thresh cast his ultimate, he didn't make any further delaying moves, nor did he attack them--

After all, although Xu Cheng played champions randomly, his builds weren't haphazard. As an AD Thresh, his damage output was considerable by now!

"He... what is he doing? Drawing circles in place..."

Little Dog noticed that after throwing down his ultimate, Thresh stood outside the ring, circling them as if watching horses being penned up.

Then, he happily tossed a lantern to Uzi.

Little Dog: "?"

[Brother! We're rich!]: "Lantern, just throw the lantern."

Little Dog: "???"

Although he was annoyed, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Little Dog and Xiye instinctively began to attack the Thresh, who was "powerless to resist."

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Ah Shui, who was rushing over anxiously, spat out his drink.

He slammed the table and cursed, "Damn it! It's starting again! Is it happening again?"

"This guy, old habits die hard, he's just feeding? We only have a slight advantage right now! I'm gonna puke!"

"He's feeding?"

Meanwhile, halfway through the attack, Little Dog and Xi Ye also reacted.

They looked at each other in dismay.

Suddenly.

Brother Jujube's fair, small, chubby face instantly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"You're going to humiliate us too?!"

"Do we need you to let us win?!"

"Who do you think you are~!"

"So... are we fighting to the end?"

Although Xi Ye felt like he'd been hit by ten thousand critical strikes and was almost broken by Thresh's arrogant behavior, he was still a little tempted.

"I'm not fighting anyway, you fight if you want."

Brother Jujube's temper flared.

"Then... I won't fight either."

And so, a strange scene unfolded.

The previously tense situation suddenly became harmonious.

Thresh, Riven, and Lee Sin stood face-to-face, looking at each other, their eyes wide.

They just didn't attack.

[???]

[Masterpiece of the century!]

[Hahaha, let's see who stares to death first?]

[What is this...]

[Are they really giving it away? Holy crap, I'm shocked!]

[No... I don't understand, he dares to treat Little Dog and Xi Ye like this too? He's unbelievably arrogant!]

[I wasn't surprised by the skill, but seeing this scene, I'm truly shocked!]

Many viewers had only heard Ah Shui and the others talk about it before, but they hadn't personally witnessed Xu Cheng's antics--

After all, the quality of this match wasn't low, and Xu Cheng had been quite "normal" at the beginning...

But now they had seen it.

It was truly as one viewer said, more outrageous than any play before.

Letting some King players go is one thing, but you're humiliating Uzi and Xi Ye too?

Bro, open your eyes and look, this is Little Dog, the world's number one ADC!

Whether he's the world's number one ADC or not, Xu Cheng wasn't sure, but when he saw the two suddenly stop and stand there doing nothing, he immediately became displeased.

[Bro! We're rich now!]: "You don't want free kills, huh?"

[Bro! We're rich now!]: "Since you're not fighting, I will."

With that said, under the gaze of the entire internet, Xu Cheng actually started auto-attacking Xi Ye, one hit at a time.

!!!

Ignored, humiliated!

What does it mean to be ignored? What does it mean to be humiliated?

This was blatant disregard, an open and shameless humiliation!

"This is too damn arrogant! Kill him!"

Xi Ye, who already had a bad temper, couldn't take it anymore upon seeing this.

It was like being shat on and then asked for toilet paper!

He decisively counter-attacked.

But he sadly discovered that he couldn't beat Thresh!

Xu Cheng's Thresh, at almost full health and with output items, against a squishy Lee Sin with no skills, they traded auto-attacks for a moment, and Xi Ye, completely bewildered, was kited to death.

[Bro! We're rich now!] has killed [Wangzai Haohe]!

???

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

Factory Director couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter over voice chat.

The others were also speechless. What kind of god was this? Xi Ye was even more ridiculous, getting killed by an auto-attack...

A legendary moment in the making!

The situation became clear soon after. Ah Shui's Hecarim arrived, and Brother Jujube was instantly eliminated amidst humiliation.

After this play, Xu Cheng no longer stuck to his principles. He realized the intensity of this match was high, and continuing to play like this would likely lead to a crushing defeat.

He was uncharacteristically serious.

Finally, with Brother Jujube's mentality completely shattered and a desperate urge to go take a shower and go AFK, they narrowly secured the victory.

Once the match ended, Xu Cheng prepared to exit and start another game.

Just then, the Factory Director, who had been waiting for him, grew anxious.

He quickly typed, "Brother, I'm EDG's jungler, Clearlove."

"Do you want to pursue a professional career?"
