It was obvious—he just got outplayed, right in front of Rocky and countless viewers in the livestream.

This instantly made him, who had always been proud and had dominated the top lane in LPL and even recently at the S6 World Championship, feel a bit unreal.

"Yuexia... Little Sword Immortal?"

Rocky murmured the name, then after a moment sighed, "This guy's name... is kind of cheeky."

Theshine: ......

.......

Of course, Rocky and Theshine didn’t know who William Thompson was, because once they entered the game, they didn’t have the habit of reading the chat.

The three of them were on the same platform, so naturally the viewers in the livestream couldn’t have missed anything—at this moment, the chat was exploding!

William Thompson's incredible tower dive and kill completely stunned everyone!

“Holy crap! Is that Brother William?!”

“No way! Did he just outplay and kill like that? That’s insane!!!”

“Honestly, there’s nothing to criticize about Brother William's play this time, right?”

“It’s not just that there’s nothing to criticize, he absolutely popped off!”

“Haha, I just came from Rocky’s stream, and Rocky got completely outplayed.”

“Wuwuwu, it’s not easy, but finally our The Thompson Army can speak up loudly.”

“Bro, you’re overthinking it. I’ve already been muted in Rocky’s stream.”

“......”

It had to be said, this dragon fight brought huge rewards to William Thompson and his teammates on the purple side!

Especially William Thompson's flashy, chaotic plays afterwards, which gave the whole team a sudden boost of confidence—turns out there was a reason for William the Great picking Yasuo!

When one side rises, the other falls.

Confidence was soaring on the purple side,

While on the blue side, apart from Rocky and Theshine, the other three were feeling a bit down.

Especially in the next few teamfights, with all sorts of miraculous awareness boosts.

William Thompson's Yasuo kept tipping the scales back with every play.

This made the three random teammates on the other side feel powerless, but also increasingly curious—who was this “Little Sword Immortal Under the Moonlight” really?

At the start of the “Summoner’s Rift” placement matches, it was still a mixed bag, and they knew their own skill level.

But the problem was, the Yasuo on the other side not only outplayed them, but even made Rocky and Theshine feel the pressure!

You have to know, these two are top-tier pro players.

Even in ranked, Rocky had been number one on the Chinese server in the past two seasons!

......

Thirty-eight minutes into the match.

Rocky looked at the Baron they just lost and the broken mid and bot inhibitors, and couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.

In his spicy barbecue-accented Chinese, he shook his head and said, “It’s over, last fight. If I’d known, I would’ve swapped roles with our mid and gone mid myself.”

He and Theshine were duo-queuing, but this game the system had filled him into jungle, and now that the game was lost, he couldn’t help but complain a bit.

As it turned out, Rocky's read on the game was spot on.

In the final base defense, their bot lane tilted and got caught out and killed instantly.

Only Rocky, Theshine, and a random teammate were left, three versus five, and with such a huge gold deficit, there was nothing they could do. They quickly typed GG as their base crystal was destroyed.

“Victory!”

A comeback,

Sometimes it’s just that simple.

The moment the game ended,

The chat in the livestream exploded, and, rarely, people started sending airplane gifts.

“Shan’e Fenkai sent the streamer an airplane—Brother William is awesome!!!”

“Kmile sent the streamer an airplane—ten-year veteran Thompson Misc, our The Thompson Army is finally rising up!”

“Thomas Hotpot sent the streamer an airplane—Brother William, will you take Yasuo disciples?”

“Crazy Rice sent the streamer an airplane—wuwuwu, will we never see Brother William's feeding plays again? I think I’m going to get anorexia.”

“......”

At this moment, with the haters who came over after being teased by Pigou in the afternoon, and those who heard the hype from Theshine and Rocky’s streams and came to watch the excitement, the popularity of William Thompson’s stream broke through the 300,000 mark.

“Eh? William the Great doesn’t seem that bad after all?”

“That Yasuo just now blew my mind, absolutely insane.”

“His Yasuo has always been good, it’s just sometimes he Es and Es and then the curry guy is gone.”

“I just realized William the Great’s game sense is actually pretty good. When he was split-pushing, Rocky’s Nidalee couldn’t catch him at all. How did he play so badly at S6?”

“Could he have thrown the game for gambling?”

“I think maybe he really was just bad back then.”

“Tsk tsk, BMG fans are still whining, as if Brother William playing well would’ve meant a win.”

“Honestly, we’ll take the blame for Brother William, but to be fair, with the way the rest of BMG was playing back then, the AD and Thresh wouldn’t even pick up the lantern. Even if Brother William was a god, it wouldn’t have mattered.”

“......”

In the internet café, in front of the computer, after finishing a game, William Thompson put his hands behind his head, looked at the chat arguing in the stream, and lazily sat back in his chair.
