It is no surprise that pro players are far better than the usual competition you will find in your League of Legends ranked games, but this pro was so good that the auto cheat detection actually punished him.
We all know that pro players aren't your everyday solo queue teammates. They've got insane game knowledge and have honed their craft almost to perfection, but it seems one player has done so a little too well and Riot punished him for it.
It wasn't long ago that Riot accidentally banned Faker's solo queue account, but now another player also had his banned, live on stream even. So, what exactly happened during this solo queue game?
JackeyLove Punished During Game For Insane Play
A clip of JackeyLove, the 2018 World Champion ADC, has gone viral on social media, getting banned live on stream for being way too good. Tencent's cheating detector couldn't handle Jackeylove's moves with Sivir and flagged him, meaning he was unable to continue playing.

In the clip you can see JackeyLove playing Sivir, a champion that is not known to be mechanically demanding, but he sure makes her look like it. Even though he has a 99% slow from Nasus on him, he masterfully kites away from 3 enemy champions while auto-attacking to make use of his Navori Quickblades. He then reactively uses his spell shield after the enemy lee sin flashed on him to negate his ultimate kick.
Shortly afterwards, he gets the pop-up with the message that he got banned by the anti cheat system. Even though he wasn't able to play anymore, JackeyLove still ended up as MVP of the match, while also being flagged as AFK...
Typical Rito fashion, eh?
