Chapter 211 Faker's tears, golden rain! The championship belongs to LPL!
The Bird's Nest was already filled with people, like a surging wave, and the cheers were deafening, instantly covering the entire venue.
The audience was like a flame that had been ignited, overflowing with passion. Countless people jumped up from their seats, their faces flushed, waving flags and glow sticks in their hands, and shouting out their passion.
"GT! GT! GT!"
Those pairs of burning eyes stared at the field, as if they wanted to imprint this glorious moment deeply in their hearts.
The special effects of the base exploding and the brilliant lights and shadows were still slowly spreading and interweaving on the huge screen at the scene, like a dreamy background painted for this grand carnival.
In this frenetic atmosphere, at that moment, the 2017 season officially came to an end.
And GT, as expected, defeated the three-time champion SKT 3-0 in the domestic arena, ending their dream of winning three consecutive championships.
Won the first global finals championship of the lpl region!
In this atmosphere, the cheers seemed to break through the venue and reach the sky.
"We won the championship, we won the championship!"
"We won, we won! GT won! We beat SKT 3-0! We won the first LPL World Championship trophy."
Miller was extremely emotional, with tears in his eyes, and he roared, his voice even trembling.
He had seen Royal Club be the runner-up twice and was only one step away from the global finals championship, but this one step was never within their reach.
"LPL won! GT won! We are the champions!"
The baby next to him was not much better, almost crying and snotting.
"In the e-sports world where every millisecond counts, LPL has endured thousands of days and nights of long wait. We have failed time and again on that glorious stage, and the shadow of despair has always been with us. Many players have retired with regrets, but there is still a group of passionate warriors who stick to the fight.
With their unyielding faith and iron will, GT finally achieved today’s glorious victory and witnessed this historic moment together! ”
“I have commented on countless games, but at the moment I felt mixed emotions that were hard to describe. Until the end, I was left with only the emotion lingering in my heart.
3-0! GT beat SKT -! Defeated the triple champions in the final! At this moment, we can finally say, we are the champions! "
“In the journey of e-sports, GT set sail in the spring season. At that time, no one could have foreseen that they would embark on such a glorious journey. When Sease joined GT, no one expected that he would shine so brightly.
He led the team to win the Spring Championship, Mid-Season Championship, and Summer Championship one by one, and even defeated SKT in a sweeping manner on the stage of the World Finals, creating a legendary Grand Slam!
A stunning show by a top assassin, a display of the might of a dragon king, and the power of a canyon bomber, together became the cornerstone of the GT dynasty. Sease dominated the finals with absolute dominance. He is undoubtedly the undisputed king of the 2017 season, and has left a deep mark of his own in the history of e-sports, attracting the attention and amazement of the world. "
Miller looked at the doll in shock and even forgot the next words.
No, buddy! When did you become so good at bragging? You were good at bragging before, but now you can brag to the sky! If you are so good at bragging, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I don’t?
Li Jiahang next to him showed his true emotions, tears streaming down his face, and clapped non-stop... He wanted to shout but was still a little embarrassed.
PDD helped out by shouting it out directly.
"To quote what Xiu Shen said during the mid-season interview, it is our responsibility to create the glory of LPL! He succeeded in doing so, not only in the mid-season dynasty, but also in the global finals, which continued their dynasty. This is the first championship for the LPL region, and the gold content is completely full!"
"Although everyone says that Xiu Shen reached his peak when he debuted, I don't think he has reached his peak yet! He will definitely continue to create more historical records!"
"Congratulations Sease! Congratulations GT!"
Shen Chao, who was standing by, nodded and said, "Congratulations GT!"
The five commentators in the commentary booth all celebrated GT's championship moment in their own way.
In the GT player seat, everyone took off their headphones and celebrated with all their heart, accompanied by the hustle and bustle of the Bird's Nest. Wu's eyes were blurry, as if in a dream. Cheng Lu took off her glasses and wiped them, while Liu Qingsong sat in his seat in a daze.
Jin Gong hugged Li Yi and shouted excitedly. Everyone stopped suppressing themselves and let their complex emotions burst out.
At that exciting moment, the photographer on the scene was like a keen time catcher, accurately capturing the celebration of everyone in the GT player seat.
His finger gently pressed the shutter button, and with a "click", this shocking moment was frozen in eternity.
This is not just a photo, it carries the dreams and expectations of the LPL region over the years, and embodies the hard work and sweat of the GT team for countless days and nights.
This moment is the shining node of LPL's journey towards legend, and it is also a highlight in the entire e-sports field.
It is destined to be engraved in the long river of e-sports history. As time goes by, it will be constantly read and passed down, inspiring generations of e-sports people to strive for it and pursue their dreams...
Next, everyone in the GT battle seat surrounded Li Yi tacitly!
At that exciting moment of winning the championship, the emotions of the GT players were like wild horses running wild. Suddenly, everyone threw Li Yi high up, caught him steadily amid exclamations, and then threw him into the air again with all their strength.
Li Yi pretended to be frightened and helpless on his face, but he was also deeply infected by the joyful atmosphere.
At this moment, the director quickly captured this interesting and cheerful scene, and the camera switched accurately, and this scene was immediately projected onto the live broadcast room and the big screen in the venue.
When the audience saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then burst into even louder laughter and cheers. The entire Bird's Nest was immersed in a boiling sea of joy.
As for the barrage in the live broadcast room, it was also going crazy.
[I have never seen Xiu Shen look so frightened before. I have always seen him calmly holding his hands on the court.]
[Hahaha, the more I watch it, the more real it feels. ]
[However, Xiu Shen did bear too much responsibility. The GT team seemed to have always relied on the mid lane to gain an advantage, so no one was optimistic about them during the global finals...]
[Everyone was not optimistic about GT, but they were the most competitive and won the world finals championship! They ended the LPL's zero championship! ]
[We used to say that Europe and the United States are lame, we are the second division, but the second division has never won a championship. Now we are truly the second division! The teams behind us will strive to continue to win championships. If we win four more championships, we will be the first division! ]
As for more people, they are already in tears after watching the current scene.
They have been waiting for this championship for a very long time.
After a brief celebration in the players' seats, everyone headed to the SKT battle seat with smiles on their faces.
"GT! GT! GT!"
"GT! GT! GT!"
"GT! GT! GT!"
The uniform voices echoed throughout the venue, announcing the final winner of the 2017 season to the entire e-sports world!
At this moment, all the SKT members were feeling extremely tormented and painful as they listened to the deafening celebration and the GT team walking towards them with their heads held high and their spirits high.
The championship...still couldn't be won.
Especially for Peanut who was watching in the backstage, he had a feeling that there would never be a moment closer to the championship than this.
This feeling made him extremely terrified.
As a talented jungler, he also felt scared at this moment.
In fact, except for him and Huni, everyone else in the team has won the world finals championship. Even if he wins it next time, it will only be a change in honor, and he needs this championship to prove himself.
As for SKT in the player seat, the one who was most emotionally affected was the great devil Faker.
Because for him, it was not just the collapse of the dynasty and the loss of four championships and three consecutive championships.
The biggest problem is the gap in position!
This was really hard for him to accept.
The opposing mid laner performed well, which shows that he is the one holding the team back.
At this moment, his eyes were red.
But he still restrained his expression when shaking hands, and it was obvious that he still had the pride of a big devil!
After all, his triple crown is the highest honor in the League of Legends right now. If there is any regret, it is that he did not complete the Grand Slam.
But the Grand Slam is undoubtedly just a bonus. Even if you get second place in all the previous competitions, everything is acceptable as long as you win the global finals championship trophy.
After the handshake, all GT members walked to the center of the stage.
SKT walked towards the backstage player passage.
Faker dragged his heavy feet and moved towards the backstage player passage step by step.
The screams of nearly 90,000 spectators in the Bird's Nest were like surging waves, constantly hitting his eardrums.
That voice was full of cheers for victory and fanatical admiration for GT, but at this moment it was like sharp needles piercing deeply into his heart.
His heart was struggling with pain and unwillingness, trying to suppress all the surging emotions.
However, just as he was about to step into the contestant channel, the thunderous scream seemed to have an invisible magic that broke through the last line of defense in his heart.
He turned his head sharply and looked towards the front court.
The entire GT team stood neatly in the center of the stage, bowing deeply to the audience. They were bathed in the glory of victory, and their young and energetic faces were filled with joy and pride.
The glow sticks in the hands of the audience sparkled like stars, and cheers rose one after another, forming a sea of joy.
Faker's eyes were fixed on them, and the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious.
He thought of his glorious triple crown dynasty, the countless days and nights of hard practice in the training room, and the thrilling moments of victory on the court.
But now, all of this was ruthlessly shattered by the team in front of him. The shame of being outmatched surged into his heart again, and he knew what this meant...
His lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. Although he tried his best to hold them back, the hot tears still flowed down his cheeks like a flood.
But the director didn't pay attention to this scene, it was just captured by the photographer next to him who pressed the shutter.
Although the second place in the competition is inferior to the first place...but e-sports is so cruel. Unless you are Yue Lun, no one will remember you as the second place.
After bowing their thanks, all GT members walked towards the center of the stage with firm and proud steps.
There, the championship trophy of the global finals was standing quietly on the exhibition stand, shining charmingly under the light, instantly becoming the focus of the entire audience, and all eyes were fixed on it like a spotlight.
At this time, e-sports reporters and photographers were in place, and the moment they turned on their equipment, the stage was instantly surrounded by gorgeous scenery.
A blazing fire dragon spewed out from the edge of the stage, and the blazing flames shot straight into the sky, as if announcing to the world the arrival of this glorious moment.
Then, golden raindrops symbolizing supreme glory fell from the sky, like stars dancing down from the sky, lightly brushing every corner, and decorating the entire stage into a dreamy golden ocean.
The GT team held their heads high and bathed in the golden rain. The cheers and applause of the audience intertwined together, like surging waves, one after another, resounding throughout the venue.
At some point, Ren Dong's figure quietly appeared at the side of the stage.
He stood tall, his face slightly flushed with excitement, and the microphone in his hand was raised high, as if to convey the good news of victory to every corner of the world.
"The champion of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship is the GT team from the LPL region!"
The sound was as loud as a bell, instantly penetrating the thunderous cheers and applause at the scene, and echoing clearly in every inch of the Bird's Nest.
"Congratulations to Team GT!" He shouted again, his voice a little hoarse from the effort, but it added a bit of passion and heroism.
Amid the screams and shouts, He Youjun, coach Li Jiongjun, manager He Bin and substitute AD Lin Weixiang all jogged onto the stage.
When they came to the GT team members, everyone worked together to slowly raise the championship trophy, which symbolized the supreme honor, above their heads.
The trophy shines brightly under the light, as if it has gathered all the sweat and persistence of the GT team along the way, and is now blooming with the most dazzling brilliance.
Seeing this, the audience cheered even more deafeningly, and the sound seemed to overturn the dome of the Bird's Nest. The entire venue was immersed in a frenzy of joy and glory.
He Youjun smiled while holding the championship trophy. This was the best investment he had ever made in his life!
As for the smart Lin Weixiang standing aside, he was also very happy. He couldn't even become the starting AD before, but after playing a game in the GT group stage, he became the champion of the global finals and got a skin. This really made him very excited.
Li Jiongjun never dreamed that he could actually coach a championship team.
He Bin looked at the three people who were grinning foolishly and chuckled. If I hadn't discovered Li Yi, how could such a scene have happened?
Thinking of this, he became more and more proud!
The atmosphere on the stage was warm and solemn. Just as everyone in GT was immersed in the joy and glory of winning the championship, Riot's two big bosses, Ryze and Tryndamere, appeared on the stage.
With smiles on their faces and eyes showing satisfaction with this e-sports event and respect for the players, they waved enthusiastically to the cheering summoners in the audience.
Afterwards, they slowly walked towards the members of the GT team, holding the carefully prepared medals. Every time they hung a medal on a member, they would give him a sincere and powerful hug, which seemed to be a recognition and encouragement for their hard work and struggle in the arena.
When he came in front of Li Yi, Ryze's smile became even brighter. He took out his medal and said humorously, "Your performance today was really amazing and completely exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I was originally a loyal fan of Faker, but after witnessing your wonderful performance today, I couldn't help but be impressed by you.
However, this may not be good news, because you are too outstanding, and our designers may weaken you in subsequent versions."
Li Yi only understood a little bit and still needed Boss He to translate.
That is the e-sports industry... otherwise how could you possibly see the boss translating?
Hearing this, Li Yi could only force a smile.
Damn it! I just won the World Championship and then I heard that there would be a weakening against me. How can I be happy?
After the championship award ceremony, there is another most important award ceremony.
That is the FMVP player of the World Finals!
Ren Dong took the microphone and didn't keep everyone waiting too long.
"The winner of the S7 World Finals FMVP is Sease!"
"Congratulations, contestant Sease!"
At this moment, a retouched photo of Li Yi suddenly flashed on the big screen of the venue.
His already extremely handsome face exudes an irresistible charm with the careful photo editing and lighting effects.
The audience spontaneously shouted in unison, with the sound rising one wave higher than the other, like a surging tide, echoing wildly in the Bird's Nest.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Then the post-match interview officially began.
The first question naturally went to MVP player Li Yi.
Ren Dong: "First of all, congratulations to Sease for winning the Most Valuable Player of the Global Finals."
"Well, thank you for your support."
Ren Dong: "You once said that you wanted to create glory for LPL. Now that you have won the World Finals, you have also achieved your goal. Do you have anything to say?"
Li Yi: "First of all, I would like to thank my boss, my coach manager and teammates. They have given me a lot of support along the way. Since I am a new player, I just need time to adapt to the competition. If they hadn't given me enough confidence, I believe I would not have been able to get to this point."
"During the most difficult period, we all adapted to the changes in the version together, and in the end we adapted very well..."
"Then there are the fans who support me. I am very grateful to them for buying tickets to support GT during the most difficult time."
Ren Dong: "Okay, we are very touched by Sease's gratitude. So, have you decided on the champion skin?"
Li Yi: "Uh... I haven't really thought about this. Mainly because I was too nervous and focused all my attention on the global finals."
Ren Dong: "Hahaha, Sease hasn't decided yet. If you have any good suggestions, please leave a message on Weibo."
At this time, both the people at the scene and the audience started discussing it.
"Of course it's Sindra!"
"Syndra was already picked in last year's World Championship. Faker's champion skin is Syndra's. Wouldn't it be too much to pick her again this year?"
"If you ask me, I would go for the Swordmaster without any hesitation. He must be very popular, and he is the first champion in the entire LPL, so there must be a lot of people buying him."
"Lucian Vayne is also OK!"
"Vayne is not good, right? Sease is just a mid laner, not a true bottom lane ADC, and Uzi is still here, it's not a good idea to snatch this skin."
"??? Where did the skin of the untitled Vayne come from? Can he win the championship?"
"I didn't want to say anything, but what does it mean to hear that you, a show god, got Vayne's skin?"
I have to say... after seeing lpl win the championship, the fans also had their own arguments.
Next, Wushuang, Jin Gong, Cheng Lu, Liu Qingsong, and Lin Weixiang were all interviewed.
When expressing their excitement at the moment during the interview, they were all incoherent, and it was obvious that they still haven't calmed down after winning the championship.
But this is understandable, after all, the global finals championship is the goal that all professional players pursue throughout their lives.
……
The interview ended with everyone's applause, and Jin Gong once again performed his trophy-carrying stunt.
He carried the 36-pound trophy on his shoulders without saying a word and walked straight to the backstage.
For the next year, the trophy will be kept in the club by GT.
At next year's World Championship, Riot Games will take back the trophy.
Of course, a one-to-one replica of the championship trophy will be made for the players to use as a souvenir.
Li Yi also has a small trophy in his hand, and this is a trophy exclusive to FMVP and will not be recycled.
After returning to the lounge, the entire backstage was filled with joy, because it was time to reward the meritorious service...
