Chapter 303 Legend!
The moment the Korean team's base exploded, the entire player booth was in an uproar.
Everyone jumped up from their seats excitedly; cheers and shouts mixed together and broke through the ceiling of the arena.
Even Li Yi, who was usually calm, could not suppress his inner excitement. He jumped up along with everyone else, his face filled with indescribable ecstasy.
Although Li Yi has already won the global finals championship and achieved the Grand Slam of League of Legends events, the Asian Games championship has a completely different meaning for him.
This is not an exhibition match, but a championship in a formal competition, and its value is far beyond imagination.
He knew in his heart that this championship was of great significance, and there was even the possibility that the local government would come to his door with a banner to express congratulations.
You know, in South Korea, if a team wins the championship, the players can be directly exempted from military service. This shows how high the value of this event is. No wonder Li Yi is so excited at the moment. This is truly the supreme honor of winning glory for the country.
Looking at the puppy again, his whole face was flushed and his eyes were slightly red with excitement.
This Asian Games championship is undoubtedly the best gift he has received this year.
Looking back on his six-year professional career, only he himself knows the ups and downs therein, and this championship is the best encouragement for all his efforts and persistence, and a shining milestone in his career.
In the Korean team's player seat opposite, Faker sat quietly, his eyes full of envy. Looking at the Chinese team's players cheering and jumping for joy, there was loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes.
At this moment, he could only wait silently for his opponent to come over and shake hands. As a loser, it seemed that he could only accept such an outcome. The cruelty of the arena lies in the fact that the winner enjoys the glory, while the loser tastes the bitterness alone.
Of course, Faker did not forget to open the game interface. When his eyes fell on the glaring zero and eight in the data column and looked at the Ruler Emperor, his eyes instantly became cold, like a death gaze, as if to penetrate people.
He had secretly made up his mind to delete Chidi from his friend list as soon as he returned.
In this crucial game, Chidi produced such exaggerated statistics, which greatly disappointed Faker. In his heart, Chidi was really far inferior to Bang.
Recalling the days when I fought side by side with Bang, Bang was omnipotent on the field and could perform all kinds of extreme operations with ease. He was the most trustworthy output point in the team.
Faker couldn't help but think in his heart, Bang, do you ever think of yourself at your peak and the omnipotent you at some point in your life?
Will he regret indulging in meditation training and losing the opportunity to represent the South Korean team?
If the ADC standing on the field at this moment was Bang, would the outcome be different?
As the cheers from the audience continued to echo, the Chinese team finally ended their passionate celebration and walked towards the Korean players' seats in an orderly manner.
At this moment, everyone knows that this is the final handshake of the game and the most basic respect for the spirit of competition.
Faker was sitting on a chair. When he saw the Chinese team coming, he took a deep breath and tried hard to force a smile, trying to show his proper demeanor.
But that smile was full of bitterness and helplessness, and there was still a lingering sense of loss in his eyes.
He stood up slowly, his hands unconsciously clenched slightly, as if he wanted to grasp the game that was about to pass, even if it was just a trace of memory.
On the Chinese team's side, the excitement on the players' faces has not yet completely faded, but their steps are steady, without the slightest bit of frivolity.
They understand that victory at this moment is certainly something to be proud of, but in the arena, respect is always mutual.
They walked up to the Korean players, stretched out their hands one by one, and shook hands simply and forcefully, without any extra words or any mocking actions.
Li Yi walked in front of Faker, and their eyes met. Li Yi nodded slightly and said softly, "You played well."
Faker barely managed to pull the corner of his mouth and replied, "Congratulations."
This simple conversation seemed to carry countless emotions, including the humility of the winner and the unwillingness of the loser.
When the news of the Chinese team's victory spread across the country like lightning, the entire online world was instantly ignited.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all players' eyes were focused on the exciting news that the Chinese team won the League of Legends championship!
In just a few minutes, this piece of news quickly spread like wildfire and topped the Weibo hot search list, and its popularity remained high.
Countless players flooded into the Weibo channel with excitement and joy. They couldn't wait to leave messages in the comment section, and their words were full of pride.
Some players wrote: "This is our glorious moment, Team China yyds!" Others said with emotion: "After waiting for so long, we finally waited for this day. It's not easy!"
Various celebratory words and excited emoticons instantly filled the entire comment section, creating a sea of joy.
GT’s official Weibo account also released the news at the first opportunity, sending the warmest congratulations to the Chinese team.
The Weibo post not only expressed praise and admiration for the Chinese team, but also called on all e-sports fans to cheer for the Chinese team and witness this great moment together.
As soon as this Weibo post was released, it quickly received a large number of likes and reposts, and the comment section was also flooded with blessings and cheers from the players. Everyone expressed their recognition of the GT Club and their expectations for the future of the Chinese team in the comment section.
For a time, the Weibo platform became a place of joy to celebrate the Chinese team's victory, and everyone was immersed in this incomparable joy.
However, the joy of victory was mixed with a hint of regret. Everyone was filled with regret that such an exciting event was not broadcast live!
Since the broadcasting rights for League of Legends were acquired by South Korea early on and they were unwilling to release them to the outside world, the audience not only missed the thrilling game process, but also had no chance to see the exciting award ceremony.
Just imagine the moment when the Chinese team's athletes stand on the podium, holding high the shining gold medals in their hands, with the national flag flying behind them and the audience playing the national anthem. What a glorious scene that would be.
But now, audiences can only picture these scenes in their minds but cannot witness them with their own eyes.
Without live broadcast, it’s like a grand party without the protagonist, it always feels like something is missing.
Everyone can only helplessly wait for the later-stage video to be transmitted back, hoping that through the belated images, they can make up for the regrets in their hearts and feel the glorious moment that should have been shared as soon as possible.
At this moment, the Asian Games award ceremony is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Three podiums representing the champion, runner-up and third place were placed in a staggered pattern, with members of the three teams standing neatly behind their respective positions.
The contestants had different expressions, some still had regret in their eyes, while others were filled with excitement and pride.
The host's enthusiastic voice echoed in the stadium. As the words fell, Mr. Kenneth Fok, Chairman of the Asian Electronic Sports Federation, walked steadily towards the stadium with a friendly smile on his face.
Mr. Huo Qigang undoubtedly played a crucial role in the long journey of e-sports development. The inclusion of League of Legends e-sports in the Asian Games demonstration event was inseparable from his active promotion and unremitting efforts.
He has been following the development of Chinese e-sports. Especially when he learned that the development trend of China's League of Legends was getting better and better, and that the GT Club won the Grand Slam last year, he made up his mind to help League of Legends become an official event of the Asian Games, rather than just an exhibition match as originally planned.
Today, the Chinese team players standing on the podium are undoubtedly the best witnesses of this effort. The gold medals they are about to receive are not only the glory of the individuals and the team, but also a strong proof that Chinese e-sports is reaching new heights with the help of many promoters such as Mr. Ho Kit-yung.
Under the eager gaze of the audience, the award ceremony for the third place Chinese Taipei team was held first.
Kasa and others proudly stepped onto the podium and received the bronze medals representing honor. Chairman Huo smiled and shook hands with them one by one. He gently took out the medals from the exquisite tray and solemnly hung them around their necks. Warm applause broke out at the scene to congratulate these outstanding athletes.
Next, the silver medal of the South Korean team was awarded. The silver medal was obviously superior in material and luster, emitting a charming brilliance.
However, for the ambitious South Korean team, this silver medal was far from meeting their expectations, and they could not hide their disappointment on the scene.
Especially when the award ceremony was over and the gold medal symbolizing the highest honor was presented on the stage, the eyes of the Korean team members were full of envy and resentment, not knowing where to turn.
At this moment, the host's passionate English announcement resounded throughout the venue: "Asian Games champion, the Chinese team!"
In an instant, the stage of Mahaka Live was covered by waves of dazzling yellow light, like a dream.
Lights poured out from both sides and behind the stage, interweaving and shining on the stage, as if carefully setting off the glittering golden glow on the gold medal, making it even more dazzling.
Chairman Huo walked forward, solemnly picked up the gold medals, and hung them around the necks of the Chinese team members one by one.
Finally, he looked at Li Yi and praised: "You performed very well, very well."
Li Yi's face was filled with a confident smile, and he responded sincerely: "Thank you."
Li Yi held up the gold medal in his hand. As the sun shone down, the light from the gold medal was dazzling and warm. This golden light was reflected in his eyes, full of cherishment and pride. He stroked it repeatedly and couldn't let it go.
Looking around, other athletes were also holding their gold medals tightly, their eyes burning, smiles on their faces as bright as the summer sun, and the light in their eyes was brighter than the medals in their hands. This was the glory they had earned through countless days and nights of hard work.
After the award ceremony, the atmosphere became more solemn and everyone knew that the sacred flag-raising ceremony was about to begin.
On the championship podium, the Chinese athletes were dressed in neat national team uniforms and looked solemn. The excitement and excitement that had just been on their faces gradually subsided, replaced by endless respect and pride.
In unison, they gently pulled the bright red national flag in front of them, and every movement was full of a sense of ritual.
At this moment, the flag-raising platform has been ready and the staff are in their positions.
The bright lights on the stage suddenly went out, and the roaring background music also stopped abruptly. The entire stadium was so quiet that the only sound left was the slight sound of the flags fluttering in the breeze.
Then, the majestic and stirring national anthem was played, "Arise, those who refuse to be slaves"
"Let us build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood..."
The familiar melody was like a warm current, instantly igniting everyone's blood.
Li Yi and others subconsciously saluted solemnly in the direction of the flag-raising ceremony, their postures straight as pine trees, their eyes closely following the slowly rising national flag, and they instinctively sang along.
Their singing may not be professional, but it is full of affection. Every note carries their love for the motherland and their cherishment for this honor.
Amid the stirring national anthem, the five-star red flag slowly rose and fluttered over the stadium...
All the Chinese audiences at the scene straightened their backs, and their gazes seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, becoming particularly sacred.
There was a light shining in their eyes, a brilliant glow of glory, pride and emotion interwoven together. It also contained a powerful force that inspired them to move forward, which continuously surged and spread among the crowd.
At this moment, an indescribable belief surges in everyone's heart: at this moment, we can overcome anything!
This belief, along with the melody of the national anthem, is deeply rooted in everyone's heart.
The huge conference hall of Mahaka was originally a noisy world, but the moment the passionate Chinese national anthem sounded, every corner was filled with this solemn melody.
The singing spread from the front row to the back row of the audience, and floated from one end of the venue to the other, without any omission and without a trace of noise.
People were immersed in this familiar yet shocking melody. The hot hearts beating in their chests resonated with the rhythm of the national anthem, and the entire venue was enveloped by strong patriotic feelings and the joy of victory.
That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and Li Yi's home welcomed a group of special guests.
The staff from the local Culture and Tourism Bureau visited us with full sincerity and congratulations.
The banners in their hands filled with words of praise and the souvenirs with profound meanings were a high recognition of Li Yi's victory in the Asian Games.
When the neighbors heard the noise, they went out to see what was going on. When they learned that it was the Culture and Tourism Bureau who came to congratulate Li Yi with the gold medal, they were all shocked and their eyes were full of envy.
Father and Mother Li stood aside, watching the scene in front of them, the pride in their hearts surged like a raging tide. Their straight backs and upturned mouth corners all demonstrated their inner pride and sense of accomplishment.
But in the midst of their joy, a barely perceptible trace of regret flashed across the eyes of Li's father and mother.
They looked at each other and secretly sighed in their hearts that if they could have realized their child's potential in e-sports earlier and given more support and guidance, perhaps the child would not have to grope alone and bear the pressure during those years, wasting a lot of precious time in vain.
However, the joy at the moment quickly took over, as they knew very well that their children had reached the pinnacle of glory through their own efforts, and the future was full of infinite possibilities.
……
2025, Shanghai.
【Brother Yi, help me! 】
Li Yi looked at the WeChat message sent by A Shui and the Pioneer Tournament that just ended, where the GT team ended its eight-game losing streak, and couldn't help but sigh.
LPL is really outrageous. There are still no newcomers until now. Do they still need the old players to come out and save the day?
And behind him are six global finals championship trophies!
s7,s8,s9,s10,s11!
Completed five consecutive championships!
After winning the world championship in s13, I chose to take a break...
Unexpectedly, in just two years, the S15 LPL region has fallen to the fifth region.
That night, the news of GT's eight-game losing streak was suppressed.
The next thing to reach the top is sease reconnection!
