After excitedly taking a selfie with the trophy, the SKT members lined up in a row to receive the live interview and award ceremony.
The host of the award ceremony was the European division's host, Sjokz.
Sjokz said, "Now, let us give our warmest applause to the champion of the 2019 League of Legends Global Finals, the former Triple Champion, the current Quadruple Champion, SKTelecomTone from the LCK division."
The audience, who had finally calmed down, applauded enthusiastically again. Nine League S tournaments, four champions, SKT was worthy of praise.
The official translation tool, Park Ji-seon, was already in position. Under her instructions, Li Ge stood beside the host and was the first to receive the interview.
Sjokz said, "First, we would like to interview the mid laner, Faker. How are you feeling now?"
Li Ge said, "Very good. It's like three years ago again."
Sjokz said, "Last year, you and your team were absent from the global finals. In order to return to this stage, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
Li Ge was silent for two seconds. "In order to stand here again, it's really been very hard."
The audience burst into a round of applause. Some people kept cheering for Li Ge's ID.
Guapi was a more introverted person. He rarely showed his emotions on stage. Other than when S7 was crying in the Bird's Nest, most of the time, Li Ge did not show much emotion on stage.
If he said it was hard, then it must have been very hard.
Seeing this, the OGN era's hipster CT on the LCK commentator's stand could not help but be moved.
"Seven years, a whole seven years. Countless players' career spans less than seven years. He has left his best years as an esports player for SKT. They have experienced glory together, and also climbed down together. Faker has engraved his name with SKT's.
He said that he wants to play until he is 27 years old. Countless SKT fans are looking forward to this period of time, but they are also anxious for the arrival of that day. 27 years old is Faker's promise to his fans. Time will slowly freeze and count down with him. "
Park Ji-hwan: "A player is not only great because of his glory and skills. Faker used his desire, hard work, and perseverance to pursue his unwavering dream. Although he said that it was tough, he never slacked off. After today, he will start his journey again. I believe that he and SKT will gain even more glory."
… ….
The host waited for the audience to calm down before he continued to ask questions.
The interview for the award ceremony was very simple. Li Ge expressed his gratitude to the fans and returned to the center of the group.
Li Xu couldn't help but poke Li Ge's arm. "Eh? Is it really hard? "
"It's alright. It's not that tough."
Guapi suddenly became serious again. No matter how he expressed himself in front of the camera, he would not say too much in front of his teammates.
Sjokz: "Today, we have invited guests to present the award: CEO of Fist Game, Mr. Nicolo, founder of Fist Game, Mr. Brandon Beck, Mr. Marc Merrill, and Paris' Deputy Mayor, Mr. John Needhan. Let's welcome our guests to present the award to the champion."
The guests picked up the medals from the stage and put them on the SKT members, including the coaches. Li Xu did not know who the middle-aged man who put the medal on for him was. After shaking hands, he lowered his head and looked at the medal on his neck.
The round medal was silver in color. It was engraved with the same image of a summoner as the one on the Summoner's Trophy. This was the most important medal he had received this year.
Hmm … It was the kind that he could keep forever. He could even give it to his son to play with in the future.
Medals were only awarded in international competitions. The champion of LCK did not receive a medal. In other words, Li Xu had received a total of three commemorative medals that he could keep for himself. There was also the MSI Champion's medal and the Intercontinental Champion's medal.
Sjokz: "Next, we will present the MVP of the 2019 League of Legends Global Finals. This year's MVP was voted on by all the commentators and reporters who participated in the global finals. Now, please join us in congratulating the MVP of the 2019 Global Finals, King."
Cheers —
Once again, the audience burst into applause and cheers. The atmosphere was unexpectedly passionate.
"MVP, MVP, MVP …"
Li Xu was, without a doubt, the most eye-catching person in today's finals.
From S1 until now, no one had ever been able to play with such terrifying dominance in the finals like him. He used gorgeous and passionate operations to conquer the audience at the scene. Even many of the audience members who were holding up FPX support items were not stingy with their applause.
Li Xu took a step forward and looked into the camera. He felt the cheers of the audience. When he saw his teammates and coaches clapping, he was at a loss for what to do.
Li Xu could not help but raise his hands above his head and clap softly in response to the applause of the audience.
From left to right, Li Xu maintained his applauding posture. He slowly turned around and expressed his gratitude to the audience in all directions.
The camera shone from behind Li Xu towards the audience. The camera followed Li Xu's movements. The scene that appeared on the screen was what Li Xu was seeing.
From the front row to the back row, the audience was surrounded on three sides. The black mass of jumping and cheering figures accompanied by the deafening cheers shocked the audience even through the screen.
Ze Yuan: "Wow ~ ~ ~ ~ Everyone's looking forward to it. Look at the atmosphere in the stadium. It's just too shocking.
Li Xu used his outstanding performance to move the audience. Whether it was SKT fans or FPX supporters, they were all praising him. This was truly a perfect performance. "
Doll: "Without any surprises, Li Xu's god-like performance has undoubtedly earned him the honor of MVP. His teammates are also giving him their applause. Who else but him will be the MVP of this year's series?"
Ze Yuan: "Li Xu was really amazing in today's finals. It's not an exaggeration to say that as long as the camera cut to Li Xu, Li Xu's play was the highlight.
Whether it was the details in the lane or the way he handled the team fight, Li Xu had been showing off. There's no need to edit the highlights of the finals. Just look at Li Xu's first-person perspective and that's it. "
"F * ck! This shot is so shocking. It feels like we're being surrounded by revelers. "
"I think Li Xu's ID is the most interesting."
"It's here. King's perspective."
"I see that there's a traitor among the FPX fans. Someone is clapping for Li Xu."
"He really did perform well. Even I want to do a handstand and clap."
"He deserves it! Xu Ge is awesome. "
"The real God of War, Li Xiaoxu."
"Xu Xu Xu Xu! Li Xu is awesome. "
"Please ban this person next season. If not, the other teams won't be able to play."
… ….
Listening to the tide-like cheers around her and looking at Li Xu calmly clapping on the big screen, Lin Yuqing did not know why she felt like crying.
"Lin Yuqing, one day, everyone will cheer for me."
Now, he had done it.
