Taking off his headphones, the cheers from the stadium flooded into his ears. The indoor stadium's sound effects were very good, and the atmosphere was very lively.
That was how they won!
Li Xu was not that excited. He leaned back in his chair and took a sip of water.
"We're the champions, the champions."
Teddy rushed over and hugged Li Xu's shoulder. Li Xu almost spilled water on the keyboard.
"Calm down, calm down. It's just a champion."
Li Xu waved his hand and saw Li Ge sitting beside him drinking water.
But why is Li Ge's hand trembling?
Looks like Li Ge is still very excited. He's not as calm as I am.
Hmm, I'll drink some water to calm myself down.
Li Xu stood up and followed his teammates to shake hands with TL's members.
TL's members looked very calm. Being able to enter the MSI finals was already a good result for the North American region.
Senior Brother looked very relaxed. He did not look dejected at all. When shaking hands, he took the initiative to pat Li Xu's shoulder.
"Congratulations, Li Xu."
Li Xu did not say any words of consolation. This veteran of nine years had heard too much consolation.
He also patted Senior Brother's shoulder, and the two walked past each other.
Victory was inevitable, defeat was also inevitable.
In the center of the stage was the golden championship trophy. Since the start of the knockout stage, the championship trophy had been placed there. Now, it had a new owner.
Passing by the trophy and standing in front of the stage, Li Xu scanned the dark audience and waved his hand in front of him. The audience responded enthusiastically.
The other teammates lined up in order. The five of them put their hands on each other's shoulders and bowed to the audience.
"SKT, SKT, SKT."
"Faker, take us to Paris."
"November, we'll see you in Paris."
"Kim Jong Un, I love you."
"We're the champions."
The SKT fans in the stadium were excited. They waved the support boards in their hands and shouted all kinds of support slogans.
After thanking the audience, the five of them turned around and stood in front of the trophy.
Li Xu could not help but reach out and touch the trophy. The golden trophy resembled the Hercules Cup, appearing heavy and dignified. The base of the trophy was engraved with the names of three MSI champions: EDG, SKT, and RNG.
After waiting for the coaches and substitutes to get on the field, everyone put their hands on the trophy.
"1, 2, 3."
The golden trophy was raised high, and golden ribbons fluttered in the air.
SKT, the return of their legend.
The trophies were put down, and all the team members picked up the trophies and took a group photo.
At this time, the host walked onto the stage and stood next to the stage where the medals were placed.
"Congratulations to SKT for winning the 2019 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship Tournament. Next up, we'd like to invite Mr. Whalen, the eSports Director of Robot Games, Mr. Ye Qiangsheng, the person in charge of Robot Games' Greater China and Southeast Asia region, as well as the S2 global champion, TPA, to present the award to our champion team."
The guests who presented the medals were members of S2's champion team, Assassin Star. The TPA members went on stage and cheered again.
The leading guest was a middle-aged man. He took the golden trophy from the stage and walked toward Li Xu. Li Xu lowered his head and let the guest hang the trophy around his neck.
The guest extended his hand and congratulated Li Xu softly. Li Xu quickly shook hands and thanked the guest. The guest behind him hung the trophy around the player behind him.
Li Xu picked up the trophy around his neck and examined it carefully. The trophy was quite heavy, and it felt like metal in his hands.
The golden circular trophy had a very delicate design. It was surrounded by a simple pattern of wings. The wings gathered at the bottom of the trophy, like a pair of closed wings wrapping around the trophy.
In the middle of the trophy were five pieces of sapphires that were polished to a specific shape and pieced together to form the shape of a sword. The top four pieces of sapphires were arranged side by side to form the body of the sword, and the bottom piece was the hilt. The end of the sword was formed by a pair of open golden wings.
It seemed like Fist was very sincere. He did not use a piece of plastic to brush off the award.
"The post-match interview segment will begin soon. Next up, Xi Ran will come to our stage and conduct the interview."
Li Xu silently complained, 'Looks like the LMS competition really doesn't have a foreign language host. Yu Shuang is the English translator, and Xi Ran is proficient in both Korean and English. It really is the LPL competition.'
Xi Ran came to the center of the stage. She first congratulated SKT in Chinese, then repeated it in Korean.
"First, we would like to interview contestant Faker. Contestant Faker, you are once again standing on the MSI champion podium. At this moment, how do you feel?"
Li Ge took the microphone from the host. "To be honest, I'm a little emotional. I didn't participate in the international competition last year, and it feels like a long time has passed. I'm very grateful to my current teammates. I didn't perform very well this time, but we still won."
"I didn't perform well, but I still won. Haha, are you angry?"
"Guapi: Haha, you didn't expect this, did you? There will be a day when I can just lie down and win. "
"Li Ge finally has someone to rely on. What kind of trash were those last year?"
"In the end, Guapi still became the slave that he hated the most."
"Don't talk nonsense. Li Ge has never hated slaves. He has always been a slave. 23333."
"This year's international competition, Li Ge, give Li Sanzhuo a whole skin. The champion skin is Li Bingbing."

Xi Ran: "Your old teammate Impact is in the TL team. Do you have anything to say to him?"
"Mm ~ ~ ~ Congratulate him for being the runner-up. This is also a good result."
Li Xu wanted to laugh when he heard this. 'You're rubbing salt in someone's wound.' Da Mu, who was behind them, probably wanted to hit someone.
Xi Ran turned to look at Li Xu and asked in Chinese, "Contestant Li Xu, as the champion top laner of this year's MSI, what do you think of the ranking that ESPN gave you?"
Before the start of this year's MSI, ESPN had ranked the players in all positions. In the ranking list, Li Xu was ranked second, behind the first place player, The Shy.
Li Xu was about to speak when he realized that he did not have a microphone. There were so many people standing on the stage, but only the two hosts had microphones. One of them had even passed it to Li Ge.
Li Xu took the microphone from Li Ge.
Li Ge looked at Li Xu. 'Can you be a little more polite? Do you know that the person standing in front of you is the leader of SKT? '
Li Xu did not think much of it. "I am the strongest."
Li Xu's reply in Chinese did not require Xi Ran's translation. The live audience was very satisfied with Li Xu's reply. They gave Li Xu enthusiastic cheers and applause. The support board with Li Xu's name was waved wildly.
Li Xu had borrowed the famous words of a veteran jungler in an interview before the start of this year's MSI. He would prove who was the best top laner.
The director had used this sentence countless times to convince himself to death. Luckily, Li Xu had resisted this time. Otherwise, there would be another little pig under the director's command.
