The stadium for the S1 World Finals was filled with cheers and applause.
Although the audience wasn't directly involved in the S1 World Finals, as a player of LoL, they were proud that the game was able to garner so much attention and influence.
Chen Mo yelled, "The S1 World Finals of LoL has come to an end. Everyone, see you in S2!"
The stadium was once again filled with cheers and applause, with many people shouting.
"See you in S2! We'll be the champion next year! "
"Go NRG!"
"Chen Mo is awesome!"
"Xiao Hei, smile at the camera!"
Chen Mo walked off the stage amidst the cheers of the audience, leaving the moment of glory to the five players on stage.
And so, the S1 World Finals of LoL came to an end!
…
After the match, all the players were still immersed in the excitement of winning the S1 World Finals. It was foreseeable that this would become a party for all LoL players, and it would take at least a month or two for the hype of the finals to die down.
There were some small incidents in the S1 World Finals that caused a lot of discussion among the players.
For example, NRG's jungler, Jiang Hao, was asked how he felt when he won the championship, to which Jiang Hao replied, "The trophy is too heavy!"
Many netizens did some research and found out that the trophy was thirty kilograms. It was no wonder Jiang Hao felt it was heavy, as it took a lot of effort for five people to lift it!
Some netizens also noticed a small detail when NRG lifted the trophy. Jiang Hao was the first to rush to the side of the trophy, but after lifting it, the trophy didn't move at all!
Fortunately, the other players quickly came over and lifted the trophy together, so this scene wasn't noticed by too many people.
However, this small detail was still discovered by the netizens, and caused a lot of discussion online.
"Hahaha, Jiang Hao is so cute, his first reaction was that the trophy was too heavy?"
"Yeah, the trophy was really well made. Thirty kilograms? No wonder Xiao Hei couldn't lift it. With his small frame, he would probably sprain his waist if he tried to lift it. "
"Didn't you see how careful those five people were when they lifted the trophy? If it fell to the ground with a 'clang', not only would the trophy be fine, but the stage might even be smashed! "
"Amazing, I can only say that this year's S1 Finals is way too cool. When it comes to acting cool, the only one I respect is Chen Mo!"
"Chen Mo: I'm not targeting anyone. I'm just saying that no one here is as good as me when it comes to acting tough!"
"I'm satisfied that our domestic team has won the championship! Let's go for a round or two! "
…
There were more and more posts about NRG's championship on the major forums. A large number of LoL players were discussing the team that had just been crowned king, discussing their latest tactics and signature heroes in the finals.
The various live-stream platforms also maintained a dedicated live-stream for the S1 finals, which replayed NRG's journey to the championship in a loop. More than a hundred thousand viewers tuned in every day.
All sorts of videos and information about NRG's championship were exposed on various video websites, and they were very popular. Even materials like NRG's daily training, solo, and meals in the base were talked about enthusiastically by the players.
The popularity of this competition was far higher and longer lasting than anyone could have imagined.
Many players expressed that they hadn't seen enough and wanted to see more!
As a competitive game, LoL was very enjoyable to watch. For some players, watching the competition was even more fun than playing the game themselves.
Some of the more difficult heroes, such as Ice Bird and Raven, players couldn't play them at all. However, in the competition, professional players could use them to kill their opponents and perform exquisite maneuvers.
Many players felt a sense of immersion when they watched the competition and saw the team or player they supported. After winning the competition, they would also feel a strong sense of satisfaction.
Therefore, many players were saying that it would be great if there was a finals every month!
Of course, players quickly retorted that there was a finals every month? It wasn't realistic in any way. Moreover, if there was a finals every month, there wouldn't be so much anticipation.
However, once a year was indeed too long. Players were still looking forward to more small competitions in the country so that they could continue to see their favorite teams and players.
Their wishes were soon realized.
After the finals, Chen Mo announced two major events.
"To celebrate NRG's victory, there will be a week-long promotion for all the skins of all the heroes used by NRG in the finals. They will be sold at fifty percent off the original price. At the same time, within this week, all Summoners would receive double the amount of gold coins and double the amount of EXP. In addition, the officials will create a set of exclusive champion skins for NRG.
"In addition, all the major regions will be starting the LoL Pro League. Currently, there are four major regions: Chinese LPL, North American LCS
NA, European LCS
EU, Korean LCK, will be working with local esports organizations to create a lasting competition system. Starting from S2, the major regions will be the only way to watch the global finals. "
At the same time, details about the league were released on the official website of LoL, including information on the participating teams, competition schedule, promotion and relegation rules, and the slots for the world championship.
Many viewers also discovered that the LPL would officially start at the beginning of next year, and it would be held at the venue of the finals, Magic City's Grand Plaza.
"I just said that I haven't seen enough, and now there's a league?"
"Awesome, there'll be a competition in a few months, and it's a league too. Once it starts, it'll be a year! Seamlessly connected to next year's S2 World Championship? "
"Amazing! Did Chen Mo plan all of this? Is it a combo? "
"Wow, as long as it's a champion used by NRG, the skins will be half price? When did Chen Mo get a conscience? "
"Previous poster, you're so naive …"
"But I'm more concerned about NRG's exclusive champion skins. I wonder what kind of skins Chen Mo is going to make for these five players."
"Yeah, the champion skins are amazing! When the time comes, everyone will be using their own skin when they play the game. It'll be so cool! "
"My wallet is already thirsty for money! As long as NRG's exclusive skins are good, I'll buy them no matter what! "
"Yeah, it's a domestic team after all, we have to support them!"
After the World Championship, even LoL's popularity was on the rise. Even the number of active players and paid players had a significant increase.
The S1 finals were the most effective form of promotion. Whether it was the venue, the trophy, the participating teams, the number of spectators, or the record-breaking prize pool, they all showed the players that League of Legends was a game that was constantly developing and improving. There was a high chance that it would become the most popular competitive game in the future, bar none.
