- FINAL

Amidst all the confusion, Tong Yao felt someone pick her up and she was against a warm and solid chest-- --Both of her feet left the ground. Subconsciously, she circled her hands around Lu Sicheng’s neck. Lu Sicheng then strode out of the soundproof room. He used his shoulder to push the door open……

Lu Yue, Ming god, Xiao Rui, and the coach all rushed onstage and hugged the five players coming out of the soundproof room. Tong Yao felt that someone had rubbed snot and tears on her arms and waist…… But at the moment she couldn’t speak, just cry while laugh foolishly on Lu Sicheng’s shoulder, like a person with a mental disorder-- --

They all stepped up to the Summoner’s cup which was their long cherished goal.

Lu Sicheng put down Tong Yao, then the six members of the team stood in circle around the column with the championship cup on top of it-- --

The lighting on the stage turned on, colorful confetti began falling from above, the noise of the world seemed to have come back. There was thunderous applause along with chanting in Chinese-- --

“Zhong Guo Dian Xin Zhan Dui!”[1]

“Zhong Guo Dian Xin Zhan Dui!”

“Zhong Guo Dian Xin Zhan Dui!”

Tong Yao slightly squinted her eyes and raised her head to look at the densely packed audience. From the corner of her eyes she saw a red flag slowly being spread out. It was passed slowly and steadily between many pairs of hands from the back of the seats to the front of the stage-- --

Xiao Rui ran over to take the national flag

Amidst the random laughter near her ears, she heard someone say “one, two, three.” She suddenly came back to herself and hurriedly put her hands onto the championship cup. The cool touch of the metal somewhat cooled her overheated head-- --

In front of millions of viewers, they finally lifted the cup, the dream of tens of thousands of fans and all the professional players!

……

It was the most glorious day in the history of the Chinese League of Legends Professional League.

Those on the stage jumped up and embraced each other. They were shouting and jumping like a bunch of crazy people. Fans posted hundreds of posts every second and the titles were pretty much the same:

Congratulations to ZGDX, congratulations to LPL!

We have a championship now! ! ! 

The Chinese League of Legends Professional League, LPL, has a championship now!

At the same time, the young players on the stage hugged each other, laughing. They took over a bright Five-star Red Flag and let the flag be seen once again on the stage of esports-- --

Maybe one day they would retire, get married, have kids, then leave the competition stage which they had once shed their blood, sweat, and tears for……

But they would forever love the esports business.

To those people who had stood up when LPL badly needed a championship to prove itself-- --

No one could forget that day when sitting at home, in an internet cafe, in a bar, watching the stream and crying like a baby.

No one could either forget those players, though their eyes were turning red, as they lifted up the championship cup with smiling faces.

They stood at the top of the world, under the spotlight, and unfolded the bright Five-star Red Flag……

They lifted up the flag over their heads at the same height as the championship cup

The competition was over.

Those young people still have a long way to go. Yet as long as there’s esports, their legend will remain.
