During the Closing ceremony of the League of Legends Worlds Championship 2018, RooKie is asked to talk about how he is currently feeling. As RooKie bursts into tears while answering the Host, the broadcast’s translator starts translating from Korean to Chinese. As this happens, RooKie suddenly starts translating himself to all the Chinese speaking fans, while in tears, expresses his appreciation for everyone’s continual support. This interviewed has left a deep impression of all LPL fans and RooKie has earned much respect from the community to say the least.

Q: How do you feel right now?





RooKie: I’m very thankful to all the fans that have supported me, all of the RooKie fans. I’ve wanted to win Worlds for so long. These couple of years when I was burned out, when I am stressed out, I actually thought about giving up and retiring. There have always been fans that gave me support, and thanks to them I am able to stand here today. I am very thankful for all the fans.





Q: When did you start to think IG could win it all?





RooKie: Since not many people believed in us, so I wasn’t feeling a lot of pressure. So I could play freely and we ended up winning.





Q: LPL finally won Worlds after 8 years, all the fans must be very excited. Please tell the fans what you want to say





RooKie: I’m very thankful to them. Since we, as IG, won I hope we will receive more faith from the fans and hope that everyone will continue to support us all the way through. I don’t know what else to say, thank you everyone, thank you.
