Inside the soundproof booth, Qu Jiang, Old Qin, and Cheng Xing also walked over, hugging Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang tightly. Cheng Xing's face was covered in tears, and Qu Jiang and Old Qin's eyes were also red with excitement.
Ye Shaoyang looked at his teammates and said loudly, "We won! We are the World Champions!"
Teammates also shouted excitedly, "We are the World Champions!"
Seeing the image of the five hugging each other, the domestic livestream room was completely obscured by dense white bullet comments, and countless fans had tears in their eyes.
Old fans who had loved Tianhuan for many years posted on their Moments and Weibo to congratulate Tianhuan.
Tianhuan E-sports Club's official Weibo also released the good news immediately: "Congratulations to Team Tianhuan for defeating ATB 3:1 and winning the S10 Gods' War World Tournament Championship!"
Official Weibo accounts of teams like Jingzhe, Yueying, Beimu, etc., forwarded the good news one after another to express their congratulations.
The Toxic Milk blogger who previously predicted Tianhuan would at most be runner-up publicly posted on Weibo: "My prediction was wrong, but I'm still very happy! Tianhuan is awesome, congratulations to Tianhuan!"
For a time, the topic "Tianhuan S10 Champion" was pushed to the hot search. Countless fans flooded into the comment section to leave messages, and the official Weibo comments broke through six figures in the blink of an eye.
[What does the Korean media say now? Is 3:1 still a matter of luck?]
[Tianhuan won handsomely today! Second game won by macro details, third game crushed mid lane, last game wild core turned the tables. ATB can't find any excuse to question Tianhuan's strength.]
[ATB World's No. 1 Mid-Jungle synergy? Who gave you the face to self-proclaim No. 1!]
[Starting today, I'm a fan of Shuoyue and Lieyang.]
[Tianhuan is the strongest, congratulations Tianhuan!]
At the same time, in the #SunMoonShineTogether# Super Topic, CP fans were as happy as if it were New Year.
[Our Shuoyue and Lieyang are the best match in the world.]
[Wishing I could move the Civil Affairs Bureau to the finals scene so they can get married on the spot.]
[Domestic finals, with Shuoyue's assistance, Lieyang got a penta kill; World Grand Finals, with Lieyang's assistance, Shuoyue got a penta kill! They have always been in a relationship of mutual achievement.]
[Fairy love between two world champions?]
[Hugging each other immediately after the match ended, I'm going to be sweetened to death by them!]
Domestic fans were reveling; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for e-sports fans.
Meanwhile, at the finals scene in Seoul E-sports Center, Korean fans looked downcast. Many were crying out loud, spectators wiping tears were everywhere, and some stared blankly at the big screen, unable to believe this result.
Inside the soundproof booth, ATB's players looked worse than the next.
How high-spirited they were before the match started; now, after losing 1:3, they were equally dejected and annoyed. The contrast between before and after was simply too stark.
But soon, Tianhuan's members, led by Chi Shu, came to the soundproof booth to shake hands with the opponents. They wouldn't make the opponents wait too long; proper etiquette was still required.
Chi Shu's face was calm as he shook hands with ATB's five members one by one. Ye Shaoyang had a smile on his face. When shaking hands with Park Won-seok and Choi Hyuk, he smiled and said twice: "Thanks for letting us win. Thanks for letting us win."
Park Won-seok: "…"
Choi Hyuk: "…"
This smiling Omega was slapping their faces right in front of them, wasn't he?
ATB's five members, full of anger, came to the stage, bowed, and exited, looking at the championship trophy unwillingly. Tianhuan's five members came to the center of the stage. Lin Feng ran up quickly and lifted the trophy high with the team members!
Team Manager Tang Can, with red eyes, took photos of this precious scene from below the stage.
When they won runner-up in S6, the players' expressions weren't very good during the photo session.
Now, they had finally realized their dream.
Holding the glittering gold championship trophy in their hands, the smiles on everyone's faces came from the heart. Xiao Xing, who usually had an awkward smile facing the camera, grinned from ear to ear this time.
Tang Can was amused by Xiao Xing's smile and couldn't help taking a few more shots.
At the commentary desk, Yao Mu choked up and said, "Congratulations to Tianhuan for winning the S10 World Tournament Championship! Ten years, finally realizing the dream! They have experienced too many hardships. Whether questioned or abused, they never gave up. This World Champion title, Tianhuan deserves it!"
Brother Dong's voice also trembled with excitement: "That's right! This is Tianhuan's World Championship, and also the first World Championship trophy for our China Region! Congratulate Tianhuan again; they deserve the warmest applause!"
The Korean commentators were very unhappy that the championship was snatched by Tianhuan, especially on Korean home turf.
Before the match, everyone thought ATB would definitely win the championship, but they lost 1:3?
It was like a cooked duck suddenly flying away, making people feel suffocated. But out of professionalism, the Korean commentators still interviewed Tianhuan's 5 members according to the rules.
"Winning the S10 World Championship, what do you want to say most at this moment?"
The microphone was handed to Old Qin on the far left. Qin Yizhu scratched his head and smiled. "I am very happy to win the championship. I know I am not a top-tier Top laner. Thank you to my teammates for never blaming me, but encouraging and recognizing me instead. Tianhuan family, I love you all!"
Qu Jiang took the microphone and said, "I'll only say one sentence: You are my brothers for life."
Cheng Xing was moved to tears by their speeches, wiping his tears while choking out, "I think I am the happiest rookie in this world. Master, Brother Yang, Old Qin, and Brother Qu have always been dragging me to improve. Really, today I didn't hold everyone back. I feel like I'm awesome myself!"
[Xingxing is indeed awesome!]
[The weakest Marksman has grown up. Xingxing charge!]
Cheng Xing handed the microphone to Ye Shaoyang.
Ye Shaoyang was all smiles. "What I want to say most is, of course, thank you to my teammates; I'm very fortunate to know you. I also want to thank Tianhuan's coach for supporting and believing in me. The World Championship was my biggest dream. It's really great to have you realize it with me! This will be the best memory of my life!"
Transmigrating once, finally realizing the dream.
At this moment, Ye Shaoyang was content.
In his previous life, he lost in the Grand Finals and got into a car accident while walking in low spirits. In this life, he won the Individual Championship and the World Championship; no more regrets!
As the captain, Chi Shu took the microphone last and said, "Teammates played very well today; you are the best. Here, I also want to thank the staff behind the scenes at Tianhuan. The coaching staff studied opponents seriously and arranged tactics; the logistics team worried about the players' daily necessities. This championship belongs to everyone! Thank you for your hard work!"
Below the stage, all of Tianhuan's staff applauded excitedly.
Captain Chi was considerate, not forgetting to include them, the behind-the-scenes personnel, in his acceptance speech.
After the applause subsided, Chi Shu suddenly turned to look at Ye Shaoyang. "I have one more sentence I want to say to Yangyang."
The entire finals scene quieted down.
The dazzling lights overhead spilled onto his face. The Alpha's gaze was incomparably gentle, and the expression on his handsome face was as serious as reading a vow.
He spoke clearly, word by word: "Yangyang, thank you for coming to my side and working hard with me for so long. You are the most outstanding e-sports player in my heart, and also my pride."
Meeting Chi Shu's gaze, Ye Shaoyang heard the sound of his own heart beating violently.
The audience below was packed, and beside him were his most familiar teammates, but in this exchange of glances, only the other person remained in their eyes.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the Alpha in front of him, smiled slightly, and lip-synced: "You are also my pride."
Chi Shu extended his arms and hugged Ye Shaoyang tightly into his embrace.
Ye Shaoyang also gently hugged him back.
Teammates applauded excitedly beside them. Qu Jiang smiled and roasted internally: "When editing the video later, this part should be accompanied by the Wedding March?"
Not far away in the VIP stand, Ming Sheng had a gratified look of "my son has grown up."
Old Nie scratched his head in confusion. "This, Chi Shu's words sound… why are they a bit strange?"
Ming Sheng smiled. "Our Tianhuan might have a double happiness coming."
Old Nie, A-Ning, and Brother Long looked at the old captain in unison. "What double happiness?"
Ming Sheng kept them in suspense. "Wait and see."
A-Ning reacted first. "Right, I almost forgot, Yangyang is an Omega! Being together day and night, could it be that comradeship turned into love?"
Old Nie looked confused. "Possible? Isn't there only competition in Captain Chi's brain?"
A-Ning rolled his eyes at him. "With your elm head, you'd better think about what women's clothing to buy when you go back."
On stage, the players who finished their speeches stood side by side.
The female host said, "Please invite the Chairman of the Gods' War World Alliance to present the Championship Rings to the members of the champion team!"
For the team winning the World Championship, besides the trophy, each main player would also receive a championship ring. Tianhuan's 5 members received their own rings and happily put them on for a group photo.
The male host said, "Congratulations to Tianhuan Club for winning the World Tournament prize money!"
Coach Lin accepted the prize check on behalf of the club. According to the previous agreement with the club, Tianhuan wouldn't take a penny; the prize pool of the World Champion would be distributed entirely to the players and coaches.
The feeling of getting rich overnight was so cool! The smile on Coach Lin's face became even gentler.
When everyone finished receiving awards and came backstage, Ming Sheng, Old Nie, and others also rushed backstage to congratulate them personally.
Chi Shu gently hugged his master and whispered, "Master, I didn't let you down."
God Ming patted his shoulder with mixed feelings. "Good job."
Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan also gave their old friend Chi Shu a hug. Xie Yuan teased, "Winning the championship, don't forget to treat us!" Chi Shu nodded. "Remembering it. Will treat you to a big meal back in China."
Team Manager Tang Can said excitedly, "Everyone was awesome! I've already booked the celebration banquet restaurant in advance; let's go together! Also, your phones are all with me; come get them back."
The phones confiscated from Tianhuan players during the competition were finally returned to everyone's hands. Everyone went on Weibo to forward the official news and reply to congratulatory private messages from friends and family.
Ye Shaoyang saw his brother Qin Rui sending congratulations: "Brother, you are the best, you are really too handsome! Congratulations, congratulations!" Ye Shaoyang replied: "Thanks Xiao Rui, bringing you gifts when I come back ^_^"
Everyone got on the bus together. Tang Can booked a barbecue restaurant, booking the whole place.
The group ate supper in high spirits. Chairman Qiu grinned from ear to ear, toasting everyone as usual: "Who said our China Region couldn't do it? Winning today was really too satisfying! Come, cheers everyone!"
Chi Shu swapped the red wine for a soft drink in advance, toasting and celebrating with everyone.
The group partied until 3 AM before returning to the hotel.
On the way back, touching the championship rings on their hands and thinking of the prize pool, Cheng Xing asked curiously, "Will we get the World Tournament prize money, plus the global sales share of the championship skins? Can, can you roughly tell me how much money that is?"
Qu Jiang made an "eight" gesture and said, "Eight figures for each person is guaranteed!"
Cheng Xing jumped up excitedly. "Then have I become a tycoon!"
Qu Jiang patted Cheng Xing's head. "Yes, little tycoon."
Cheng Xing also drank some wine today, stumbling while walking to his room, muttering excitedly, "I'm going to buy a sea-view house and take my parents on vacation! I also want to buy a car… but I don't seem to have a driver's license?"
Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Ye Shaoyang received a 5 million signing fee back then. After winning the domestic championship, the club kept its promise and gave him the remaining 5 million bonus.
He didn't lack money. The bonus was just icing on the cake for him; the meaning of the championship was the most important.
Chi Shu looked back at his silly apprentice and said, "Go back and sleep early; have to go to the airport tomorrow afternoon."
Old Qin supported himself against the wall and stuttered, "Ca-Captain Chi, I remember you drank, drank quite a lot. Not, not drunk at all?"
Chi Shu glanced at Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang unceremoniously exposed him: "He asked the waiter to swap the red wine for cola. His alcohol tolerance is terrible."
Qu Jiang said, "Yangyang drank quite a lot too, right?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "I drink red wine like water. White liquor usually can't take me down either."
Alpha with terrible alcohol tolerance, Omega who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?
This contrast made Qu Jiang chuckle. Captain Chi, how can you not be embarrassed? Is it okay for an Alpha to be easily drunk by an Omega?
Ye Shaoyang didn't know what he was laughing at and looked baffled. "What's wrong?"
Qu Jiang waved his hand. "I have a headache. Going back to sleep. Goodnight everyone."
Everyone returned to their rooms.
After teammates entered their doors one by one, Chi Shu pulled Ye Shaoyang into his room and locked the door backhand.
Ye Shaoyang, circled into his arms, said helplessly, "What are you doing again… Mmph…"
A gentle kiss landed on his lips, carrying the familiar sweet taste of cola.
The intimate contact made Ye Shaoyang's heart beat like a drum. He remembered the sentence Chi Shu said just now when giving his acceptance speech—Thank you for coming to my side, you are my pride.
Didn't he think the same?
Thank you for finding me in the crowd and letting me join Tianhuan.
The year we walked hand in hand was more unforgettable than my past twenty-plus years.
Chi Shu, you are also my pride.
Ye Shaoyang's heart softened. He opened his mouth, allowing Chi Shu to kiss him deeply.
Chi Shu naturally wouldn't hold back.
The two hugged and kissed inseparably, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
Worried about affecting the team's results before, they had been restraining their personal feelings, pretending to be simple teammates in front of outsiders. But at this moment, they no longer needed to suppress their emotions and desires.
They were clearly lovers in love.
"Mmph…" Ambiguous sounds came from the room continuously.
The passionate kiss lasting twenty minutes made Ye Shaoyang's legs weak, almost unable to stand.
A damn game would have finished playing, and you still haven't kissed enough?
Ye Shaoyang pushed him hard. Finally, worried about losing control, Chi Shu actively let go.
The two looked at each other, blushing and looking away simultaneously.
Kissing each other for the duration of a game, although sweet, both were young men full of vigor. Continuing to kiss would easily lead to losing control.
Ye Shaoyang quickly opened the door and slipped away. "Goodnight, see you tomorrow!"
Chi Shu watched his retreating figure disappear instantly like a "Flash," and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
——Yangyang, I don't want to wait anymore.
I decided long ago that you are the person I want to protect for a lifetime. So, it's time to choose to make our relationship public. I just want to tell the whole world that Ye Shaoyang belongs to Chi Shu, and Chi Shu belongs to Ye Shaoyang.
No one can take Yangyang away from me.
