Yuan Qian sniffled and waited at the side for his teammates' hugs.

He glanced to the left and right, but neither side seemed to have any intention of letting go, so he helplessly paced around a little. Just as the thought "haven't they been hugging for a bit too long" popped up in his head, he was hugged by Ding-ge, who had rushed onto the stage.

After the conclusion of a match, the camera always belonged to the winners, and this scene was completely captured by the surrounding cameras.

The livestream barrage briefly spammed "TTC is amazing" for a while before it was led astray by that scene—

[Watching God Lu steal Baron instantly got me pregnant ahhh—]

[Savior is crying, so pitiful ah wuwu T-T, don't cry PUD we'll be back next year! And congrats TTC!!!]

[Soft really is gonna go to Korea to bury Rish...]

[They've been hugging for one minute twenty seconds now, hah, isn't that enough.]

[What's going on what's going on?? Xiao Bai, do you wanna squeeze Pine to death?!]

[Damn! Road's hand is on my son's butt!!!?]

[Soft is about to rip a hole in my husband's shirt...]

[Pure dad fan here, this is my first time following LoL esports thanks to my son. I wanted to ask, when other teams won championships in the past, did they also hug each other like this? I haven't even hugged my wife this tightly before.]

[Isn't Qian-ge the only winner of life in the team with a girlfriend? How come he looks even more tragic right now than those single dogs hahahahahahaha]

In the end, Jian Rong let go only because Ding-ge patted them on the shoulders and told them to go hold the trophy.

Jian Rong's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and his eyes shined. On his way to the center of the stage, he licked his lips quite a few times.

The five of them gathered around the trophy. As the host's voice and the audience's innumerable screams and shouts sounded around them, they lifted up the trophy together.

After that, regarding how they got off stage, how he hugged his other teammates, how he stuffed his peripherals into his bag... Jian Rong didn't remember much of it at all. For a brief period of time, he felt like he was floating, and it was only once he was seated for the post-match interview that he was dragged back down to reality by the flashing cameras.

The five TTC members sat side by side, in as formal a setting as the post-game press conferences held for the NBA or the World Cup.

"Why're they making the spring season such a big deal this year?" Yuan Qian was astonished. "This is the kind of show they only put on for last year's Worlds."

"Don't ask. The answer is that the LPL's market value is growing year after year." Ding-ge smiled at the reporters and said quietly, "Alright, it's about to start."

Although the press conference seemed impressive, ultimately the same old questions were still being asked. The majority of the questions were related to the match, interspersed occasionally with a few personal ones.

This was nothing new to most of the TTC members. Even Pine had competed in Worlds twice already, and he answered the questions skillfully and easily. On top of that, at their core they were all a bunch of video game nerds, so they were far less comfortable talking face to face with reporters compared to streaming in front of their computers. As a result, none of them had much to say, including Xiao Bai, who gave standard responses to the questions and left it at that.
