After 7 Years of Hard Work, this Professional Player Secures a Long-Awaited Victory despite Promise not to Cry

League of Legends is one of the video games that has undeniably left its mark on the video game scene and e-sport. Just a few days ago, many teams competed against each other during the Spring Splitthe spring season of League of Legends EMEA Championship. This weekend, the final was even played between the LCKthe Korean LoL league, where T1 and Gen.G. They were also the ones who were able to win the event with a nice 3 to 2, and at the same time offer themselves a fourth victory in a row in the Playoff final. For the Chovy player, this event was even the opportunity to win his fourth consecutive regional title. If we can already applaud this performance and this triumph during the LCK Spring Split 2024, this story hides something even more beautiful, because one of the T1 players was able to realize his dream.

Kiin's dream

After seven years and more than 600 matches, League of Legends player Kim “Kiin” Gi-in finally made his dream come true : win a prize. If the latter has never been the most publicized player, especially next to Faker, this weekend he made himself indispensable for Gen.G, which he joined last November. Until then, he still had a good CV, because he had already played alongside the teams Afreeca Freecs or ⁠KT Rolster. Since the start of his career, but especially in recent days, he has made an impression as a Top Laner. Without his tank, his team certainly would not have been able to go this far. As proof, he even became the MVP of the match (most valuable player)or the best player.

After this performance, many media outlets turned to Kiin to ask him how he was doing, and he still can't believe his eyes. “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. I feel very emotional right now,” he said. For the young man, it's fabulous, but he won't stop with this victory. The player already has his eyes turned towards the future and especially the Mid-Season Invitational, considered one of the most prestigious tournaments after the world championships. “I'm going to make sure we have a good performance at MSI“, he explained without hesitation. He knows he only has a few days left to train, because the competition will begin on May 1st. For Kim Gi-in, we hope that this first title will only be the first in a long series.
