Transcript
00:00Golden sun is fading in the sky, fading in the sky
00:25That's when we start, blinding lights and summer in your eyes, burning in your eyes, yeah that's when it starts
00:34So tonight we are celebrating eSports, actually 25 years of eSports
00:41Coincidence, it is our 25th anniversary, so we took the liberty to say hey, let's have a night
00:49With everybody who was connected to us, with us, player, partner, people from the media
00:55All these beautiful people, let's bring them together in one place and let's settle
01:00This is what we're doing tonight
01:02And later on as I progressed in my career and I came to be one of the best players in the world
01:12I had the chance to play for SK in 2016-17
01:15And we won several tournaments, including a major, so yeah, it was a very successful time
01:20And for me, a reason to be proud as well
01:26The first thing that comes to my mind, but I have to say, my wins, but also the family behind SK Gaming
01:33Gaming
01:44Gaming were actually these moments that are more private
01:47I think not this official event and, of course, winning titles is a good memory
01:52But in the end it's about to, for example, enjoy funny times
01:57We were always feeling like they're coming home when we were in the SK office
02:03Because I've been very, very fortunate
02:05I've had, like, the first half of my career with SK
02:07Because that was a lot of, like, my growth period
02:09And in terms of, you know, learning and understanding not only myself within the game
02:13And how to, you know, try to win championships and be successful
02:16But to, a, how to hold myself up to higher standard and be a better example
02:20A better example
02:23But what was very special for me was the exchange and the time with very, very special people at SK
02:30And I've enjoyed every single day with SK
02:34They're so lovely
02:35I think they do a great job, especially for the female scene
02:50When the lights come out
02:52We'll be going, going strong
02:58Back together, strong for everything I understand
03:04We were a couple of brothers and friends
03:06Who liked to play video games
03:08And who wanted to compete
03:09And who wanted to play something
03:11And we needed a cool name
03:13And that's how we did it
03:1525 years ago, right?
03:16In our home had my parents
03:19A couple of PCs
03:21Plugged into the modems
03:22And let's go!
03:23I'm incredibly happy for all the people
03:27Like you
03:28Like Alex
03:29Like Jens
03:30Who continue to carry that torch
03:33Who bring that torch to the next generation
03:35Who evolve what we've started back in the days
03:39Who have built
03:41What was a regional European thing
03:45To be a global brand
03:47Back then we had no clue
03:48What would happen
03:49We had no clue
03:50All we knew was
03:51We take it day by day
03:53Month by month
03:54Year by year
03:55And we try to always move forward
03:57With what eSport is today
04:02For me to see the next 25 years
04:04For the next person in the same world that I did
04:06Or anyone else
04:07Or maybe just taking over Alex
04:08Or if he's going to still be around
04:10Would be even more amazing
04:12You know
04:13Meeting Alex
04:14Meeting Yens
04:15And everyone who was working at the org at the time
04:16Was special to me
04:17And they helped me grow as a person
04:18And I hope they can keep growing the sport
04:20And continue to do history
