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

04:22Continue to do history

04:23We're going strong

04:24Back together

04:28Drown through everything

04:30I deserve

04:32And I know

04:33That I deserve

04:35I just want to let you know

04:52The memories never let me go

04:56And the best is yet to come
