The Seoul of the world will watch.
The Seoul of the world will chant.
The Seoul of the world will cheer.
The Seoul of the world will wait.
The Seoul of the world will roar.
Ten young have risen to the summit,
Ten whose fates now rest
In their own hands,
Hands that’ve carried them this far.
In spite of resistance
And burdens
And the weight of success,
Ten agile minds will face off.
And at the mecca of esports
The Seoul of the world will watch.
In this corner:
The sister team at last victorious,
A victory bittersweet
That leaves behind a dented Deft,
A Spirit crushed,
A silenced Heart,
And a fallen general surrenders command.
Yet against all odds White bests Blue
With the vicious, sinister-smile Imp
Who broke the Piglet’s back,
White whose Mata pushes back the darkness
And sentences death with precision.
A PawN promoted now leads the charge
And at the mecca of esports
The Seoul of the world will chant.
And in this corner:
An amalgam built to challenge the best,
A royal gamble who have once more denied kin
From laying eyes upon the mountaintop.
Here comes the prodigy with a second chance
The Uzi that humbles Imp
With energy raw and unmatched.
Here too is the unseen inSec
Who in few, rapid seconds inspires many
Who are worlds apart.
Even with meager earnings
These five always fight to the death,
No regard for those who impede.
These tenacious will have much to prove
And at the mecca of esports
The Seoul of the world will cheer.
Midfield will be silent,
Empty,
Quiet,
Still.
But soon,
Soon they will congregate
While patience quickly wanes.
And at the mecca of esports
The Seoul of the world will wait.
Mental warfare within our Seoul will test years of work,
And the cries of our Seoul will follow.
Brutal, bloody fights will break,
And raw energy will drive competitors forward.
Here every second will matter,
Here every decision will matter,
Here every mistake will matter.
Ten minds, the best of their kind,
Will play for millions,
But five will raise a cup,
And at the mecca of esports
The Seoul of the world will roar.
