'Team Samsung Telecom' defeated 'Team This Is CJ Entus' 3-0 to win the 'LCK Legends Match.' The Finals MVP was awarded to top laner Jang 'Looper' Hyeong-seok.

Jang said, "I didn't expect a 3-0 sweep, but I'm glad the team played so well. It was a really fun experience facing 'MakNooN' in the top lane for the first time." Regarding the strategies the opponents brought, he added, "They had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, which caught me off guard, but I think we managed to win through it." On winning MVP, he remarked, "I haven't been married long, so it feels like receiving a wedding gift. I think I played better because 'MakNooN' made the game so much fun." He also noted that this was his first time playing at LoL PARK.

Jungler Lee 'Spirit' Da-yoon said the games went better than expected. When asked about the secret to his enduring mechanics, he replied, "League is a relative game. Since my opponent was a top laner, I had an easier time, which probably made me look better than I am." He named Jang Hyeong-seok as the team's best player, adding, "As a jungler, it was easy to win because our top laner played so well." Noting that this was his first public appearance in six months since completing his alternative military service, he said, "I'm grateful to the fans who didn't forget me and came to the arena. I hope there will be many more opportunities to see you all in the future."

Mid laner Heo 'PawN' Won-seok attributed the victory to the team's composition. "I think we won because we have three Worlds champions on our team," he said. Regarding his role in recruiting players as the team's youngest member, he shared, "Everyone kept asking me, 'Are you going?' and they were all testing the waters. I think they all decided to come once I confirmed I was participating." He added, "It's been about six years since I last played at LoL PARK, and I'm grateful that you haven't forgotten me. If the opportunity arises, I'd love to play here again."

Bottom laner Chae 'Piglet' Gwang-jin was the only player on the team who was formerly with SK Telecom. "I thought I would feel lonely before the match, but I realized this is what 'Imp' must feel like, so I enjoyed it," he said. Regarding his practice, he explained, "The three of us—Heo Won-seok, Jang Hyeong-seok, and I—practiced together often, and I also practiced alone up until today. I worked so hard back in the day that I was able to regain my form quickly." His family, acquaintances, and students from the academy where he teaches were present at the venue.

At the end of the interview, Chae left a message for Gu 'Imp' Seung-bin. Visibly moved after receiving a video message from him, Chae said, "I told him in the past to contact me when he was doing better, and that I would always be waiting. I'm still waiting, and I will continue to wait. I hope he builds a team and plays with me. I miss him."

Supporter Lee 'Heart' Gwan-hyung, the oldest player in the match, earned MVP honors in Game 1 on Blitzcrank. "I was really worried because I couldn't get the hang of the game while practicing alone. I even studied how others played by watching YouTube," he said. "But once I got here, the communication was so good that the game flowed easily." When told he could still play professionally, he replied that he was just lucky. Addressing the opposing team, he said, "Honestly, I thought we would lose. The opposing players have such great careers. It was an honor to have such a fun match today, and I hope we have another chance to meet again."
