Rough Translation:
There really is nothing that's impossible.
I've waited for this for too long.
Last year was incredibly difficult for me.
I've sometimes thought that it was over for me.
But I just told myself I needed to practice more.
So that one day maybe I could prove myself to everyone.
Just to add a little, he said that he lost DH atlanta 0-6 after saying the last year was tough. Not very clear, because he is crying, as we all are😢😢😢
Let me try:
9:59:22
I want to say to the viewers who are still watching this now that Nothing is impossible. Even I was able to win a World Championship. I mean Nothing is impossible, really. (starts sobbing ) I think, I've been waiting for this world championship for so long. Last year was really tough for me. At one point (after 0-6), I thought StarCraft was over for me. But I told myself that I should practice more, and more, and more, and if one day I actually won the world championship, maybe i could prove myself to everyone.
Thanks bud 🙏
thanks for translating!
Thank you!
He deserved it more than anyone today. Incredible split-second decision making and micro. A story for the ages!
Thank you for being vague about who actually won. Great comment
he deserved it for sure., such a wholesome guy.
Well said man
太感动了，有幸在现场见证了这历史性的一刻🎉
太有福了兄弟
谢谢你李培楠! 我们是冠军!
太幸运了，明明我有签证但是因为上学没去成
@@TheVanillatechYou asked wrong ones.
@@TheVanillatech lmfao is that the best you can come up 😂.
FUN FACT!!! This year's ESL SC2 Champion is from a country has NO current Starcraft 2 server, even NO Battlenet server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Activision-Blizzard, you are truly a unique company, are you? LOL
As a 20 years starcraft fan, KUDOS to you TIME, OLIVEIRA, LI PEI NAN!
i'm not a fan a of Blizz policy, but China has some pretty weird laws
I mean... they dont allow skeletons to be shown and change corpses to bread lol
it's like if US laws forbid dealing business with Russia, blizz would have to shutdown services there
nothing to do with blizz but the shitty ru government really
blizz would be interested in earning more money is China is an insanely big market
To be honest though, a "European" server may be as far from Serral or Reynor as the Korean is from Oliveira. The only country that has a dedicated server is Korea
Edit: Oh yeah, the USA of course
That isn't blizzards fault. One tweet angered some people and they shut blizz out of china, for now.
@@BasqueOG Actually it was totally a commercial move in the beginning. It all started from the failed negotiation between Blizzard and Netease. The only thing triggered Chinese players' rage was that Blizzard decided to shut down the server until it finds a new proxy company(especially when it was because of earnings issue). All the players would lose their games' data except for WoW.
I mainly play sc2 and D3, and I felt so insulted by Blizzard.
A man who never got out of the group stage in previous IEMs
A man who got wiped out 0-6 in the last premier tournament
A man who was ranked 21st and no one had hope in him
A man who barely made it out of the group stage with a 2-3 score
Yet he managed to defeat EVERY top 4 player in the world to secure that WORLD CHAMPION
Seems like the more pressure he's under the better he performs. The opposite of choking.
@@Ybrethar same
@@thenonsequitur he said he always lost the game because of his impatience before, so he just kept telling himself he could win just to stay calm and steady lol.
i can finally admit that this tournament has put the final nail in the coffin..... RIP.... heard stormgate was pretty good.
@Adarviroh Fan Belarus you mean the stormgate is bad?
First time watching the ESL stream. Somehow it felt as exiting as watching the FIFA world cup. What a crazy journey!
There were only twice in history when the player rated from bottom third actually won the tournament.
The previous two were sOs and Life and they had championships before, Oliveira is the only one who had never get championship before and also achieved this.
Absolutely amazing. This is no only about SC2 Championship, this is victory of talent and character. A phenomenal ending, I witnessed something that happens extremely rarely. The Time's words were so mature, so accurate, that felt warmth in my heart. Unbelievable.
"i just love this game"
Oliveira. :,)
Amazing performance, but more than that, incredible display of tenacity and willpower by Oliveira. What a guy. Loved how genuine he was between the matches, perfect underdog story. So cool. I'll be cheering for you !
That gauntlet he had to go through. Reynor, Hero, and then Maru. These names are some of the greatest to have ever played SC2. For Oliveira to go through those three, that's absolutely remarkable.
人说东方的人族，会在寒风起，站在国门外！
Truly inspirational! Was cheering for Maru to finally win a global championship, but this was the best possible ending!
IEM Katowice is consistently an incredible tournament, but this one left me in shock. Never imagined a run like this happening. Beautiful words from Time as well.
Uno de los mejores juegos en la historia ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS POR REGALARNOS ESTOS EVENTOS MAGNÍFICOS! ¡LARGA VIDA A STARCRAFT2!
Waw..oliveira 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.a true tale of the underdog
NGL, this was probably the most emotional grand finals ever since ForGG won Dreamhack Winter.
Zombiegrub:
the most insightful game analysis
Feardragon:
"yea."
Literal chills from that interview. THE PEOPLES’ TERRAN!
Wow Wow Wow, best Sc2 Grand final ever. Hate TvT normally but this match was spectacular! Sad Zerg was a no show.
Best series ever!
Incredible tournament results and matches were really fun!
太棒了李少，这是属于你的传说！！！🎉🎉🎉It's his legend！
有幸看到他拿到冠军，没有辜负他这么长时间努力的训练🎉
Am glad to have watched it an be there till the end 😁
the dramatic music cueing up right as the boys hit the front line at 7:38:40 was a sign from god that this was oliveras night
Oilveira/Time deserves a Movie
CINDERELLA STORY of the SC2 DECADE!!!
A fantastic story of an underdog winning by working hard.
An amazing end, I am so happy for Oliverira to win over Maru the legend creating his own. Perfect Caring and Great games
great upload, you should do that everyyear guys!! thank you
Kobe Quote: "Players don't usually come out of nowhere. If you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning, but no one ever noticed."
Serral does on a master class on how to handle silly 12 pool cheese. He didn't even blink after he won.
Absolutely legendary
历史总是由牛人创造的，今天这一刻，李培楠他做到了！
update that Oliveira card please
One thing - maybe next time try to really make sure that we can't see the crowd through the moderator's microphones. It's kinda weird as it makes me think that someone is standing behind me in my room :D
313k views, 5.1k likes as of today. SLAMO THAT LIKE BUTTON TO KEEP SC2 ALIVE!
Reynor is such a choke artist 😂
4:19:50
Amazing!!
That dude earned being the best.
최고의 대회
祝福会晚到但不会缺席，恭喜Oliveira！！！
I cried
The guy is Legend

Just to add more context for players in EU or NA region: Last month, Blizzard quit China region and shut down all servers, including SC2, WoW, Overwatch, etc. Oliveira rose to the top, from a player community that's dying, where streamers, pro-players and sponsors are leaving. The odds he fought against was way beyond the apparent challenges in the tournament.
As one who started playing SC2 since 2010, I played even before Chinese server started, lived through it, and witnessed the end of it. I actually cried when seeing Oliveira became the champion, and I'm very certain that most Chinese players did the same. It meant so much more than just an underdog story. It's like a emotional farewell to the game, a fulfilled last wish, of those players and streamers who could no longer return to the game they loved.
12年的星际2老兵。希望李少还能再战一两年，中国星际不死！
great comment man!
Why did Blizzard quit China region?
@@mop9i40k Bizzard takes 80% of SC CN server according to the contract. And soon after Kotick had been there he himself personally wanted more and unilaterally break the contract. Then Netease, the agent of CN server conldn't afford that their profit will be cut by half and want to have a re-negotiation. However, Kotick don't want to talk due to his arrogace and declare that the quit of Blizzard. Then what he do is that he rise up everywhere else's price to cover up the loss.
Overall, Kotick is destroying both Blizzard and all its game. Olivera in IEM Katowice maybe the last person who play SC2 and he said he will declare of retire soon.
Well, I think it's a rediculous epitaph for the CN Bizzard that we have been loved Bizzard game for 25 years and they declared for quit just because a thought.
@@hoythao6919 I'm finally boycotting any transaction with Blizzard. I still play SC, but I'm not going to buy future Blizzard releases (or any store items) as long as Kotick is there or as long as their business practices remain similar to recent history. I don't even click Diablo 4 videos. They don't deserve the attention or my money. These practices have to fail materially in the market and we have to choose to make that happen.
Oliveira made a fan out of me this tournament. As an NA player since '98, I genuinely could not ask for a better & more fitting champion than Oliveira winning here. There are so many great players in the tournament, from group stage to finals, all with many stories and paths they took to get here. But after learning his story and what he went through, none of those others can hold a candle to Oliveira's story. It is extremely sad to see SC2 winding down as Blizzard withdraws support and slashes tournament funds, but if there was going to be one last hurrah, one last huge tournament for world champion, I am glad Oliveira won. What a capstone moment, for the player and the game.
14年星际猛男落泪。连服务器都被搬走的地方憋出个世界冠军！
Some facts about Blizzard shutting down servers in China: They broke up with their long time partner in China due to pure greed on Blizzard's side. Basically their Chinese partner has been doing all the work, setting up servers, translating, organizing tournaments, promoting, getting all sorts of paper work and permits passed through the government, fighting bots; but they were only getting a very small percentage of the income generated in China while the majority goes to Blizzard (think like 2:8 split when you do 90% of the work). In Blizzard's new CEO's brilliance, he wanted to further cut down the 2:8 split to something less than 1:9, and when the negotiation didn't go as planned (duh), Blizzard HQs went around started spreading rumors about its partner in bad faith, now no agency in China wants to work with Blizzard given its arrogance and greed.
True and thanks for articulating it.
100% a Chinese agency should pirate the software and set up standalone servers for SC2. Blizzard deserves no less than to be completely cut out of China profits.
With all my sympathy for Oliveira and Chinese SC2 community, i dont think it probable to be the whole story. Not even an arguably badly run company like Blizzard would give up such a huge market that is China without cause, specially given its not a normal market, you have to go through all the hops to enter it. So I would say there must be more to the whole story then we know. Im not saying Blizzard is necerily the good guy here, but the story you describe sounds ridicilous, there must be more.
@@firestarter000001 You clearly have not heard of the story behind IW and how ridiculous the current CEO is.
While highly plausible and very possible I still don't believe the source for your story isn't your ass
中国星际20年，终于等到了这一刻🎉🎉
我们是冠军！
Translation: 20th year anniversary for China's SC2, finally this moment has come! Congrats guys, Truly magnificient play by Oliveira/Time
太感动了呜呜呜！看了12年星际的老年人看哭了！ 谢谢李少， 开酒！
李培楠！咚咚咚！
Happy for you guys.
Congratz to Chinese SC2 fans!! as Korean I did root for Maru but Im so touched by Oliveira's interview. Congratz to Oliveira and Time for never giving up.
I pretty much started watching this tournament on a whim and I am so happy that I followed it from start to finish, this has been some of the best days of my life. I'll never forget the events that transpired this event, congratulations Oliveira, this run was such an amazing thing to watch and you deserve the win!
Same here, started watching by accident. Haven't watched an SC2 tournament in 6-7 years but this was incredibly entertaining and fun!
Same. Was bored, figured I'd checkout some sc2 videos for the first time in a long while and found out the championship was happening :o
Bruh for real, just installed Sc2 last night off a whim - Started watchin this an jus bru, boy has this been missin from my life.. The story an emotion, an jus the nostolgia of one of the best games ever that I enjoyed so much.. Such a sick run SERIOUS NERD CHILLS
Oliveira's Mandarin speech in English.
"I want to tell the people who are still watching: There is actually nothing that is impossible. Even I managed to be a world champion, there is really nothing that is impossible..."
*Audience clapping*
"I feel it's (taken) too long to get this world championship (title). Last year was really difficult. After last year's (finances?**) difficulty, it really felt like my time was over. But I told myself if I just kept trying, I can be the world champion."
**There may be some errors in the second half on financial difficulties, could be a measure of performance. But the rest of this translation are correct to my knowledge.
The difficulty is not about finances, because his family is financially supporting him. It is that he felt rather depressed because there were comments which discouraged him. He compared himself with other young players like clem and reynor and felt that he is less talented. So he has doubted that he would never be able to reach to the top tier and may never achieve something like this. And that is the reason which made him considering retiring from esport. You may have to note that playing games is usually discouraged in mainstream Chinese culture, so he understands that his family is giving more support to him than one should have expected. This might somehow lead to guilt of paying time on games while not achieve something great, because he felt great and unspoken expectations. Yet he overcame the difficulties, and his decision of changing his id from TIME to Oliveira is likely a result of change in mindset.
@@shimingzhou2462 Good to know the background info. It is a historic moment. We all feel still in dream.
for the ** part: last time I got wiped out 0-6, I felt like SC2 was over for me
@@shimingzhou2462 After last year's (0-6 lost) difficulty
@@ruiliu830 yeah, absolutely. I would say that was a representative moment. But the constant pressure on his performance might be the fact that he always ended not higher than ro8.
0.37% winning probability.... and he did it!
It's unbelievable, I'm a Chinese fan, I've been watching StarCraft 2 games since 9 years ago. I didn't even watch IEM katowice, because I thought it was still the same as before, which is that Chinese players could only reach the semi-finals at most. I didn't know until he won the championship. Until now, I thought I was dreaming. Nothing is impossible, he's just showing us that.
He took the minimum salary, only relying on the financial support of his father and family, and went abroad to compete alone. He humbly invited Korean players and European players to play training games, and even the Chinese server of StarCraft 2 was gone. But he finally defeated T, P, Z TOP1 players to win the championship.What an epic championship, he is already a legendary.
As an EU player for many years i never expected an EU champion, like serral or reynor, i always watched kr players over the years like jeadong, MC, stats, innovation or trap winning every tournament, and then EU players won the world Championship 2 o 3 years in a row, its incredible when this happen, maybe someday an NA player will win It like neeb did in kespa cup, would be cool
before the start, the prediction of his championship was only 0.37%. We often call that "impossible", literally.
Its crazy he beat the best terran maru and best protoss hero, if he would've beat serral that would've been ultimate, unquestionable domination. I was rooting for maru tbh, he's always almost there, I thought it was finally his turn for the big boy trophy.
@@carrotbringer7194 To add to that, Blizzard just shut down their servers in China, so the SC2 player community is pretty much killed. This championship he won had arguably much more significance than Serral's. It felt like a final, emotional good-bye to the starcraft franchise for most Chinese gamers.
@@haoluo5091 wooooow, so It actually felt like one of the biggest wins of sc2 history, i hope this game will be played till the Next century at least
This man deserves the win. He defeated all the best players of every race on his way to the win. Truly a great run.
He didn't defeat Serral.
@@vaettra1589 I don't really consider Serral better then Reynor. It's a coin flip between the two who will win on any day. He beat Reynor, that's good enough for me. Serral fell to Ragnorok, so obviously this was not Serrals best tournament (not to take anything away from Ragnarok).
@@biometal770 Yeah no, Serral is better than Reynor. Reynor gives Serral a hard time cause ZvZ is Serral's worst matchup, but overall Serral is vastly more dominant than Reynor.
@@elgar7252 okay, so? @everyone let's congratulate and celebrate what has happened. and stop doddling over could be's, should be's.
@@elgar7252 What a silly conversation.. Serral wasn't better than anyone who placed higher than him that day.
I’ve never cheered for anyone harder in my life and I wasn’t even a Time fan before today.
Yep. I ALWAYS root for Maru regardless of anything and I found myself rooting for Time.
one of the best and most emotional tournaments in StarCraft 2 history and I’m glad to have witnessed it live
As an old fan of SC & SC2 from CN, I am so moved by Oliveira/Time 's stroy, I saw a lot of CN fans and broadcasters crying about your speech, I cried together with you and them, It really give us the courage & dream. It is trully one of the beauty of Sport. Thank you Oliveira/Time/李培楠. Thank you StarCraft.
9:41:53 what a quick thinking by Oliveira. Maru was putting 7 tanks on the top while Oliveira's army is cut off, most players would be too pressured and stressed to react like time did. They would probably play defensive by repairing the OC to stall for more time or probably lift it and lose mining time. Oliveira doesn't even hesitate and send 2 dropships to gun down the tanks, he even has the Vikings ready in anticipation of Maru's air defense. Oliveira has been playing out of his mind this tournament, he doesn't think about anything anymore, he just see the chances and take it. Be it snipping her0's pylons and colossus, forcing trade against Reynor and taking engagements against Maru. Dude just doesn't care, he makes the right decisions in a split second and ends up winning. What a dream run, totally deserve the win! I hope he keep this up and continue playing like a mad man. If he goes back to his old self playing passive and respecting his opponent too much i'd be disappointed.
Exactly this, he played without fear
His decision making is awesome and brave
Time/Oli was on his way out. He has been planning on retiring from SC2 pro-gaming for good. This could have been his last tournament, which is probably why he played his heart out with no fear whatsoever.
@@lz4737 he also had nothing to lose
I mean... reynor, hero, maru serral all knew they can get a win
Time just had fun and tried his best
I assume after beating some great players he was just happy he got that far already
Exactly
guys remember, this man doesn't even have a server to play in his own region anymore.
What happened to his server? Did he spill sweet n sour sauce on it?
@@TheVanillatech The company decided to close all servers in China (including other games like WOW)
I ate it, ha ha. But in fact, as a Chinese player, Blizzard shut down all of its servers in China, and I lost all of my Blizzard game accounts and achievements. So you can imagine how difficult and dark this time has been for Chinese players, and you know better what this championship means to us.
is it a political theme?
Non-chinese game makers who want to publish in China for political reasons need to find an agent in China. The two companies cooperate. However, Blizzard was about to be acquired, so in the new round of negotiations, Blizzard put forward many unacceptable requirements in order to obtain more short-term interests, resulting in the termination of the cooperation between the two companies. The move also prevented Blizzard from publishing its games in China.
We lost our CN server, but we get our championship. Li Peinan, it is TIME for you!
李培楠牛逼！
what a great tournament, i loved every day of it but final was simply amazing. Perfect. Thanks to all the casters, lovely Smix and all the team that made it all happen. The production was sooo good.

I'm not crying, you are crying :')
Everybody’s crying! Hehe
Turn off your spy camera at my bedroom, plz.
Congrats Oliveira aka Time! You finally got champion title!
One of the craziest eSports upsets ever! Literally cried during Oliveiras speech
The emotion is is is oh
Where it all really started: 3:45:00. This push, although he lost the game, was the start of something special and it never stopped until... it just never stopped! Kudos to ZG too - this was a great event for her, excellent work.
one of the best moments in esports history, starcraft forever

Amazing ending, congrats Oliveira! Wishing peace and happiness to the Chinese people and the world...
He beat both maru and her0. I cant find anyone more deserve this cup than him. Congrat
Raynor as well... incredible story... true underdog legend
What a story, what a performance, what a person!!! I have never been so moved while watching SC, or actually every other sport. Just UNBELIEVABLE. Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!
also to put it into persepctive, Oliveira beat Renynor, herO and Maru who said that he is in the best form ever (his interview after semifinal). amazing performance.
Yup. They were all at their primes. That is insane. The underdog did it. I don't think we will ever see this again.
Yeah. No "he got lucky" stands. He beat the very best players in starcraft 2 in a row. He just played better than them, as well as they all played. Plain and simple.
Just out of this world
Wow….the entire room in tears. What an emotional experience. Top notch production. Supported the creator community and had one of the best tournaments from top to bottom ever.
I am just normal man - I just train 15hrs a day. I just like starcraft.
He is simply a One Punch Man of SC2.
Never expected this to end up as touching and inspiring as it was. Beautiful story. Congrats to the champ!
Production for this event is top notch. Really great event! Congrats to all involved. Win or lose, presenter or audience, it was a production to be proud of. Wish i was there to see this in person
Amazing tournament, amazing games, players, casters, production. Thank you ESL for one of the best SC2 tournaments ever. Long Live StarCraft!!
What an amazing tournament this has been
Also
Pause
esume functionality came in real clutch, nice to have this live on RUclips
Play like Maru!!!!! He did exactly that. Maru can out play anyone except himself. All 4 games he played like Maru a few years ago. Well deserved win!
Exactly. Those decisive base trades are trade-mark Maru moves.
I hope Starcraft 2 get better marketing team to promote the game and sport. It's still my favorite e-sport but wish more can follow it.
Поздравляем нашего китайского брата, показал просто ошеломляющий Старкрафт!
Комьюнити под впечатлением. Турнир бомба, всё с самого начала пошло не по плану и в итоге закончилось самым наилучшим образом, в мире Старкрафт новый кумир, новый герой.
Practicing 12 hours per day for more than half a year. I think Time deserves the champion.
Congratulations to Oliveira! Amazing run. Best tournament I've seen in years. I'm now a big fan. I'll be following you in the future.
