The awards ceremony honoring outstanding individuals and organizations of the LPL in 2020 has come to a close. Alongside the impressive achievements of Suning and the rare “power outage” incident, the event also witnessed the extremely high-quality display of “dog food” by the couple Rookie – Hilda, one of the most famous couples in the global League of Legends scene.
With her active contributions over the past year, female MC Hilda was honored with the Most Favorite MC award. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Rookie had a less successful season and did not win any nominations.
However, he expressed immense pride and happiness as he witnessed his girlfriend receive her award.
In a further display of chivalry, when Hilda returned to her seat struggling with her dress, he offered to hold the trophy and escorted her back to her spot.
On the other hand, the online community in China has been sharing that the outfit Rookie wore during the awards ceremony was personally chosen by Hilda.
Not only was their love on full display on stage, but the gaming community quickly noticed that except for the time Hilda was conducting interviews, the couple hardly left each other’s side throughout the entire program, even with TheShy always by their side (since TheShy is still not fluent in Chinese like Rookie, he always stays close to ask his older brother… to translate some phrases) indulging in the “dog food”.
After the series of photos from the LPL 2020 Awards Gala were published, both the gaming community and Hilda and Rookie’s friends and colleagues jokingly remarked that their demeanor made the event look like a lavish wedding.
And indeed, this observation holds merit, as the dress Hilda wore to receive her award looked no different from a wedding gown, while Rookie’s white suit resembled that of a… groom.
In fact, during an interview segment of the program, Hilda revealed the couple’s plans for marriage. She stated: “I want everything to happen naturally. So marriage will wait until he (Rookie) retires. He is a very dedicated player, while our relationship is also at a balanced state. Both our careers are growing, and we haven’t thought deeply about it as we are both too busy.”
Through Hilda’s response, fans finally understood why Rookie is so eager to retire…
