For those who cry easily, this one’s for you. G2 Esports threw a surprise contract renewal party for Sergen “BrokenBlade” Çelik. What League of Legends players thought was a content shoot turned into an emotional surprise for the top laner, whose family flew in especially for the occasion.
We surprised BrokenBlade at his contract renewal party!!!
The players were led to believe that they were filming the next edition of Topfather, a content sketch that has become synonymous with the player. But what happened was something much more special. G2 didn’t want to make a regular contract renewal announcement video; they wanted to create content that captured the special character of BrokenBlade.
As the players donned their costumes and ran through their “fake” scripts, BrokenBlade’s closest family and friends were already gathered at the venue, awaiting his arrival. As anyone would, BrokenBlade was in shock as his family screamed in surprise. After greeting everyone, G2’s League general manager Romain Bigeard took the microphone and addressed the crowd.
Romain emphasized that with the departure of Luka "Perkz" Perković, the team needed a captain, a player who could stand up and be the voice of the team. Romain believes BrokenBlade took that role and ran with it, earning himself a new contract in the process. At the end of the speech, BrokenBlade was shown a short video of many former teammates and close friends congratulating him on the contract extension. In this video, BrokenBlade burst into tears, as we all did.
