Tokido's comments on the stage

"Thank you for choosing me as the MVP for the entire event. I will be 40 years old this year, and I have been going to game arcades and playing games long before the term 'e-sports' was invented. At that time, it was not such a glorious thing, and there were seniors who had to quit doing what they loved, but I believe that now there are many people who have never heard of such a time. I am still leading the way and will pass on the thoughts of the seniors from that time, so please continue to support me. "
