Korean baseball league winners get a giant sword - the best trophy ever?

Kudos to Rabuzin’s sun, the Champions League trophy and the FA Cup cup, but the Korean baseball league winners got by far the best trophy in trophy history. Although it is not official, it is still the best.

And this is what the official trophy looks like:

The regular trophy for the winners is the usual weight for paper that is usually obtained, but the ownership of the club that won the league decided to deserve a better trophy.

NC Dinos are owned by NCSoft, the gaming company behind the gaming hits from the Lineage MMO franchise. They gave their team a celebration and a trophy like no one else in the world - a huge sword.

The NCSoft, the parent company of the NC Dinos, is well-known for their mobile games, including the acclaimed "Lineage" series. One of the biggest items in the game is the big sword (집행검) and it is brought to life in the ceremony. #KBO https://t.co/4v033TpjTx

Obviously, they are more excited about this trophy than the actual trophy.

This is fantastic. Feel good news. We are a little late for the party, they got the sword at the end of November, but today we came across a photo and were completely delighted. Every kid, regardless of whether he is 5 or 35 years old, dreams of one day getting a huge sword. We had to share this.
