The NC Dinos defeated the Doosan Bears 4-2 in Game 6 of the Korean Series to win the organization’s first KBO championship, and the team’s owners created a very unique (and potentially dangerous) alternative trophy to celebrate the occasion.
The NC Dinos – a recent expansion franchise that only just joined the KBO in 2013 – are owned by NCSoft, a Korean video game company well known for massively multiplayer online role-playing games such as Guild Wars and Lineage. According to Kotaku, NC Soft made a replica of the Execution Sword, an extremely valuable in-game item from Lineage, to present to the team for the victory – and it looks incredible. I just hope they tucked it away safely once the champagne started flowing in the clubhouse.
