Is the trophy so heavy that he could only lower his head for the selfie?

3. Smells Like Teen Team Spirit ➡️ Smells Like Team Spirit

The meme came from a classic line by English broadcast caster SPUNJ after Team Spirit beat Vitality— SPUNJ: Beating Vitality may have put them in Nirvana, but this grand final has already started to smell like Team Spirit.

Does this count as the real runner-up in terms of raw strength?
