"Oh they're GAYYY! :D" I nearly spit out my drink haha

Characters in "Warriors" are not real people, just representation of the pro players. But characters in "Rise" are all real pro players. Oh, and "Warriors" was also animated by Fortiche.

7:13 The guy in the red SKT1 shirt goes by the name Faker. He’s the most well known esports player in the world and was the undisputed best player for many years, though an argument could be made he’s still the best. Not only has he won four world championships with his team, he repeatedly pushed the limits beyond what we all thought was possible and repeatedly changed the way everyone played the game. Hearing other pro players talk about him was like they were talking about a god. You couldn’t only play at 100% of your ability against Faker because you’d lose. You had to give it 120% at all times and you’re still likely to come up short. The gap in skill has closed over the years so he isn’t as ahead as he once was, but his run during his prime was seriously legendary stuff. It’s super cool to see him in cinematics like this.

As a League player for 10+ years, Teemo 1000% deserve that kick

The funny fact about Varus is that, when you're playing as him, you constantly hear the other two guys (Valmar and Kai) acting like his two little shoulder angels that stop him from committing mass murder or something-

If you guys liked the last one with Heartsteel, there is a "blooper" version of it, where it's the behind the scene of them making the clip! Also, fun fact, K/DA (which you might have already seen but not published yet), Heartsteel and Pentakill are all from the same "alternative universe"' in League! (So they all know each other, Akali for example, lore wise was part of K/DA first and moved on to True Damage) Also, for K/DA, it's not pronounced K dah, but K, D, A, each letter pronounced individually, it's an acronym that stands for "Kill, Death and Assist" from games in general, and Heartsteel is an add-on in-game and Pentakill, since the game is 5vs5, it means killing the whole team (usually solo or with assists)... I may be geeking out too much, but I love watching you both react to every league video :D

League of legend 's Cinematic: Awaken , Warrior(2020) ,The call ,Still here pls

22:41 yes thats Akali and sang by Soyeon from the Kpop group (G)I-DLE (she is by far one of the best female rappers in Kpop). I rlly hope u will react to League of Legends virtual Kpop group 'K/DA' cause Soyeon as Akali and another member of her Group is in here as well as other american artists. K/DA also has such good music. If I´m not mistaken they have 6 songs out

The rapper for Akali in the video is Soyeon - one of the best female rappers in South Korea and from the group G-IDLE. Can't wait for the K/DA reactions.

crazy how True Damage - GIANTS came out in 2019 and we didnt even know (at least I didnt) about ARCANE yet and they had the poster on the background all this time

The two guys in "As We Fall" are Valmar and Kai. Two hunters from Ionia that yes, are also in a relationship :D Anyways, as you've seen one of them got wounded in the war between Ionia and Noxus (If I recall correctly). Both of them then made contact with a darkin called Varus. - Darkin are essentially warriors from Shurima that corupted over time and went mad. They then got sealed into their weapons by a god and if mortals touch the weapon they get posessed by the darkin within it. - So Valmar and Kai met Varus and the souls of all 3 of them got combined in one Body who acts as a playble character in LoL also called "Varus". Even tho Varus is a Darkin, he is supposed to be one of the more reasonable ones who is not completely nuts und fckd up in the head like Aatrox for example, due to Valmar and Kai calming him down everytime he get's a bit too angry.

22:41 Dee's face/reaction to Akali tells me they will love KDA, can't waittttt, please react to all KDA songs

Oh I rlly rlly hope u will react to the K/DA Music. These are my fav songs from League of Legends

"Oh THEY'RE GAAAY" yes

"that's daddy" "That's so dark, that's so sad" "... I know" XD

I’m so EXTREMELY HYPED for this video!!!! Riots music videos are on another level, loving all the reactions ❤

You should watch league of legends opening ceremony 2019

Damn, Meesh is batting 900 on these champion names, pretty impressive. That Kayle and Rumble pull was crazy, he wasn't even in his contraption.

I have to add context 2019 world were in Europe and Paris. The prestige skin for True Damage Qiyana was designed by Louis Vuitton you can see it when she is in her throne and a glimps of it with her earing LV a little before that. 2019 World premier was a banger

at 23:30 when you see the fan turning the other way and ekkos part coming up the fun fact is that ekkos ult in the game is going back in time so what also happens is the beat reversing :D little detail

Kind of strange to watch the rumble remix before KDA considering they're in the music video.

7:26 Just want to shout FAKKKKKKKKKKKKKER when we saw it in RYZE in the video it is literally THE league legend , when we say to think of a pro player whatever the game, 90% of peoples will say Faker. You have to watch the ceremonie of the worlds 2019 is the worlds of true damage music and the best by far (I do not say that because the final was at my hometown in Paris lmao) plssss you’re the best!

Rise is still peak Worlds cinematic. The storytelling is next level detailing the journey of the previous year world champions, represented there by one of their player "Ambition". One great detail is that "Finger Crossbow" guy (aka Uzi) hits Ambition twice, cracking his glasses and hit his shoulder. That's because Uzi's team beat Ambition's twice during the group stage, but he still gets past him, as his team still qualified for the playoffs, later winning the whole tournament. After the fight with Uzi, Ambition goes through a valley with a bunch of giant statues of champions fighting a dragon. Each year the members of the winning team can pick a character to get a team themed skin in game, and those are all of his team's choices. The dragon is a neutral monster on the map that you can slay for bonuses. Those statues you see in that final arena each hold an orb with the logo of previous world champions, then after Ambition defeats "Faker" (Ryze guy), representing their opponent's in the finals, the logo on his back gets engraved into another orb and he starts celebrating. (Despite Faker being the GOAT, it was probably the most one sided finals in the history of LOL world championships) In the end they have "finger crossbow" guy waking up in the same place where Ambition started because his team was one of the favorites to win that year. There's a lot more going on but that summarizes the main story

If you liked Giants by True Damage, the performed it live at the Worlds 2019 ceremony along with the Awaken and Phoenix songs by their respective artists. Its one of the best opening ceremonies for the LoL world championship they've done.

Don’t think I saw anyone else mention this but the remix rumble was especially fun because in the game you can mix and match the music based on what units you’re using on your board at the time. It was seriously so impressive how well mixed everything was. You could use anything and make it sound amazing.

It's so cool how you recognize the champions in the skin videos. Can't wait till KD/A To help you get to know some of them: Pentakill: Sona (the red hair lady, she isn't ginger and she is also the big DJ lady screen in the Rumble Remix), Olaf (a viking from freljord), Mordekaiser (big Noxus villain), Karthus, Yorick (both from shadow isle) and Kayle (the angel one, she is from an Aspect from Targon but protects Demacia). True Damage: Ekko, Akali, Yasuo, Qiyana (Becky G/ an empress from ixtal that can use manipulate water, grass and rocks), Senna (sentinel of light and Lucian wife, she was trapped in Thresh's lanter for a while and you'll see more of her in other cinematics) Heartsteel: K'sante, Yone, Ezreal (a thief/archeologist from Piltover that is interested in magic artefacts), Aphelios (a Lunari from Targon that lost his voice both in lore and the heartsteel universe, that's why that part when he is in the water is so melancholic), Sett (a half vastayan, his mother was from Ionia and his lost father is a gladiator from Noxus), Kayn (the one that reminded you of Jinx, he used to be Zed's pupil and then got in a weird relationship with a Darkin, they fight over control almost like Kai and Valmar do with Varus)

I need to watch our Queens, KDA!! Man I missed the Steve Aoki one 😭 and I play TFT since s1😭.

The girl in pentakill with the red hair is Sona, she was in Ryze's video for a brief moment, she has those big blue pigtails (like Hatsune Miku). She is mute and plays that piano/harp instrument. She is also the giant DJ in remix rumble in her DJ Sona skin which was an ultimate tier skin(most expensive kind) which came with some EDM songs released. She also appears in the Odissey skin video if you ever watch that (there is Jinx and others). The champs in pentakill are Mordekaiser(guitar), Yorick(bass), Sona(piano), Kayle(voice), Karthus(voice) and later Viego(voice). They have like 3 albums released.And yes the yordles in the video were Teemo, Rumble, Tristana (Recieving rumble's flower) and Poppy (she has a hammer, appears in a skin). Teamfight Tactics started making skins for their game too like Illaoi(in the crowd), Jhin(violin guy) or Bard(jazz guy) that can be seen in remix rumble. Other champs that appear with a skin are Vi, Jinx, Gnar (a yordle that transforms into what you thought is Warwick), Twitch (rat), Amumu (skin is called Emumu cause he is emo lmao), Tahm Kench (catfish demon).

Great reaction. These videos were fire. All the upcoming K/DA ones are gonna be fire (pronounced as individual letters: kay-dee-ay), all the world's cinematics are gonna be fire, and I'm also highly anticipating all the Ruination videos 😊

Riot has launched the so-called Hall of Legends, a tribute to the greatest players, and the first to be inducted was Faker, who is an icon of LoL and a symbol of eSports in general. A documentary was also released in his honor. I think it would be interesting for people to watch it since many play the game because of him. An interesting fact is that he received an in-game skin worth $500.

There is a blooper version of Heartsteel music video, also there are blooper video's of the very first League of Legends video from 2009.

so the metal song is basically a metal group created with champions from league of legends. Karthus the singer, Yorick with the bass, Mordekaiser with the guitar (the biggest guy with the abs), Olaf the drummer, Sona with the synthetiser and Kayle but we can forget about her idk why she is in the group. Those champions got skins for the metal group. They did the same with other champions like the rap hip hop group "true dmg" and the kpop girl group "KDA" or the boys band "Heartsteel".

I didn't even know Remix Rumble had such a cool cinematic! League of Legends character trivia is something that @CarlieAndAnge did for their reactions! I highly recommend trying out what they've done, its fun and makes good content :))

Dang. I wish you guys reacted to the other Warriors League video. It gives so much more context to Runeterra

If you want to know more about the world of League of Legends, you should react to Necrit's - "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done". It explains the basic lore and traits of each region in the universe, including Piltover and Zaun.

18:10 - 18:50 Just straight up 40s of incredible visual poetry.

The varrus one IS EPIC. The imagery of how they fused both minds and bodies. JUST EPIC!

Ekko's Ultimate in-game is like he has an afterimage that he can go back in time to. Thats why 2 guys are rapping for Ekko. Also this was Akali's small team beside K/DA. They are in the same universe.

All living Darkin for now what was know. Members Aatrox - The Darkin Blade Rhaast - The Darkin Scythe Varus - The Darkin Bow Naafiri - The Darkin Dagger Xolaani - The Darkin Bloodletters Naganeka - The Darkin Balista Taarosh - The Darkin Halberd Horazi - The Darkin Lodestone Ibaaros - The Darkin Harpoon Joraal - The Darkin Aegis Styraatu - The Darkin Harp Anaakca - The Dakin Spear Baalcux - The Darkin Staff Praa - The Darkin Fan Valeeva - Unknown Varus&Valeeva story kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNRxaJWbyrOrqXU.html Camavorian Prince Vladimir learned hemomancy from one of the Darkin, who was killed rather than sealed into a weapon. The name Darkin roughly translates to "The Fallen" in ancient Shuriman.

Love that you vibed with the Pentakill video. Most people I show it they immediately hate it.

I'm probably ab it late, but I'll try to answer all your questions: - Darkin are basically demons who were banished into weapons. They usually take over the people who wield them, so Varus coexisting with both 'hosts' is weird and unheard-of in the in-universe lore. (Though not as weird and unheard-of as Naafiri, the Dog who Ate a Knife.) - The Pentakill characters are from all over, but you're right--most of them (the two guitarists and the singer) are from the Shadow Isles. The keyboardist (Sona, who looks weird because she usually has blue hair) is from Demacia by way of Ionia, the drummer is from the Freljord, and you were right--it was Kayle who swooped in at the end, and she's from Targon. So basically all the regions that aren't featured (or mentioned) in Arcane.

i feel like you guys would love reacting to necrit’s vids on league of legends lore in depth, explaining the world of runeterra in detail, the different races of characters, etc!

Oh KDA time is coming. Excited already

I think you guys should check a Finnish band called Nightwish and their song "Ghost Love Score (wacken 2013 live)" Its a known gateway drug to rock and metal music. I've seen countless people reacting to this song saying that they have not liked metal at all before seeing this live performance. Imagine absolute epicness, xena the warrior princess, lots of fire, 82k crowd. There is so many metal genres that there is something for every single person in this world. 😊

I can't wait for you to react to cinematics like "Still Here" and "Warriors" and "Awaken" these are too good to pass

Nice 🎉 Can't wait to see cinematics and KDA :)))

You can't be dropping these banger reactions. I just caught up on all of the league ones yesterday 😂

For "as we fall" the ideal would be to read the comic and the complete story of Valmar and Kai, the end of the story is the video clip As We Fall.

17:33 Both Ionians, one a hunter, the other a warrior. Both fighting in the war against Noxus. Basically....married? Right? The comic from Riot was gorgeous. 20:04 Man, I love that cheeka on the left has some real, if basic, knowledge of the lore. It's nice, since 85% or reacters of these videos have zero clue about the game.

Legends never die is the besttt song in my opinion. The live performance was amazing too at worlds

Darkin are corrupted Ascended. Ascended is someone that went through the ascension ritual to become god warriors in shurima, these warriors went corrupt becouse of their trauma from the void war and damage inflicted on themselves from using blood magic that they've learned. Currently all known darkin are sealed inside of weapons, and when someone touches that weapon the darkin takes over their body, for example Aatrox with his greatsword, Naafiri with the dagger, Kayn and Rhaast with the scythe

Yuo should really watch the Open Ceremonies of each Final World Cup, they bring these music videos to life

You have to watch 2019 opening ceremony, especialy the True Damage part! Crazy good show!

remix rumble was season of teamfigth tatic game, is a game where u form teams of characters. in this season all the team where diferent bands and music styles and when u have a few memeber of one team your background music change into that band style. the crazy is that u can add a second band even a third and the music change as a mix of their styles. the amount of diferent song u can make was incredible, from kda kpop, true damage hip hop, pentakill metal, to electronic, jazz, country, disco even clasic music.. it as Great. u can listen some of those song in youtube many people reocrded the diferent convinations as songs

8:05 - its a World's LOL cup at the top - symbols that only few will be able to climb to achieve it.

"Looks like arcane" its the same studio :D

Stumbled onto this and absolutely loving the reactions, I think you guys should absolutely check out all of the other worlds songs/videos they did for each world championship. I will admit that a solid chunk of the videos will be a bit confusing as many of them feature actual Pro players who were going to be competing that year and so without the context of who they are some bits may be lost as much of the videos are telling their stories (2023’s for example was the story of Deft who has been in competitive league for a very long time and always did good but was never able to take that last step to winning the full worlds championship until the year before) but even still many of them have absolutely stunning visuals as they’re animated by Fortische and the songs are always amazing (it’s a running joke at this point that the videos and songs are better than the game itself)

One of Leauge's fictional bands pentakill has a whole concert you can watch.

Teemo is considered to be literally Satan because his primary play style is stealthing with his passive, running away, poisoning with his basic attack, denying empowered basic attacks and infesting the map with poisonous mines. He is in the top 2 of most obnoxious to play against champions. (Also according to his lore he's a psychopath assassin while on a mission.) Hence why he gets kicked off by Kayle.

Don't worry, being able to actually understand the lyrics of a metal song is a skill most of us have to acquire over time😆Metal is a very vibes-based genre so it's totally fine so long as you feel it out. "As We Fall" is one of my favorite hidden gems in the Riot music catalog 😭I'm always happy to see it getting some love 🥰

There are several shorts for the hartsteel clip that were shot as if from the filming of the clip) I advise everyone, it lifts the mood.

I love Rumble Remix. Its for the previous season of Teamfight Tactics, another game from Riot based on League of Legends. Basically you have a bunch of different champions, each with their own "faction" and traits. And in that season each faction had its own theme song and if you played various factions at the same time the song remixed just like it did on the video. It made every game fun to listen to at the very least. I miss it.

The Darkin are a bunch of DemiGod-Warriors from Ancient Shurima that were corrupted during the Void War from the bloodmagic they used during the war. Thats what I know at least. Notable ones are Varus (this video), Rhaast (Chapion name is Kayne), and Aatrox (Still Here cinematic). There are more, but I think these are the more intersting ones. The important thing to know about them is that they are completely immortal, but they are sealed within their weapons. Varus is a bow, Rhaast a scythe, and Aatrox a sword. They possess people that make contact with them and reshape their bodies to be more like their original shape, which is why we see Varus form over the guy in the well.

Their music videos are always banging, can't wait to see more League from you guys. Do hope we get to see individual champion reactions with their own voicelines and music themes here on this channel tho!

Damn Remix Rumble is pretty sick

Watching these always makes me wanna play again. They're so nostalgic lol

13:40 Sona (the character with the "piano") uses one of her abilities that gives a speed boost in game to make Mordekaiser (the guitarist) faster for the solo and i think this is a really really awesome touch that i only just recently noticed myself. Also Varus is basically 2 and a half men. xD

6:33 Uzi as Vayne, I would say the most famous Chinese League player ever.

8:10 is nice you try to guess, the regions, the champions and the situations, but keep in mind that worlds videos have 0 lore, is all about the players and the champs they play or played in the last worlds championship

Remix Rumble was AMAZING never saw the music vid but I did play it (its not league of legends but teamfight tactics which I feel like you guys would enjoy as its like chess) but during that season each champ were either from Jazz, Disco, Emo, Pentakill, etc. and putting diff champs of diff genres in one board mixes each one so beautifully especially with the Violinist (Jhin) That season was a bit unbalanced but the concept of it is my most favorite till today

The rise video was about the story of the team that won worlds the year before,,, every fight in the video represents an iconic match that the winning team had… for someone who watch worlds it looked crazy good.. i enjoyed ur reaction also very lovely :)

It's true that most of pentakill's cast are from the shadow isles. The drummer(from freljord) and the winged woman at the end(kayle is from demacia) and the one at the keyboard(sona also from demacia)

If you guys liked the violin from Remix Rumble, then you're gonna love this. Look up the Jhin login screen theme. Jhin is the guy that was playing the violin in the Remix Rumble video. Violin is 🔥 in his theme. Almost every champion in the game has their own theme music. Many of them are EPIC af. For example, Jhin, Pantheon, Fiddlesticks, Senna, Renata Glasc, etc.

For lore purpose you guys should absolutely watch "The world of Riot´s MMO is already done" by Necrit. He goes through the whole world through the lens of its viability as an MMORPG game but you dont need to be interested in that at all. What it does more importantly is give the most broad and digestible understanding of the whole world and universe.

The band members of Imagine Dragons play Leauge of Legends themselves! They said they were almost late to a concert once because they all played Leauge together 😂

I highly recommend reacting to the live world performance for True Damage! It's really good!

After watching the music videos, please watch Worlds Finals Openings, it's really huge, the effort they put on this events are unique, my favourite one is True Damage presentation in Paris, France, 2019 I guess.

Damn! Didn't expect the Remix Rumble to be on the list! 👍🏽 Great addition from the TFT cinematics. Also Remix Rumble has a part 2 I think with the remaining genres.

Oh I love the league of legends songs, I don’t even play the game. I also really like to listen to you. I prefer this calmer reaction over screaming.

So Varus is like 2 dudes 1 darkin 😏. I forgot their names but they're pretty much voices in his head now that the darkin has control over their body .btw varus is that bow

I'm super late to this video but I see no one really explained the As We Fall video with the 2 lovers from Ionia Valmar and Kai (Valmar is the one dragging Kai at the beginning and Kai is the injured one). They are both Ionian and were under attack all of a sudden by Noxus. Valmar fought with Kai and unfortunately Kai was struck multiple times by arrows. Kai told Val to run but Valmar was told about an ancient magic that could repair that which has been lost which is that well. They didn't know but in reality that well was guarding a sealed Bow that contained a Darkin. The Darkin are basically these ancient fallen Gods that are immortal and can only be sealed within their weapons. Val was trying to save Kai by taking him to the well and sacrificed his own body but instead the Darkin that was sealed inside basically fused their bodies into Val's body. 3 different beings in 1 body. At first Varus (The Darkin that was sealed) took over Val's new body with Val and Kai's souls still being able to communicate within. Varus is a creature of revenge and retribution. He basically fed into Val's anger at the Noxians and controlled him to hunt down the Noxians that hurt Kai. Kai begged Val basically to let go of his anger and that he still loved him. Eventually Val came to his senses and together they fought against Varus internally and took control of the body. Now they seek a way to be free of the Darkin and return home to Ionia only after they've gotten rid of Varus and find a way to be themselves again. There is an entire comic dedicated to this video and I highly recommend you guys read it whenever you get the chance. There's actually an entire comic about Katarina too as well since I know you guys like her a lot too. She has a lot of cool lore that is intertwined with Noxus and Demacia. Loved watching you guys as always can't wait till you guys get to listen to KDA music videos with Akali. Ya'll are gonna lose it when you see their videos.

>Varus climbs out of the well merged wit Val and Kai >"that's daddy" brilliant

Watch the fire to the fuse cinematic. The animation is nice and the song is great. I highly recommend

I love so much this reaction.Thank you for the video

You HAVE to watch True Damage live in Paris Finale !!

"Rise" is one of what they call the Worlds Anthem songs - each year for Worlds, Riot has been putting out a song/music video to hype up the eSports side of the game. Rise features a Korean player called Ambition; Ambition had been a long time veteran of the Korean League scene and despite being of the best players in the Korean scene had never found much title success being overshaded by another Korean player called Faker. Faker by then had won worlds 3 times, had multiple wins in the domestic Korean league and was (and still is) regarded as the GOAT of League. In 2017 Faker and his team T1 were going for their 4th worlds title and were up against Ambition and his team Samsung Galaxy. Ambition/Samsung were able to defeat them and Ambition finally pick up his first worlds win. So the video for 2018 is showing Ambition's 'Rise' to the top, as he defeats some other big name players (European player Perkz and Chinese player Uzi, before facing the 'final boss' Faker).

Quick easy primer: Darkin are an ancient race of pretty much Demigods from Shurima. They used to be called the God Warriors.. but they directly fought the Icathian Void and lost their leadership, then Azir was betrayed and they lost their king and kingdom, and then they spiraled into madness. That madness got them punished by the Aspects, specifically the Aspect of Twilight (currently Zoey, the one before her did this), and their souls were banished into their weapons. Those weapons, when held, release the demigod level soul and power into the person/thing holding it. At current, the Darkin officially as league characters are Varus (bow), Aatrox (sword), Naafiri (dagger), and Kayn/Rhaast (scythe)... there are still a few God Warriors though too, so Azir and Nasus have kept their sanity... but Renekton lost his mind.

13:00 I got robbed. Here's the shadow of one of my mains from back in like 2013, and she has like 3.5 seconds screentime at 14:07 , the end of the song. :/ 14:32 Of course it's Teemo. What other champion in League does EVERYONE want to see get kicked in the face? 14:50 The lyrics for Pentakill's first 2 albums are quite epic, dark, and strangely positive.

One of my favorite videos that they've done is Phoenix from 2019. I trust that you guys will get to that one. As for the KPop, one of the single biggest markets for League is Korea, and many of the high-profile professional players are Korean. Not saying that as a bad thing by any means, but it is where a lot of the KPop influence comes in. And when it comes to KPop, just wait until you get to K/DA...

19:41 bruh…she said daddy😂

WAHOO!!!! God I love the MVs, especially Paranoia

Would love to see you react to some of the world championship performances where they perform the songs live with some of the latest special effects.

Aw man almost 40 min of music videos on a lazy sunday. Yall are spoiling us! Had to add: Ultimate Mommy = Dee-sh 🤣

Normally there are 2 types of worlds video, 1 they follow the story of a palyer, like in the Rise one we follow Ambition and his jorney in the worlds and he has the 3 weapons of the his 3 main champions "Kha'zix clwas", "Sejuanis leash????" and "Jarvan IV spear" and of course in the finals he met SKT T1 and probably the most important person in League which is the midlaner Faker playing his amazing Rize

i love how they at least know a little bit of lore and facts about the mvs. cuz some reactors just react and go without understanding what reallly was happening in the mvs.

U must see open ceremony WC, its was amazing

Its actually insane how many little details you notice and recognize.

I don't know if you guys will read this comment but!! The champion Becky G voices in GIANTS is Qiyana! She's an ixtali elemental mage who lives in a hidden empire in the jungle. Lately Piltover has been trying to harvest their resources for themselves, which ended up... not smoothly for them (Qiyana single-handledly massacred an entire encampment), so she has beef with Pilties!

"Honestly, I wasn't a big imagine dragons fan until..." "Edibles?" I swear that's what I heard at first. And hell, it holds a bit of water. 😂

Great reaction! And you will get more top ones the more you watch :)
