In fact, the audience does see all of this.

I felt it when you got emotional bro.. truly good stuff guys. Is like Riot Games is like Riot Studios now xD

"this is for a VIDEO game" Bro this GAME is my life 😂😂😂

"This is for a video game!" - JV When you pull in more viewers than the Super Bowl, you gotta go big. LoL Worlds 2019 viewership: 100M+ 2019 Super Bowl: 98 million 2019 World Series: 23 million (game 7) 2019 NBA Finals viewership: 15 million 2019 Rose Bowl: 17M The 2019 LoL Worlds Finals peaked at 44M concurrent viewers, just under the AFC Championship game's *total* viewership and about equal to the NFC Championships' audience. No other sporting event that year came anywhere close to League's audience numbers.

HE ACTUALY CRIED!? holy s***!!! love the reaction man!

Rise was Worlds 2018 song, Phoenix is the 2019 song. The Giants song was presented here for the first time and Awaken was released in early 2019, that's why it's here. The 2018 opening ceremony had Rise and KDA.

The Trophy box was made by Louis Vuitton

Best reaction to the opening ceremony I've seen so far. So emotional and true!

7:34 live blade dancing on stage, what a time to be alive.

For this ceremony, they used glass panes to reflect images on to them. I forget what the effect is called, but it's basically that simple. This way the audience can also see the effects unlike holograms that are only seen after "planting" the image afterwards. EDIT: also a thing to note, the trophy box was designed by a Louis Vuitton designer. c:

There is a thick screen covering all sides of the stage, so yeah the audience was able to see all this live!

Moments like this are the validation of a lot of our childhoods. I get the emotion, man. For so long, gaming was looked down on as something for children. Those of us who took that as a hobby early on had to endure a whole lot of people telling us that games didn't matter, that you could never go anywhere with them, that they were a waste of time. This is our proof that those people were wrong. Gaming has blown up in a huge way since I was a kid. These guys aren't just kids playing computer games - they're professional athletes with multimillion dollar contracts, sponsorships, celebrity acclaim in their home regions. They're treated like rock stars. It's amazing to see people who dedicated their lives to something get recognition for being good at it, and Riot knows how to go all out. Every year they top themselves and come out with some crazy new technology, incredible performers, and just ridiculous amounts of hype around their tournaments. It's an experience unlike anything else in the world. It's like a sporting event + concert + comic/cosplay convention all rolled into one.

This is called 100% genuine reaction. The hologram technology is very cool and yes the peoples sitting there could see exactly same as we saw in the video there is video on the youtube of someone recording it with his cellphone its awesome it really blew me away the first time i saw

I'm crying too at the moment when logos of champions was out,that moment is so sick,I have chills and idk...it is so amazing,wp Riot Games,you pulled emotions out of me.

I thought I was crazy cause i cried! I feel you bro! I feel you!!! ♥

This was hands down the best opening ceremony they did so far, and yes they had screens between the audience and the artist so the autdience could see it, usually they had cgi stuff that only was visbile on a big screen as if you would watch it from home, this was just an insane step up.

YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH THE OPENING CEREMONY FROM BRAZIL. WAS REALLY COOL TOO

09:13 da feels, I feel you bro.

My week has been made. Have been hoping for this reaction since the true damage video.

I loved that you cried good reaction ! and keep playing league man don't give up!

This is what I call quality reaction! Was crying with you my man. Here is my sub!

I get very emotional over a lot of the hype stuff for League. I have such a love for these teams and the scene.

This is really some next level stuff I saw the behind the scene and they say that the box at the end which was the trophy was not opening till like 5-6 mins before the show like imagine after the that sick stuff like holograms and the amazing performance the main part of the while opening where the trophy appears just doesn't work also they were working for those holograms for like 8-9 months prior to the world cup.

I love your reaction they are always so genuine 😭

every time i see these kind of videos i realize how good of a game league is and how much i love it

What a touching reaction, I loved your evident emotions! One thing that you wouldn't have known, and makes that moment with the Louis Vuitton box opening up to reveal the Summoner's Cup even more special, is that the floating logos behind it were for all the previous winners of the World championship, dating back to 2011 =)

Thats a cool reaction, thanks for watching this! As a fan and avid player since the beta of the game and follower of the LoL professional scene since the beginning, seeing how huge and amazing these things have gotten is awesome to see and be a part of as a fan/player.

I cry too when i see that fantastic show

really gj guys it was transparent screens, all the people can see what you`ve seen in the video, the singers, the public, the players it was amazing gj guys

Good for you bro showing your emotions, such a weakness in men. You're strong lad, never change. Most men can't show that side of themselves. 👏👏👏👏

A reação desse cara foi a minha quando vi pela primeiras 200 vezes essa abertura e até hj ainda me emociono com essa super produção do kct

This is my 10th time watching this video reaction, I love the reaction

Came back just to enjoy this again with you two

8:15 That guy with the costume in the audience killed me xD

Best reactions chanel ever seen ❤️

The audience could see. The singers/rappers are in a holographic item called a Holo-Net. Its like a see-through screen in the both sides and both front and back. And theres like a projection and makes the holographic characters and everything. But don't think they are fake and just a holograph. The singers are really there but the effects that is effecting the singers are just holograms.

It's so relieving finding out other people cried or got emotional watching this!

When u showed ur true emotions for the no.1 esports game in the world, u earned a Sub my man. u earned it.

The audience can see. It’s like a projection on a whiteboard. There was a transparent fabric or mesh placed surrounding the whole stage and projected the animation on to the fabric. So if we were there some angles would look weird

you can see everything live it's multiple screens behind and front of the singers with projections on them (you can kinda see the screens in 2:30 sideway view)

The technoligy is called projecting screens. :) Both the singers an audience can see it live.

just watched this reaction this year, loved it! if you want to see rise, watch the 2023 worlds opening ceremony. amazing performance!!

ur reaction had more genuine emotions than laura lee's apology i love u both great video

No idea why but this song just makes you emotional

They already performed rise at the 2018 opening ceremony

The first few opening ceremonies required an app to see dragons and certain things to see during the singing. Now last 2 ceremonies holographic technology has upgrades significantly.

9:00 that box was made by LV for their league of legends colaboration

Make sure to buy tickets for words 2020..... it's a must guys!

Mad this reaction was amazing as the opening ceremony and u crying to this.. I feel u bro and for that I must subscribe to u.. More tears homie lol

Man what pure hearth you have, i use t copete,now im old (42) but silll enjoy this

you can react to rise in the opening in 2018 worlds! It was a bit disappointing for the lead singer's voice, but the show was good. BTW the crowd can see this live.

they create anthem for worlds every year Rise was for 2018 , legend never die for 2017 , phoenix for 2019 , ignite for 2014 , worlds collide for 2015 and they give a live performance on the anthems on the day of finals as you saw in the opening ceremony

I fucking love the original Tron! subbed for emotional support!

During this Ceremony they used 360° Holonets so that the Holograms could be seen by everyone no matter where you were sitting,you can think of it as an invisible box on stage containing the Holograms even some of the singers were duplicated as Holograms so they could disappear or move upside down!

I get emotional when hard work and dedication create masterpieces, this is one of those times

the event space: how much money would you like to spend on this years worlds? riot: yes.

yes they can see it... they use a box like screen what they did on Miku Hatsune concert... the dark stage given it away so it can display hologram easily...

Don't feel bad. 4 years later and I STILL get choked up during Phoenix.

It has a glass in front of them then they projected the image since it's dark it can be seen in a naked eye

They does have screens at front and back of the stadium so everyone saw what happens in the stage

If you wanna see the live version of RISE, watch the Opening Ceremony from 2018.

There were hologram "carpets" hanging in front of the stage, which displayed the holograms. It looked real cool.

Even more impressive is that, despite being for an esport, the world championship, that event there, got more viewers than the Super Bowl did this year

you guys can watching live final worlds league of legends next year dont worry .. make sure book ticket before sold out !!

노래가 하나같이 다 너무너무 좋아!!

What a great time to be alive. When I was growing up video games where frowned upon, looked as a waste of time and associated with anti-social behavior. Well look at what video games are doing now. We have a videogame company that is making better music than most artists and creating events bigger than the Superbowl. Thank you Riot Games for making the world a better place. And thank you guys for reacting to this, I also shed a manly tear!

The second lady that comes in at 7:07 is Chrissy Costanza,leadsinger in the New York founded rock band Against The Current. She actually blew up with her band after the massive lockdowns happened just a few years ago now. When they released theyr first lockdown song "Weapon". But she recently posted a picture of herself with a golden record behind her,where she was open about her younger self was way too hard on herself,and way too much "on the fence" in regards to being confident in her being good enough to achieve things in music. And how much her award was thanks to her favourite game for years and years,as she did League of Legends -Legends Never Die "soundtrack" back in 2017 for the Worlds finals,and the devs liked her soo much that they invited her back in 2019 to do a duet with Cailin Russo with Phoenix. Chrissy has been a huge gamer for years,she plays together with Alan Walker (Music producer and DJ,both of them had theyr breakthroughs by simply being KZfaqrs publishing theyr material,hoping to get discovered) AverageJonas (ex professional Overwatch player,now a freelance commentary,streamer etc) No matter who she plays with,she says its simply her hanging out with friends,there are no egoes in play,they just goof around and have fun. She has 2 main games she has streamed for years,and that is League Of Legends and Valorant. Thats how the developers heard about her,got in touch with her,became a fan of her band and BOOM,her dream of "monster hits" became a reality. 8:04 That is actually Chrissys own trademark move,you will see on every tour with Against The Current. The developers were aware of this,both in 2017 and in 2019 and they wanted her move in the choreography both times. Dreams can come through when you got developers behind a game you have loved for years,that loves you just as much. That move has its own emote on twitch,she has called ChrissyBend 😁 I have been in her community since the lockdowns happened,thats why i have some "inside information",as i support her and ATC as much as i can,and stay updated. Even talk abit with her in between. At New Years Eve in 2019 the developers had a show in China,where they wanted Phoenix to be performed. I think Cailins schedule made it too difficult for her to make it,so far away. But Chrissy upon being asked said: "Sure,ill be there!" And she carried that song all by her lonesome. We who support her have heard alot of hate on her (typical online stuff,hating just to hate... mostly out of ignorance etc) Chrissy has also been hard on herself for many years when she was younger,and she still has days when she fights her own mind,so i see myself in her alot. Being your own worst enemy at times,stuff like that. So we tend to take the fight for her,and try our best to buff her confidence up whenever we can. Chrissy rightfully says that shes not the most powerful singer out there (i do think alot do underestimate her though,as her co-vocalist on Phoenix,Cailin, calls her a powerhouse),but her performing Phoenix alone quickly became my favourite version of that song. And what puts tears to my face,is to see her quick looks into the crowd....and everywhere she looks,the crowd is going off vibing to her performance,and we who know her well by now,see that it ignites a spark in her eyes,and she just owns that song from thereon out! "Chrissy Costanza - Phoenix (Live in China) [2019 NYE Concert]" Chrissy is an absolute sweetheart of a personality. Imagine you been streaming for hours and hours,vocal chords are probably tired from talking ingame and to chat,then someone enters chat and asks if you can sing Legends Never Die and Phoenix? What does Chrissy do? "Chrissy Sings 13 - Phoenix & Legends Never Die". She starts singing,while casually slaughtering other players in Valorant on stream lol. And what if 1 person comes in towards the very end of that same stream,when shes defintly worn out and you can both see and tell that shes really tired? Here is what Chrissy first responds with and then does: "Chrissy Sings 18 - Phoenix" If you are curious about wich songs blew up her band during the pandemic,2 of the videos are actually made as follow ups/sequels after one another. Against The Current - that won't save us [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (This song also has a acoustic version with a video,and a performance version of the official video,myself i prefer the performance version,it will still give you a "cliffhanger" at the very end,wich leads into a sequel) The sequel and i think still till this day,theyr biggest hit to date: Against The Current - weapon [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (This also has a stunning official acoustic version,i recommend all of them,because this band is seriously versatile) They followed thoose 2 stunning hits,with theese 2 just last year: Against The Current - again&again (feat. guardin) [OFFICIAL VIDEO] & Against The Current - jump [OFFICIAL VIDEO] There is also another stunning collab in regards to League Of Legends,this time for LEC (League Of Legends European Championship Series). Where they have 2 other hopeful artists with them,wich gives the song both rap and singing vocals, LEC x Against The Current: Wildfire l 2022 LEC Spring Promo. Did i say the devs love Chrissy and ATC? I know im seriously late for this reaction,but i just recently discovered that so many had reacted to Chrissys and ATCs LOL songs.

I know a few people who went there. This is exactly what the people saw on stage! No idea how they pulled it off. The box was designed by Louis Vuitton

I was there, those were real. Its glass outside so we could actually see the animations.

Riot Games in my opinion has the best event openers ever, too op gg

Btw it's not holograms x: Those are called AR = Augmented Reality. If the audience had glasses on, they saw everything. Also if you go back when Valerie (the girl sining Awaken) walks onto the stage you see transparent screens on either side of the Box (with the trophy).

Yes they can see it riot games is known from their crazy holograms in fact last year they made a dragon fly in stage it was really cool

opening cermony with rise and legends never die, are also pretty cool

Transparent screens around the stage. Makes a holographic feeling by placing the images in different sizes according to where they're supposed to appear to be on the stage. This technology has been used for a while, although not as polished. Examples: Miku and Gorillaz concerts.

2:24 - 2:25 you can see like glass or a transparent screen in front of them. That helps with the holograms that you see.

I still love how phoenix won they truly did fly with the song LMAO

In fact, you should just see each of the World's Ceremony. You can see the development from the each year too.

yep, the audience and singers can see those images =)

Can't wait for next years opening ,it will be huge .it's the 10th world they will go all in I'm sure.

The audience sees all

Kda at 2018 or the dragon 2017 was cgi and not visible in the stadium. This was projected on screens so "almost" everyone int the arena could see them

i loved his reaction, and she...she doesn't even care about the ceremony, she's just trying to understand it with no emotions or fake reactions :v

6:38 They performed "Rise" at the 2018 Worlds Championship. Same year as they performed K/DA - Pop Stars.

when his eyes started to get redish omgg I got chills bruh

if u want to see them perform RISE watch the 2018 Opening ceremony

dannng you got emotional. And you guys dont even play the game. That proves that the work and dedication Riot Games puts behind all this is worth it! You guys are REAL ones!

I was there and I was able to see everything!

Y desde la temporada donde salio Lucian vengo diciendo que Riot con LoL logro llevar el espectáculo a lo alto en todos los aspectos audiovisuales, acá esta demostrado que LoL es lo máximo

They see it, the setup consists in almost transparent "nets" on which the effects are projected. It must just be weird for the people seeing it from a differente angle though, because they see distorted images that are also completely out of allignment with the singers

Anyone can go, if you want buy tickets for the one next year

and now you see why worlds have beeten the superbowl last year. havent heard this years numbers but i would still think they won this year too.

I thought i'm the only one crying watching it

best opening is the one with "legends never die " theme

That box for the trophy was designed by Louis Vuitton. They actually asked Riot if they could get the right to do so. IF you pay attention then you can see in the True Damage - Giants video that most wear Louis V.

This quality of show is sponsored by China (tencent) money and mastercard and Rito gems huge EXP in Esport scene

Honestly, its much better than FIFA WORLD CUP 😍😍😍😍😍

Thats our super bowl

Man actually cried, what a champ

next year will be a blast.

Oh man! You missed the player introductions!!! :DD
