That final was watched by more than 100 mln people btw. So yeah, esports is definitely growing 😅

the guy speaking french who also says "PARIIIIIIIIS" isn't enough of a hint to tell you where this was held?

Just a little thing to add Joey ...the Trophy Case was designed by Louis Vuitton The Finals were held in Paris with the teams being G2 Esports from Europe and FPX from China that is why the Stadium errupted at the presentation of the G2 members

Ice *appears* Crown: That's so fire

The League of Legends finals are held in a different country/city each year. It's been in the US before, Korea, etc... the most recent one was in Paris.

they generally pull out all the stops for the finals; their other tournaments don't hold a cake compared to this

The second lady that comes in at 7:56 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 written 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. So she looks back abit in regret theese days,wishing she could speak to her younger self. 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. 9:09 That is actually Chrissys own trademark move,you will see it 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 theyr 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 here 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? LOL. I know im seriously late for this reaction,but i just recently discovered that so many had reacted to Chrissys and ATCs LOL songs. Both Cailin and Chrissy are beyond gorgeous,here they talk about working with this song,so you can catch abit of theyr personalities: Making of Phoenix | Worlds 2019 - League of Legends

Next concert is in Shanghai, China. November 2020. You can check other opening ceremony 2018 and 2017.

Always a fantastic reaction lovely joey thanku love an god bless x

Aas a league player for years now, i would like to add some context, this presentation, when live was the first play of Giants, and the release of the music vid, for the fans, at least to me and those i talked to, there was pure, RAW emotion felt during the finals, because of the energy, the hype, and then the disappointment of G2 being 3-0d like it was nothing

G2 had trophy already bcs they won MSI (2nd biggest tournament in lol) that year. If they won that final they would be first team in lol history that completed Grand Slam (2 splits of regional league, MSI and Worlds).

Imagine being a team and be presented like this

After this video check out my new song “2020” LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aciFfc2ZqZPFg40.html DO YOU NEED A REACTION VIDEO TO YOUR SONG?? (HIT MY EMAIL IN DESCRIPTION)

Bruh... I really really like that reactions.. Keep going like that bro, im supporting you :D

I ve had the chance the be there that day, it was the best day ever even tho G2 lost.

Fly, Phoenix Fly FPX: Okay, 3-0

ik all of this videos amazing but the question marks give me chills everytimeee 6:05

I will stand by my statement: League of Legends needs to focus on the music. I mean, can you imagine what concerts in stadiums would look like if this became the new standard? Not only that, but the music hits HARD. Give these fictional bands the Gorillaz treatment, please!

Im waiting for skt t1 comeback and the unkillable demon king

This Year the Show will be bigger than ever before, becouse this Year is 20 Years League of Legends, i am so hyped...

>Uploads a video titled *World Championship Finals* >"hmm, looks like people come from all over the world to play this game" >Imagine my *chock!*

yes many of them do their live stream on twitch

the next final is 31/10/20

*"notifycation squad"* btw no hate bro only love

Hello PARIS 2 second later "where this was held?" :v

this was in Paris

So I’m thinking to myself, man there really are so many black men nowadays making reaction channels and it’s pretty stereotypical for s black man to “over react”. Then I realized I’m being a grumpy bastard. I legitimately enjoyed your take.

Bruh, we gotta accept our age. There are 12year olds who will beat us in Call of duty, fortnite, League of legends. I thought I was the best in Mortal Kombat and street fighter 2!

You wanna say who is this?!? Check out mike stud man! “These Days” “Swish” “Win” “Don’t Jump” “Brightside” any song man they’re all great and all have different vibes. He’s a lot like drake with the melodies in some songs. Check him out!! Can’t wait for your reactions!!!! #CROWNFAMILY Intensify commenting: CHECK.

Man, better late than never. Really dude, get up to speed quick with this particular game's scene, content and hype. Learn it quickly to be up to speed and in the flow of the hype when they drop some more bomb content and continue to grow this year.

2018 opening ceremony pls

it aint no concert its fucking worlds

Game is fun.. When you got right mind set about playing it.. But honestly learning curve is horrid.. Player base isn't exactly nice.. No one wants to play with people who don't know what there doing.. So that toxic part of community... Played sense around season 2 myself.. Id suggest avoiding messing with it myself unless your well versed video gamer

watchu mean is this good? ofc it is lol

maybe u would like the game but its not for people who dont like competitive mind fqs. and theres lots of toxicity

nah ur gonna have to get invested in the sport or just go to the finals.

Too many pauses

1:55 you're absolutely wrong, we don't play because we love the game, infact, most of us who play ranked competitively absolutely hate the game, we're just addicted to it
