Everytime I watch Ticking Away, such a huge smile appears on my face, but I don't know there's always sadness too. Like, I miss Jingg, Thats' who I'm remembering everytime I watch this!!!
The storytelling is just CRAZY. The tako that they won from the claw machine (00:23) when they were kids (it shows them dropping it but the sequence ends with ONE MORE token being put in), ends up being their LAN garage padlock key (1:30) and Handfool presumably still holds on to it (2:41). The spin move that broke his ankles (00:28) ends up inspiring him to make a move in game (2:44). The shot-calling of his friend (1:01) ends up inspiring him to call his own shots (2:42). He even has the same stretch his friend has (1:34) (2:33). He pastes the 'ONE MORE' tape (2:22) as a substitute for the banner he has in his room (1:50) which originally came from the LAN garage (1:12) (3:06). All to show that even though they have all moved on with their lives, he is still representing them on the biggest stage. Also loved the reference to FNATIC's 3-11 scoreline comeback at 0:24. Just a simple nod to a great moment in valorant. Credit for Alderic for the Analyse.
Love this type of breakdown; trust me the Easter eggs with grow extensively as time goes on The list for worlds anthems is 50 lines deep per song at this point
Im so glad I wasnt the only one that noticed he learned everything from his friends and carries it with him to the big leagues not forgetting about them and got him where he is now
It's like you're climbing up all the time, and when u look back, there's your friends right there supporting you all the way. That's makes me so emotional. Hope every player will get their achievements this time!
Really liked this reaction because its really not a guy just sitting there and letting the video play but really giving comentary and thought on it, very well done. Are there plans for you to react to Die for you (VCT Champions 2021 Song) and/or Fire again (VCT Champions 2022 Song)?
4:46 I love your reaction when you figure out the story of the video. Also, this music video really showed the melancholy of a pro player pushing forward while your friends who are with you in the beginning move on in their lives, with you remaining to achieve that dream.
The one that ended pro also is the product of this friendship, he learns so much from his friends and this is what made him able to so far. He is the one that value their friendship the most, proof being the character he play 😄, the writing is exceptionnal.
i enjoy this song so much more than some of the past worlds song i wish they would give grabbitz a world song he has prove himself with his past vct champs songs. Also i like how valorant does vct skins league should do the same they feel special and worth getting unlike the world yearly skin
Yeah the VCT Champions skin bundle is night and day different than the champion skins that we get in LoL. The Worlds bundles are nice in game but I don't feel like we've truly had the chance to flex our customization on our fandom other than icons
@@DavidSzajnuk what do you think about chnaging the loading background of the champ skin change based on the team icon you got equiped like if i had the jdg icon the splash art of the skin changes to jdg theme idk if they could do it becauss of how bad the client is
Similar story, much better song (sorry to my die hard warriors fans, I've got the unpopular opinion that it's not a good song. It's just a good memory for OG league fans)
I Like how The key chain they were trying to grab from the arcade machine and failed but then they put another token and they cut the clip right after but later on u can see that they won it, and then he was playing basketball with his teammate and she did a move that made him fall to the ground and later in the video he remembered his friend move and used it to dodge in game, also he even stretch's his arms the same way one of his friends did. I mean wow the level of details in the story telling in the video is so damn brilliant and the music is so good it's perfect, this is probably one of the best video/music if not the best they ever did. WP Riot WP - and great video man keep going never give up
I think riot's music team could learn from your feedback and reaction, also I agree with your opinion on the league songs aiming for the direction that Ticking Away achieved but they didn't , and also how league players actually really want this feeling of 'triumph' or ''achieving' in what they thought might not have been possible, for the lack of better words. This song grew on me, as much as I love RISE and Legends never die, this has risen up there for me too. (i play both games)
If it's not for you, It's all good brother. That's why preference exist and i'm happy for you to enjoy different things about val rather than just the game. Kinda like like league for me with all of it's own media.
I’ve got emotional watching it. Please react to valorant’s ost like “die for you”, “only good things”, “fire again” etc.. also the cinematics are absolutely stunning so pls consider reacting to them too
Really enjoyed this reaction, and just wanted to give you a shoutout for the dedication to this channel - that is a lot of consistent videos without the views that effort deserves. I'd recommend you try more thumbnail optimization, and perhaps even consider starting a new channel that isn't weighed down in the algorithm by a long history of low engagement videos.
Won’t be starting a new channel, I can make this one grow as is evident by the last few months. It just takes time As for thumbnails, once I can monetize I’ll be getting help with thumbnails. I know that’s my biggest growth opportunity Takes time to break through but I’ve got the consistency and I’m working on improving every day
I literally cried with the animation, you easily get into it and its so emotional, I loved it
This video makes me emotional every time I see it. They did an amazing job with it.
Feels like we are finally going back to the roots of esports and this video highlights exactly that
It’s so refreshing
Same bro
+1

Bro u really do some rundown on the MV and it was cool bro 😂 im not even notice them all if u dont comment like this
Im so glad I wasnt the only one that noticed he learned everything from his friends and carries it with him to the big leagues not forgetting about them and got him where he is now

Riot never disappoints
Music department has been on their A game for years now
It’s absurd
True that but…the Kunai knife in champions is just 😬😬😬😬
But the kunai has no extra animation 😢
On music yes, on skins sometime yes
Never ? 🤣
Bro every time I watch or listen to this song I just get tears in my eyes
Really liked this reaction because its really not a guy just sitting there and letting the video play but really giving comentary and thought on it, very well done. Are there plans for you to react to Die for you (VCT Champions 2021 Song) and/or Fire again (VCT Champions 2022 Song)?
After LCS playoffs wrap up yes!
Saving that for when things slow down in September/October before worlds

@@nexon7966 THat would be incredible and I wish you could, but as you mentioned I doubt the game can handle it
You should check out the old champions songs, die for you and fire again are really good in their own right and their own ways
Planning on it post LCS finals!
Haven't seen many reactions on this where someone actually understood the story.
4:49 This reminds me of the video from warriors (imagin dragons), same situation
Similar story, much better song (sorry to my die hard warriors fans, I've got the unpopular opinion that it's not a good song. It's just a good memory for OG league fans)

Definitely will!
definitely the best champs song for valorant to date
Loved watching your reaction and listening to your input. Thanks for the content and good luck in the future!
First good reaction video I've seen on the music video, even though I never play league ill sub.
Thank you 😊
@@DavidSzajnuk just noticed I typed music video twice mb
The video is so emotional! Fuckin Gold!!!
No clue why but that last part hit out of no were
Did I forget to trim down the outro? Yes
Am I going to change it? Absolutely not lol
Freaking great react!

good content keep up the good work
Baby No Money (aka bbno$) KILLED YHE VOCALS
Haven’t seen a bad feature from him yet
Riot is a music company that make videogames
IM CRYING STOP 😭
I was initially disappointed by it when looking back at the league songs and Did for you. But it has grown into my favorite one.
Ikd why but your face in the thumbnail just goes "🗿🗿🗿" it's really cool for some reason

I hope you have listened to especially die for you and fire again, if not. Do it.
you should check out the other Valorant animations! love the reaction :)
I Am Ur 1000 Subscriber 👍
Love you for this, thank you so much!!
W dark star thresh, best champion and best thresh skin
you dont need to pause it cause its non-copyright
skins in this game is absurd for their price but we gotta appreciate that they let us listen to these for free. riot is insane at this
it's the best
I mean this as no insult but you look alot like Gabe Lewis from the office just blonde lol. great reaction 👍
I get that a lot lol
In reality, ur mates are not friendly xD

Wait until Saturday’s video and you’ll see (hint: the answer is yes and I’ve got a full rec League series coming)
