LEC, aka "Lifeless Entity Casters", is a European emo-rock band from the depths of solo queue. They're mostly known for being the perfect human embodiment of the pain you feel while grinding the EUW ladder.
I actually think they tried to include Treatz as well, but it doesn't sound exactly the same. They have been trying to mention each team in playoffs (For G2, it's only mentioned as "king" though.)
There's a japanese band OLDCODEX who at least on stage one of their members primary or only role is just to do spray painting, so maybe Ender is just taking inspiration!
Drakos' plan to create LEC just to have funding for his musical career continues to impress. Also, it's really good to see the boys dressed up as emos and using make up just like we did when MCR and stuff like that poped off
This is so fuckin' good. I really really love that the lyrics are not just like "Hello this is a song about a video game" but instead are cleverly and subtly mentioning LEC stuff. And don't get me started on the music itself. Well done, lads. Well done.
What is LEC production; To the blind it is light, to the deaf it is a symphony, to the poor it is salvation, to the thirsty it is wine and to the hungry it is a feast
Well, worlds is being hosted in China (yes, again) so unless the LEC casters can sing in Mandarin they won't be making any worlds song this year. But maybe one day when Worlds is hosted in Europe or North America
LEC: Produces multiple high quality music videos all consistently themed with a lot of meaning and emotion. LCS: Made a rewrite of a sea shanty. Once again EU wins the most important battles this year.
@@NotSpicyy NA fans had it coming for trying to compare themselves to EU for all these years when people still thought there was a gap between East and West. The gap was always there but between NA and everyone else.
@@Crabunderscore usually soviet monumental architecture is ignored by the succeeding government. there wasn't a violent war of succession so governments aren't usually interested in spending money to take these things down; and in germany there is still a minority who are sympathetic to the soviet days so it would be offensive to dismantle them.
When Worlds 2021 comes around I expect nothing less than a life performance of the LEC casters. How the LEC production team manages to do LEC and these kinds of projects all the time is beyond me but my expectations are endless by now and I am forever grateful that they are so frequently met.
He mentioned in a Behind the Scenes video that he did music all throughout high school, would not be surprised if he started learning piano at a younger age
Holy shit this is genuinely extremely good music, this could easily be played on the radio. Truly incredible, I'm hoping for an album at some point, I love it!
I NEVER write a comment to my hours and hours on youtube, i laugh at comedy with tears in my eyes, never having the urge to write "lol" in comments, I lissen to TED talks that changed my life, never having the need to say "thank you for saving me" but this... This is so amazing, so good, amazing lyrics and music,.... i cant belive one of my first comments after 15 years of youtube clips and hours on hours spent here would be to this amazing band! Thank you LEC for this. You are beyond good. you are gods!
The quality of the LEC songs is unbelievable. If I didn't know better I would think you're a professional band! You did a damn good job with this song and all the other songs.
The expectations I had for the first songs were that they have some funny bars and clever references in them. Now it's at the point were I expect them to be decent to good songs. I love it, all of you are so talented and I'm grateful that you go above and beyond to make amazing content for your fans.
It's actually fucking insane that they can prepare to cast every week and still manage to find time to make something of this production level. I really can't give them enough credit, the song is very good to the point where I actually replay it several times.
@@klauskeller6380 True, there prob is many people behind the scenes, even tho i still find all this "creativity" cringe so yeah, its just my opinion so :p
The amazing thing about this song is that it has good lyrics with LEC references, but I'm sure the text can be kind of universal and people who never heard of LEC would still enjoy this song. I can't wait to hear on the radio.
The thing I like the most about LEC is the fact, that they are using the "charm" of Berlin and east germany more and more for their music videos, it really fits so well
@@player_182 bad memories is part of what makes places' charm. It's the significance. A scar of the past. I don't know much about Eastern Germany, but here in France we've got trenches from WW1, and the charm is most certainly present, not despite the countless killing and the painful memory that scarred an entire generation, but very much because of it
Awesome fact, I did not know that. I saw the picture of the graffiti earlier on twitter and the comments were saying the graffiti missed like his spears so assumed that was the reference.
