“Varya” is a Russian derivative of the name “Barbara.” According to legend, Saint Barbara was a young woman killed by her father Dioscorus, who was then killed by a bolt of LIGHTNING. I thought this was a super cool way to choose a name!
Krul's ultimate From Hell's Heart is a direct reference to Moby Dick. "To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." This connects to the fact that Krul was once a sailor.
Gwen is a lot like Anna from A Million Ways to die in the West. She a blonde gunslinger.... from the west... and there's a part in the movie where Albert says to her "Is your name even Anna? Or is it something Horrible like Gwendolyn" and i'm pretty sure Gwen has a line where she says "Just Gwen. It’s not short for anything." I see your tricks SEMC
Also Krul backwards is Lurk which means to remain hidden / wait in ambush for someone or something. And thats how you would play as krul you lurk/stay in a bush to activate his perk and try to ambush someone :)
Wowza. Crazy that it's a founder's last name and lurk backwards which directly reflects krul as a hero. Wonder if having spelled his last name backwards into lurk inspired them to make krul how he is as a character.
Saw's "no time to bleed" is from the character Jesse Ventura plays in Predator. he states "I ain't got time to bleed" he also carries a massive gattling gun
"Oww... YOU HIT ME IN THE EAR!" - Tony -- Fight Club One of my all time favorites. Honorable mentions: "I like it, put a ring on it!" -Ozo "I'm felin' so crazy right now..." -Vox
I know I'm late for the party, but Reza has the «Great Balls of Fire!» line which is a reference to a rock and Roll song, there's also «It is possible to be a lover *AND* a fighter» which is a nod to the song «I'm a lover not a fighter»
Something you didn't mention is that when Lyra says "Speedy thing comes in, speedy thing comes out" is a reference to Portal, the video game, as GladOs, says it.
Phinn's name is a reference. The two characters Blackfeather and Phin parrallell the characters from Mark Twain's novels, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Hence the name Phinn, as in Huck Finn.
Also ringos twirling silver is a reference to when doc Holliday first confronted Johnny Ringo in the saloon mocking him by twirling his gun. search up tombstone, Holliday meets Ringo scene. Ironically ringo(vainglory) and doc Holliday share character traits. Ringo being alcoholic, gambler and a vicious gunslinger in which doc Holliday also known for. a line in the movie where Holliday tells Johnny ringo that they're alike and that he hates him pointing to how ringo(vainglory) is similar to holliday(tombstone)
i like how skye says im not happy unless im going mach 2, with my hair on fire and baron responds to it saying youre writing checks youre body cant cash Edit: oh yea Huginn and Muninn
Moofu go to the characters tab and then the skins tab. It shows Idris has an SE one coming out soon. Basically just a red palette swap of his default minus the glowing eyes and a kaffiyeh instead of/over his helmet. Although Cyderhelm says its supposedly "not a typical SE skin", so we'll just have to wait for more details to be revealed about it.
"Gentleman and a scholar" is actually much older than *The Office* as it was originally written in J.D. Salinger's *The Catcher in the Rye* "You're a real prince. You're a gentleman and a scholar, kid." (ca. 1945)
You forgot to mention that Idris is from the Shimmer which is a city made of glass, and that in the Mortal Instruments book series, there city of glass is named Idris.
There are two Lord of the Rings references. One is Phinn’s legendary skin resembling Sauron’s tower with the eye on top. The other is broken myth making reference to Isildur’s sword used to cut the ring out of Sauron’s hand.
I drove several of SEMC's employees in San Mateo as an uber/lyft driver. One time I dropped 2 of em a block away from Hotel Adagio in San Francisco... I wonder

Undefeated This is gotta be my favorite so far, did you discover this yourself?
I did but I'm quite sure others might have made the reference too...as it is quite obvious
Awesome!! Will be in the next episode. Can I get your IGN to provide credit?
Undefeated hey give ur IGN or i give mine
My IGN is TheArtOfDying

Actually, yes. She does say that line.
Grace : "I'm not saying you're wrong... but you're wrong."
refer to.... basicly every women
Cinematic ID 😂
LMAO
Ringo's name is a very direct and clear reference to Ringo Starr, who himself was quite an alcoholic.
Also Krul backwards is Lurk which means to remain hidden / wait in ambush for someone or something. And thats how you would play as krul you lurk/stay in a bush to activate his perk and try to ambush someone :)
Robert Vince dude wtf? I never noticed it. Great work
Robert Vince nice catch
Wowza. Crazy that it's a founder's last name and lurk backwards which directly reflects krul as a hero. Wonder if having spelled his last name backwards into lurk inspired them to make krul how he is as a character.
Robert Vince Correct spot!
Great observation but it might not've been intentional at all
Vox means "voice" in Greek
Ibra Gaming it means sound in latin
it does match his ability
Vox is also a brand of amplifiers
Christian Kurniawan his abilities have to deal with sound and the his perk is called julia's song i think
Gleeny julia is his mom brow
Saw's "no time to bleed" is from the character Jesse Ventura plays in Predator. he states "I ain't got time to bleed" he also carries a massive gattling gun
"Oww... YOU HIT ME IN THE EAR!"
- Tony
-- Fight Club
One of my all time favorites.
Honorable mentions:
"I like it, put a ring on it!" -Ozo
"I'm felin' so crazy right now..." -Vox
Thank you! Now that you mentioned fight club I can remember the scene clear as day
and... Reza (رضا in arabic (CMIIW)) means Satisfaction
Grace: Yes i know i am amazing, they made a song about it.
Me: ha i get.
I know I'm late for the party, but Reza has the «Great Balls of Fire!» line which is a reference to a rock and Roll song, there's also «It is possible to be a lover *AND* a fighter» which is a nod to the song «I'm a lover not a fighter»
Sometime Lorelai will say "you're my waterwall"
I think this is refrence to lyric in oasis's song wonderwall "you're my wonderwall"
Ardan : "Get off my lawn!!!"
from movie : Gran Torino by Clint Eastwood
Something you didn't mention is that when Lyra says "Speedy thing comes in, speedy thing comes out" is a reference to Portal, the video game, as GladOs, says it.
John Smith first time I heard this line, it filled my nerd heart with glee!
“Have fun storming the castle!”
Koshka is Russian for cat
Glaive stands for sword in french😮😮
She also has a Russian accent.
isnt Idris's quote: "Water in every direction is a terrifying luxury" either for Mad Max or Waterworld or is it just me
I think it is.
Maybe he hates lorelai xD
She would cut his crazy mobility down with her splashdowns XD makes sense.
Phinn's name is a reference. The two characters Blackfeather and Phin parrallell the characters from Mark Twain's novels, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Hence the name Phinn, as in Huck Finn.

Samuel King of The Edge
Im sick of being treated like shit End my suffering you forget churnwalker
i like how skye says im not happy unless im going mach 2, with my hair on fire and baron responds to it saying youre writing checks youre body cant cash
Edit: oh yea Huginn and Muninn
can't
"Puts a lot of effort into their names" one word. Tony
Max Castillon hes a go with the flow dwarf that goes headlong into things without much thought. Maybe they purposely gave him a simple name
A simple character needs a simple name. Let’s not be naming him something like Alcatraz the White Dongle of the East.
he has same haircut and face as Tony mafia guy from simpsons
Tony is litteraly a "Tony"
Fun Fact: Origins Idris SE skin refers to the time he wasn’t consumed by the churn
Brandt Miller Yeah, realized this because I've read the lore before. 😊
you can see by his eyes which tells you without looking at his lore
RiGiDx SPiRiT and he has no helmet
Moofu go to the characters tab and then the skins tab. It shows Idris has an SE one coming out soon. Basically just a red palette swap of his default minus the glowing eyes and a kaffiyeh instead of/over his helmet. Although Cyderhelm says its supposedly "not a typical SE skin", so we'll just have to wait for more details to be revealed about it.
yea idris gets a se skin
Vox's ult "Wait for it...".
Blackfeather having a voice line "Haaaave you met Phinn?".
Must be "How I Met Your Mother" references, I believe.
Haha great show!
Alpha: "I can feel it. I'm afraid".
Check out HAL's quotes from 2001: A Space Odyssey 😉
"Gentleman and a scholar" is actually much older than *The Office* as it was originally written in J.D. Salinger's *The Catcher in the Rye* "You're a real prince. You're a gentleman and a scholar, kid." (ca. 1945)
That's why this game is awesome
One of Krul's voice lines is along the lines of "tis but a flesh wound". Another Monty Python reference?
Mythron - You know i always thought his line was "Ooh! It is a butterflesh wound! "
haha
My favorite reference is scaarf. I love my little baby dragon.
The voice from Samuel "I like my coffee black, like my soul" reminds me of the meme/vine thing "I like my coffee black, like my man"
Taka = fox
Name = falcon
Falcon ≠ fox
*_What kind of logic is this_*
Falcon foxxx!!
he is fox , but he is fast like a falcon
Fancy Egg well if you want his name to be fox then they’ll have to change it into kitsune (girls name) sooo gender bent taka I guess
Taka is a singer
2 characters from the star fox games.
Wow I like the Odin reference
You should check out this book if you like Mythology. It has all the Norse stories: amzn.to/2sirHcs
Will do
That Storm Queen one is mind blowing
So, Baron and Skyes Fly or die, and ride or die skins, are references to the transformers characters Springer, and Arcee, respectively.
this is so mindblowing
Could you do a video series of lore references of each hero?
I'd love to bring that to the channel but not sure if I can pull it off on a one by one basis. I'll be sure to add structure on the egg hunt
You forgot to mention that Idris is from the Shimmer which is a city made of glass, and that in the Mortal Instruments book series, there city of glass is named Idris.
The taunts at vg also come from some shows to
Please Do a Part 2 on this....
Hi pal!!!! Lets make vainglory great again!!!
this is totally irrelevant but my favorite voice line is
"I go through so much conditioner!" - Celeste
This was amazing, I’d love to watch more vids like this
Ardan's "get off my lawn" is a reference to gran torino
i always live for the intro
Vox, Celeste, and Ardan taunts? Arrested development?
Love this more!! Ardan next please 😊
I like this, ill waiting for the part 2 😅
Hold up. U cant just say Taka means falcon and move on like that... 🤯
Blew my mind as well!
Wow Garen1 and Halcyon master speak with each order
Taka means Trash
Garen1
I already knew what Taka meant because anime (Naruto Shippuden)
But does Taka like Takis? 🔥🔥😫😭😭🤤
“You’re a scholar and a gentleman” originates from JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, bro.
Skye’s and baron’s references is my favvv
Man I keep learning you new words everyday xD
HAHAHA the edit of the office after Samuel said he's a scholar 😂😂
I'm pretty sure Kestrel's bow is named Sparrow
Vox also means sound
There are two Lord of the Rings references. One is Phinn’s legendary skin resembling Sauron’s tower with the eye on top. The other is broken myth making reference to Isildur’s sword used to cut the ring out of Sauron’s hand.
Holy hell
in one of blackfeather line you will hear him saying IraqiZorro as the best laner.
Keep em comin!
The Dance is awesome
You're awesome!
I'm enjoying the titorial of vainglory..
AWESOME!
Tony's dogtag has russian writings says, anton. Is that supposed to mean something?
haruna mahdi welll....maybe tony is short for anthony? i have a friend named anthony who we call anton or tony
Samuel - has the best lines
Nice video do like a part 2 & part 3 maybe?
That is the plan
Halcyon Masters very nice
Yes please
Take notes Hi-Rez. This is how you make proper references.
Loved the video
Thank you!
Alphas ult damage number is 1337 which if you turn it around stands for "Leet" and translates to "elite" as in superior.
Matti Mu you are not l33t n00b :/
Superior = Alpha... alphas are superior nice
I KNEW THAT tony was a jersey shore type guy cause of that accent and his skin
I drove several of SEMC's employees in San Mateo as an uber/lyft driver. One time I dropped 2 of em a block away from Hotel Adagio in San Francisco... I wonder
No one's going to talk about Taka and Gwen's mom references?
OK
Maybe it's not related to anything lorewise?
Also Idris being able to dodge his chakrams to keep them in the air longer is a reference to Ninja Gaiden
That's some nice eggs. I thought the Skaarf part was obvious but I didn't know it's history.
Nice
Taka in Japanese is Hawk
I thought Krul was a reference of Lurk :P
Why not both? ;)
MORE...!!!
Hi jeff, could you make a video on the road to rebellion lore and kensei because im not really getting it.
Very cool
Honestly, malene references Cinderella multiple times... I luv it
Where's my fairy God mother when you need one
I turned my carriage into a pumpkin
What about voxes “turn it up to eleven”
Idk if its related but lance is inspire from "Lancelot"??? One of the 12 knights at the round table?
The new hero caine has a voice easter egg about the meme hes saying THATS HOW MAFIA WORKS
Lol I wasn’t surprised by both taka and ringo names , cuz I know japanese lol
For me, the best reference is the Storm Queen's.
Anyways, when will be the time that we can play as the Storm Queen in Vainglory?
It's kinda exciting.
Hopefully never,if she just ends up gettng build by some assassin ingame then it destroys the whole ‘big bad’ thing going on
Kassidy Pope or,maybe in the future,once she gets defeated and stuff
You got a point.
i heard 15 years from now
she will be released for ICE only
Saw: “your in the danger zone”
Wow this is great
My favorite lines:
-"Meow"
-"Skrrrrrr"
Im just wondering that Fortess can talk while Skaarf can't, they're both animals LOL
Krul: tis but a flesh wound.
Monty Python's holy grail
Can u do vainglory memes/movie reference
U know they had a lot like
Lorelai taunt is salt bae and many more. I only can find maybe like 3 or 5
Great vid 😃
Red Rona is a reference to the movie Red Sonja
Hey cmon man, couldn’t you see the dungeons and dragons reference in graces line “Lawful good does not always mean lawful nice”
Reza:GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!!!!
fascinating 👌
Wow just wow Taka is a freaking fox but he's name translates to a freaking FALCON
Plzz tell me the name of ur intro template.
Krul is fucking immortal
Oh like tony
Smurfs are sneaky
