🧁< Have a cupcake to match the sweetness of this comment. Thank you! I'm sure we won't be able to cover everything, but I'm aiming to give them a streamlined experience and what might make sense to someone coming to everything LoL fresh, only having watched Arcane.
Part of the Live Action sequence was something you could actually go to when Arcane first came out. It was a traveling interactive experience for the launch of the show. It was called Undercity Nights. Think, to some degree, "Renaissance Fair meets Arcane" where you literally walk through the bridge sequence in EP1 and then you enter Zaun. With dozens of actors, themed or replica spaces from the show, timed events, etc. They had Silco, Vi, Jinx, etc. as actual people you could go meet and, in some cases, you had to actually negotiate with because you had to actually join one of the Chem Baron factions and gather vials of shimmer.
So World's is League of Legends major international tournament and the 2 final teams that year were from Korea and China (pretty much every year is Korea vs China) which is why theyre all asian LOL, but the event is HUGE like I think over 20 million people watch worlds at some point during the tournament, and idk if that even includes China since they use different streaming platforms over there. Every year, Riot Games makes a World's anthem, and it's performed live usually, this is the only year it was pre-recorded. If you want to see some other insane opening ceremonies, 2017 was kinda insane, and so was 2018 for that matter, but really just reacting to the worlds anthems music videos could be fun! There's always some hidden stories in the videos that could be fun to learn about and the music itself is obviously always good!!
According to last years stats 6.4m concurent viewers from outside of china (2m from korea). In semifinals where chinese team played there was almost 30m chinese watching, no chinese stats for finals.
Worlds it's the biggest tournament esports event on the world. There are several regions like LLA (latin americ) LCK (Korea) LPL (China) Etc... In this regions are several teams, one or two of each region classify to worlds. And yes LPL and LCK (china and korea ) are rhe best regions hehehe
LPL (China) and LCK (Korea) are so successful because of the E-Sports infrastructure and e-sport "athlete" being a legitimate career in Korea and China. It's even government supported. Unfortunately, North America and Europe aren't to that standard yet, so players can't keep up. But the industry is getting bigger and even schools in NA have E-sport clubs nowadays.
@@khazmsbro NA just sucks. You can't say that they have no support because they actually qualify for finals multiple times and yet they can't even touch the trophy. Not to mention even in other games they suck.
@@Vizible21 That's just not the case. There's many prime examples of NA winning against Asia teams. Valorant for example is won by NA teams. Look at Call of Duty or.. Fortnite. CSGO, even fighting games like Smash, Tekken, Street Fighter. There's no "inherent" reasons "Asians" are the top performers. There's no genetic difference or intellectual one. It's an infrastructure reason at its core. LPL and LCK "players" dedicate their time and lives to the "e-sport" of their choice. It's well known they cannot even have time for relationships. Meanwhile, NA and EU players do party, have relationships, etc. Because of this kind of environment, lifestyle and infrastructure, Asia teams are competitively playing against each other regularly unofficially and improve (Also known as scrims/scrimmages). In contrast, NA and EU are not scrimming against players of equal skill or higher, therefore do not improve as fast as Asia. This is also a timezone and ping matter. LPL and LCK teams regularly scrim against each other due the regions being close as well while EU and NA cannot due to timezone and ping difference.
@@MeeshDeeReacts Burn it all down by PVRIS was the World's Anthem for that year. It's not part of the Arcane soundtrack and has it's own video, which is pretty cool if you wanted to react to it. It has 62M views, but some of the more popular world's anthems have over 100M views.
Here's some notes to help clear things up "Worlds" is the name for the League of Legends Worlds Championship. It's one of the biggest esports events in the world and , like you said, it's a huge gaming tournament. The Opening Ceremonies are the openers to Worlds and is a big spectacle that us League and esports fans look forward to every year. Like you said, the best teams in the world play in their regional leagues to qualify for the tournament and progresses through a typical tournament bracket going from play-ins to groups/swiss stage to the typical quarters/semis/finals. The two teams in the finals this year were from the LCK - Korea's Regional League. Korea has historically been the best at the game followed by China. In general, like you said, Asians tend to be the best at League. In terms of the Western world, their highest placement would be 2nd in Worlds done by an EU team. North America is..... bad to put it lightly and the smaller regional leagues like in South America usually don't get past play-ins. Simply put, it's Asia dominated. Worlds 2023, the most recent one, peaked at 6.4 million viewers and had over 146 million hours watched (not including Chinese viewership numbers). The Opening Ceremony is usually live, but because of COVID they opted for a pre-recording. They also matched it to the Arcane theme since the show would release shortly after iirc. The Opening Ceremonies are a big display of tech and overall esports hype. They perform a bunch of songs that are made for League of Legends cinematics (usually promoting the game, skins, etc.). They also perform a "Worlds Anthem" - a big song made specifically for the World Championship and is always the culminating song. For 2021, it was "Burn it All Down" by PVRIS. She appears in Arcane too singing "Snakes" during Episode 8 where Vi and Jayce fight against the Chemtanks. Other than the Worlds Anthem, all the songs here are from Arcane. I suggest you take a look at all the previous worlds performances - notably Worlds 2017 to 2019, Worlds 2022, and Worlds 2023. Worlds 2020 does exist but the production is nowhere near the same level as the others due to COVID messing things up. It is live, though. Most people consider 2019 to be the best opening ceremony going off songs and the technical display. They've also featured lots of popular artists like Lil Nas X, New Jeans, Jackson Wang, Against the Current, and in-house k-pop groups created by Riot featuring members from groups like G.Idle and EXO. They won't be Arcane themed, but they're still lots of fun. You can also branch out and check out the cinematics too if you want. Riot's considered one of the best animators in the video game space with their realism and overall crisp animation.
I suggest you try switching to another part of the Runeterra story universe, by watching videos with completely different colors: - The Curse of the sad mummy - Annie: Origin They will bring you completely new content instead of just focusing on Arcane. And you may be more interested in League Universe.
@@MeeshDeeReactssomething to add here: The singer in The Curse of the Sad Mummy is Christian Linke. Yeah, him! You would understand when you hear the song but our man is truly a legend! Not only because thanks to him we have Arcane, but this song in particular is very, VERY touching, one of the best songs of League in my personal opinion. Just have a box of Kleenex next to you while watching it.
@@MeeshDeeReacts Also Riot has big documentary about creating "Curse of the Sad Mummy" and music department at all. Highly recommended to watch this based on your reaction to musical 4th episode of Bridging the Rift documentary (its named "Frequencies - The Music of League of Legends")
If or when you watch Worlds 2019 opening ceremony, since you liked bridging the rift, you should watch the behind the scenes for that as well called "10 Months, 10 Minutes".
1. Burn it all down, the last song, was the official worlds anthem for that year. They always release a worlds song before that tournament, it has nothing to do with Arcane. 2. The two teams in the finale, DWG and EDG were korean and chinese. So the players were all korean and chinese. Western regions lack behind a bit, but every once in a while an european team managed to make it to the finals.
There is quite literally about a couple hundred League of Legends videos. Lots of cinematics and music videos that show more and more of the universe of League of Legends (Arcane). It'll be fun to see what your editor throws your way. Reacting to the different genres of music that Riot has put out would be awesome also. Plus you'll get to see more of the universe that all the characters live in. There's so many more locations than just Piltover and Zaun. Was fun to see you get some extra content of Arcane related things in this video.
This opening ceremony was simply amazing, imagine that you are watching all this live, and immediately after that the first arcane series begins. I was absolutely delighted
Right when you asked, "Is that PvRIS?", a certain dancer was showing on screen, and I almost thought you were asking about her. It probably didn't stand out for you, but one of the dancers was wearing a "bucket hat". I'm fairly certain that that's Bailey Sok, a Korean dance prodigy, who performed in one of K/DA's single songs, "Drum Go Dum" (intended to be Kai'sa's song, where each of the band members of K/DA had one song specific to them). Once you get around to watching K/DA's stuff, this'll be a little callback to that.
At 12:00 thats PVRIS who also did the song in episode 8 when Jayce and Vi storm the shimmer facility. "Burn it all down" was the 2021 championship anthem. Had nothing to do with Arcane :) Each year Riot creates at least two songs. One at the beginning of the year for the start of the games new season and one song in October for the championship. They may also release songs for new Champions, a new skin line (cometics for the champions) etc. There is a reason Riot were for many years called a music company that happens to make a popular game.
Normally these openings are live and they integrate a lot of overlay CGI and use light projections to join the live performance and in game characters. Some shows were better than others but all of them were made with a lot of love and care (and money). The live audience does make a difference though. Seeing so many people cheer hypes up the matches! This one was during Covid, so no live performances or audience, but they made it special anyway
I started thinking about Jinx in the game and her lore and discovered it actually fits perfectly , when I play Jinx in the game and get 1 kill, get her passive going then something happens and I become like entirely different person , greedy for more kills ,start running around recklessly and shooting everybody until someone eventually takes me down :D I also love that hwne Jinx recklessly just shoots everything then they show that in her mind she shoots her demons also its ironic that the last artist Pvris is singing "burn it all down" in the piltover council buiding :D
Just to add some context Titas, Every year, Riot hosts the world tournament where the top 3 teams from each region (North America, South America Europe, China, Korea, Viet Nam) play against each other. The two teams you saw at the end where the final two teams to play that year for the world title.Ever since 2013, Riot goes crazy with their opening ceremonies. My personal favourite is 2019! Riot collabs with artist and often create virtual pop bands from their roster of champions. The last performer was Pvris. Fun fact, she is also the singer of the song during Vi and Jayce's fight scene in ep 8 of Arcane. Also, other ceremonies is a live performance, jsut this year it was pre recorded because of covid lockdowns
There is this guy called Necrit on youtube who makes lore videos about League of Legends and ofc that includes Arcane, he has made a few videos about it, so might be fun to watch them if you are interested in that. It might also be interesting to learn about the lore in general, even if you aren't interested in playing the games cause it's actually really interesting lore. And since Arcane is technically part of League of Legends lore now, it might be interesting to learn about the world in which it is from.
First, love the new Mac Background. The video started & instantly I noticed it (the red is very striking in the cooler colors you tow are wearing & the general atmosphere of the living room(?). Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the blue of the missal and the blue of your partly cloudy moon (does that have a story behind it?) light matches really good. Maybe sacrilege, but I wonder how the red would look if it was matching the pinker hue of the moon. There were three different things that struck me in this video: the transition between animation (2 & 3D), CGI, & life action, the musical performances (how hard they went for it), & the story we got between Jinx & Vi (especially since there's no talking. All their emotions were through their body language). Am I the only one who wants Vi to just hug Jinx. Not a normal hug, no, one of those hugs that you get when you don't want to let someone go ever again, one of those minute long hugs that only end because the threat has passed. Hope you don't mind, I might Photoshop that later. =^._.^=
Yall should watch the Worlds Songs before watching the Opening. I highly suggest checking out all of them plus the cinematics then coming back to watch the live Opening Ceremonies!
Even though it’s called opening ceremony, all opening ceremonies are performed before the finals, not at the first day of Worlds. So the players you saw were playing for the championship title
For context on the size of Worlds. It is an Esports event that gets more total viewers globally than the NFL superbowl does. The number of people that tune in to watch the Superbowl is less than than Riot's video game championship.
2019 is by far the coolest opening ceremony and i'd highly recommend watching it. obviously it has nothing to do with arcane, but it's worth watching just to see how epic it is.
Definitely check out the League shorts of all the different factions of Runeterra. I think the videos are called Tales of Runeterra. Would be a pretty good introduction.
the last performance was done by pvris - burn it all down . This was the official worlds 2021 song. There is also an animated music video for this - although this is not arcane themed animated. The worlds songs usually contain animations about the players(from the final match of the previous year) and their signature champions to honor them. I think your editor probably didn't recommend watching it because it was not arcane themed - but I still recommend checking it out. Pvris also did the song in ep8 when Jayce and Vi fought in the shimmer production site. I am a bit sad that your editor didn't recommend the making of worlds 2021 because what they explain there makes the show open even more amazing considering the circumstances they were in... In general, I highly recommend reacting to worlds ceremonies from 2017 on - please make sure to watch the music videos for the relevant songs before you dive into the opening ceremonies. A short explanation about worlds: The game is a 5vs5 game so you saw 2 teams (5 players each) at the end of the show open. The opening ceremony is held before the final match begins to honor the 2 best teams and hype up the last match (they have to win 3 out of up to 5 games). Arcane was premiered later the same night so this was a very bis day for League fans and Riot. Worlds is usually dominated by asian teams ^^ - but 2019 was different and held in Paris ;)
There's more to come, so stay tuned! :D The playlists they're following for their reactions have alot more, if not, all League related media that has come out in the last 15 years, but thank you for sharing what you'd be interested in seeing them react to! There might be some things we skip over since there is alot of League content to dive into and little time for them to react and film, but it's still good to have folks on the lookout! Appreciate ya
Worlds this year is going to end in November. And the final location is in the french stadium that you saw in Bridging the Rift. Which is only a couple of blocks away from Fortiche. So everyone is betting Arcane going to get featured at worlds this year too.
The final will be in London at the O2 Arena (or whatever it's called) but in any case, there's a high probability that this year there will be an arcane-themed show
If you're looking for some cinematics to watch by league of legends, I recommend the series "Tales of Runeterra" basically each region of runterra have their short video. It might hive an insight on what the different regions are, and they don't rely much on context
i would love to watch you react to the 2019 worlds opening ceremony, is in person in a stadum cus befor covid and the preformers are ameizing is Aweiking in live and Gigants that you girls have already react, you are gona be speachless with a normal ceremony (honetsly thank god the covid year at least we got this arcane thing cus the events where a little sad with no people and social distancing)
LoL worlds is the biggest esport tournament in the world every year they hold a world championship and have a ceremony this was the 2021 ceremony. Yeah most of the times it's Korean teams that win the world championship with some Chinese teams taking it here and there too. It's a huge event and even though I don't play the game much anymore I still tune in to see what they do during the ceremony because the production is always cool most of the times it's really good. Years ago Riot did literal music concerts with their music but they don't do those anymore at least I haven't heard of any sort of events recently. Which is a shame because throughout the years Riot has produced a ton of good music.
please watch the opening ceremony of 2019 there you can see the true talent that is working in riot games. you can see the characters come to life on stage :)
So every year Riot produces a theme hype song for that years World's competition. The song you don't recognize is that years anthem. The Imagine Dragons song Warriors was the theme song for one of the World Championships.
15:00 it's usually Korea and China fighting each other at the end so yea they're usually all asian 😆. EU has won a couple of times and NA the closest we've ever came to winning was C9 in 2018 we came in 3rd 😭😭
Korea has been the dominant region in league now for over 10 years now. Though it’s an American based company Koreans just have better organization, sponsorship, discipline, they are truly CRACKED. There are multiple regions but majority of Korean teams qualify for worlds. But yeah worlds is the biggest E-sports tournament in the world , with biggest cash prize in esports. 2-5million dollar cash prize
The reason it's all Asians is because the E-sports industry and infrastructure is SO big in China and Korea. E-Sports are literally funded by their governments and players get so much support from both their governments and family. It's a stark contrast to Americas and Europe because people still think "Pro gaming/E-Sports" is not legitimately a career and the governments don't care too much. Although, these days, immigration/visa wise, they're starting to recognize E-Sports, but there's still many issues and there's a long way to go. That said.. they're not just a bunch of nerdy Asians. Every "Worlds" there's a storyline with each team and individual player and it's still exciting to see who our favorite will win. Despite it usually being Korea vs China (for the past few years), each player is unique and some are particularly famous and well known and can be why we support a particular team/region. Also, to clarify.. for "Worlds" a team of 5 players from each region participate locally in their own regions and the winners go onto "Worlds" where they participate against every other region.
If you want to really be impressed by an Openning during world championship you should try 2019 (I dont say this cause im french (yes a little) But they are awesome ! Great to see you react to LOL !
I would think, since they claim to be such musicphiles, that they would be into listening to all the champion themes... and maybe even looking at the Riot bands like KD/A, Pentakill, True Damage, and Heartsteel
yeah. all the players are asian (specifically Korean) because they are the best in the world. Other countries get pretty close or at least make it to Worlds, but it's generally Korean's that win the Championship because Korea is just on another level when it comes to training for esports.
People of all races compete in worlds--Korea, China, Europe, North America, Pacific Asia, Vietnam, Japan, Brazil, and Latin America each have their own teams... but yeah, Korea and China are the only regions that really win, so if you ever see two teams squaring off with a bunch of fanfare, the teams are probably from one of those 2 regions. (Europe and North America are usually considered second-tier, with the other regions kind of clustered below them in the standings).
I don't know if you guys are still checking the comments to this video, BUT... can I request you guys watch LoL Odyssey? It's not in the main LoL universe, but it does have Jinx in it and I think it's kinda cool and really fun. So.. what do you guys think?
@MeeshDeeReacts Of course! I found you both only recently when I saw you reacted to the Bridging the Rift docuseries. And after watching that and some of your other videos, you both quickly became my favorite reaction channel. Keep up the great work!
You guys should really watch the other opening world ceremonies. Theyre all really good (minus the year where covid effected production). The community as a whole generally "best" worlds is 2019. Lots of holograms
Those were the top 2 teams after a playoff bracket stage. I believe Worlds has 8 teams make it to playoffs and 16 overall teams. They play in a group stage with 4 teams, one from each major region, per group with 4 groups.
As others saids this performance hapepened on covid time, also its awesome but maybe you can reaciton to others openings ceremonies, i'ts a very produced shows :3
Since youre deep into the League world, you might as well check out KDA. Theyre Riot's Kpop/Pop group. Their Songs Pop Star and More have like half a billion views.
Hiiii ill be amazing if u guys watch the other music videos from the game, also there’s mini story’s like the star guardian one that’s animations from some other characters on the game ✨✨
as much as i like jaeh LOVE this, it still isnt as great as the live performances are on stage. for this 2019 World Championship Finals is still my favorite xD
These normally are on stage performances, but this one in specific happened during covid so riot decided make this instead
Thats why they should see the live shows for sure
Ur editor is such a legend for giving u the whole Arcane/lol fandom experience in order n everything

Best worlds opening to me is 2019, the tech and music that they used were very good
totally agree! that would be a cool reaction as well!
Yeah I agree, by far the best imo
2019 is my favorite. 2021 was good and has its place on my heart just because of Arcane. But 2019, man! That was bonkers!
I mean it's 10x better than any others
So World's is League of Legends major international tournament and the 2 final teams that year were from Korea and China (pretty much every year is Korea vs China) which is why theyre all asian LOL, but the event is HUGE like I think over 20 million people watch worlds at some point during the tournament, and idk if that even includes China since they use different streaming platforms over there.

I'm fairly certain that that's Bailey Sok, a Korean dance prodigy, who performed in one of K/DA's single songs, "Drum Go Dum" (intended to be Kai'sa's song, where each of the band members of K/DA had one song specific to them).
Once you get around to watching K/DA's stuff, this'll be a little callback to that.
Next one would probably be the Giants music video followed by the Giants Opening ceremony (i think it was 2019)
Love it! The video and your reaction! ❤ you know your stuff and that makes it so much better! Keep it up you two! Love ta! ❤
At 12:00 thats PVRIS who also did the song in episode 8 when Jayce and Vi storm the shimmer facility. "Burn it all down" was the 2021 championship anthem. Had nothing to do with Arcane :)
Each year Riot creates at least two songs. One at the beginning of the year for the start of the games new season and one song in October for the championship.
They may also release songs for new Champions, a new skin line (cometics for the champions) etc.
There is a reason Riot were for many years called a music company that happens to make a popular game.
Normally these openings are live and they integrate a lot of overlay CGI and use light projections to join the live performance and in game characters. Some shows were better than others but all of them were made with a lot of love and care (and money). The live audience does make a difference though. Seeing so many people cheer hypes up the matches! This one was during Covid, so no live performances or audience, but they made it special anyway
All the worlds opens go so hard, i love watching them
You gotta do 2023, or all of them, they all so good 😭
I started thinking about Jinx in the game and her lore and discovered it actually fits perfectly , when I play Jinx in the game and get 1 kill, get her passive going then something happens and I become like entirely different person , greedy for more kills ,start running around recklessly and shooting everybody until someone eventually takes me down :D I also love that hwne Jinx recklessly just shoots everything then they show that in her mind she shoots her demons also its ironic that the last artist Pvris is singing "burn it all down" in the piltover council buiding :D
It’s gonna be funny to watch your subscriber numbers the more league stuff you post 😂. Keep the energy and the community rewards you.
Thank you so much!! 🫶🏼🙏🏼
World's Finals in November 2024 in the O2 Arena in London. The Opening Ceremony will definitely be about Arcane season two 🎉
Don't know much about the World's but this opening is epic! Love that it was your first reaction to it
Just to add some context Titas, Every year, Riot hosts the world tournament where the top 3 teams from each region (North America, South America Europe, China, Korea, Viet Nam) play against each other. The two teams you saw at the end where the final two teams to play that year for the world title.Ever since 2013, Riot goes crazy with their opening ceremonies. My personal favourite is 2019! Riot collabs with artist and often create virtual pop bands from their roster of champions. The last performer was Pvris. Fun fact, she is also the singer of the song during Vi and Jayce's fight scene in ep 8 of Arcane. Also, other ceremonies is a live performance, jsut this year it was pre recorded because of covid lockdowns
every worlds tournament which they do every year, it has a song, and this last one is the song from that year
There is this guy called Necrit on youtube who makes lore videos about League of Legends and ofc that includes Arcane, he has made a few videos about it, so might be fun to watch them if you are interested in that. It might also be interesting to learn about the lore in general, even if you aren't interested in playing the games cause it's actually really interesting lore. And since Arcane is technically part of League of Legends lore now, it might be interesting to learn about the world in which it is from.
First, love the new Mac Background. The video started & instantly I noticed it (the red is very striking in the cooler colors you tow are wearing & the general atmosphere of the living room(?). Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the blue of the missal and the blue of your partly cloudy moon (does that have a story behind it?) light matches really good. Maybe sacrilege, but I wonder how the red would look if it was matching the pinker hue of the moon.
There were three different things that struck me in this video: the transition between animation (2 & 3D), CGI, & life action, the musical performances (how hard they went for it), & the story we got between Jinx & Vi (especially since there's no talking. All their emotions were through their body language). Am I the only one who wants Vi to just hug Jinx. Not a normal hug, no, one of those hugs that you get when you don't want to let someone go ever again, one of those minute long hugs that only end because the threat has passed.
Hope you don't mind, I might Photoshop that later. =^._.^=
Early year worlds they have a full stadium. Hopefully you guys react to the early ones
This World's Opening Ceremony was prerecorded because of Covid, most of the other ceremonies are performed live in front of an audience.
Yall should watch the Worlds Songs before watching the Opening. I highly suggest checking out all of them plus the cinematics then coming back to watch the live Opening Ceremonies!
You guys probably know it by now but riot doesn't claim copy right music in reaction video.
Even though it’s called opening ceremony, all opening ceremonies are performed before the finals, not at the first day of Worlds. So the players you saw were playing for the championship title
Happy Thursday Dee and Meesh! I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
leagues of legends music does not copyright strikes channels. If in the 1% chance this happens you can just email them and they'll remove it.
You should watch opening ceremony 2019. THE BEST
For context on the size of Worlds. It is an Esports event that gets more total viewers globally than the NFL superbowl does. The number of people that tune in to watch the Superbowl is less than than Riot's video game championship.
That’s crazy!!! 🔥🔥
I've never been to Worlds but I did go to the NA finals like 2 years ago. It's on par with major sporting events.
The viewership for Worlds rivals, and some years even surpasses, the Superbowl.
need to watch the 2019 worlds opening probably my favourite one
Soon!! 😁✨
the animation Warrior by League of Legend we can see Vi and Cait fighting
2019 is by far the coolest opening ceremony and i'd highly recommend watching it. obviously it has nothing to do with arcane, but it's worth watching just to see how epic it is.
Definitely check out the League shorts of all the different factions of Runeterra. I think the videos are called Tales of Runeterra. Would be a pretty good introduction.
the last performance was done by pvris - burn it all down . This was the official worlds 2021 song. There is also an animated music video for this - although this is not arcane themed animated. The worlds songs usually contain animations about the players(from the final match of the previous year) and their signature champions to honor them. I think your editor probably didn't recommend watching it because it was not arcane themed - but I still recommend checking it out. Pvris also did the song in ep8 when Jayce and Vi fought in the shimmer production site.
I am a bit sad that your editor didn't recommend the making of worlds 2021 because what they explain there makes the show open even more amazing considering the circumstances they were in...
In general, I highly recommend reacting to worlds ceremonies from 2017 on - please make sure to watch the music videos for the relevant songs before you dive into the opening ceremonies.
A short explanation about worlds: The game is a 5vs5 game so you saw 2 teams (5 players each) at the end of the show open. The opening ceremony is held before the final match begins to honor the 2 best teams and hype up the last match (they have to win 3 out of up to 5 games). Arcane was premiered later the same night so this was a very bis day for League fans and Riot.
Worlds is usually dominated by asian teams ^^ - but 2019 was different and held in Paris ;)
There's more to come, so stay tuned! :D
The playlists they're following for their reactions have alot more, if not, all League related media that has come out in the last 15 years, but thank you for sharing what you'd be interested in seeing them react to! There might be some things we skip over since there is alot of League content to dive into and little time for them to react and film, but it's still good to have folks on the lookout! Appreciate ya
Opening Ceremony Presented by Mastercard | 2019 World Championship Finals was the best
League is a 5v5 game. The 10 people you saw were the two teams who had won previously. There were dozens of other people from all over the world.
the opening in 2019 was my favorite by far, and not only cause it was in france xD
I would also recommend you check out all the Worlds songs, they are bangers :D
Worlds this year is going to end in November. And the final location is in the french stadium that you saw in Bridging the Rift. Which is only a couple of blocks away from Fortiche. So everyone is betting Arcane going to get featured at worlds this year too.
The final will be in London at the O2 Arena (or whatever it's called) but in any case, there's a high probability that this year there will be an arcane-themed show
If you're looking for some cinematics to watch by league of legends,
I recommend the series "Tales of Runeterra" basically each region of runterra have their short video. It might hive an insight on what the different regions are, and they don't rely much on context
Coming up ;)
12:33 her name is PVRIS
i would love to watch you react to the 2019 worlds opening ceremony, is in person in a stadum cus befor covid and the preformers are ameizing is Aweiking in live and Gigants that you girls have already react, you are gona be speachless with a normal ceremony (honetsly thank god the covid year at least we got this arcane thing cus the events where a little sad with no people and social distancing)
the best one is 2019 for sure, also they're "opening ceremony" but in reality they're played right before the final
It was a studio performance because of COVID.
If you watch 2019 opening it was pick, opening 2022 was good and there is many more thing to watch
you should watch more worlds opening ceromony's riot goes crazy over these events
LoL worlds is the biggest esport tournament in the world every year they hold a world championship and have a ceremony this was the 2021 ceremony. Yeah most of the times it's Korean teams that win the world championship with some Chinese teams taking it here and there too. It's a huge event and even though I don't play the game much anymore I still tune in to see what they do during the ceremony because the production is always cool most of the times it's really good. Years ago Riot did literal music concerts with their music but they don't do those anymore at least I haven't heard of any sort of events recently. Which is a shame because throughout the years Riot has produced a ton of good music.
please watch the opening ceremony of 2019 there you can see the true talent that is working in riot games. you can see the characters come to life on stage :)
Watch the CBLOL Open Ceremony too! It's from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️ The 2017 edition is amazing!
So every year Riot produces a theme hype song for that years World's competition. The song you don't recognize is that years anthem.
The Imagine Dragons song Warriors was the theme song for one of the World Championships.
15:00 it's usually Korea and China fighting each other at the end so yea they're usually all asian 😆. EU has won a couple of times and NA the closest we've ever came to winning was C9 in 2018 we came in 3rd 😭😭
Korea has been the dominant region in league now for over 10 years now. Though it’s an American based company Koreans just have better organization, sponsorship, discipline, they are truly CRACKED. There are multiple regions but majority of Korean teams qualify for worlds. But yeah worlds is the biggest E-sports tournament in the world , with biggest cash prize in esports. 2-5million dollar cash prize
agreed except for the last part, pretty sure The International has the biggest prize pool by far
U guys should also watch some CBLOL opening ceremonies, they are REALLY cool and have amazing performances as well!
Allllright, I'm on my third video. You got my subscribe.
Let’s gooo!! 🥹🩵🙏🏼
Why mute parts??? You shown other openings with no problem why have a problem with this one???
The reason it's all Asians is because the E-sports industry and infrastructure is SO big in China and Korea.
E-Sports are literally funded by their governments and players get so much support from both their governments and family.
It's a stark contrast to Americas and Europe because people still think "Pro gaming/E-Sports" is not legitimately a career and the governments don't care too much.
Although, these days, immigration/visa wise, they're starting to recognize E-Sports, but there's still many issues and there's a long way to go.
That said.. they're not just a bunch of nerdy Asians. Every "Worlds" there's a storyline with each team and individual player and it's still exciting to see who our favorite will win.
Despite it usually being Korea vs China (for the past few years), each player is unique and some are particularly famous and well known and can be why we support a particular team/region.
Also, to clarify.. for "Worlds" a team of 5 players from each region participate locally in their own regions and the winners go onto "Worlds" where they participate against every other region.
If you want to really be impressed by an Openning during world championship you should try 2019 (I dont say this cause im french (yes a little) But they are awesome ! Great to see you react to LOL !
Can you guys watch Ekko's cinematic? Its called "seconds"
I would think, since they claim to be such musicphiles, that they would be into listening to all the champion themes... and maybe even looking at the Riot bands like KD/A, Pentakill, True Damage, and Heartsteel
The last song is for the worlds
TLDR:
Worlds is a League of Legends annual tournament, biggest one.
Love the TL;DR lol 🙏🏼
If you'd like to see more League videos featuring Fortiche's animation, I recommend the Rise and the KDA Pop Stars music videos. :)
please react to 2019 opening ceremony next i love you both and love the reaction but i would love to see you react to them in order !
yeah. all the players are asian (specifically Korean) because they are the best in the world. Other countries get pretty close or at least make it to Worlds, but it's generally Korean's that win the Championship because Korea is just on another level when it comes to training for esports.
2019 worlds is probably the best one to watch
People of all races compete in worlds--Korea, China, Europe, North America, Pacific Asia, Vietnam, Japan, Brazil, and Latin America each have their own teams... but yeah, Korea and China are the only regions that really win, so if you ever see two teams squaring off with a bunch of fanfare, the teams are probably from one of those 2 regions. (Europe and North America are usually considered second-tier, with the other regions kind of clustered below them in the standings).
oh wait until they see the 2019 Worlds Opening.
❤❤❤❤❤
would be nice to react to all the modern day worlds though, or the modern day League cinematics, peak entertainment if not anything else
I don't know if you guys are still checking the comments to this video, BUT... can I request you guys watch LoL Odyssey? It's not in the main LoL universe, but it does have Jinx in it and I think it's kinda cool and really fun. So.. what do you guys think?
We will check this out thanks for the rec! 🙏🏼
@MeeshDeeReacts Of course! I found you both only recently when I saw you reacted to the Bridging the Rift docuseries. And after watching that and some of your other videos, you both quickly became my favorite reaction channel. Keep up the great work!
Please Look at 2023 Worlds open ceremony and The League songs💥
You guys should really watch the other opening world ceremonies. Theyre all really good (minus the year where covid effected production). The community as a whole generally "best" worlds is 2019. Lots of holograms
You should watch riot season cinematics and songs, they are awsome
2019 next please!!!
Bravo.
It’s not an awards show lol it’s like the World Cup of league of legends
Those were the top 2 teams after a playoff bracket stage. I believe Worlds has 8 teams make it to playoffs and 16 overall teams. They play in a group stage with 4 teams, one from each major region, per group with 4 groups.
fireeeeeeeee
LFGGG✨
Girls you have to watch the worlds open ceremony feat kda, was 2018 i think
As others saids this performance hapepened on covid time, also its awesome but maybe you can reaciton to others openings ceremonies, i'ts a very produced shows :3
Yeah South Korean and Chinese players are the best in the world. League is incredibly popular in those countries.
Since youre deep into the League world, you might as well check out KDA. Theyre Riot's Kpop/Pop group. Their Songs Pop Star and More have like half a billion views.
Hiiii ill be amazing if u guys watch the other music videos from the game, also there’s mini story’s like the star guardian one that’s animations from some other characters on the game ✨✨
good channel, good videos. i like it
Hello, I love your videos, it would be great if you reacted to the 2023 League of Legends World Cup Seremony!!! a hug!!!
❤️❤️❤️
React to all Worlds openings
why don't you react world anthem those pretty good
as much as i like jaeh LOVE this, it still isnt as great as the live performances are on stage.
