Jackson casually surviving Pyke's ult. Truly a legend
"Report pyke cant even press r when enemy bar is red"
Not that special, enemy team always survives my pyke ults
but bro didnt we hear star walkind 2918-2-9 times very time i open the clint -w- i kinda miss when its silent
@@Sadly1tsNoah bro there's a button to mute the music in the top right
This dude has a great presence.
I was completely convinced that Lil Nas X was going to be wearing the K'stane prestige, so him coming out as Lux actually made me howl
AS LUX IM DEAD
edit: hold up is this actually lux's outfit i just noticed the armor
K'Sante*
@@ThatOneCWhite my mind said "huh it looks like Armor of the Fifth Age Taric" XDD
definitely in character tho lol I feel like nobody but him would do that
Lmao me too HAHAHA...
This opening was truly amazing. Everyone's already pointed out Jackson Wang's spectacular performance but man, I have to give props to Lil Nas X as well. Dude has overcome so much from all the negative attention he gets and has proven that he isn't just a one-hit wonder wth Old Town Road. Hate him or love him he's here and I respect that.
yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss
And he's consistent too. That's a real mark of talent. Anyone can one hit wonder, but to consistently deliver fun, interesting songs with their own feel... he's definitely got real talent.
Will be honest with you even tho I will always think this song doesn’t hit as hard as most other world songs with the hype and the thrill of final tournaments it’s still really good and well done
@@ukraineakshan946 personally i think the song fits well with worlds 22 after the outcome with DRX the underdog winning
The Call was pretty sick as well
That second guy KILLED it, really liked his performance
Jackson wang 🙏
Lil nas x
Jackson Wang is really good he has a company Team Wang really good videos good acting!
You are aware that it was playback right?
his songs are rly good too !!
Second performer took advantage of that incredible stage. Nice performance
Thats Jackson Wang!! He's a K-pop Idol from GOT7 and currently working on Solo Projects :DD
Jackson wang .he is chinese artist
chinese in korea yes@@helloannyeonghaseyo3372
Thats Jackson mf Wang. He's a killer performer.
@@reiou why he supports china even though he born in HongKong? If he supports China for money, I can understand him enoughly 😂
You may not see this post but to the Riot stage designers, set builders, sound technicians, visual techs, the performers all of you- you knocked it out of the park Again. Quality is becoming Riot's trademark and it's because of your efforts, that is your trademark. Thank you.
there were 70 53 foot trailers for this show!!!
@@trevor2518 and approximately 380,000 pounds hanging in the air…2,700 LED video panels, 2000 lighting fixtures, 400 rigging points, 24 35k lumen projectors…I’m sure I’m missing a few other bits of trivia….
More like the company they hired to do the event. They're not just gonna suddenly enter showbiz and start designing stages and sets for one event they only do yearly
@@shivamarya5225 like only if hiring a company would be enough to get this...
@@helderduarte213 no but its not like they started arranging the stage themselves and putting it up without any prior experience. 100% They hired some concert and events company
The opening act and Jackson Wang's performance right off the bat was insane and sent chills down my spine.
Everyone killed their performances especially Jackson Wang! He set the stage on fire at the opening and I'm amazed! ⚔️⚔️
G DRAGON KING ,
Jackson Wang is a truly incredible experience.
The Call was a great choice to open the ceremony, it gives the chance to show all the history and weight of the competition
And then Jackson just delivered one of the best performances in LoL history
definitely not one of the best. it was good but meh for riot standards
@@defectivepikachu4582 well if u look at lil nas as the counter part. Then yes one of the very best xD like mate the dances were miles apart :)
@@defectivepikachu4582 considering that more than half of Riot ceremonies performances are singer standing still and letting the tech team work their magic (which is perfectly fine, 2018 and 2019 ceremonies are my favorites), having an artist dancing, singing and delivering a good performance with a whole different ambiance on stage is what I would qualify in my book as one of the best performances in LoL ceremonies
But I can understand if it's not your cup of tea
@@defectivepikachu4582 People have selective memories. 2021 was good but ruined by covid. 2020 had nothing to offer and was generally considered underwhelming. 2019 had the amazing holoscreen tech that they replicated here. 2018's Rise was sung off tune. 2017 had a cool dragon, but main singer had a hard time hitting those high notes on a public stage.
@@Cruxispal 2018 had kda and in 2017 it wasnt that he couldnt hit the notes that he already hit before in the song that he made, his mic just wasnt loud enough and was being drowned out
not as grand as the elder dragon one or the moving platform of 2018 but the interactions with the champions and the singers/dancers were pretty good. i liked them
u truly are dry
It was ok
Well at least it was better than last year (was it last year?) With the whole pandemic Galio - KDA disaster
@@GReyn last year was the awesome arcane event, the weird cgi was the 2020 one
@@uns33nbois81 oh yeah my bad.. i meant that one.. that was probably the worst world event..
I feel Worlds 2022 opening was more appealing to watch for both viewers at home and live than this year's opening. Riot should use more this technology than AR/CGI
Honestly hands down 2019 was probably the best of the openings because it used its AR/CGI well, Riot keeps misusing it by making AR/CGI perform the whole performance take a look at the catastrophe of the 2020 opening, but the 2019 opening used it as an effect to amplify aspects of the performance in a way thats impactful and gone fast enough for the audience to remain in awe before they notice any issues in the effect.
@cempur7599 day late comment but 2019 and 2022 used a projection onto a see through mesh. The mesh would catch the projections making a hologram effect. I prefer this over the AR stuff cause even the live audience can see them. Also it blends better with the performances it was used in.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this year's was not as good.
only the first 5 mins of 2022 were better than 2023.
i agree, 2023 opening was not great
I am blown away by Star Walkin'. I heard it once and that was it for me: I adore it! HUGE props to Lil Nas X for this absolute banger, and that's without even mentioning his incredible stage presence and knack for subverting expectations! Him as Lux is amazing!!!
Yep! Loved it...!!! ♥♥♥
Dude is extremely talented, and yeah... he owns a stage when he's on it. there are very few game companies that put this much love back into the community.
Sameee since the first time I heard it
If you can get a tix to a Jackson Wang concert you should cos dude has the most insane storytelling and choreography. So, this is how legends are made!
I just got into his songs a few months ago and I’d say it’s very suited to my taste. I’m very picky when it comes to listening to songs and me liking a song says a lot about the artist.
@@almendriaflorentino humble urself
@@almendriaflorentino The artist must truly owe you a lot 🙄
@@CommentaryWtihCarmine How is that bad though. I'm just saying I am very picky when it comes to music. Did water get somehow into your brain and stopped you from comprehending a proper sentence?
@@Ahmer46 you need to learn how to read and comprehend properly if you're going to call me out on something that is not problematic. It just means that I have a refined taste and doesn't just listen to any artist unless they give me something interesting. bobo.
Jackson ate up the whole stage! The grand opening till the break dance at the end, I just couldn't get over it. It is phenomenal. Kudos to Jackson and all the amazing dancers and crew! It's amazing!! 🫡🫡
i can tell u liked it, you made atleast 3 comments only talking about him lol..
@@uk1yo She's a Jackson Stan, they will swarm the comment section of every video about him.
His performance was good as he managed to dance and sing at the same time which isn't easy.
@@uk1yo was about to comment the same thing, 3 comments of the same person only talking about jackson hahhah
@@smashrosa8111 this is lipsync. Nothing live about these performance besides lil nas x opening line.
@@iwantmmore I noticed after, the grand final was late in the night where I live.
I dont play Lol, i dont watch Lol, but this kind of love for a community from the devs is just amazing, really looking forward to the MMO and seeing what the devs will do there with the competative side, probably going to be amazing.
Fucl yeaaaag
this aged well
@@arcadia8017 No it didn't 💀
Totally agree!
G DRAGON KING ...
love how every year riot has more and more interactions with their champions at worlds and in their videos. it really brings their characters to life. and considering our role in the lore, it makes it better.
What is our role in the lore? Sorry for my bad english grammar by the way?
@@andrjsjan4231 Not sure, but we are the creators/summoners of the champions in League. In the old lore the player also got called a summoner. I dont know if the purpose of that is already known or not, I think the whole summoner idea was scrapped or is not getting used anymore.
@@Lyu-Phy That's not canon anymore
@@andrjsjan4231 there is none. Riot scrapped it all. Reason for the new trophy
@@shoxcodes Actually, the biggest reason for the new trophy is that the original Summoner's Cup weighed 70-freaking-pounds (32 kg). For comparison, the NHL's Stanley Cup is 34.5 lbs (16 kg) and the collegiate American football's Heisman Trophy weighs 45 lbs (20 kg) - trophies expected to be hoisted high by physical athletes. Riot has mentioned it was a mistake making it so heavy, as many players struggled to handle it on stage with grace.
The new trophy weighs 44 lbs...
jackson's truly the performance king... song, vocals, dance, costume, use of stage and animations, everything perfect
Playblack
Vocal?? He performance is good , energy, dance beautiful, deep actin yes i agree. But when you considered King at vocal. Then i wonder how many male singer you was listening
This is RIOT's production are u 70 iq
It is exactly the same when you open the game, pretty obvious they just play the cd
He's trash imo
´´THE CALL´´ was legendary for this year I just hope that next year when season starts they can bring something similar, pure CHILLS.
You jinxed it man
@@albi7894 :(
Jackson's voice, music, costumes and dancing when on stage is absolutely deadly. spectacular.
He was in playback 😂
@@ggiuam24 everyone was lol
@@ggiuam24 everyone does playback in the world finals since 2018, lmao u tried
G DRAGON KING -
This opening ceremony may be never topped in esports. The first part with all the players lined up is like a movie its insane
Both Jackson and Lil’ Nas had phenomenal stages and you can tell how much effort and practice they put in for them. 💜
G DRAGON KING ,
ye i bet like a WHOLE WEEK
Yooo Jackson killed this performance 🔥
@Subbing To Everyone Who Subs To Me ты проклят. И это проклятие ты никак не снимешь.
In 2010 when my friend download league of legends on my computer I never expected Riot games would turn out like this
Big W
@@hukmai Must be crazy when you've been there since the start where everything was super wonky and weird looking still. My friends and I joined at the end of december in 2016 and despite not having been here as long these performances still hit deep. I believe mostly because they really make the characters and the world feel alive which is a fantasy most of us only felt during our childhood.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 tell me about it,
the two games my friend said to try back in 2009-2010
League of legends
Mincecraft ($21.79 euros to usd LOL)
Look at them now...crazy
I wasn't a fan of Star Walkin as a worlds anthem but now we're on the other side of the tournament, I don't think this song could capture the essence of Worlds 2022 any more perfectly.
True, i really liked how this worlds ended because it fits Star Walkin. Although it's also true that if you listen to it without this context it doesn't really sound as a world's anthem haha
tbh i think the part that made it good live was the guitar solo part near the end
@@ethanjow6531 Definitely
The best world finals I've ever watched, and I really enjoyed the opening ceremony! RIOT really delivered this year and I'm so greatfull for an amazing ending to another season of a game I love.
Jackson Wang is like a hidden diamond is now starting to shine and the world will see the work of a genius man full of talent and creativity.
Who are you talking about?
@@Katarinq I'm sure they're talking about the second performer, Jackson Wang
@@the_teri Yes. Thanks
@@Katarinq Yes I mean Jackson Wang. Thanks.
he hasnt been hidden at all hes been widely popular for many years...
Just WOW. Jackson's performance in the opening ceremony is so spectacular. His stage presence is majestic. The Star of Stage. I hope LOL will bring Jackson Wang back for S2.
Jackson Wang is killing this.
G DRAGON KING ...
Everyone keeps coming back to 2022 saying 2023 wasnt good but i actually really like both of them.
I also loved both of them but the 2022 one left it at a high level.
Dang when they introduced the players at the beginning was such a good vibe. That be a special memory man
Im speechless Jackson! The outfit, choreography,
makeup, visuals and everything else, like what you mentioned, is based on the story itself. You immersed yourself into the storyline to create a fictional character (Ezreal) worthy for LoL. It is so artistic and magical!
It's LIT! Kudos to Jackson Wang, the dancers and crew!!! 👏👏👏
Ikr
cringe
@@akaliotp6766 ?
Jackson served and ate the performance, left no crumbs. Also loved Edda and Lil Nas' performance since the song is bop
Jackson really looks like Ezreal I can’t and all this Lux abilities aww
Jackson Wang wooooow I love you league of legends for Jackson Wang
Jackson Wang's performance blew me away, what a star! 🔥🔥🔥
Jackson Wang literally ate up the whole stage. Look at the amount of cheers at Chase Centre when he performed. It is just marvellous!!
Jackson's performance at the opening ceremony is insanely good! I love the choreography between him and the dancers, and the digital effects too. This is an amazing cornucopia of visuals and sound.
This outstanding performance made him the star of the show. In my perspective, he carried the opening ceremony. 🔥🔥
the amount of effort and money riot puts into these performances is why I love them as a company. They bring so much hype to the game, it's sad that most people dont see this stuff.
They reinvest their profits back into the game than just cash out
@@noproblematallmate um.. ok..?
Some how the theme and lyrics in the Anthem "Starwalkin" seem so fitting with DRX winning it all as absolute under dawgs. "dont ever say its over if im still breathing"
Man using THE CALL as an opener really hit hard. i always wanted it to be in worlds and yeah its epic
i think watching the 2023 ceremony than this just shows how much stage presence lil nas x has lol his stage was so much more hype
They finally came back after the pandemic, love to see it.
Jackson deserved a louder reaction to his performance. Understandable that some people didn't know him, some don't like kpop, some don't like him as a person, but he always makes such nice and very artistic performances and this was no the exception. Everyone did great here! The dancers worked hard too.
I think that the lack of reaction is due to the song being very new :) fans had only a few days to get familiar with it. It's not like the Call or Star Walkin that are already very well known.
@@cheylahnwe agreed! i hadn't heard jackson's before but i've been listening to star walkin on repeat for the last week or so. jackson was AMAzING
the song had only been out for a few days! same with edda hayes's song
I was there and the crowd went crazy when Jackson showed up. This stream doesn't do the performance justice
@@Reaper0143 This, I was there as well, the crowd went wild for most of the performance. They don't include it on stream all of the time because you need to hear the music ;)
I got goosebumps all over my body, both Jackson and Lil Nas really give out great performance and not to forget the outstanding animations from Riot.
We’re back to real amazing opening cermony’s!! Loved this one
Star walkin, with that melody, with that voice, with the lyrics that literally shows drx's adventure, still gives me goosebumps. At least for next 4 years, no stage will do better than this
Everyone outdid themselves what a ceremony. Jackson Wang performance was fire as the others also.
The effects are amazing, especially Jackson Wang getting hit by Pyke and Lil Nas getting lifted by Azir at the end
i didnt watch worlds last year but this was just better than this year's no?
2019 is best btw
Last year was insane yeah, game amazing as possible, and so high level from both teams
I can't be the only one who got chills during the T1 and DRXs introduction right? To this day I still think about it
the 2nd performer is so satisfying to watch
Second one was definitely the best.
So happy to see the Call being the intro song for this year's Worlds Championship!!! Always love Lil Nas X's songs + performances on stage, and the group dances with Jack Wang were epic 👏
This opening ceremony is perfection and hyped me up so much for the game!! Breathtaking all of the performers!!
oh my god, the graphics, the costumes, their voices ... the chills 💘💘💘💘💘 Jackson's voice sent shivers down my spine 💓💓💓
The voices ❤️❤️❤️ from playback 🥵🥵🥵
@@bartosz3153 recorded by him☺️then always his voice💓
@@ericadomizio1896 tell him lol
@@ericadomizio1896 It just doesn't feel the same when the singer isn't even singing their song live. That's my issue. The voice is so modified in post that when they playback it genuinely loses all passion and just sounds like they hit play. now he is just pretending to sing the song. We want to hear the imperfections and the singers voice POP in the mix. Starwalkin isn't hype enough to just hit play
I love the way Riot set up the gap between the opening ceremony and the games before people get too far from calling it a game company that thrives on music and short animation videos. Congrats to DRX but both of the teams delivered. Huge respect from an LPL fanboy.
i was in love with the 2023 opening ceremony but i realized it’s mostly the cgi that carried unlike this 2022 opening, the performers went all out
i thought this was bad compared to past worlds but 2023 showed me to be grateful for this
2022 and 2023 were one of the best, Riot is only improving year by year!
@@VaMage2023 was so embarrassing had to come here to refresh my eyes
@@peruperaoOolegit
dead game. only downhill from here on
@@edhahaz Peak player numbers and competitive viewer counts. League is thriving more than ever.
Jackson Wang performed so well🔥🔥🔥 The way he bought the story to life and respected the art. His overall stage presence is amazing
Yooooo jackson wang slay
Jackson Wang + the stage is just awesome. No need to say more xD
Coming to appreciate this masterpiece of a opening after watching the behind the scenes! Thankyouu for all effort, blood sweats and tears you all have put to make this possible ❤️
Loved this entire ceremony!! Respect to the artist, Riot music and the visual artist that let the Champs shine! Never know what to expect each worlds and this year they killed it!
For me it was boring and kinda mehhh. They are getting worse every year and pls dont call lil nas anymore he is so bad
Killed it in the worst way possible
Jackson ❤Our King😎❤️❤️❤️
watching this almost after a year and it still gives me goosebumps
Star Walkin' feels like a Worlds' song to me, no idea why it wasn't perceived like that by so many people when we have a lot of similar genres of music in there. I think it fits better than a lot of what we usually get.
It's because of the pattern from the other songs, it's different. I like Star Walkin, but i too thought it was kinda weird, like it didn't hype me up... But now, with DRX winning it fits so well
Cuz it's straight up boring.
@@LuckyGnom yeah like u
LIl NAS X and Jackson Wang answered their calling.
Jackson presentation is on another level! 🔥
Jacksong wang for worlds anthem 2023
Impressive!
The final moment as the players approach the stage and the lights above their heads start turning. Totally flashed me again Riot!
Jackson Wang’s performance was amazing!
Jackson stole this one, performance and music wise. I don’t know who he is but he deserved the spotlight.
Jackson was so good AAAHH
I can’t believe I didn’t know Jackson Wang performed for the Worlds 2022 opening ceremony 😭
same WTF 😢
jackson's performance was the greatest 🔥 he killed and took advantage of the stage to the fullest 🤩 respect 🙏
Jackson Wang 🔥
Jackson performance was amazing
I keep watching Jackson Wang's performance and just think how friggen awesome it is. :)
Jackson is a superstar
He's such an amazing performer and I hope he knows how proud ahgase are of him 💚💚💚
Thanks for having Jackson
2 things i love in this life Jackson wang and league of legends so imagine how i feel right noooow ommmmmg
That’s amazing, like your heart was bursting with happinesses when your two worlds collided, love Jackson so much ❤
Our Jackson🔥so proud of him.
Jackson Wang, he is not only unique in his voice and music, because he managed to give color to his art with his genius creativity. That's the great thing about him, coupled with his deadly stage acts. He already should be worldwide.
Jackson performance is amazing… his voice, his costume, dance power and the animation effect all are on point .. he is really talent
I cried when I saw this live. Beautifully done friends. GLHF
OMG Jackson Wang is amazing
Jackson Wang is a whole other level of performer - always speechless
I always get goosebumps everytime i watch opening ceremony
how many times have you seen it already?
haha i always too ! but sadly not this time
Not this time.
I feel goosebump when "the call" played and not when lil nus cosplay as a lux
Yeah, I didn't this time though :(
Jackson Wang breathing for 1 second > all of heart steel’s existence
Jackson 🔥Jackson 🔥Jackson 🔥Jackson 🔥Jackson 🔥Jackson 🔥
jackson is so cool
Jackson just keeps outdoing himself! This performance is just so frickin cool!!
Imma say this New Jeans and Heartsteel combined did not have the same energy that Lil Nas X had.
agree, i came for the same reason
I keep rewatching his performance ngl
This sounds beautiful compared to 2023 :( sad the audio techs failed
Jackson is dope!!!
Jackson Wang 🔥🔥
Jackson 👍👍🔥
As an Azir main, I can't be the only one that noticed that Lil Nas X did a cheeky thing when he got on Azir's hand and began to 'Arise' at the end. Well played Lil Nas X and LoLesports!
Jackson’s performance never let us down. Truly art
Yasssss Jackson! ❤
absolute goosebumps
This ceremony was better and not off tempo/ full of lip synchs. But I am glad T1 finally got their comeback in 2023 😊
