Formerly titled: This Esport Should Be Dead By Now
I am back with a (rare) personal video! This video means a lot to me because the very first esports video I uploaded was an (in hindsight, not very good) LCS hype video.
Since then, you've all shown me so much love and support, to the point where I went from making fan-made video, to working with Riot, to now leading my own small production team. My company is now in charge of all Dignitas LCS content, as well as working closely with Riot on VCT Game Changers content.
I wanted to reiterate that thank you to you all.

Thank you everyone for watching ❤
Btw, some people have asked where to donate, which is really appreciated cause I make ZERO money off these videos (cause of all the copyrighted music I use). So I have a PayPal me link in the description!
gettin me hyped for the LCS
this is awesome
You can try to use non-copyrighted music provided by youtube, maybe you wont make these vids so fancy but it can bring you some income!
I miss Dash so much..... I don't understand why is isn't still with LCS ....
greed
so they can push more work onto the minimal on air talent they currently have.
why have one dedicated host when you can cycle host, interviewer, analyst, and caster between 4 people?
Dash deserves better than what the lcs wouldve given him
He's the wrong skin color for the DEI quota
I mean he is alright but real fans miss Riv. He was the heart and soul of broadcasts. Riv and Kobe shoutcasting together was the best era.
in all honestly it was NRG's run at worlds that brought back life to the LCS as delusional as it was it gave hope and as they say all you need is a little hope
Life hasnt been brought back to the LCS tho, they had a very slight increase in viewership but thats including the fact that they gave some of the biggest content creators in the league space co-streaming so in actuality the viewership is still going down.
@@sashin2661lol that’s not true look it up before you comment
@@BradleyIAM average viewership from spring 2023 was 109,759 compared to spring 2024 with 120,686.
Thats a roughly 11k increase but as i said they opened up costreaming to pretty much everyone and very notable people in the league community started costreaming LCS for the first time ever like Caedrel and Baiano and others. These 2 streamers make up for way more than that 11k difference.
I just looked it up and what i said is just factually correct, happy?
NRG run at Worlds is THE reason I started watching and following LCS/Pro at all and I've been playing since 2012. Now I can't believe I missed all those years.
Also TL almost beating T1 MULTIPLE TIMES IN THAT SERIES MAN THAT WAS HYPE
The Zuna clip made me sad, RIP to such a wonderful person and pioneer in the scene
that clip is a classic now
I was spitting that series at 14:00 sheesh
(Also great vid)
Idk if you mean that literally or figuratively, but we miss you. I miss the Replay Files.
"NA FIGHTS OFF THEIR DEMONS" yeahhhh you cooked
Miss your casts man❤
Doesn't happen often these days that a 16 minute video grabs my attention all the way til the end. Insanely well made, loved it in its entirety. Even made me a bit emotional in the end ngl. Good shit.
Faker dead face bm at the end is nasty...
NA solo q harder than worlds. fking genius comment
Bro drops an uplifting video and Riot literally dissolves the LCS within a week 💀
Faker stone cold at the end with that quote lmao
Shiiittt lol
god i love hearing Kobe's call out when CLG first one LCS "and he faithful shall be rewarded"
Silvxs carrying the region and fandom of LCS on his back. Again. My goat.
I. Am. Back.
This was the biggest love letter to any sport of any kind i think i have ever seen. Well done sir.
This video is so nostalgic thank you so much for taking the time to find these moments from the older lcs games
Man, I am 28 years old and crying like a child. Well done Silvxs. You are the goat.
Such a great video. With goosebumps on my arms and tears welling up in my eyes, this is truly a love letter to the LCS. I know LCS will probably never win Worlds/MSI but every tournament I'm bleeding red white and blue. GG

@@jal-kx6tmred and white
i miss the tsm vs clg days man. also, rip zuna
there is no lcs without tsm and clg. miss these orgs every single day
What do you mean rip zuna... He passed, no shot?
@@spicesmuggler2452 oh brother
Exactly, the new players arent rly likeable or marketable like the old ones. Like blaber who tf cares 😂
@@suluhwidyotomo7942I think they can be marketable but they just aren’t aloud to say much especially right after franchising there’s was so much money and sponsors they had to hold them selves back most of the time and be completely brand friendly but I think that’s starting to change a bit
This was a beautiful video, man. Thanks for making it!
Man 12:05 giving me chills. I used to be a color caster for Raafaa, Kangas, and Joushi back when they were in the amateur scene. Always knew they had the chops to make it, but it's so cut throat in Esports. So glad to see they've all made it, fucking legends 🥲
watched the video and found myself crying like a 5 years old kid getting a christmas gift. thank you lcs and silvxs for all the fond memories. jesus.
Very well made. Idk if it would have been possible to show both playerz like Licorice, Stixxay and Contractz's early highs and then revisit them with all of their return to form last year in some way. Though I'm glad they at least got some highlight they deserved.
Made me cry, love you brother
you arent even an og fan tf you mean you cried lmao

Your speech was incredible and is what we need for the LCS! Goat in the making!
oh man...I haven't been this glued to a screen in such a long time. Thank you so much for the memories and I will continue to support this amazing esport, especially our boys in the LCS. Can't wait for the next video!
This is one of the best League of Legends videos I've seen period. I got into league right at the start of 2016. This unironically made me a little bit emotional because this game/esport/region have been something I look forward to. It feels genuine to me and seeing so much of this greatness again gave me some chills. This region though it's not the best sometimes feels like it could possibly be a powerhouse and give me hope EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I love LCS, we have great casters, great on air talent, and players who can become great. Great edit man. Thanks for this, unironically gave me motivation to actually spend time on some solo queue (weird I know, but made me inspired to work hard. Great work.
The 'Daydream' portion really hit hard was when I started really watching pro league and was great to see those moments again. Starting to get some same feeling this year thank you for making this
2017 to 2020 was the best time in pro league imo
As a long time LCS fan this might be my favorite video of all time. Just captures the craziness of the ride that loving this game, sport, and league has been.
I could watch this video on repeat. I've loved the LCS journey, even the low points. Hope it continues for a long time.
its only low points not won anything, the best result was gettin out of swiss round in worlds
@@aaronschroth5512 you clearly havent watched league then we have made MSI finals twice 2016 and 2019 then c9 made it out into semis in 2018 also you had NRG who made it into main stage last year i know NA is shit but dont downplay what has been done
Damn you made me cry dude, huge talent and work put into this video. Thank you for that
As an european Fnatic fan it's fun to flame and participate in banter between regions but i truly hope you guys succeed and go as far as you can each internacional, we need to get americans interested in league once more, you're still a big part of this and the one thing we all have in common is our love for the game and we can't do this without you guys, for the sake of our community, for the sake of League of Legends and for the sake of this beautifull esport that caught my interest even more then the casuals sports, we need to put NA back on the map, we need to pressure Riot and make them take this esports more serious, i'm speaking about NA but even EU is slowly decaying, Riot needs to do better for us in the West, more events, tournaments, promos etc. We need to come together as a community cause if NA truly falls, it will be only a matter of time before the whole esport collapses
They need to fix player numbers. Promote the game more, nobody new plays it, numbers are declining for some time now. Releasing new champs does nothing for would be players.
Promote using your waifus and husbandos
I’ve had a lot of resentment for EU fans and online personalities for a while now because of just how toxic they were to our players and teams I know it wasn’t just EU doing it but they seemed the main proponent of how negatively people started to view the LCS and obviously some of that is how bad we did for a few years there but anytime even to this day whenever NA does something good all the EU casters and personalities down play it but when an EU team does something okay they are all positive about it
Nice video, not sure anything else has made me as interested in LCS as this
This was a damn good video, well done. Been watching LCS for what feels like forever (since 2013) and no matter how they do internationally I genuinely just enjoy watching the region. This got me hyped for summer split, well done!
Brilliant story telling, everything blended together beautifully. No narration necessary!
Glad you picked up on that 🥲 I love letting the content of the clips speak for itself 🗣
AoT video now that it’s ended? Can’t wait
Just watched the video because it was mentioned on the Travis podcast. Great video!
I fell out of love with the LCS a long time ago, like, 2014. I think that, now, the potential perfect storm is brewing for a real comeback in viewership. This video is the cherry on top of everything else.
I work on Sundays for about 13 hours, but I will do my best to be a viewer for both the LCS and the NACL. I want to basically vote with my viewership that I agree with the efforts being put into the scene, and I hope others do the same. We’ll see if a team can win me over as a fan 🤞
banger of a video, been watching LCS on and off since season 3/2013 when I was 13, now I'm 24, season 14 still tuning in whenever I have my free time, thank you for this time capsule of a video amazing work man
The level of goosebumps at the end of the video was insane!!!! Well done and thank you so much for encapsulating the full experience of being a fan of the LCS. I have watched since the before the world championships were created and it felt soo good to see it all in one quick perfect video. Also one that didn't shy away from the lows of the LCS and sourced all voices on the topic. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
such a well crafted video. crazy to think about how ive grown up with this stuff
I was never a big fan of Mark on broadcast or even really in the scene at all, but the second I saw him talk about being the new commissioner and all their new idea, I knew he was going to be the best thing that happened to the LCS in years
Another god damn Silvxs BANGER. What a big one too. So many memories and hopes from NA...
Who are you
This video is incredible! The edit is on another level!
Absolutely inspiring to watch from a storytelling a craft perspective.
Thanks for the video man, a lot of memories, a lot of great stories, hard to believe that so much time has passed
I havent watched LCS in years but this video singlehandedly convinced me to watch summer split this year. LETS GO FLYQUEST
QT is a fucking legend. RIP Zuna. Dash gone too soon. And IWD's recap of this is legendary.
I said this when I quit lol at the end of season 4. If you change the playable characters identities while giving the viewers no reason to care about an individual pro player, people will quit playing. By the end of season 4 I had seen too many characters completely reworked that I stopped caring to play. Constant change is not good for the player base or pro scene. Riot just kept changing everything to try and attract the next years children of interest. Fortnite and valorant is attracting the next years children not LOL. Now you have a collapsing scene globally minus China/Korea. China/Korea are an isolated bubble. They don't need the USA/EU. If Riot gets desperate enough, I bet we see throwback mini seasons to play what it was like in season 1/2/3 etc. The championship faker ahri cash out makes it clear that Riot wants to start retroactively banking history feelings.
this is some godtier editing, i never cared for LCS tbh but i watched it whole and it was amazing, great job!
You made an amazing video. Your passion oozed with every cut and edit. Thank you
silvxs is baaackk lets gooo!!!!
It feels good to be back 🗣
What an amazing video god damm, made me sad hyped and nostalgic!!! LOVE IT
sick
Great fkin video... Loved it even tho I'm an EU viewer. It would probably hit me twice as hard if I was a NA fan. Hope u'll do a vid like that on LEC, fkin beautiful man...
Not me shedding actual tears on my way into work this morning... 🥲 What an absolute BANGER video, my man! Was excited about your introduction videos for the Dig players this split, and now I'm even more excited for the LCS overall. I'm rooting for TL and NRG, but tbh I love almost every team (now that we are down to only 8), so it doesn't matter who makes it to Worlds this year, I know they're gonna absolutely crush it. Thank you so much for making this! It was fantastic. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
If you're wondering where that banger version of 'Call Me' came from in the intro:
music.th-cam.com/video/u7P6CvSPeVQ/w-d-xo.html
What a video, good stuff my dude! Just saying, chapter 4 is IV not IIII😂
Man, you made me realize I'm still holding on to that TSM IEM Katowice Win from like, 9 years ago.
My olden brain has a hard time adjusting, so I'll have to go through All-Star LA 2015, MSI 2016, Rift Rivals 2017, Worlds 2018, All Star 2018, MSI 2019, MSI 2022.. then uh, unless I missed something, its mostly small wins after that.
Been following NA since season 2. This is a beautiful tribute. We may not be the best region but it’s our region.
Import retirement league
I rarely comment in videos like these, but this was a damn good watch. Looking forward to LCS' performance this Worlds 2024.
I don’t know who you are but I hope I see your name again, thank you for this masterpiece
I feel like hundred thieves and optic joining the league saved it. It added so many faithful fans followed those brands. Doublelifts multiple returns probably had something to do with it too
Thank God Mark became commissioner. He best represented the players, casters, and fans the most when it comes to LCS. As a 100T fans, I hate and thank APA for all chatting every game. It brings competitiveness to the maximum.
Damn this vid brings back memories holy cow not just of in game stuff but alos the friends i had back then we played it made me emotional good vid bud!
This video really captures the magic that was LCS watching from the beginning. Thank you so much for putting this together
Tbf 2016 NA Was a little insane, they didnt win, but i think it was really the only time where all 3 Na teams where at least on the level of the bottom tier Asian teams.
I loved the story you crafted, thank you for the time and effort to bring some love to the fathful
Honestly opening with NA's most recognizable/greatest pro player we have ever had and owner of the now debunk BDC, the one and only IMAQTPIE
This is edited so incredibly well. It may not be discussed enough but dawg, this is fire of a mini doc.
When I watch anything related to LCS as a TSM fan I get depressed. I understand how that older guys that keep talking about the 80s Bears felt. It will never be the same again.
HOLYFCK!! THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO AND BEAUTIFULLY EDITED!! WELL DONE!! I watch LCS and know these players by heart even when they get drafted to a different team or new roles. I'm peak gold. Bruh I really want any NA team to win worlds. ahahaha please.
Been watching since your 2017 worlds video, im never not going to get emotional from your vids. Cheers man, heres to the LCS.
Thank you for all the support through the years! That is absolutely unreal to think you've been watching since then.
@@Silvxs I've kept watching because you're one of the few people that captures what esports is all about, you're fucking amazing man haha. Your content has always been criminally underrated, hope one day you get to do something similar to what Fionn does and direct your own teasers/official Riot content!
i NEED a video like this on LEC, great production...
wow, absolutely amazing. there's no words i can use to describe how beautiful this video is. thank you silvxs.
it's hard to root for LCS when a lotta rookies are being unfavored for tryna buy old players when they could've spent less developing young talents. and it's even harder when 50% of the team aren't even americans. that's why NRG was a breath of fresh air.
I feel heckin old man, but great video, great memories, thank you
I need one of these for every region. Probably not gonna happen but wow i really need that. Amazing job again
How ironic that we're just starting to praise the next generation of LCS, and 9 days later riot decides to kill it for good.
To be honest , I used to go to watch the game live on Sat / Sun with a friend but since they switched to Wed and Thurs , I didn't even be able to catch a game .
I was shaking, crying, getting goosebumps on repeat while watching. Does not matter which part of the world you are... does not matter where you watch this... for sure we all love league! We all love some good effin league of legends! Great vid. Thank you Silvxs.
Holy.. sent shivers down my spine. I've felt the LCS throwing haymakers at the air trying to get something to land, and somehow, it is climbing back against all odds. I love the game, I love the scene. I'll keep cheering and hold myself to the standards of what a Fan should be. ❤🎉
1:14 kinda iconic that it all started with the very first TSM XD moment
13:52 honestly that was a sick leesin play. he dodges naut hook with ward hop then flash and kick gala.. wow
This needs to have millions of views, the chills I got was insane
Why, whenever you post a video, I feel every possible emotion possible and I am hyped up for the West to take down the East at Worlds. HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!?
Silvxs is everything I aspire to be as a creative mind and more. What a fantastic video.
TSM was a plague of an org, but goddamn I couldn't help but get chills hearing the TSM chants at 14:51.
Wow, this video was incredible. It definitely made me more hype of the LCS and gave a glimmer of hope for its future
The LCS has so many awesome stories... CG's miracle run, TL to MSI finals, C9 to Worlds Semis, among others. Always loved supporting our regions.
Those are all 5+ years old and it's only been since then that we've seen the decline of the league... But that hasn't stopped us from having new awesome stories. 2020 Golden Guardians become the protagonists for a day, Jojo and Danny win their rookie years, Licorice redemption arc into solokilling Bin, NRG doing the impossible and winning LCS, then beating G2, and of course, YAPA and Yeon win the chip and take a game off Faker. There are always new incredible things happening in LCS and I love being along for the ride.
Also, I listed a whole bunch of positive storyarcs above, but there is one more I need to include from 2020. The most dominant NA team of all time... completely collapses after losing a scrim to Yuumi. And doesn't make worlds.
Where did u get such clean footage this is insane
I have never been told a story like this, just pure emotions and memories, I was there, watching those pentakills go, I remember that death group of CLG, ROX and the unexpected ANX, watching Huhi on the legendary Asol, I could feel hope when CLG reached MSI finals, I got hit so fucking hard when Dyrus, my favorite, top retired, and the happiness in 2019, when the West suddenly looked like the region to finally believe, then, the end, past the glorious views of 2020, the Esport of practically all my life is dying, not really because the game is suddenly decided to die, but rather because the company wants it dead, thanks for the memory road
Im from EU here, I hope both our regions will get stronger in the future. Would be great to have more western teams to perform well at international tournaments 🎉
Wow this is an amazing video man! Well done!!!
What a beautiful video. I cannot wait for the LCS to start next week
travis gaffs image consultant put some work in! dude is straight dapper now
such as an amazing video, really enjoyed it!
Man a lot of these feel like they happened yesterday. Time flies and I love the memories but I'm glad I'm in a better place and would never go back lol.
insane vid. nice production. great storyline !!!
3:58 I just saw the first frame of that teamfight and immediately remembered. Lolesports is fn magical man.
2:04 OMG I remember that line so well. Nothing like Genesis LCS. So hype.
Seeing everyone look so young is just crazy. Reminds me how old I am now lmao
good lord i was not expecting to cry lmao... been watching LCS since season 3. this video means alot to me. good job
I don't really play the game and I've only been following LCS since late 2018, so I didn't get much of the "glorious" history of LCS, but I still loved this video. I don't care which region has the best gameplay or whatever, I just care about LCS and to be honest, right now I'm invested in the underdog story, I hope NA can revive the region!
This was an AMAZING video, great work. Perfectly encapsulated the history of NA league in all its glory and shame. Thank you for this.
This video was insane! Thank you for this amazing edit❤
Thank you too!
