No hate, his falsetto is absolutely solid. But his vocal fry could use a bit of work, honestly. Like it's good, but his vocal fry is not the greatest I've heard and definitely not the greatest falsetto singer than can do vocal fry. But I will admit, that falsetto is CLEAN for someone that does vocal fry. Again, not hating. I can't sing a falsetto that cleanly, but like Johnny Hawkins comes to mind for a singer that can hit that falsetto and has a far wider vocal fry range.
I was a fan of his music before I started playing Valorant, and I am really happy for all of the success he has had as a result. He definitely deserves all of the love coming his way, and he is a hell of an artist.
It's crazy how lit riot open ceremonies are compared to my favorite pro esports which was early days Overwatch league and the cringe DJ Khalid ceremony
@vincent-of7vo League events are way more packed at least from my knowledge like worlds last year filled an entire baseball stadium in Korea. CS crowds be hype too and fr this valo crowd is dead but the actual riot part of the ceremony was cool.
Idk bro. I would actually say ticking away is the best so far because although die for you is catchy, it doesn't have that same hype and enthusiasm that a champions song should have. It feels more sad and slow until the end.
@@i_am-meow-0912I agree them mixing it them together was the best way to do it. They play off each other perfectly showing the Kia Forum was just so awesome in that black and white filter.
This was amazing!!! I came here to watch emei's performance and she did so awesome! Grabbitz and bbno$ also did amazing as well, the whole ceremony was awesome!!
Haven't got that many chills for a while, absolutely was not expecting this as a first time VCT viewer, was even cooler live through twitch, can't imagine how incredible it must have been irl at the kia forum. Major props riot!
Same! They absolutely did not have ti go this hard for a gaming tournament, but I'm so happy they did. It was cool to see the performers were Riot fans and actually played the games (but admitted they weren't very good at them lmao)
Bbno$ and Ericdoa are the best parts of this for sure, I loved ONE so much and seeing it live was dope, glad he got that opportunity to be able to perform with such a huge audience watching
@@TheVonMatrices fr same, I was praying "please don't let the ceremony be a flop like last year" - turned out to be even better than 2021 - I was speechless, especially when the Spike exploded
It really gave me chills when die for you started, and the transition to ticking away was also insane🔥 Grabbitz is sick af💀 W opening ceremony for sure.
9:18 this part right here hits, cuz I can’t tell you how many times in Val I’ve been stomped and down by a lot and had the feeling of “what now?” And we kept pushing forward and try to catch back up! Love this song, it’s peak!
like thats just insanely good my favourite part was the reignition one (with emei), it was so good, everything.. the entire segment was just a round of valorant, it has a story to it
This is my first time watching a Valorant final. Everything was so well done and much better than I expected! I liked it more than the last LoL's ceremonies
The start from 'Die for you' gave me goosebumps and reminded me what a banger of a song it was but was never performed in an opening ceremony with a live audience.
I am still upset I missed the ceremony because they implemented a new bag rule on finals day that wasn't there the 2 days before. You had to check in ur bag by waiting in a 45 minute line.
this was actually incredible to watch live. i will always treasure the memory of lying in my bed and wathcing this happen on the other side of the world.
thanks for having me gamers ily pog
Poggers
Indeed very pog are you still bronze though?
poggers!!!!
Lets go gamers ily poggers
tu é o maior, doidão
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME VALORANT!!!!
YOU ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT! 🫶
You were amazing Emei!!! I absolutely loved it!!
hello sending love and appreciation u are always welcome
The scream I let out when I saw you on screen, WHAT A COLLAB
Damn you ate and left no crumbs sis 🔥
Valorant over everything
Dang this comment got buried, amazing performance my dude.
You were awesome!!
That's not easy to do live, absolutely killed it
Funfact: I searched for his comment
amazing performance bro
The trophy coming down with the piano gave me shivers! Amazing work!
Fr, that was amazing
Piano? lol
2:31

He's honestly so good. Check his other songs out.

Would've been nicer if it were his voice live and not prerecorded on this specific recording :\
The hype when the 'Die For You' played was fking insane. The transition was godly. Imagine being in the arena during that moment lol.
I wish I was there so bad I could cryyyyy
@@kaea_valyeah same
The lighting literally.. chills. The silhouette??..
I was tearing up here while rewathing this, I'd probably be sobing like a baby if I was there XD
I was there! It was the first esports event I've ever been to. It was fucking great. Totally worth it.
Shout out to all artists and Riot staffs. This is the most epic open ceremony of VCT.
I wish I could’ve watched all this in person. I think the opening ceremony is this grand because it’s in Riot’s city but hopefully they keep this up.
@@kaea_val Its first franchised finals thats why grand
for real! this was so epic i have goosebumps
also im your 1000th like :D
The part when Grabbitz enters the stage singing Die for you ALWAYS gives me goosebumps
same here bro🔥
Bro the whole thing gave me goosebumps
I sure would die for him
I often come back just for it
@@kakorotskywalker Me too I remembered it today and just clicked it again fast XD
Grabbitz is to Valorant what Imagine Dragons is to League of Legends. The perfect soundtrack.
Riots ceremonies are always absolutely awesome.

Here after 2024 opening to confirm that this is still the best opening so far
same lmao
Honestly fabulous job by the dancers, that dude at 5:30 literally does 4 backflips in a row flawlessly.
bro thinks hes Samira from league
@@saviolbnfulhe might as well be
lmao ong
I love Ticking Away but Die For You remains to be such a banger of a song. Best song they’ve released.
Debatable, but still is true. Both of them are actually bangers
Idk bro. I would actually say ticking away is the best so far because although die for you is catchy, it doesn't have that same hype and enthusiasm that a champions song should have. It feels more sad and slow until the end.
@@H20-t4pagreed
Ticking away X Die for you is the best one.

This was honestly one of the sickest moments in Valorant history imo. The Kia Forum stage is insanely cool!
bro defuse the spikeee why you dancinggg
Spike's about to go boom and bro's doing backflips :)) he prob on omega earth
thats exactly like my ranked games
@@TheGamenerd_ DUDE SAMEEEE
lmao i'm dead 😂💀
4 4 4 4!
This is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than 2024 finals ceremony, it doesn´t even makes sense how much better it is
Die for you of Grabbitz still gives me goosebumps
The transition from die for you to ticking away is so good
Grabbitz just carries the music for the Riot team at this point
For Valorant side definitely. For League we have Imagine Dragons, Zedd, The Word Alive, Newjeans etc. Pretty much everyone except Lil Nas.
@@freerun4370nas did really well what are u talking about lol
The whole stage design and concept is INSANE! Huge props to the team in the back!!!
nah this is way too good of a performance , the specials effects referencing the agents is so good too, well done
I feel like Grabbitz will be for valorant what Imagine Dragons is for League of Legends and I'm here for it, all his songs are bangers!
honestly, I love what against the current did with LOL too
Legends never die will forever remain my favorite
Yes legend never die and warriors go hsrd
ericoda turning around mic into a gun was such a cool transition from him, love that guy
I saw this live and damn. Every single day I miss watching this ceremony and game live. It was AMAZING!
dude the transition into the valorant 2023 theme at 7:07 was so damn epic
This was amazing!!! I came here to watch emei's performance and she did so awesome! Grabbitz and bbno$ also did amazing as well, the whole ceremony was awesome!!

bbnozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This is the best Grand Finals I have ever watched in VCT
The amount of chills that I had when watching this ceremony was crazy
This takes the cake for best Valorant Champs performance, Riot finally able to put on a spectacular for a live audience is awesome :D
IKR! I already died of excitement while watching it on Stream because I wasn't expecting this! By far the best Ceremony they've done! ❤
I expected something better than the lame show from 2022 but this vastly exceeded my expectations.
@@TheVonMatrices fr same, I was praying "please don't let the ceremony be a flop like last year" - turned out to be even better than 2021 - I was speechless, especially when the Spike exploded
So much better than the 24 opening ceremony
Fr
this was so amazing to see in person!! the first was so unexpected everyone was like "whoaa" lmao also could feel the heat from the 2nd floor still
Out of all the live performances in a riot event i think Grabbitz was definitely one of the best
Who’s here after the mid 2024 opening ceremony
The chills when grabbitz started singing aie for you
ericdoa slayed this. love him for getting this opportunity & hoping for more 🙏🙏🙏
completely agreed!!!!!
This is really the best oc imo
2023 > 2021 > 2024 > 2022
2024 over 2022 is illegal
That choreography by bbnomoney was incredible. 11/10 amazing
I've watched this for many times and I have to admit that Grabbitz is a talented guy, I love his voice
It really gave me chills when die for you started, and the transition to ticking away was also insane🔥
Grabbitz is sick af💀 W opening ceremony for sure.
Better performance then last year. Quality improved

I'm so happy professional gaming is getting this much love. Production is reaching super-bowl status and I'm here for it
I was there in person. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
The part
when the trophy was come out is insane 10:10
THIS IS LITTTTTTT
Sil
Opening ceremonies are always a fine line between cool or trying too hard and everyone involved definitely knocked this one out of the park
This year's opening ceremony has been the best one so far especially the middle where the spike was planted
This is my first time watching a Valorant final. Everything was so well done and much better than I expected! I liked it more than the last LoL's ceremonies
The ult effect of Sova in Re-ignition gave me real goosebumps🤩
timestamp?
@@JamaisVu473:07
2023 was so good that i can't even watch the 2024 for 5 min... why is the stadium for world champion 2024 so damn small riot ?..
I ask myself the same the same question lmao
For a first "real" opening ceremony, that was really awesome !!
LETS GO ERIC
emei and jazz, attacker vs defender..... god i love riot opening ceremonies 😭😭😭✨✨✨
Thank youuu 🫣🫣

what an epic stage.
also holy moly grabbitz KILLED those vocals!
I LOVE U GRABBITZ COOL PERFORMANCE!!
damn how well made the whole valorant franchise is.. so much passion and well thought it is, just love =)
OMG IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY's VOICE !!! 6:15 GIVES ME CHILLS! NO ON IS BETTER THAN HIM HE HAS THE BEST NOSTALGIA FOR ME IN VALORANT!!!
Well, the whole song is just a banger ngl
They did amazing!!! Grabbitz voice is just amazing!! They did so, so good!!
Please post the Ignition remix!!! Was so good with the vocals!
Me rewatching every week, it was just fire
Everyone performing was so good
Let’s go Eric
i dont even play or watch valorant but this was a joy to watch. Riot always brings the heat when it comes to musical performances in esports.
2023 VALORANT Champions Opening Ceremony Performance is the best ceremony i ever watch
5:41, this moment just gave me goosebump
The start from 'Die for you' gave me goosebumps and reminded me what a banger of a song it was but was never performed in an opening ceremony with a live audience.
4:45 favorite part
This was the best Opening Ceremony i have i saw so far.
sooo goooooood.... gave me goosebumps when boom bot exploded
The added valorant snippets during it was gold. I got emotional haha
6:15 Literally Goosebumps ❤🔥♥
やっぱり生歌カッコ良すぎる
broooo only 1M views?
it's better than opening ceremony World Championship 2023.
I wonder what it feels witnessing this inside the arena 🔥
I wasn't there but such things always hit so different in person
It was electric
It was crazy, you could feel the heat from the pyrotechnics and the bass in your chest
I am still upset I missed the ceremony because they implemented a new bag rule on finals day that wasn't there the 2 days before. You had to check in ur bag by waiting in a 45 minute line.
this is the coolest thing that has ever happened for a video game, brings tears to my eyes jesus
MY KING ERIC DOA
the fact that Valorant got BBno$ to perform at VCT is truly amazing
this is much simpler but way better than worlds 2023
ikr
The feeling i had while watching this at 2am on the stream was surreal.
9:20 Pansy’s reaction here gives me goosebumps every time
icb it's been a year already
one of the best ceremonies
2023 oc >>> 2024 oc
Better songs, better performances, no autotune, no too much lipsync... 🤷
Well that's actually the opposite. 2023 had much more autotune and lipsync compared to 2024. But that's not a bad thing either way.
@@VaMage "suuuure" 😂😂😂
@@gduarte2999 These are very easy to spot, not sure why you're even trying to deny that.

CHILLS
4:10
Me: DUDE ,stop dancing and defuse this shi*
Love this song so much
the entire production crew went hard with this one, absolutely obsessed with the abilities effects
this was insane to watch. wish i couldve been there live!
awesome ceremony!! wish i was there
Congrats on 1M views🎉
Such a great year for valorant ❤
riot really know how to put banger show not only great match, the narration of villain vs heroes, the opening show is also something
06:15 Best
Cant wait for VCT 2024
