The history in this video is about korean player Deft and his journey throughout Worlds (biggest tournament in League that brings together teams from all over the world) and his desired victory in Worlds 2022. It starts with the image of him going to the same high school as Faker (literally GOAT of the League of Legends), Mapo High School in Seoul. Then we switch to the moment when he first starts grinding and getting better in league, thats also his rookie year in the team called MVP Blue (the golem he fights with is also called blue, that's a quite accurate reference) meanwhile in the background Faker attemps to kill baron and take his first Worlds trophy (in 2013). Next scene, when Deft is on the stage playing tournament in the colors of Samsung Blue team we see the fight between him on Lucian and PawN (his former teammate from team Samsung Blue) on Jayce. This is a reproduction of the situation from the match when the Samsung Blue and Samsung White teams clashed. PawN killed him in the same way as we can see in the video. That's his first defeat at Worlds in semi-finals. Deft leaves Korea and seeks for adventure in China. He joined Edward Gaming (EDG) in 2014. Guy sitting next to him is Meiko, EDG support. He plays in that team since today. In the video we can see them getting attacked by Rekkles, former ADC of Fnatic (currently sub support). Fnatic were fighting against them in quarter-final match and won with 3-0 score. That was 2nd time Deft got denied at Worlds. The moment when he pushes himself away from the desk and these fireballs flies around him represents his another fails to attemp and win Worlds (2016 lost in the quarters against ROX Tigers, 2017 in the new team - KT Rolster - failed to qualify, 2018 lost in the quarterfinals against IG [upcoming winner of Worlds 2018] and 2019 in the new team - King-zone DragonX - failed to qualify) Another team switch, this time Deft joins DRX. This time we see him fighting alongside his former teammate Doran (currently playing for Gen.G) against Dplus KIA Canyon (guy presented as Graves) and Showmaker (guy presented as Syndra). As Showmaker tries to attack Deft, Keria (currently support for T1 but played with Deft in the same team at that time) shows up, looks at him sadly and sacrafices himself so he can survive. But despite this he still falls and gets killed. That's another hit for Deft as he gets eliminated from Worlds 2020. 2021 he got eliminated in the quarterfinals once again when his new team, Hanwha Life Esport lost to T1 3-0. Deft after then became 1st player to play in 5 World Championships in 5 different teams. When he is undernath ice, he starts crying. At that time he thought that was his last chance of achieving something at Worlds, that he wouldn't have another one because he tried so many times and yet he still wasn't able to win. But it was about to change in 2022. That was the year when he and team of underdogs did something incredible, something that probably isn't gonna be repeated ever again. He gets lifted with his team on the platform to get in the arena and fight their way to the trophy. First, he fights EDG and his former teammate on support, Meiko. The game he played on Draven was actually game 3 when they were already losing 2-0 and did reverse sweep to finish with 2-3 and take the series. Next fight as before was against his former teammate Doran as Renekton. It was actually game 4 when Deft was playing Varus and that ended the series for DRX with 3-1 score. At the end there was a final boss, T1. With his former teammate Keria and classmate Faker. It was one of the best series that were played in this tournament and with the final roster on DRX with Aatrox, Hecarim, Azir, Caitlyn and Bard they made it and finished their underdog run with 3-2 score. Deft was finally happy and lifted his desired trophy. That was long but i hope i covered everythight that was unclear for people new in the League of Legends esport :)
Thank you for sharing this. I already knew a little bit about the last finals and the 'drama' surrounding DRX, but this definitely helps me understand the visuals and entire MV better :)
Vocal Gods, honestly it does show that they can do different genres, and I'd love to see them do it, they all sounded increadible, I'm so proud of them for getting this gig, I hope it boosts their reach and influence and gets them noticed more. In addition, I'd love to see them put out a full album like this, similar to what KDA did. Also, a full English Album is a must at some point.
It hits even more when you know the story. Chills, the protagonist in the mv is deft, a veteran gamer who went to the same high school as faker, regarded as the best lol player in its history, they both started their pro careers in a similar way and time but deft was always stuck as an underdog. Despite winning many titles, he always lost in quarterfinals in many worlds, for almost 8 years if I remember correctly. But last year, he completed a miracle run in drx, the first team in worlds history to win the championship from the play ins and as the forth seed, he fought many of his old team mates like meiko, chovy...and keria. Keria debuted in drx and promised deft back in 2020 that he would give him a worlds title, he eventually did, but on the rival team during the finals, T1, alongside faker. Deft was also considering his retirement after 2022 because he had to complete his military service and that worlds was regarded as his “last dance”.Unexpectedly, drx rose through the tournament and took the 2022 worlds title home. Deft, finally breaking his curse and winning a long awaited worlds title. Literally an anime story that has been unfolding for almost a decade. It’s so emotional and inspiring to see someone who worked for so long and failed so many times accomplish his dreams in real life. I’m not a lol player but this story has inspired me so much, “the most important thing is the unbreakable heart”.
Though I'm not a LOL player, and not a newjeans' fan, neither. But the vocal and the MV animations is so perfect. I'm so enjoying in your video and reactions, too.
