I think ppl reacted the same way when Gods for league of legends released. Ppl did not like it originally and it grew on them by grand finals and ppl were insanely hyped

@@dantealighieri3307Animation and story telling are different. Riot’s animation is always pretty good but the storytelling is what you are talking about when comparing the 2023 video to the 2024. Which I agree on, I LOVED the story telling for the 2023 video “Ticking Away” so much it’s like my all time favorite valorant champs music video along with the song being pretty great. All i’m saying that this commenter is talking about the art in the video rather than the storytelling and how Riot is always pretty top notch in thier animations.
The song is pretty generic. I really liked some parts but mostly due to the instrumentals. Keep in mind that GRABBITZ made THREE champions songs for us that guy is the goat. 2021 die for you; 2022 fire again (co-writer and producer); 2023 ticking away.
yeah maybe riot wanted to try something different, within champs in kr doing kpop song, but grabbitz is goated frfr, I hope the live performence in final not just goddamn lipsync shit, will ruin the hype with dance no sing at all
@@CouchPotatoCrusader Well obviously, it just doesn't have to be a boring and generic kpop song lmao. I listen to plenty of kpop including kissoflife who the two girl singers belong to. Let me tell you they have banger songs in that group so I know that this could've been better.
@@whotao6754 kpop isn't new for riot games or even valorant specifically. Also lipsync doesn't ruin any hype if you don't notice it, although I'm not aware of any artists doing any lipsync for any riot events.
Mark tuan is taiwanese american , main rapper of the kpop group got7 , work as a american solo artist now, have a marvel movie ost, works with ysl, calvin klein , samsung mobile , bvlgari thailand , and many more...
I'm Korean, but I like Valorant and I think the 2023 song is the best, but the 2024 song lacks that kind of impact or grandeur. I don't think the song has that Champions feelings
I think its like the Lil Nas X Worlds song. Amazing song overall. But will never be able to compete with other songs like Rise Warriors etc. Its just didnt have that Worlds finals tournament vibe to it
@@yourstruly2232 If win with a narrative that fits this song, the finished song may give you a new feeling. So i wonder which team will create a narrative worthy of this song.
i mean people forget the audience who will be watching it live is korean... imagine a muted crowd with no hype if the artist is unknown for the korean audience ... songs should be based on where the champs is held in.
aint no one was hating on ticking away, it was fire away. this one is different but it has no champions vibe, sounds like a normal kpop song. u right tho this might grow on us but first impression its kinda mid
This proof people makes Die for you overrated Every single new champs anthem drops they gonna start yap about next year music does not live to their expectations I personally liked this one like every other ones Every champs anthem is a banger
I believe there are no bad songs; all are well-crafted and structured in their own way. Some have a nostalgic vibe, while others feel more modern. Comparing them is difficult because everyone's tastes are different.
It sounds like there is no soul behind it, like it was made in a lab using science and math. Whereas comparing them to Die for You and Ticking Away, those songs almost tell a story, especially the music videos. It makes them feel like they carry weight and meaning, like something actually matters. Then you watch Superpower and it’s a typical kpop song with a basic rap segment, that overall is easily forgettable. Even the music video doesn’t elicit the same emotional stakes the other videos do, and perhaps it’s because the music video has no story to it, making it feel like a bunch of jumbled nonsense. This song definitely won’t have the same longevity that past songs have. The animation is always on point tho
Nah this generic AF (so much so that I predicted every section 5 seconds before each transition), but so was the last 2. You could very easily hear the formula that valorant and grabbitz was going for.
@@Hatelover89 I think anthems generally have that epic feel and sound but this just doesn't deliver that, it feels like a regular pop song with nothing special (worse without the video)
@@pavithrannehru5836 it’s so crystal clear that you don’t like them or in general you don’t like kpop bcs it’s so easy to make out that this anthem is such a great song, even without video the beats and music is so damn interesting. It’s ok I understand why you don’t like it.
I feel like its too "just hype", no storytelling in the music nor animation. Its a decent song in itself melodically, but theres just no buildup or climax, its too flat.
Like Tarik said, the second half was kinda "over the place". The Korean rap, the chorus, the male vocal; it sounds messy when clashed all into one line (i'm not a musician so the way I described could be weird)
I mean they couldve given more players more air time and given tenz aspas demon1 a longer clip but fkit lets give boaster and kangkang 5-6 appearances.
For me it's crazy how the best player in the world currently didn't receive a more specific tribute in the video... I can't tell if it's aspas in the video, and if it is, it doesn't even seem like it CRAZY
a different one but still a generic song, no flow switch ups, no emotional weight, just static "hype" and mid composition, reason why people loved Die For You and Ticking Away was because the energy was constantly rising upwards with reasonable down time to make the chorus hit harder while also having a consistent overall narrative that compliments the story of the animation. If u want better korean rap music, just watch League's MV's cause this 2024 anthem is very niche in taste and imo dissapointing, it doesn't help that people don't know korean so whatever lesson this song was trying to give will be harder to understand because of a language barrier and the fact that the MV itself was just a animation hype montage of players and outplays without a actual story unlike Die For You and Ticking Away. anyway still a good song that just doesn't fit in Champions and all quite all over the place.
champs 2021 and 2022 had such a good song because grabbitz knows how to properly build up and swell an anthem, like something that's actually gonna be bumped at a tournament to get the crowd feeling the energy, 2024 legit just felt like riot hiring a popular kpop group to make a "hype song" and call it a day, the video SLAPS obviously, but this feels more like just a hype song and not an anthem, yk?? it's odd to put it to words.
ticking away is still the best i'm pretty sure the new one won't grow on us, they literally made a kpop song and called it a vct theme, it doesn't feel like a val song at all
I said this earlier to a buddy. This years song was the equivalent to Lil nas x starwalker for League of Legends worlds. It was an okay song, but it missed the mark when it came to the vibe of THE world tournament to end the season.
Pretty much, and when that’s intrinsically tied to the song when it doesn’t meet that expectation it makes it very lack luster. It’s fine, but am I gonna jam it the same way I do with Die for You and Ticking Away? Nope.
That’s all you have to do to realize that this one just doesn’t hit. You listen to the other songs and you’re ready to run through a brick wall and then I hear this and I’m like “Good gym song I guess”
@@zam4745 kpop could be a bunch of different genres so saying its generic kpop just cause a kpop group is on it does nothing to criticize the song unless u dont like kpop
The song is great and all but IMO the animation went a little too much for too many dumbasses like myself to get it - like the story telling im so lost - and as for the song itself it would have been quite important that they added english subs on the video release. They still dont have english subs so how am i suppose to understand what they are saying. Its a bop tho
NO reason? Lmao. It wouldn't have this many negative comments if it actually met expectations. We need a Champions theme, not some generic song. It's not about it being a Korean song either-I have plenty of Korean songs in my playlist, and this is just so mid for a song meant to hype up a crowd on Champions Day. Even Koreans find this mid. Maybe you just need to clean your ears every once in a while because if you actually think this is good, please never make a playlist for anyone ever again. 😂
I love both Mark & KIOF, but I'll admit that this song is terrible for an official anthem. It's actually a pretty good song overall, but holy hell this is not gonna get people hype for a major tournament, especially after the last few. I know they wanted korean artists given that it's in Seoul, but XG would've done a billion times better even though they aren't technically a korean group.
Fire Again just gettin wrecked again XD, I kinda like the Song tho. Not the Best ofc. My top List is and remains: 1.Die for you 2.Ticking away 3. Fire again 4. Superpower
Seriously, the song is not bad but its not fully fits with 'Anthem' of Champions. Honestly, the Jett song 'Can't slow me down' is much better for Champions 'Seoul'
As an individual Kpop song: yes, acceptable, sounds fine enough As a Champions anthem song: NOPE! DEFINITELY NOT The MV animations are still great as always but the storyline is lacking or not impactful enough

It's ass
W song w kiss of life
W song, i think it's a good mix between the usual champs themes and a kpop style since champs is in seoul

BANGER!!!!!!
They had so many options for so many other groups that would make an insane dance or song
So this means that we'll be hearing this song as the finisher on the Champs 2024 gun... I don't know what to feel about it tbh.
The instrumental is cool tho
last 3 champions song gave me goosebumps but this 2024 doesn't

Ticking away is the best cuz the BGM goes hard af
Champs 2023 in a whole will just always be nostalgic
league's music clears val's

Mid song but best animation so far

It’s crazy to me that Pacific put out a more hype song for their playoffs than Riot did for Champs.
undefeated goated
I'm sad that I missed the 2023 vandal, Ticking Away might be my favorite.
Best Soundtrack in Riot's games is WARRIORS by Imagine Dragons, second is TICKING AWAY by Grabbitz.
Gets better with every listen I’m afraid
For a Music Company, Riots makes pretty good games.
ticking away is the best one out of them
ik ppl arent a fan of this but ill be real the more i listen the more i like it
champions 2024 song is slept on ngl
I mean they couldve given more players more air time and given tenz aspas demon1 a longer clip but fkit lets give boaster and kangkang 5-6 appearances.
As far as I know this is because the production of the video started least year so they had to base it off of clips from that time.
For me it's crazy how the best player in the world currently didn't receive a more specific tribute in the video... I can't tell if it's aspas in the video, and if it is, it doesn't even seem like it

It's just the chord progression especially in the chorus is not doing it for me. The aggressive trumpet notes was sure nice though.
