finally i was waiting for your reaction thank you!! :) i want to tell you that this is the retelling of the official games over 10 years of this main character called Deft, and how he kept losing before winning worlds 2022. all the fight scenes are mimicking the exact way how he was fighting ingame in Worlds and how he fought against his former teammates, like the slow-mo shot where his support with a big shield called Keria sacrificed himself for him and then you see them battling in the end which represents worlds finals last year alongside Faker and how with the help of his team members (DRX) won the championship. btw he was planning to retire but ended up by him winning his 1st time ever worlds title.
The music video retells Deft (main character, real life player)'s story in League. He went to the same high school as Faker (the pretty much undisputed best player of all time in LoL), yet Faker was always ahead of him for the past 10 years. In 2013 Faker won Worlds as a rookie whilst Deft failed to qualify, and the video shows Deft's history with being eliminated by different teams throughout the years. It also shows his teammates during those teams he played on, Meiko on EDG, Doran and Keria on DRX. At the end of the video we follow Deft's Worlds run from last year, where to FINALLY win a championship after 10 years of playing competitively he had to BEAT his former teammates, Meiko, Doran and Keria, even Faker himself, his "in real life" rival from high school, the GOAT of League, it really came full circle. The storyline of Deft last year felt so poetic, like it was written in a script, his team DRX was the 4th seed from Korea and basically no one expected them to even make it past the group stage, and then they exceeded expectations and won the whole thing. As a Deft fan for 8 years it felt so nice seeing him finally win the championship, he's been fighting so hard and struggling so much, he was even planning on retiring but gave it one last chance and then he ended up winning it. He would always be eliminated in the quarterfinals, so when he made it past the quarters last year he was crying. He also cried after winning it all. For the song itself I really enjoy it! Some people don't see it as being on the same level as some older songs like RISE, Legends Never Die etc. Which yeah I can agree on, but I think GODS is really one of my top 3 or 4 Worlds songs. I really enjoy it and I can't wait for the world finals opening ceremony!
Video is the epic underdog story of the last worlds. The main character (Deft) had to fight former team-mates along the way to winning the finals. Debuted around the same time of Faker'so his journey has been long.
“Heart, unbreakable” 😢 Apparently Deft said he has an “unbreakable heart” when asked about the many losses at WORLDS over the last 10 years. Or something like that? I am new to all this and I wanna cry.
This follows the story of Deft, a korean professional League player The video starts with him on 2012, and when he's in class, he's looking at Faker, the guy with the round glasses. Faker and Deft went to the same higschool in real life and they both debuted as professional players on 2013. Deft was good at the game, but Faker was crazy good. He was a prodigy yet to be discovered Later, Deft is playing League and he's fighting a Blue Sentinel, a mid difficulty monster that spawns in a certain place in the League map. Then he looks at the huge Baron Nashor. The Baron Nashor is an epic monster that spawns in the map only after it's 20 minutes into the game, and it's hard to defeat. Usually, at least 3 players are needed to kill it in game. And the one fighting Baron Nashor is, again, Faker. The fact that Deft is fighting just a blue sentinel while Faker is fighting Baron Nashor depicts the level difference between them. When they both debuted on 2013, Deft had an "average" season. He was not bad but he was not super good either. However, Faker carried his team, T1, to win his first Worlds title on his maiden season and he quickly became the best player in the world. At this point, for Deft, Faker was the guy looking from above, the player he aspired to become. We fast forward to 2014. Back then, in the Korean professional league, organisations were allowed to have 2 sister teams playing in the same competition. Samsung had 2 teams: Samsung Blue and Samsung White. From the 2, SS Blue, Deft's team, was considered to be slightly better. In the end, both teams reached Worlds 2014 semifinals. SS Blue was expected to win. Here we see Pawn, one of SS White's players. He played in SS Blue for some time in 2013, so he used to be Deft's teammate, until Pawn was moved to SS White. SSW won the series at the end, kicking Deft's SSB out. SSW actually won Worlds later. We go to 2015. Deft moves to a Chinese team called Edward Gaming, or EDG for short. Just in case you haven't ever played League, there are 2 team roles, "AD Carry" and "Support", that spend a lot of time together and always have really good sinergy. Deft plays as ADC, and his support on EDG was Meiko, Deft's teammate with the green lantern in the video. Every season, before Worlds, there is another international competition, the Mid Season Invitational, in which the best team from each league up to that point of the season plays. It is less important than Worlds but it's still pretty important. Deft's EDG won MSI 2015, so at the start of Worlds 2015 they were considered to be the best team in the world. In Worlds quarterfinals, EDG was against Fnatic, an European team. Asian teams have always been better than European teams through the history of professional League, so nobody expected FNC to defeat EDG. Also, FNC that year had a very unusual strategy in which Rekkles, FNC's ADC, the blonde guy with the electric shurikens in the video, played a character that wasn't used as ADC frequently (that character is Kennen, an electric ninja with the same powers as Rekkles in the video), so the fact that EDG lost to FNC in that way was a little bit humilliating considering what was expected from EDG that year. Then we see Deft in his chair getting hit by lots of things, because between 2016 and 2019 he just couldn't get past Worlds quarterfinals and was knocked out from the competition again and again. It was like a curse at this point. Then we see 2020. Deft now plays for korean team DRX. We see one of his teammates, Doran, who is defeated by the player Canyon. DRX were up against Damwon Gaming, a team that was unstoppable that year. Showmaker, another Damwon player, shows up with the dark magic superpowers from the character Syndra and attacks Deft. Then, Keria shows up. Keria was Deft's support that year. It was Keria's first year as the main support for DRX's main team. Keria and Deft had a very cute friendship and like a wholesome master-apprentice companionship. He knew about Deft's 7 year struggle to win Worlds, so in an interview, he had promised Deft they would win Worlds together. That's why Keria sacrifices himself for Deft in such a dramatic way in the video. Damwon kick DRX out of Worlds. Deft loses at quarterfinals once again. Damwon ended up winning Worlds 2020 later. Keria had had a very promising first season as support, so he received an offer no one can reject. An offer to play for T1. T1 is Faker's team (the guy from Deft's higschool). It is the best team in the history of League. And Faker is League's GOAT. Nobody can say no to such an offer. So Keria moved to T1 after not fulfilling the promise he made to Deft. Deft moved to another korean team in 2021, Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), where he was once again kicked out of Worlds in quarterfinals (not shown in the video). The team that wins Worlds 2021 is his former chinese team EDG, with his friend and former support Meiko still playing there. In 2022 Deft goes back to DRX. They were kinda weak at the start of the season so Deft thinks it's over. He thinks he will never win Worlds, as he has to retire at the end of the year. As you probably know, Korean young men have to join the army for some time. Deft could not delay it for longer. He would have to retire from League and join the military. Surprisingly, DRX manage to qualify for Worlds Play In, a pre-event from which 4 teams qualified to Worlds, from a pool of 10 teams (I don't remember exactly how many) from all the leagues in the world. DRX get past Play In stage and qualify for Worlds, and then they make it to quarterfinals. No one expects much from them, however, as Play In teams had never made it too far in Worlds. That's why in the video, when Deft's teammates pick him up from the depths, they enter the stage from below with an elevator. They are the underdogs. To make it worse, in quarterfinals they had to face the title holders, EDG. Deft has to face Meiko, and as seen on the video, he wins. It was the most epic comeback in the history of League. Deft finally breaks his quarterfinals curse and makes it to semifinals. There, it's DRX vs Gen G. Deft has to face another one of his former teammates, Doran. In the final game of semifinals, Doran was playing really well, and it looked like he was going to carry his team into winning. That's why he's a giant in the video. However, DRX managed to win, and they qualified for the finals. And they had to face T1. Where Keria plays. It's the irony of destiny. Keria promised Deft they would win Worlds together and they end up having to defeat each other to win the title 2 years later. When Deft is about to shoot Keria, Faker shows up. Even more irony. Imagine being Deft at this point. When you are finally close to winning Worlds after almost 10 years, you have to play against that one guy. That one guy from highschool who was always ahead of you. I like the particular shot when Faker takes Deft down both Faker and Keria stand there, about to kill him. Keria was like Deft's younger brother, but he switched sides and now he has a new evil master (Faker is not evil, of course, but in this story it kinda looks like he is, and I love how they made it so dramatic xD). When it looks like it's over, Deft's team appears to save him and they win Worlds together. The scenes of Deft celebrating with his team are just the same as in the live broadcast. It doesn't appear here, but after losing, T1's players were all devastated. But one of them looked more broken than the others. Keria. He was crying and shaking. It could be that he's just more connected to his emotions than his teammates, but it almost looks like he's... Regretful. He left DRX to pursue glory, and now he's lost against his former team, in which 2 of his former teammates, Deft and Pyosik, still play. After a series, in league, players from the winning team always approach the losing team to salute them one by one and show respect and sportsmanship. Deft and Pyosik both hugged Keria. Pyosik almost cried. I cried too when I was watching it. It was so impactful. This narrative from last year was so epic, like a story from fiction. It's thanks to things like this that I love League's competitive scene. In the end, thanks to the fact that he won Worlds, Deft actually managed to delay joining military service for one more year. He plays for Dplus now (team formerly known as Damwon, 2020 Worlds champions) and they qualified for Worlds again. They are not expected to win due to their performance on the korean league, but... Who knows. DRX were not expected to win last year either
years ago I found u through ur first league reactions. this channel grew so much since then. and honestly, I don't watch most of ur videos - but every year I religiously come back to see ur LoL anthem reaction. in this crazy world we live in I love to know there's something permanent.)
My girls NewJeans! The rest of their music is the complete opposite of what this song is and I'm so impressed with their versatility. The animatic is great, I love that they gave us a whole story this time.
The music video portrays a pro player named Deft and his journey into becoming the Worlds Champion. In the first part, he went to the same high school with Faker, who achieved glory early on in his career and won 3 World Championships (seen as him slaying the bigger monster 'Baron') The next few scenarios are him trying to win the championship with some of his former teammates • In 2014, he was knocked out by Samsung White (Pawn who holds a long hammer) in Semis • In 2015, He and his former teammate Meiko (the one with lantern) was knocked out by Fnatic (Rekkles with Electic shurikens) at quarterfinals • He then goes fast forward getting barraged by attacks as he gets kicked out multiple times (2016 - Quarterfinals, 2018 - Quarterfinals) • He was knocked out from Quarterfinals in 2020 too with his former teammate Keria (with the shield) who promised him they will win the trophy (They lost to eventual champions Damwon Gaming) • Deft was thrown down deep and his new squad raised him up as they rise from the bottom as the underdog who had to fight through play-ins up to Finals. • He meets his former teammate Meiko in Quarterfinals in a reverse sweep with his Draven (spinning axe) • He also meets his former teammate Doran (giant) • He finally meets Keria again, but as an enemy in the Grand Finals, with Faker, the undisputed GOAT and whom he went to the same high school with. • Deft's team is shown in their final picks in the final game of Worlds that led them to their trophy (The Trophy Deft has been chasing since 2013) Trivia: 2022 League of Legends Worlds Championship Finals received Sports Emmys for "Esports Championship Coverage" for the Cinderella run made by this team. (twitter.com/sportsemmys/status/1660801508479471616?t=f5RiXWri5tpswsnXQ6XwQw&s=19)
The whole video hit different when I found out they were telling the story of a pro player over the years. The piccolo defense the guy did actually happened in a match, his teammate jumped in front of an attack for him. The story telling is A1
the guy with the shield(Keria) his teammate. Keria actually promised the main guy that he would take him to the world championship and win it. but they failed. then years later they went seperate ways and met eachother in the finals, hence the final fight. it is as anime as it gets.
@@neilpanganiban272Keria promised Deft(the main character of the video) that he would win a world championship and in the end...he did, a true support right there
Scru TYL the video is animated very well and thats facts, but the visuals are based off on all the old competition that the protagonist (Deft a korean pro player) had partecipated (worlds) and he was inspired by the strongest player that is around, and last year he finally won worlds
The new worlds song is by far my favorite tbh, and you gave one hell of a reaction for it :D Also, idk if you saw, but Zach Boucher just dropped a new song, you should check it out!
Love your videos scru! To add some context to the video itself, it's telling the story of a player named Deft who's been at the top or near the top of the game for the last decade, but unfortunately he was always kind of really unlucky in his career. Many of his teams either choked, had something unfortunate happen at the wrong time, or just was barely not good enough to win the championship. Most of the video showcases his career with his different teams, and their moments of failure. Then in the end sequence we see his 2022 team, DRX rise from the bottom to fight through the world championship and Deft has to take out my of his own former teammates to reach the end. The guy who he was standing over was the same guy who saved him earlier in the video with the shield, but they are now on different teams and had to play against each other. It's a really epic story of one of the games best players, and truly one of it's most hard done by in terms of trophies won for how GOOD he actually has been.
To add to this, no World championship run in League of Legends will ever look like Deft and DRX's run from 2022 ever again, only the second ever reverse sweep in worlds and it happens in the Semi Finals, they started in Play-ins stage, first team ever from play ins stage to make to Finals(and i believe semi finals) and the first team ever to win the world championship starting from Play in's as their region's **4th** Seed team, and no run will ever have the Legends and Story behind it the way 2022 worlds did Keria(the guy the the shield and who was down being aimed at at the end) once said to Deft "Ill get you to worlds, ill win you a world championship" and when Deft is finally in the finals, its against Keria, and also, his former Classmate, Faker who they both debuted in league around the same time.
A lot of these lol theme song are sang by kpop artist - girl group. This time its new jeans. A lot of them are around 17-18 years old. Its sang in english but new jeans are a korean girl group hence kpop. Kpop artist will always do hardcore dance choreography while singing. All kpop groups
"They got story lines in the music too" I know u dont know, but that whole video and song is about one of the most iconic rival pro players in league and tell the story of one of them.
Everyone's mentioned this is showing Defts story. For Scru some big points are in the school scene the guy with the glasses is Faker, they went to highschool together, and the dude with the robot arm that interrupted him shooting the guy at the end was also Faker. The guy he was going to shoot is Kiera, who was also the guy who had earlier saved him with the shield.
Caedrel(one of the casters in the LEC rap battles you reacted to before) did a rap song about his favourite player TheShy titled "THESHY IS BACK | WORLDS 2023 | CAEDREL FT. REGAN |". Its pretty league specifc tho although its cool how he improved himself from the rap battle video. Would be cool seeing your reaction to that. Cant wait for the swiss stage of the world championships.
Any character that floats down into the darkness like that always remind me of the Naruto Shippuden opening "Diver". SFJ, if you're reading this comment, I hope you consider reaction to that music video from the anime Naruto Shippuden.
I'm not sure if you know or not, only because I didn't hear you mention it. But they animators have animated the actual irl players into the videos. 10/10 animation.
hey scru just responding to whatu said they definitely have narratives because the music video is based off Deft (a pro player) and his journey to winning the world championship after a long career
Have you watched Paranoia yet? It's a new song by a boy group of League characters called Heartsteel, like K/DA but with guys. I think it's a banger and I'm really curious to see what you'll think of it :D
The story is about deft. He went to the same school as faker as a kid. Faker is widely regarded as the goat of league, so Deft was constantly in his shadow. Faker basically was king of league right when he started and dominated everyone for years. Deft had gotten first place at MSI (mid season international tournament) Lck (korean pro league) and LPL (Chinese pro league), but never could win worlds. He was very good, but seen as someone who just couldn’t cut it at worlds. He’s shown losing to an eu player named Rekkles at worlds, and losing to a korean player named Showmaker at worlds. The showmaker loss was shown as being more devastating to deft, because that series wasn’t close. I think it’s also when a lot of people started losing almost all faith Deft would ever win worlds. In 2022, Deft seriously considered retiring. His team got into worlds as the 4th seed of korea. Basically they were seeded as the weakest team from Korea. They ran the gauntlet all the way from play ins to world finals. Deft overcame many former opponents and teammates to make it to finals against Faker. They won in game 5 and Deft finally got the worlds 1st place that eluded him for years. It was poetic justice too that he got it against the person who’s shadow he’d been stuck in. It was basically a stereotypical underdog story you see in movies, but it actually happened in real life. The teammate who jumped in front of him against showmaker is one of his opponents at the very end too.
Yo Man . This whole animation is about Deft lasy year champion and his long 10 years road to be a champion .all his opponents are from real game he played in the past against certain people a lot of Easter eggs
finally i was waiting for your reaction thank you!! :) i want to tell you that this is the retelling of the official games over 10 years of this main character called Deft, and how he kept losing before winning worlds 2022. all the fight scenes are mimicking the exact way how he was fighting ingame in Worlds and how he fought against his former teammates, like the slow-mo shot where his support with a big shield called Keria sacrificed himself for him and then you see them battling in the end which represents worlds finals last year alongside Faker and how with the help of his team members (DRX) won the championship. btw he was planning to retire but ended up by him winning his 1st time ever worlds title.
Nerd
It was so fire
To this day ill never believe a more scripted story than this by that I mean its amazing how things turned out
I don’t watch or play league but this made the video and song hit even harder
The fact that I understand half of this just by watching vd tell how good the story telling elements is
The music video retells Deft (main character, real life player)'s story in League. He went to the same high school as Faker (the pretty much undisputed best player of all time in LoL), yet Faker was always ahead of him for the past 10 years. In 2013 Faker won Worlds as a rookie whilst Deft failed to qualify, and the video shows Deft's history with being eliminated by different teams throughout the years. It also shows his teammates during those teams he played on, Meiko on EDG, Doran and Keria on DRX.
At the end of the video we follow Deft's Worlds run from last year, where to FINALLY win a championship after 10 years of playing competitively he had to BEAT his former teammates, Meiko, Doran and Keria, even Faker himself, his "in real life" rival from high school, the GOAT of League, it really came full circle.

For the song itself I really enjoy it! Some people don't see it as being on the same level as some older songs like RISE, Legends Never Die etc. Which yeah I can agree on, but I think GODS is really one of my top 3 or 4 Worlds songs. I really enjoy it and I can't wait for the world finals opening ceremony!
Video is the epic underdog story of the last worlds. The main character (Deft) had to fight former team-mates along the way to winning the finals. Debuted around the same time of Faker'so his journey has been long.
Didnt just debute around the same time, they went to highschool together
don't forget about the fact that his birthday is during worlds
“Heart, unbreakable” 😢 Apparently Deft said he has an “unbreakable heart” when asked about the many losses at WORLDS over the last 10 years. Or something like that? I am new to all this and I wanna cry.

Then we see 2020. Deft now plays for korean team DRX. We see one of his teammates, Doran, who is defeated by the player Canyon. DRX were up against Damwon Gaming, a team that was unstoppable that year. Showmaker, another Damwon player, shows up with the dark magic superpowers from the character Syndra and attacks Deft. Then, Keria shows up.
Keria was Deft's support that year. It was Keria's first year as the main support for DRX's main team. Keria and Deft had a very cute friendship and like a wholesome master-apprentice companionship.

My girls NewJeans! The rest of their music is the complete opposite of what this song is and I'm so impressed with their versatility. The animatic is great, I love that they gave us a whole story this time.
New Jeans are on top in the KPOP game right now I dont know if you keep up with that stuff still.
The music video portrays a pro player named Deft and his journey into becoming the Worlds Champion.
In the first part, he went to the same high school with Faker, who achieved glory early on in his career and won 3 World Championships (seen as him slaying the bigger monster 'Baron')
The next few scenarios are him trying to win the championship with some of his former teammates
• In 2014, he was knocked out by Samsung White (Pawn who holds a long hammer) in Semis
• In 2015, He and his former teammate Meiko (the one with lantern) was knocked out by Fnatic (Rekkles with Electic shurikens) at quarterfinals
• He then goes fast forward getting barraged by attacks as he gets kicked out multiple times (2016 - Quarterfinals, 2018 - Quarterfinals)
• He was knocked out from Quarterfinals in 2020 too with his former teammate Keria (with the shield) who promised him they will win the trophy (They lost to eventual champions Damwon Gaming)
• Deft was thrown down deep and his new squad raised him up as they rise from the bottom as the underdog who had to fight through play-ins up to Finals.
• He meets his former teammate Meiko in Quarterfinals in a reverse sweep with his Draven (spinning axe)
• He also meets his former teammate Doran (giant)
• He finally meets Keria again, but as an enemy in the Grand Finals, with Faker, the undisputed GOAT and whom he went to the same high school with.
• Deft's team is shown in their final picks in the final game of Worlds that led them to their trophy (The Trophy Deft has been chasing since 2013)
Trivia: 2022 League of Legends Worlds Championship Finals received Sports Emmys for "Esports Championship Coverage" for the Cinderella run made by this team. (twitter.com/sportsemmys/status/1660801508479471616?t=f5RiXWri5tpswsnXQ6XwQw&s=19)
New league of legends music was released!! Heart steel
The whole video hit different when I found out they were telling the story of a pro player over the years. The piccolo defense the guy did actually happened in a match, his teammate jumped in front of an attack for him. The story telling is A1
the guy with the shield(Keria) his teammate. Keria actually promised the main guy that he would take him to the world championship and win it. but they failed. then years later they went seperate ways and met eachother in the finals, hence the final fight. it is as anime as it gets.

Scru u almost at a million subscribers. It been a long journey that aint over keep it up we all want u to succeed for u and ur kid
YAAASSS! Been waiting for you to react to this one!!☝🏻
Scru TYL the video is animated very well and thats facts, but the visuals are based off on all the old competition that the protagonist (Deft a korean pro player) had partecipated (worlds) and he was inspired by the strongest player that is around, and last year he finally won worlds
Been waiting for you to see this one!
The new worlds song is by far my favorite tbh, and you gave one hell of a reaction for it :D Also, idk if you saw, but Zach Boucher just dropped a new song, you should check it out!
Finally👌🏼 i was waiting for this since it dropped 😏
Love your videos scru! To add some context to the video itself, it's telling the story of a player named Deft who's been at the top or near the top of the game for the last decade, but unfortunately he was always kind of really unlucky in his career. Many of his teams either choked, had something unfortunate happen at the wrong time, or just was barely not good enough to win the championship. Most of the video showcases his career with his different teams, and their moments of failure. Then in the end sequence we see his 2022 team, DRX rise from the bottom to fight through the world championship and Deft has to take out my of his own former teammates to reach the end. The guy who he was standing over was the same guy who saved him earlier in the video with the shield, but they are now on different teams and had to play against each other. It's a really epic story of one of the games best players, and truly one of it's most hard done by in terms of trophies won for how GOOD he actually has been.
To add to this, no World championship run in League of Legends will ever look like Deft and DRX's run from 2022 ever again, only the second ever reverse sweep in worlds and it happens in the Semi Finals, they started in Play-ins stage, first team ever from play ins stage to make to Finals(and i believe semi finals) and the first team ever to win the world championship starting from Play in's as their region's **4th** Seed team, and no run will ever have the Legends and Story behind it the way 2022 worlds did Keria(the guy the the shield and who was down being aimed at at the end) once said to Deft "Ill get you to worlds, ill win you a world championship" and when Deft is finally in the finals, its against Keria, and also, his former Classmate, Faker who they both debuted in league around the same time.
Was just thinking about you. Always check out this channel around this time period.
Waited days for you to react man.. you know the league Fam always come back for you bro.
A lot of these lol theme song are sang by kpop artist - girl group. This time its new jeans. A lot of them are around 17-18 years old. Its sang in english but new jeans are a korean girl group hence kpop. Kpop artist will always do hardcore dance choreography while singing. All kpop groups
Scru the newest legaue song just drooped its paranoid by heartsteel
"They got story lines in the music too" I know u dont know, but that whole video and song is about one of the most iconic rival pro players in league and tell the story of one of them.
Hearthsteel dropped today and i came to your channel specifically for the react!

'HEARTSTEEL - Paranoia' next, PLEASE!
man i come back to see all your lol anthem vids! keeps it up!
the new song Paranoia goes hard
Everyone's mentioned this is showing Defts story. For Scru some big points are in the school scene the guy with the glasses is Faker, they went to highschool together, and the dude with the robot arm that interrupted him shooting the guy at the end was also Faker. The guy he was going to shoot is Kiera, who was also the guy who had earlier saved him with the shield.
YEEEES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS 😊😊😊

Caedrel(one of the casters in the LEC rap battles you reacted to before) did a rap song about his favourite player TheShy titled
"THESHY IS BACK | WORLDS 2023 | CAEDREL FT. REGAN |". Its pretty league specifc tho although its cool how he improved himself from the rap battle video. Would be cool seeing your reaction to that.
Cant wait for the swiss stage of the world championships.
i dont think he’d like it. the song isn’t very good and the only reason we like it is because caedrel’s stream related lines
@@dkdkdkdkdkdk22since when are any of us against a bit of Pedro roast?
Bump
bro i swear hes the goat
Any character that floats down into the darkness like that always remind me of the Naruto Shippuden opening "Diver".
SFJ, if you're reading this comment, I hope you consider reaction to that music video from the anime Naruto Shippuden.
Not me sittin here waiting for my mans to do the rest of falconshields this is war. Although its good to see scru back on league stuff LOL
much love from the league fans
Here for the tradition scru
The King is back huhuhu
I'm not sure if you know or not, only because I didn't hear you mention it. But they animators have animated the actual irl players into the videos. 10/10 animation.
would love to see your reaction to the new league of legends band Heartsteel!!!
It’s even sicker when you realise they’re all actual pro players playing as their actual main champions
Oh yeah we some league fans too bro
I'm watching you since 65 subs and now 900k subs!!!!
League World anthems always come with napalm bars!!
hey bro you are the goat man, i like so mucho your reactions to league man, greetings from Nicaragua!
Deft and the homies, mans grinded the game for a decade till he finally reached the world trophy
love you brother
Bro gonna be hyped for Heartsteel
hey scru just responding to whatu said they definitely have narratives because the music video is based off Deft (a pro player) and his journey to winning the world championship after a long career
Have you watched Paranoia yet? It's a new song by a boy group of League characters called Heartsteel, like K/DA but with guys. I think it's a banger and I'm really curious to see what you'll think of it :D
STAN NEWJEANS
U do know this group 'NewJeans' is a young Kpop girl group just debut in 2022....mind blowing RIOT chose them to do this song😅

You should check out Caedrel “Theshy is back” he goes hard lyrically and the beat hits different 👍🏽
I really need this man to check out the XG cyphers, show you can and x-gene
I second this
Welcome to the Bunnies 🐰
What’s that second channel he mentioned at the beginning?
M1llionz Daily duppy you gotta
They are making a boy band song in a little bit
No league un ironically puts out banger songs
The story is about deft. He went to the same school as faker as a kid. Faker is widely regarded as the goat of league, so Deft was constantly in his shadow. Faker basically was king of league right when he started and dominated everyone for years. Deft had gotten first place at MSI (mid season international tournament) Lck (korean pro league) and LPL (Chinese pro league), but never could win worlds. He was very good, but seen as someone who just couldn’t cut it at worlds.
He’s shown losing to an eu player named Rekkles at worlds, and losing to a korean player named Showmaker at worlds. The showmaker loss was shown as being more devastating to deft, because that series wasn’t close. I think it’s also when a lot of people started losing almost all faith Deft would ever win worlds. In 2022, Deft seriously considered retiring. His team got into worlds as the 4th seed of korea. Basically they were seeded as the weakest team from Korea. They ran the gauntlet all the way from play ins to world finals. Deft overcame many former opponents and teammates to make it to finals against Faker. They won in game 5 and Deft finally got the worlds 1st place that eluded him for years. It was poetic justice too that he got it against the person who’s shadow he’d been stuck in. It was basically a stereotypical underdog story you see in movies, but it actually happened in real life. The teammate who jumped in front of him against showmaker is one of his opponents at the very end too.
Can you do "The Shy is Back" league rap for this worlds too? :)
Whats the other channel? And do you finally react to rap battles?
Wait there's a second channel??
8:05 aint no way
Nah this aint different at all. Scru stopping by for the anthems and music like he always do.

Yo Man . This whole animation is about Deft lasy year champion and his long 10 years road to be a champion .all his opponents are from real game he played in the past against certain people a lot of Easter eggs
