The Pain and horror on Brimstone's face shows how much he cares about his comrades. And the moment Sage healed Brim and went for the defuse knowing well she'll probably die as well is just heart wrenching.
i think is deeper than that if anything its their backstory and thats why brim has a world globe that indicates his guilt maybe he ended her... but still crumbles after trying to hold on stay strong.
@@TheRealShinobi What's wrong with that? This game has agents and they have backstories. And Riot has been building this universe slowly over the last year or so!
When sage absorbed the plant “life” i got reminded of omen dialogue from the game “sage , the life you give... do you ever wonder where it’s taken from?” Best voice line imo
Yo the flower have the same colors than Omen, so maybe its a reference about the past of Sage and omen, Sage tried to revive someone when she was weak and failed, the result was Omen
This animation is so accurate. Phoenix ulting in the open. Brim using a judge. Sage wide peeking an OP. and lastly. A Chamber who cant aim. This is my lobby guys.
the fact is u dont know the logic and story behind this...when phoenix ults in open and everyone , sage brim and phoenix had done some wrong tactic moves which makes them remember their past and coz of that they improve themselves by.... in 1st scene sage saw brim is hurt... she didnt gave heal.... it was brim's fault he didn't smoke... soo firstly brim was taught to be a controller... he is a family guy... he should do it for everyone's safety... cause somewhere in past he wasnt able to save his close one ...then sage was taught to be strong as well as a sentinel... thirdly phoenix with his animation was taught... he can do many things with his ult... he can choke anyone... soo atlast... sage heals brim... brim provides a cover... phoenix who earlier ulted in the open makes a wall for team and then comes the defuse... it gives the name " this could be the day i die for you "
When Brim tries to carry too much of the teams worry on his shoulders he crumbles. When Sage over uses healing she disrupts the balance. When Phoenix overuses his ability he forgets which one he is, the phoenix that can die and come back, or the Phoenix that has to stay alive.
I also think for sage is that she actually has to drain life from something else in order for her powers to work, as she is aware of what she's doing. And I not only think this is a representation of their fears, but also for the radiant (sage and phenoix) a look into how they got their powers, as in valorant lore its stated they weren't born with it but got then somehow with the first light
Edit: quick edit, this blew up more than I expected, my intitial analysis came from a different commenter KJ visda, and I just expanded on it, I'll make a video essay and expand upon this a bit further. So then, Let's break it down. KJ visda said, Brimstone: The weight of responsibility controllers have to secure everyone's safety in taking or holding a site. Phoenix: The amount of confidence and bravery amidst the rage of battle in entering the duels. Sage: The composure and decisions on who to heal in the middle of the shootout. This connecting the roles of the players in game to the actions in here. I want to expand and connect to my idea of the lore. Brimstone's small arc represents the responsibility he feels to carry the weight of the lifeforce of Earth 1 (the atlas reference) as the leader of the VALORANT protocol as well as his responsibility as a former soldier to protect the individual ordinary people as represented by the person that holds out a hand to him (i think the normal people represent pro players, but I can't think of the names of these guys). His figure breaking represents how he needs to let go of trying to take all the responsibility for himself and let the others in his team take part of the responsibility. Phoenix's arc represents the youthful energy and passion he brings, as well as the courage he needs to show to run face first into death. His confidence in his own ability is shown through the size of his clones and his self-confident smile, but when the raging figure rushes at him, it shows the moment he realizes that he isn't a one man army, and him tossing the sphere to the other person represents him learning that he isn't as big of a person as he once thought. Sage is first shown to be cradled in the hands of a person, she also had confidence in her abilities, then everything starts dying around her, she learns that she can't save everything, try as she might. She gets trapped in self doubt about her abilities, and her breaking out of the crystal shows that she is ready to move on and take control of her ability, instead of letting it control her. Now let's analyze the lyrics "Fight until the end . . . wishing there was something left to lose" is pointing to the responsibilities every one of these agents feel that they have "What do you see before it's over? blinding flashes getting closer" represents the things that brimstone has experienced as a soldier and he is now experiencing now, making him feel more responsible to take as much of the burden so that the ones who aren't experienced with it doesn't have to. "wish that I had something left to lose" may connect to how he has lost the person next to him in all the photos in the basement room in firing range. "Everything I know Everything I hold tight When to let it go When to make em all fight When I’m in control When I’m out of my mind When I gotta live When I gotta die gotta die" This entire verse may be showing the dilemma going through phoenix's head as a young member of valorant of what he should do and what his role is in this entire thing. "Feeling like there’s nothing I can do" connects to how sage has failed to save someone before, presumably Omen. "This could be the end it’s mine to choose" Sage feels like giving up here :It’s taken me my lifetime just to prove" Sage feels like she has something to prove, and her life has led to this moment to prove that she can do something. "Sacrificing everything I knew" they are prepared to sacrifice everything, even their lives, to protect Earth 1. The motif of "This could be the day I die for you" is showing us how everyday could be their last days, but no matter what they will try to act as the first line of defense at the cost of even their own lives. Cause remember, the world doesn't actually know of the VALORANT protocol. It's a secret organization trying to protect Earth 1 even though the world doesn't know it. No TL:DR I don't think I can summarize this, if someone thinks they can, your welcome to try. anyhow, this is just my take, I haven't actually researched that far into VALORANT lore yet
Whose revisiting this after SUPERPOWER? To me, this will always be the epitome of Valorant cinematics, and nothing comes close. The way this song/animation illustrates the desperation and sacrifice of competition is highly relatable to conflicts in real life. They set the bar way too high with this one lol
riot cursed themselves with this. Since die for you I only liked ticking away, but it's not even close to what we got here. Peak music and cinematics, I think they will never beat it
After all these years, I still relate to Brimstone the most. To me he is the most empathetic. So much so, he is willing to sacrifice himself to hold up the world for us to succeed. Yet, under that weight, he doesn't see a punishment as Atlas did with Zeus. He holds out his hand as he is crushed with the weight of the world and sees an opportunity. Shattering and broken, he cares not for himself, but reaches out to us. His eyes close as he accepts, what is seen before it's over. Sacrificing everything he knew, this was the day he died for you.
The Controller carrying the whole game, the dueslist rushing in getting killed, the sage proving she is not just a healer turning into a dueslist... this isn't a cinematic, this is an animation of a game in ranked
Okay, not only was this video and music fire, the defining aspects of the three agents' character traits that were shown were SO WELL DONE. Honestly, though my favorite thing was the comparison of Brim holding the team up and falling apart when someone dies. He puts all their lives on his shoulders and the comparison of him to Atlas holding up the sky was so freaking cool. As a video game nerd, and ancient mythology nerd, loved it, absolutely beautiful.
bruh, the Atlas reference i also took it as part of the Lore, since Brimstone is the leader of Valorant in other words the one who holds the destiny of the World since he leads the radiants and works to destroy Kingdom
This is to show that Brimstone, for being a senior, he carries the wheight of his teammates and friends lifes on his back, so seeing someone sacrifice themselfs to protect them breaks him, and Phoenix will to take some unknown and dangerous power to be a human shield so that his friend don't have to die and sages burden to cure everything no matter what. If Riot does like it did to LOL and proceeds to give more and more detail and character to each one of their character, this will be more than just a game.
For those who don't know, Grabbitz isn't just a singer, he's also a Dj/Producer, so this entire track was made by him, the only thing he didn't do was mixing/mastering since it's usually outsourced to a mixing engineer
note: went to school for audio engineering: mixing is part of the process before mastering, so I would assume he also did the mixing. as for the master its normal to send it off for mastering.
Brimstone's charecter is so beautiful and deeply constructed, the burden he carries, and the memory of loss (triggered by Phoenixs Death Charge). Kayos love for Brimstone just proves this even more, Brims someone who'd rather die saving his freind for one day than to live another 10 years. Someone who can do anything to make even 1% of a difference. What a champ. "Every man has dreams, but it isn't necessary for them to come true, but that doesn't mean we don't live each moment trying to get closer to it - that is maturity, that is what living really is. A life well lived."
In The Range there's a room under the main firing range that serves as Brimstone's office, inside there are pictures that show how Brim used have a childhood friend alongside whom he went to war. He lost his friend as it is not only hinted in those pictures but also on brimstone's and kayo's playing cards. Brim is agent 01, captain/leader of the Valorant protocol, not only he has lost a friend before thanks to war, now he has to lead new friends and his adoptive daughter Killjoy on new battles; he has to risk losing his life and those of his friends to save the world so his scene as Atlas is not only a representation of that personal burden, but also a metaphor as he's literally the one in charge of saving our planet.
What is cooler a cross over between the two series. Phoenix vs Brand, Kassadin vs Reyna, Raze vs Jinx, Chamber vs Jhinn, Yasuo vs Jett and more..... imagine those happening.
To me, this video is truly a masterpiece because it is so meticulously designed to represent all the essential elements of a low elo game: 1. Phoenix using his ult out in the open, jebaiting his entire team. 2. Team always expecting Sage to be the one to defuse the spike while they needlessly rush the enemy for additional kills. 3. Brim not using smoke on heaven, smoking his team's entry point instead. 4. Chamber missing all his op shots aside from the ulted Phoenix. 5. Phoenix trading shots against a Chamber with an op using only a sheriff. 6. Sage waiting until the last 10 seconds of the round before deciding to heal Brim who had like 29 hp at the start of the video. BONUS THING YOU DIDN'T NOTICE: Reyna & Cypher (Yes, they should have been in the video, but were busy holding shift and lurking A site instead of rushing to help Chamber defend the planted spike) Truly a masterpiece. I love it.
Mmm the world building in valorant y so small compared to league ...but yes , for sure it would be cool , but as a prequel (same as arcane ) fosusing in origin story for a character ...a thats it
@@3lmanuuu there is actually a nice story preparing int he game, i don't know if you know a bit the game but from the cinematics and the maps we have an explanation from why are they two teams with sometimes the same characters and one who has a bomb to plant, just go watch the trailer '' duality '' and you'll understand a bit of what's going on Even if the story isn't as elaborate as lol, we still have something.
Imho problem often is that ppl have no idea how proper position, smoking , flashing can mitigate any smurf regardless how much headshot % he can get. But when ppl dry peek into smurfs 24/7 yeah game can be painfull then :).
Brimstone: The weight of responsibility controllers have to secure everyone's safety in taking or holding a site. Phoenix: The amount of confidence and bravery amidst the rage of battle in entering the duels. Sage: The composure and decisions on who to heal in the middle of the shootout. And there's Chamber, being a fucking psychopathic mechanical sentinel who loves to kill this throwing team fall in his traps and sights lmao.
0:29 i love the fact that in every valorant animation theres always gonna be a phoenix running into the enemy unexpectedly, followed by his teamates trying to stop him
I find it very interesting that they showed us so much about the characters weak spots. Brimstone is clearly overloading himself with responsibility to the point where he won't give up even though he can't succede, and what helps him float weightlessly is accepting help. The phenix's one is all about rage expression,the anger that probably awakened his radiant powers and started the fire we see in his lvl 9 card. he calms down and realises he can use this power to create something beautiful and finds it reassuring.The fire clones of him are both higher and there is more of them showing how he feels small in comparison to his powers,that's why i think in game he really tries his best even with his youngster attitude he wants to prove he can use this power in a good cause. The sage's one is quite weard for me, as we see her always focused on her powers in her small world, she is a monk after all so I guess she takes her powers with seriousness placing huge part on controll and understanding. She knows that if she slips her power can probably hurt her or one of her friends but she finds the center when she helps her camrades.on the other hand Chamber can't aim and goes for the ulting phoenix which means he is a silver 3 Chamber main that is there to ruin your ranked match.
Im a chamber main and i suck at opping. I use marshall because its just chambers ult but it hits less hard. And due to that i am iron 3. Edit : i peaked at around silver tho. I just havent played ranked in a while after an encounter with an especially toxic reyna.
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 I feel you. I played one ranked game after months of unrated and I got the most toxic player alive. he insulted his entire team, pretended that we did everything he wanted us to do as if we were in the army, he didn't want us to use any ability (I'm a Viper main, so abilities are essential) and, to top it all, he started insulting the two girls who were playing with us just because they were women. We all lost interest in the game since the second match and we obviously lost. I haven't played ranked ever since because he engraved in my mind that I wasn't good enough or even at all to play in ranked.
@@zrATT_ yeah, but I prefer a completed series for Valorant, and I think it quiet hard cause each agents must have their own story and it could take time to make it, just trust in Riot xD
Hope we can get an Arcane style Valorant series some day. If there’s one thing Riot is phenomenal at, it’s gorgeous visual and lyrical storytelling. Absolute masterpiece.
@@MAR_10-x5w I think you arcane season 2 is on the way, meanwhile Valorant lore is still not complete as the world itself is still not completely explained
The crushing pressure of being in a position of leadership, the unnerving feeling of knowing the right moment to use what you've got, the tension of freezing up when your companions are in dire need. Beautiful .
Arcane is based on LoL not Valorant... They started working on Arcane years ago, it takes time to do so good animation so it took so long to release arcane, Valo is a new game so even if they started on working on any movie or series like Arcane it won't be out till like next 4 or 5 years atleast
@@age540 Of cause you cant compare both universes, I mean Lol and Runeterra Lore exists and got build up over 10 years, Valorant only exists for 2 Years if I am right so they got time to build up another great universe
Well i think about Valorant will be like a place for something more dark, and close to our life more, cause they base stories is on Earth in the future, and something like we can actually feel it can be connect to our life
@@brandonalejandro2759 riot was able to make the runeterra lore a whole universe, over ten years of designing a story that they can now build together in movie form. Val however only started last year, it’ll take a long time before they do that.
This music video is about showing the fear and the feelings of every agent during combat. Brimstone got the whole world on his shoulders because he's a leader of the team. He is scared of not being able to deal with his leadership duty. Phoenix is scared of not controlling his powers and therefore lost his identity while being a fire decoy. That's why he got the fear to be eaten by his proper power. And finally, Sage, want to be there at the right moment to heal and help her team. But she's afraid to be late and got frozen and being incapable to help them. Every emotion that we see, translates to those animations incredibly. We can also see the players, while playing their characters with their proper fear. And that's what it means to be a team. Being afraid and not be perfect for each other, and yet you can try your best to be better.
if they already thought of it that deep for a mere music video promoting their VCT, i cant wait what they'd come up with for their Arcane -like TV show for Valorant (if they ever make something like that for this game lol)
wait that actually makes sense wtf, i've been tryna understand how it makes sense thematically but i was looking at it strictly lore wise. Wow you're insane this should be top comment rn
the coolest part is that, at the end, they sort of are able to get through what they’re afraid of. sage is able to protect brim by healing him, and taking charge since he is injured, which takes off some of the pressure brim feels, and phoenix protects sage with his wall and helps her with defusing instead of giving into his anger and just going for chamber instead. idk that’s just sort of how my brain processed it, it’s alright if no one else thinks that way lmao
@@Dark_OFW To be fair Blizzard was in a pretty similar position just a few years ago, I only hope riot doesn't go down that path because at their current rate they're fantastic.
@@iKingOf major diff is that the changes to blizz have largely come from activision. Riot has been owned by tencent for ages now and even though they’re one of the largest game companies they’re keeping their control (for the most part)
It really impressed me how symbolic this video was (and also inspiring). All of them showing some of their flaws and overcoming it. Brimstone = It's ok to not hold all the pressure and let someone else take the lead. Phoenix = Not let the chase for glory and attention take the best of you. The fact that he gave Sage the defuser showed that. Sage = Believing yourself and taking the frontline.
brim had the pressure of the world on his shoulders, he needed to let someone help him. Phoenix was too reckless and irrational, he needed to think, and sage believed the power over life she was given meant she had to help everyone. the end shows they developed because phoenix didn't recklessly charge back in, he used his brain, and walled. brim let the other 2 do the work, and sage didn't let the pressure of her responsibilities control her. this has been my tedtalk
The part where he gives the ball of light back to the player also shows that he has now learnt to be selfless sometimes and let others do it better than he can.
I think it shows the legends greatest fears / struggles: Brim - Trying to do everything by himself, and not being able to stand the pressure - Even when holding a planet, he reached out with one hand for the girl Phoenix - Afraid of his "other self" Sage - Insecureties about her powers and her importance
I wouldn't mind a Valorant animated series with adult themes, agents in and missions...the characters are already amazing 🔥 Edit:1,9k likes? Omg thank you!!! 😁
Anyone else get super emotional from this? I'm not usually the one to be this way but seeing all this imagery especially that Brimstone Atlas moment was really heartbreaking.
I mean we got this for league and then even got a whole netflix series which nobody couldve predicted even just a few years ago, valorant is getting incredibly big so you might get your wish sooner than you think :)
@@ij2793 from what I'm seeing, it's more like an animated trailer of Rainbow Six: Siege, but I think it's a lot more polished. So yes, I would love to see Valorant series in this style
maybe anecdotal, but for me, the reason arcane worked so well was because they spent years building up the world of Runeterra, took countless champion releases to really shape up the lore and backstory of a lot of these places, and the end result being the show, didn't feel artificial. but for valorant, i don't really get too attached to the agents lores, don't really know much about them, so a valorant series might not be too appealing
@@yfrums2563 it might need a few more years to have its lore fleshed out like League, I mean Arcane was 6 years in the making (not sure, just read it somewhere). It had a fleshed out lore through the different stories of each champions.
@@yfrums2563 i think brim has the most lore however he not popular. some1 like jett would be interesting as she started this. but that like 3-4 years away
For those who don't know, Atlas is a Titan condemned (by Zeus, if i'm not wrong) to hold up the heavens/sky in his shoulders for eternity after the Titanomachy (war between gods and titans).
"what do you see befor it's over? Blinding flashes getting closer" Pushes site without smoke Phoenix ults in the open Sage peeking an OP with a specter YES IT'S VALORANT
I love the thought that riot has put into valorant's lore . I would love to see a book or a series based on the characters that show up in place of brim sage and phoenix
@@bandi642 it is 100% a representation of the characters and their players. They legitimately show how each one is breaking down the barrier between reality and the game. Each character has their own dimension and in each of their respective dimensions it shows the players picking them (Phoenix passing radiant ball to player, brim carrying atlas stone but instead reaching out to player, Sage frozen in ice till she’s picked by the player). In actuality I think it resembles that the players were picked by the characters themselves and not the other way around. In the end, the players truly embody each of their characters.
Welp. That's it, I'm actually trapped, I can't not be a Riot fan for the rest of my life. I get the excitement and feeling of being a kid again with everything that Riot puts out. It's phenomenal.
Just now I realized bit of the story in this clip. They are initially playing poorly, the smoke is poorly placed and there is no wall cover to split's pillar, phoenix not entry-fragging. You know, the usual stuff. And there is a cost for their decisions, Brimstone is low health, sage is afraid of peeking and the phoenix ultimate was wasted. Then there is the reflexive part of the clip. Each player is learning from the agent, and each agent is learning with the player. Brimstone before meeting the girl player feels like he should do every role on his own: he entry-frags, he can't concentrate on good smokes because he is playing high-tempo. All this responsabilities without altruism and teamplay are crushing him. The player knows this from former matches, and show him that even if he dies the game would go on without him, and being selfish in the game would only make him the center of debries. The meeting with Phoenix is different, because the agent is somehow showing the player that there are several ways of playing the agent, i get this from the several giant fire Phoenixes that surround him, and that he might not be the star everytime he plays, so a little self-conciousness if his ego could help. But Sage's meeting her player is by far the most significant for me: she was playing passive and supersafe, like inside a glass dome. But that was freezing her. Than the anger of the agent is taught to player, showing that she can still play her role without being passive all the time. In the last frame of the meeting we can see her protecting the player, but rather being out of the dome and taking her chances. In the end we can see some teamplay: Sage heals Brimstone, that accepts his conditions and stands back until full health, Sage runs to defuse the spike, taking her chances even though the site is not safe. Phoenix uses his skills thinking in the team rather than him self and gives the running sage the thingy. Last frame: The players, not the agents, learned cooperation. EDIT: Wow! So many likes. Thank you guys!
I am so stoked to have been a part of this. I hope everyone is enjoying!!! ROCK ON

She was trying to give it life, even the lyrics said: "Feelin' like there's nothing i can do."

I also think for sage is that she actually has to drain life from something else in order for her powers to work, as she is aware of what she's doing. And I not only think this is a representation of their fears, but also for the radiant (sage and phenoix) a look into how they got their powers, as in valorant lore its stated they weren't born with it but got then somehow with the first light

Edit: quick edit, this blew up more than I expected, my intitial analysis came from a different commenter KJ visda, and I just expanded on it, I'll make a video essay and expand upon this a bit further.
So then, Let's break it down.
KJ visda said,
Brimstone: The weight of responsibility controllers have to secure everyone's safety in taking or holding a site.
Phoenix: The amount of confidence and bravery amidst the rage of battle in entering the duels.
Sage: The composure and decisions on who to heal in the middle of the shootout.
This connecting the roles of the players in game to the actions in here.
I want to expand and connect to my idea of the lore.
Brimstone's small arc represents the responsibility he feels to carry the weight of the lifeforce of Earth 1 (the atlas reference) as the leader of the VALORANT protocol as well as his responsibility as a former soldier to protect the individual ordinary people as represented by the person that holds out a hand to him (i think the normal people represent pro players, but I can't think of the names of these guys). His figure breaking represents how he needs to let go of trying to take all the responsibility for himself and let the others in his team take part of the responsibility.
Phoenix's arc represents the youthful energy and passion he brings, as well as the courage he needs to show to run face first into death. His confidence in his own ability is shown through the size of his clones and his self-confident smile, but when the raging figure rushes at him, it shows the moment he realizes that he isn't a one man army, and him tossing the sphere to the other person represents him learning that he isn't as big of a person as he once thought.
Sage is first shown to be cradled in the hands of a person, she also had confidence in her abilities, then everything starts dying around her, she learns that she can't save everything, try as she might. She gets trapped in self doubt about her abilities, and her breaking out of the crystal shows that she is ready to move on and take control of her ability, instead of letting it control her.
Now let's analyze the lyrics
"Fight until the end . . . wishing there was something left to lose" is pointing to the responsibilities every one of these agents feel that they have
"What do you see before it's over? blinding flashes getting closer" represents the things that brimstone has experienced as a soldier and he is now experiencing now, making him feel more responsible to take as much of the burden so that the ones who aren't experienced with it doesn't have to. "wish that I had something left to lose" may connect to how he has lost the person next to him in all the photos in the basement room in firing range.
"Everything I know
Everything I hold tight
When to let it go
When to make em all fight
When I’m in control
When I’m out of my mind
When I gotta live
When I gotta die gotta die"
This entire verse may be showing the dilemma going through phoenix's head as a young member of valorant of what he should do and what his role is in this entire thing.
"Feeling like there’s nothing I can do" connects to how sage has failed to save someone before, presumably Omen.
"This could be the end it’s mine to choose" Sage feels like giving up here
:It’s taken me my lifetime just to prove" Sage feels like she has something to prove, and her life has led to this moment to prove that she can do something.
"Sacrificing everything I knew" they are prepared to sacrifice everything, even their lives, to protect Earth 1.
The motif of "This could be the day I die for you" is showing us how everyday could be their last days, but no matter what they will try to act as the first line of defense at the cost of even their own lives. Cause remember, the world doesn't actually know of the VALORANT protocol. It's a secret organization trying to protect Earth 1 even though the world doesn't know it.
No TL:DR I don't think I can summarize this, if someone thinks they can, your welcome to try. anyhow, this is just my take, I haven't actually researched that far into VALORANT lore yet
Too good 💕
Amazing.. I was looking for someone to explain the meaning of the video in a better way
❤️
I ain't reading all that, but here's like for appreciation
valorant lore is better than any other game
Whose revisiting this after SUPERPOWER? To me, this will always be the epitome of Valorant cinematics, and nothing comes close. The way this song/animation illustrates the desperation and sacrifice of competition is highly relatable to conflicts in real life. They set the bar way too high with this one lol
Agreed 100%
riot cursed themselves with this. Since die for you I only liked ticking away, but it's not even close to what we got here. Peak music and cinematics, I think they will never beat it
this one is mehhhhhh. music is boring. just like most valorant players music tastes

Yea, for sure
I'm so happy my boy Grabbitz is getting the recognition he deserves! This song slaps!
y
First my boy JID get noticed, now Grabbitz. Riot is promoting all the people that need to be promoted and I love them for that
I misread it as Grabbz, the former coach of G2, so i was intrigued
@Kyoki Jin People are saying this is Midtempo / Synthwave, which seems more accurate.
He has a nice voice
After all these years, I still relate to Brimstone the most. To me he is the most empathetic. So much so, he is willing to sacrifice himself to hold up the world for us to succeed. Yet, under that weight, he doesn't see a punishment as Atlas did with Zeus. He holds out his hand as he is crushed with the weight of the world and sees an opportunity. Shattering and broken, he cares not for himself, but reaches out to us. His eyes close as he accepts, what is seen before it's over. Sacrificing everything he knew, this was the day he died for you.
Reading this actually brought a tear to my eye. A+ comment!
The title drop at the end is a cherry on top

Nah if u look very closely there is 1 single pixel that gets crushed, that was cypher being killed again, he will never survive
Okay, not only was this video and music fire, the defining aspects of the three agents' character traits that were shown were SO WELL DONE. Honestly, though my favorite thing was the comparison of Brim holding the team up and falling apart when someone dies. He puts all their lives on his shoulders and the comparison of him to Atlas holding up the sky was so freaking cool. As a video game nerd, and ancient mythology nerd, loved it, absolutely beautiful.
bruh, the Atlas reference i also took it as part of the Lore, since Brimstone is the leader of Valorant in other words the one who holds the destiny of the World since he leads the radiants and works to destroy Kingdom
It is good to know a lot about history for times like this😊
I thought it was hinting at brimstone crumbling under the pressure of *something*
This is to show that Brimstone, for being a senior, he carries the wheight of his teammates and friends lifes on his back, so seeing someone sacrifice themselfs to protect them breaks him, and Phoenix will to take some unknown and dangerous power to be a human shield so that his friend don't have to die and sages burden to cure everything no matter what. If Riot does like it did to LOL and proceeds to give more and more detail and character to each one of their character, this will be more than just a game.
Ikr?? That was so epic the way the elaborated on it and their depiction was spot on.

For those who don't know, Grabbitz isn't just a singer, he's also a Dj/Producer, so this entire track was made by him, the only thing he didn't do was mixing/mastering since it's usually outsourced to a mixing engineer
He is too underrated dude, deserves a larger audience
I still remembered listenning to his stuff back when he signed in Monstercat. I used to listen to Here with you now all the time. Damn time move fast
Does he have a yt channel or any media platforms?
thank god, ive been seeing so many people praise riot for a song that he made
note: went to school for audio engineering: mixing is part of the process before mastering, so I would assume he also did the mixing. as for the master its normal to send it off for mastering.
I truly appreciate the efforts put by animators in making this masterpiece.

@@Kyuw33 real

Brimstone's charecter is so beautiful and deeply constructed, the burden he carries, and the memory of loss (triggered by Phoenixs Death Charge). Kayos love for Brimstone just proves this even more, Brims someone who'd rather die saving his freind for one day than to live another 10 years. Someone who can do anything to make even 1% of a difference. What a champ.
"Every man has dreams, but it isn't necessary for them to come true, but that doesn't mean we don't live each moment trying to get closer to it - that is maturity, that is what living really is. A life well lived."
Brimstone is like a dad for all these youngsters. Everyone calls him old but he still cares about them.
He takes care of each and every one of them in his own way and has someone to take his place should he fall. He's the greatest.
In The Range there's a room under the main firing range that serves as Brimstone's office, inside there are pictures that show how Brim used have a childhood friend alongside whom he went to war. He lost his friend as it is not only hinted in those pictures but also on brimstone's and kayo's playing cards. Brim is agent 01, captain/leader of the Valorant protocol, not only he has lost a friend before thanks to war, now he has to lead new friends and his adoptive daughter Killjoy on new battles; he has to risk losing his life and those of his friends to save the world so his scene as Atlas is not only a representation of that personal burden, but also a metaphor as he's literally the one in charge of saving our planet.

To me, this video is truly a masterpiece because it is so meticulously designed to represent all the essential elements of a low elo game:
1. Phoenix using his ult out in the open, jebaiting his entire team.
2. Team always expecting Sage to be the one to defuse the spike while they needlessly rush the enemy for additional kills.
3. Brim not using smoke on heaven, smoking his team's entry point instead.
4. Chamber missing all his op shots aside from the ulted Phoenix.
5. Phoenix trading shots against a Chamber with an op using only a sheriff.
6. Sage waiting until the last 10 seconds of the round before deciding to heal Brim who had like 29 hp at the start of the video.
BONUS THING YOU DIDN'T NOTICE:
Reyna & Cypher (Yes, they should have been in the video, but were busy holding shift and lurking A site instead of rushing to help Chamber defend the planted spike)

@@death2able well not from 2009... Since around 2015 maybe
I find it very interesting that they showed us so much about the characters weak spots. Brimstone is clearly overloading himself with responsibility to the point where he won't give up even though he can't succede, and what helps him float weightlessly is accepting help. The phenix's one is all about rage expression,the anger that probably awakened his radiant powers and started the fire we see in his lvl 9 card. he calms down and realises he can use this power to create something beautiful and finds it reassuring.The fire clones of him are both higher and there is more of them showing how he feels small in comparison to his powers,that's why i think in game he really tries his best even with his youngster attitude he wants to prove he can use this power in a good cause. The sage's one is quite weard for me, as we see her always focused on her powers in her small world, she is a monk after all so I guess she takes her powers with seriousness placing huge part on controll and understanding. She knows that if she slips her power can probably hurt her or one of her friends but she finds the center when she helps her camrades.on the other hand Chamber can't aim and goes for the ulting phoenix which means he is a silver 3 Chamber main that is there to ruin your ranked match.
this was really deep up until you insulted the chamber mains, they're gonna come for you now lock your doors

We all lost interest in the game since the second match and we obviously lost. I haven't played ranked ever since because he engraved in my mind that I wasn't good enough or even at all to play in ranked.

This music video is about showing the fear and the feelings of every agent during combat. Brimstone got the whole world on his shoulders because he's a leader of the team. He is scared of not being able to deal with his leadership duty. Phoenix is scared of not controlling his powers and therefore lost his identity while being a fire decoy. That's why he got the fear to be eaten by his proper power. And finally, Sage, want to be there at the right moment to heal and help her team. But she's afraid to be late and got frozen and being incapable to help them. Every emotion that we see, translates to those animations incredibly. We can also see the players, while playing their characters with their proper fear. And that's what it means to be a team. Being afraid and not be perfect for each other, and yet you can try your best to be better.
Vayy be demek öyle
if they already thought of it that deep for a mere music video promoting their VCT, i cant wait what they'd come up with for their Arcane -like TV show for Valorant (if they ever make something like that for this game lol)

yuhh bu nedir yaa
the coolest part is that, at the end, they sort of are able to get through what they’re afraid of. sage is able to protect brim by healing him, and taking charge since he is injured, which takes off some of the pressure brim feels, and phoenix protects sage with his wall and helps her with defusing instead of giving into his anger and just going for chamber instead. idk that’s just sort of how my brain processed it, it’s alright if no one else thinks that way lmao

It really impressed me how symbolic this video was (and also inspiring). All of them showing some of their flaws and overcoming it.
Brimstone = It's ok to not hold all the pressure and let someone else take the lead.
Phoenix = Not let the chase for glory and attention take the best of you. The fact that he gave Sage the defuser showed that.
Sage = Believing yourself and taking the frontline.
This is so legit. I am kinda feeling proud of phoenix and happy for Brim.
brim had the pressure of the world on his shoulders, he needed to let someone help him. Phoenix was too reckless and irrational, he needed to think, and sage believed the power over life she was given meant she had to help everyone. the end shows they developed because phoenix didn't recklessly charge back in, he used his brain, and walled. brim let the other 2 do the work, and sage didn't let the pressure of her responsibilities control her.
this has been my tedtalk
Even makes it look like that for Phoenix’s scene - he had to (2:00) ‘swallow his own pride’ to overcome the challenge of becoming your own enemy
The part where he gives the ball of light back to the player also shows that he has now learnt to be selfless sometimes and let others do it better than he can.
I think it shows the legends greatest fears / struggles:
Brim - Trying to do everything by himself, and not being able to stand the pressure - Even when holding a planet, he reached out with one hand for the girl
Phoenix - Afraid of his "other self"
Sage - Insecureties about her powers and her importance

Anyone else get super emotional from this? I'm not usually the one to be this way but seeing all this imagery especially that Brimstone Atlas moment was really heartbreaking.
I got chills and started tearing up, this whole production is so beautiful!
im literally crying xd
i felt it when phoenix was shot then seeing sage's expression
you know the artist's know what they are doing when a music video can choke you up
NGL I shed tears as soon as the song ended
I just listened to the most recent music for Champions this year and this still clears all years.
It's incredible how well riot handles their games. First Arcane with League, now slowly with Valorant. The future is bright for this IP :D
wut? animated stuff ahs been there for a while
Also I don't think it 's that good
Unlucky they don't handle the same bugs, glitches and servers
@@mareksicinski3726 m8 that sounds like an opinion
@UC02huzjKHUbnxGhPaANDQIQ i think he's talking about the Arcane animated series and now this video...
Because it will be a world championship like worlds
Yo this is insane 😍
Anyone else hyped af for Valorant’s netflix show? 👀
is that coming???
@@WillFairfaxSKI he is just kidding 😂
I mean arcane is there
would be my first netflix show but yea i will watch it
this is addictive as hell
@@gcity5126 wha
God, I would love for an actual series of valorant animations. The lore, the damn lore bro. I would love to see more of this.
I mean we got this for league and then even got a whole netflix series which nobody couldve predicted even just a few years ago, valorant is getting incredibly big so you might get your wish sooner than you think :)
God yessss!¡ i was actually gonna comment about that ! The song,the video and the animation is just top notch!
I would love if they take the anime route for Valo to set it apart from Arcane.
Bro let us pray for that
@@ij2793 from what I'm seeing, it's more like an animated trailer of Rainbow Six: Siege, but I think it's a lot more polished. So yes, I would love to see Valorant series in this style
VALOの最初にして最高な曲だ
GambitのChronicleのACEが想い出せる熱い戦いやった
After listening to the new song, I gotta admit Die For You just hits different
yup
can confirm
literally does
agree
Yes, less chaotic, cleaner, more build up, easier to take in. the new one is good but not my favorite sadly.
this one just bettter
This animation shows us the potential for a Valorant series. They did Arcane so well, and THIS, THIS COULD BE AMAZING
Littelary they did so much effort just to promote something like damn
maybe anecdotal, but for me, the reason arcane worked so well was because they spent years building up the world of Runeterra, took countless champion releases to really shape up the lore and backstory of a lot of these places, and the end result being the show, didn't feel artificial. but for valorant, i don't really get too attached to the agents lores, don't really know much about them, so a valorant series might not be too appealing
@@yfrums2563 it might need a few more years to have its lore fleshed out like League, I mean Arcane was 6 years in the making (not sure, just read it somewhere). It had a fleshed out lore through the different stories of each champions.
So true
@@yfrums2563 i think brim has the most lore however he not popular. some1 like jett would be interesting as she started this. but that like 3-4 years away
Look at my man Brim, carrying all that burden on his shoulders.
The atlas reference is astonishing!
For those who don't know, Atlas is a Titan condemned (by Zeus, if i'm not wrong) to hold up the heavens/sky in his shoulders for eternity after the Titanomachy (war between gods and titans).
@@elementioun2233 wasnt he suppose to hold the earth for eternity or it is the sky and more ? I dont remember
@@elementioun2233 ty
@@Garoukls yeah in the depictions i remember hes holding up the earth. dunno tho
I thought it was the Tsuchikage and Madara reference but ok
Nothing can top this one
ticking away and this one

"what do you see befor it's over? Blinding flashes getting closer"
Pushes site without smoke
Phoenix ults in the open
Sage peeking an OP with a specter
YES IT'S VALORANT
relatable af
plus they are trying to defuse the spike without even trying to kill the opper first
certified valorant moment
Maybe they're in eco.
Phoenix will handle the oper using his one tap sheriff.
Sage has a Phantom
@@itsnei6711 if he ever taps Chamber lol
I love the thought that riot has put into valorant's lore . I would love to see a book or a series based on the characters that show up in place of brim sage and phoenix
I think it was us, the players they depict here... the characters die for us, the players. I think that was the meaning
@@blaza1383 i think so too. you can see how the agents turn into “us” when they were fighting
@@blaza1383 ooooh that is a good theory becouse those characters give power to agents
@@zebaget no, its metaphorical in the lore there are no concept of players
@@bandi642 it is 100% a representation of the characters and their players. They legitimately show how each one is breaking down the barrier between reality and the game. Each character has their own dimension and in each of their respective dimensions it shows the players picking them (Phoenix passing radiant ball to player, brim carrying atlas stone but instead reaching out to player, Sage frozen in ice till she’s picked by the player). In actuality I think it resembles that the players were picked by the characters themselves and not the other way around. In the end, the players truly embody each of their characters.
Welp. That's it, I'm actually trapped, I can't not be a Riot fan for the rest of my life. I get the excitement and feeling of being a kid again with everything that Riot puts out. It's phenomenal.
its okay im right there with you :)
No matter how many times I hear this song, this song gives me goosebumps every time
Just now I realized bit of the story in this clip. They are initially playing poorly, the smoke is poorly placed and there is no wall cover to split's pillar, phoenix not entry-fragging. You know, the usual stuff.
And there is a cost for their decisions, Brimstone is low health, sage is afraid of peeking and the phoenix ultimate was wasted. Then there is the reflexive part of the clip.
Each player is learning from the agent, and each agent is learning with the player. Brimstone before meeting the girl player feels like he should do every role on his own: he entry-frags, he can't concentrate on good smokes because he is playing high-tempo. All this responsabilities without altruism and teamplay are crushing him. The player knows this from former matches, and show him that even if he dies the game would go on without him, and being selfish in the game would only make him the center of debries.
The meeting with Phoenix is different, because the agent is somehow showing the player that there are several ways of playing the agent, i get this from the several giant fire Phoenixes that surround him, and that he might not be the star everytime he plays, so a little self-conciousness if his ego could help.
But Sage's meeting her player is by far the most significant for me: she was playing passive and supersafe, like inside a glass dome. But that was freezing her. Than the anger of the agent is taught to player, showing that she can still play her role without being passive all the time. In the last frame of the meeting we can see her protecting the player, but rather being out of the dome and taking her chances.
In the end we can see some teamplay: Sage heals Brimstone, that accepts his conditions and stands back until full health, Sage runs to defuse the spike, taking her chances even though the site is not safe. Phoenix uses his skills thinking in the team rather than him self and gives the running sage the thingy.
Last frame: The players, not the agents, learned cooperation.
EDIT: Wow! So many likes. Thank you guys!
I also tried to analyze the video but I wouldn't have thought that far in a million years. Thanks! xD
Damn bro
Nice theory
or is it?
NEEERRRRDD!!!!
