It's crazy how a game with simple looking graphics ends up filling stadiums during tournaments. It looks like a game you'd find on mobile, but the visuals from music videos make it look really impressive (those are what peaked my interest to watch this)

Exactly. You would expect a visually entertaining game like Street Fighter to get this kind of attention. But a Street Fighter world championship tournament won't even fill out a quarter of that stadium. Even that would be a lot.
I love it too, it was fantastic for both - the stream and the people sitting there. Imagine looking live at the 2020 and it's nothing on the stage, just dancers in the background (maybe because of the pandemic they thought it will be without an audience at all). In 2017/18 at least they could see stuff on the screens.
You are totally right, but to be fair, they had to do it while having a global pandemic :/ (also, most of the time they look weird but Akali in the beginning is beautiful, he movements are so smooth compared to the 2018 one)

2019 HAS to be the best one. So much effort put in everything, the projections were stunning and all singers and performers did great. Very sad that imo 2020 didn't live up to the standards due to covid, but I hope in future years it will be just as great.

Legend Never Die (2017 opening ceremony LOL) still number 1 for me.. 😍 the vibe of LOL looks like came out and shout out to the Dragon.. really really amazing and fire 😍 the crowd really out loud.. 💃
I have to say I kinda miss them not bringing out past champions like the did in 2014. It was kinda cool seeing actual players from those past teams waiting for the new teams to "join them on top of the mountain" so to speak

League for me is literally my youth. Playing since season 1 and watching any big events of it. Playing almost everyday after school and on the weekends, hanging out on Skype/Teamspeak/Discord with friends and random people you met in League. I met my closet friends threw League. We met in a game and after a few weeks of playing we realized we live just one city from each other. I hope League never dies.
2016 ceremony was absolutely amazing, but it really wasn't something that translated super well to a stream. You had to be there live to really experience it.
True, it would've looked better if they kept the camera zoomed in, but ig they wanted to show the box? And the audience? Kinda ruined the experience doing that, but seeing the camera pan inside the box was cool too
It has been over a decade now since the game released in 2009. Thinking about the evolution of all the worlds events and how impressive they have increased in quality each and every single year, while every year filling up stadiums to the brim, with what I am pretty sure of, at least that many people at home cheering for teams and plays, I got emotional while watching this video and throughout could not stop thinking about this one thing: "It's just a game" I know, maybe it's not heard that much anymore, at least I don't, but when I remember that people exist who say that, I wish they would just watch this one single video and realize how big of a part "gaming" or even e-sports in this case is, in today's world. It's not just a game ladies and gentlemen. For some people it's their life, just like you love doing your hobby or job, so do the players love doing what they are doing. Nothing is different from other sports, except them sitting in front of a computer, instead of kicking a ball or throwing a ball. The pressure is still there, the amount of fans watching is just incredibly high. Love to all of the good people out there and if you are having a hard time I wish you very well and the best. ♥
@@morauy3481 Right? In a higher sense, there is no difference between a well known and successfull basketball team and an esports team. The only difference lies in what they do as a sport. Literally. Everything else is the same. Millions of followers watching the games. Immense pressure. High stakes. Trophies. World records. Events.
I remember it as if it were yesterday. The year was 2014, I woke up at 4:00 am more or less here in Brazil, power up my pc and opened Twitch to watch the finals, besides reinforcing my love for Imagine Dragons, this final was my favorite of all, even though it was not the most hyped for having different teams in the final, but I remember how pawN and Imp made the game that enchanted my day, even though since today i'm not much of a fan of SSW, I cheered fervently watching every play especially from jayce's pawN.
I was rewatching this and couldn't for the life of me remember how 2018 ceremony was like, then that dude started singing Rise and I remembered why I blocked it out of my mind... Edit: Yeah I'm not talking abt the song itself, i love Rise it's one of my favorites but the guy singing it sounded like a dying whale idk
riot debería hacer un concurso anual de cosplays más impresionantes y presentarlos en los mundiales, reflejando así una gran ganancia en los ganadores lo que a su vez provocaría una notable mejora en los cosplays; podrían llegar a incluir armas, habilidades de campeon o incluso hasta algunas ultis
2018 and 2019 will remains the best opening ceremonies (yet) ! 2022 was cool but yeah.. Star Walkin' killed the epic vibes "The Call" brought in the 1st part.
Fico fascinada com tudo isso. É uma mistura de jogo, cultura, música, alegria, interação pessoal. Acredito que se existe um lugar que iremos após morte será assim, um mundo assim.
2015 was singlehandedly the biggest turnaround in league history. rewatching every single opening ceremony has me emotional because ive been here since the start of my league addiction in 2014
2014, 2017 (Against The Current) and 2018 are still my favorites. I just wish that in 2018 Tyler's mic was more up cause you can barely hear him. 2019 was also good.
I know 2020 was a rough year but I want a redo, I used to follow Jeremy McKinnon when ADTR first started touring and he has such a stage presence he deserved a redo!! Just what LoL needs

LOL should always put Imagine Dragons in every WORLD ceremony
First half of 2018... It was perfect, I love how it starts. K/DA and animations were perfect
2019 had perfect transitions too
didnt the "wielcum to tha wiorld no hyaros n willains" catch you in the second part best drunken performance ever 😂
Imagine Dragons, KDA, Against the Current.... they all go hard but I think 2019 was the best.
And it involved Crissy and Sojeon, so makes sense
2019 had the best performances on this. That was my favorite opening to watch during this.
Facts
Ye, its cool how instead of only 1 theme they used all 3 Awaken, Giants and finally Phoenix
I love it too, it was fantastic for both - the stream and the people sitting there.

Same!!! Omg
true, if only they didnt invite giants
I forget how HUGE LoL is. Wonder how many people are discovering the impact of this game after watching Arcane.
2014 -2019 are the best years of LoL performance. 2020 is like that one relative that you don’t talk to
You are totally right, but to be fair, they had to do it while having a global pandemic :/ (also, most of the time they look weird but Akali in the beginning is beautiful, he movements are so smooth compared to the 2018 one)

but the KDA performance was very good and Rise was a great song. I can forget about the live performance of Rise
Caster Jun is such a legend, always bringing so much hype to the event
I had a really hard goosebumps when the 2019 cup opened... I thank Kaela kovalskia who covered the Phoenix song, for bringing me here 1:22:21
SKT and Samsung really dominated those early years it was like the Lakers and Celtics during the 80's
2019 was best cereminy ever
Nothing beats the 2017 with the AR huge ass Elder Dragon!!!!!!!

2018 could be the best ceremony if they sang rise normally. Propably my second favorite league anthem. Warriors will never be topped tho
2019 was my favourite Year, the look and Perfomance was nice ! #G2Army
As amazing everything is but i'll never forget the moment in 2017 when the elder drake flew in... Insane
2019 will forever be my favorite and nopt just because im a g2 fan, it gives me chills everytime.
2018 and 2019 will remains the best opening ceremonies (yet) ! 2022 was cool but yeah.. Star Walkin' killed the epic vibes "The Call" brought in the 1st part.
2019 WAS AMAZING
2017 Legends never die, for it had a real dragon performing live >>>
2017 still 1 for me lol. it gave birth to the most iconic gaming song to the point where other games started using it as well
Still got goosebump whenever the dragon shows up
god bless 2019 man, many of us didn't appreciate it enough when we could
Nothing beat that 2014 change my mind
G2 in Paris was just the most unique moment lived in a lifetime.
