  2. "Evil Heimerdinger" is Ornn. One of four gods of Freljord(Ornn-Volibear-Anivia(female)-Unknown). Ornn is blacksmith god, like hephaistos.
    Ice chick is iceborn Sejuani, from Winterclaw Clan. Using two axe guy is Olaf.
    Spartan guy is Atreus, once upon a time, he was god.
    You can learn more on league of legends's website. That's all i have remember. Sorry for the insufficient information.

  8. Welcome to Pro league of legends.

    Since its a global esport, Riot has organized competition into regions and made each region its own league. The big four are:

    South Korea – plays in the LCK
    China – plays in the LPL
    Europe – plays in the LEC
    North America/Australia – plays in the LCS

    Japan, Brazil, and Turkey are probably the next three largest regions.

    During the year each regional league has a regular season cut into two splits (the Spring split, which we are in the middle of now, and the Summer split). The best teams from each region by the end of the summer split are invited to the biggest tournament Riot hosts all year: WORLDS.

    Major regions can send their top 3 teams (top 4 in China and Korea's case since they are the best two regions), minor regions can send one representative. The tournament takes a month to play out and ends in the World Finals, which you are watching the opening ceremonies to.

  10. Hi, I loved the video!

    Then, when you can, react to Valorant Music Trailers and Trailers! It's another game from Riot, the same company as League of Legends.

    Sorry if my English is not so good, I'm from another country 😅

  12. 2019 Worlds is so good. It's unfortunately COVID derailed their plans for 2020 (and probably 2021) but what didn't COVID derail. If you are interested in the behind the scenes of the 2019 Worlds performances and tech, check out "10 Months, 10 Minutes". It is a documentary put out by Riot of what went into that performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyX6MRs506M More reaction content 😉

  13. So riot came out with a statement about the production of the 2020 opening ceremony. They admitted the graphics and production weren’t their best work, but it wasn’t due to neglect. Because of the pandemic, and their need for at least a year of work on the production in advance, they were unable to make things look polished the way they were meant to be because they couldn’t work in close quarters together. Almost all of what was done was done individually from home and they were also made to outsource some of the production because of their limitations. It’s truly unfortunate because everyone was SOOOO excited for KDA to get a huge show at the opening ceremony that would eclipse their previous one but, well…you saw how they ended up looking.

  14. Gotta admit. Like 3 years ago I had no idea what was going on at all in League games. I started playing Wild Rift on mobile in 2020 and now I can see why people go crazy over the craziness on screen.

  17. They are sent live on twitch with league of legends official channel. World championshit tends to be sent at the end of the year like oct or nov.

  21. For furthermore LoL lore in the Call cinematic in order.

    Ornn is the God of Forging/Blacksmiths. He swore to never forge a weapon again after Freljord was founded which was I believe more than 7000 years ago, unless world was in catastrophic danger. In the cinematic, we see him forging a sword. That sword is likely the Infinity Edge from the game. A weapon of Legend.

    Women that you see that rides the boar is called Sejuani the Warmother. She is one of the 3 tribe leaders in the Freljord. Freljord is divided into 3 main societies. Lissandra's tribe, who are loyal to the Frozen Watchers (I believe this is retconned over the years but not %100), Ashe's tribe who are the rebels; and Sejuani's tribe who seek to isolate themselves from the society.

    The bearman that you Sejuani's tribe fighting is the Ursur, they are the followers of Volibear; giant storm god that you see in the clouds after that lightining attack that the bearman does. Ursur are shapeshifters.

    Volibear ordered his followers to fight Sejuani's tribe because they are searching for an artifact of Ornn, which is said to be able to create infinite food. Sejuani seeks to find that in order to fix the starvation issue her tribe suffers because of the fact that they are isolating themselves from the society.

    Volibear is not an "evil" god or a villain. He seeks to hide Ornn's infinite food generator artifact from Sejuani's trible because he believes if they rely on the artifact too much it will weaken the humans. World of Runeterra was nearly destroyed once but was ultimately saved. I believe Volibears goal is simply survival of the fittest so strong can live and fight.

    Viking guy is Olaf, I don't think he is really suppose to be there. So I'm guessing new stories will likely come up in the future explaining why he is there. But Olaf's lore is, a prophecy told him that he would peacefully die in his bed, and since Olaf is a Viking; I'm guessing he is travelling the world and fighting in order to have a glorious death. Not sure about this to be honest.

    Spartan looking guy you see ascending a mountain is called Pantheon. Pantheon is the god/aspect of war and was killed in battle by a Darkin. So, the god himself is dead, but aspects vessel; the human called Atreus is alive and he hates all gods and demons. He was an unwilling host to god of war and he believes that all gods are cruel and must be killed in order for mankind to prosper.

    The woman Atreus fights is called Leona, she is aspect/goddess of the Sun. A nice little detail is, when Atreus is fighting humans; he is not using lethal force nor his spear. He is only using light punches and shield attack in order to not kill them. As I explained before, Atreus is fighting for the sake of humans, for a greater cause against gods. That's why you see him pick up his spear only against Leona, the Aspect/Goddess.

    Giant light beam attack that you see hits Atreus is likely coming from Aurelion Sol. Celestial Space dragon who is called the star forger and can literally create Stars. If that is not Aurelion Sol, it could be from Zoe; aspect of Twilight.

    Two woman you see in the desert region are called Taliyah (Earthbender) and Kai Sa. Kai Sa due to an unfortunate incident in her childhood was trapped in the Void. She survived possibly the greatest evil that anything can encounter in Leauge of Legends universe there. Her "suit" is basically a void monster. The suit gives her powers, increased strenght, speed, reflexes, magical powers etc. But it slowly consumes and eats her.

    There was a story, somewhat recent that goes onto detail of Taliyah and Kai Sa's encounter. However I haven't read it myself, because of that I will not be able to go into detail in their story. But, just before Rek Sai (Giant monster) launches up, you see a quick glance between Kai Sa and Taliyah. In that moment, they both realize the foe that they are facing is too powerful and can not be beaten. That is why, Kai Sa sacrifices herself for the sake of Taliyah and her Tribe. At the end, you can see Kai Sa luring Rek Sai towards a purple light, that is the Void where Kai Sa was trapped when she was a kid. She is luring Rek Sai where it came from because she knows she survived Void once, and can do it again.

    Edit: I will correct some inaccuracies here and there If somebody points it out.

  26. you can play league but i would say play with friends vs bots for awhile. you know how people are about if you arent playing the best how they go crazy. also 2014 worlds is another one you can watch. kinda the one that started it all. oh side note each worlds they said takes about 10 months of planning and building so thats why 2020 had spots that wasnt so great or felt rushed (you know covid). on the call 2 scene are stories going on right now. the 3rd is assumed to be a upcoming story. yea riot has comics (done by marvel) and i think you can call them web comics so if you want more than just back stories there are current stories to read.

  27. I was WAITING for this reaction! I remember saying in a previous comment The Call was quite literally breathtaking. I'll explain who they are without writing essays this time (hopefully lol).

    The big teddybear in the beginning is Ornn, he's a smith/forger and he lives under/in a volcano. The warrior on the boar, she's Sejuani – Warmother. The freezing bolas she tosses is her ultimate move. The bear who wielded electricity is Volibear, an ancient warrior bear/spirit that fiercely protects the tundra. The viking style warrior with the two horned helm is Olaf, he's a berserker and his ultimate move is he ignores all enemy crowd control abilities (stuns, slows, roots…etc) and violently charges right into them – he literally shrugged off that huge glacier that fell on him lol

    The spartan looking guy is Atreus who was, previously, possessed by the "Aspect of War" named Pantheon. He's now free of Pantheon and defends humanity against gods, Aspects, spirits and everything stronger than humans. He leaves his spear when fighting humans, he doesn't want to kill them needlessly. But picks it up again when he fights Leona – Aspect of the Sun. He was trying to reach the city on the other side of that portal to get help (or fight someone? lol), but Leona stops him.

    The girl who controls stone that's Taaliyah, a very strong mage. The girl with her is Kai'sa, once lost in the 'Void' – a nightmarish realm of creatures and monsters, now symbiotically bonded with her suit and trying to protect humanity from the creatures of the void. Which brings me to the last champion, a void creature, the giant monster pursuing Kai'sa, her name is Rek'sai, an apex predator that burrows and tunnels underground for her prey

    As someone who plays league often, that trailer…wow, breathtaking, amazing, incredible to see all the champs in the game brought to life like this. I do HOPE they one day make a league movie or include a lot of these REALLY COOL champs in the future Arcane seasons. Thank you guys! This made my day!

  28. Brace yourself because I am sure eventually Arcane will be covering these biomes you saw in "The Call" trailer. Riot games has a HUGE world to build off of for future seasons! 🙂

  33. The Solari and Lunari are both part of the people of Targon, called Targonians. They're basically demi gods, and once they ascend Mt. Targon they become full fledged gods. The spartan guy is called Pantheon and a lot of his design was taken from Ares, God of War. Mt. Targon as a whole draws a lot form Mt. Olympus. Leona, who was fighting Pantheon seems to draw a lot from Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Handicraft.

  35. So, you guys said "They should make a movie…" They actually have a TV series now called Arcane on Netflix. You can actually put your reactions to Arcane with video on youtube; plenty of people have done it. I think the only thing that can't be shown is the intro to the show due to music, but even with that they seem to be lax.

  36. 5:34 It is a music video. I lose track a bit of who watched what but I don't think you seen that one. It is "Legends Never Die (ft. Against The Current) | Worlds 2017 – League of Legends". Love that music video and love the music itself even more. It's been on my playlist since I've first heard it. Thinking about it, I think you also missed "Phoenix (ft. Cailin Russo and Chrissy Costanza) | Worlds 2019 – League of Legends" which is another good music video.

    15:20 From the making of, the portal as a weird motion and there are color bars for a frame or two because the camera in charge of that scene died so they had to switch to an alternate one which was a bit misaligned with the intended position. The team behind it felt like dying inside even though we barely notice it if we don't know.

  46. That spartan guy is Pantheon
    Pantheon lore and theme is one the most empowering messages ever told. Check out Pantheon lore if you're interested.
    There's a youtube channel name Necrit he explains everything

  48. That elastic girl as you called it, is named Chrissy Costanza and she also plays league of legends as well as streams, there are several funny clips of her, she seems like the type of person that could gel with everyone. Also, loved the long video, as a lifelong procrastinator, thanks for making 47 mins just fly by
