  6. I didn't expected to people reacting to CBLOL openings, but thank you for that. And I'm just a bit sad that the CBLOL 2015 opening was not in the list, it the second best opening ever created, it just lose to 2019 Worlds Finals.

    The drumers in MSI 2017 played a music style famous in Brazil, dancing with the drums in the rhythm.

    The music from CBLOL 2018 was written to the opening, it's says something like "you think that this is just a game, but look what we create and where we are now".

    2020 was a rough year to presentations.

    CBLOL 2021 had a better storyline than all the Ruination in-game events.

  9. My faves are definetely 2019 Worlds, 2019 and 2017 CBLOL!!!
    Fun fact: there's a mini-documentary about the 2019 Worlds ceremony (video is called 10 months, 10 minutes), they explain how the amount of holograms they used in this show was pretty much unprecedented!!!
    I wished they stopped using those horrible 3D animations plastered over the broadcasting like in Worlds 2018/2020, it looks soooooo bad 😭

  15. 1:17:45 Hi, Hi, I can actually answer this! So the group that did the instrumentation for RISE was The Glitch Mob, one of my all time favorite electronic artists (definitely check them out, they have a very unique sound that utilizes a lot of different electronic samples to achieve a very gritty, head-bobbing type of music while still retaining an incredible melodic overtone).

    2018 (the year that they released RISE, and opened Worlds with Mako & The Word Alive) was also the year that they unveiled, and began touring, with what they called "The Blade 2.0", an entirely portable live music stage setup, complete with an electronic drum for each of the members, a 16 pad midi board with 4 channels for modulation, as well as a fully customizable and variable touch screen, on which they could map any sample or sound they wanted to any number of programmable buttons. Each button translates into a sample sound. It's simple but in a way that looks incredible.

    And the best part is that all of it runs into an extremely powerful laptop using Ableton Live, containing all of their samples and everything they could possible need to create the sounds for their songs.

    Everything is produced digitally and is always played 100% live! I had the incredible opportunity to meet and discuss The Blade 2.0 with them the year they unveiled their new stage setup, and they even gave me the opportunity to test out the equipment! It was truly one of the best experiences of my life, and The Glitch Mob is definitely worth checking out, even if you aren't a big fan of electronic music. <3

  18. I've watched this whole video, thank you so much for your reaction.
    People actually are too harsh on 2020 Worlds ceremony due to the bad KDA Augmented Reality CGI, but the stage design, the city lighting, the atmosphere there was better than 2018.

    The 2019 Worlds ceremony is the best they've done live so far indeed.

    Also thank you so much for reacting to CBLOL openings, they are very underrated and almost no one knows about them outside Brazil, and in my opinion CBLOL has the best regional openings ceremonies.

    CBLOL theme was made just for CBLOL, and I get chills everytime I hear it.

    Fun Fact: Riot actually liked CBLOL 2018 ceremony so much that they hired CBLOL team to produce the MSI 2019 opening using that "forced perspective" stage.

    For some reason CBLOL's 2018 and 2019 ceremonies got smaller in duration and stage, but they still did great. That's why the 2017 was the best one for me.

    And after 2019 CBLOL openings were just cool animated music videos due to the pandemic situation, that's kinda sad but they did a good job with what they had available.

    If you are interested in making of stuff, I recommend you to watch these videos:

    "Making the Worlds 2021 Show Open Presented by Mastercard"

    Where you can see how hard it was to make the 2021 opening ceremony, because they had to throw away the almost finished project for a live ceremony due to the pandemic (they would do many effects on the stage, holograms, there are some images of the scrapped project).

    And the mini documentary about the 2019 opening ceremony making of: "10 Months, 10 Minutes | Worlds 2019 Opening Ceremony Presented by Mastercard – League of Legends".

    And there is this extra one about the MSI 2019 making of, but it's in portuguese and it doesn't have subtitles: "O Brasil na Abertura do MSI 2019 | MSI 2019"

    the only worlds which was a letdown was what 2020? i vaguely remember it.. but its with kda 2nd come back.. felt like a generic knockoff of a world event and that made me realize less is better and we could have gone without a worlds that year

  22. G2 is a European, not American team, which is why all the french people were cheering for them. They were founded by possibly League's most controversial player, Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez Santiago, who was previously SK Gaming's captain when that team dominated europe. Ever since G2 was founded, they've become the new european kings, being 4 times EU champions, 2019 MSI Champions and getting top 4 placements in '18, '19 and '20 Worlds. As of today, they're 2nd place in the ongoing european Spring Split, with 8 wins and 4 losses
