At the end of September, the S8 global finals will begin soon.
Riot Games took the opportunity to release this year’s global finals theme song.
"RISE" has been translated into "Reaching the Peak" by Yadaxin in China.
I don’t know what happened, but a group of people got into an inexplicable quarrel over who was the protagonist of this theme song.
"Isn't the title of the song obvious enough? Climb to the top to create the 'extreme' realm. It cannot be said to be very similar to the words on the back of the IG team uniform, it can only be said to be a dime a dozen."
"That's right, climbing a mountain means climbing over a mountain, isn't it? I posted an official blog during the IG Bubble Competition to let the world hear IG's voice."
"Bah, a bunch of illiterate people, can you look up what the word 'RISE' means? Isn't this a metaphor for my RNG sword flying fairy, pointing my sword at the S8 championship?"
"Why are four-letter words translated into five-letter words, no more, no less? Because the translation feels bad!"
"Looking back a little, who is the man standing at the top of LOL? There must be nothing to argue about, right?"
"This theme song is clearly intended to express that Wolong has taken off, and I, the mighty Tianlong, will surely conquer the world."
"Hiss, I understand. Riot Games is trying to sow discord and divide our Fanshan Team, Jianzhi Team and Tianlong Team."
"Representatives from the Chinese class came uninvited. Everyone first read the title of the theme song, carefully figured out the central idea of the creator, understood the meaning of the work, and then distinguished the layers of the song's paragraphs..."
"This song is so brainwashing that every time I say 'RISE' it always sounds like 'RICE'. I think it's quite suitable to be the theme song of the canteen. It's a thief!"
"Damn it, this group of talented people are so busy watching games right now?"
"Please stop guessing, the official MV has been released. It is clear at a glance who is the protagonist, who is the supporting role, and who is a passerby."
When the MV version of the theme song was released, a lot of players jumped in.
At the beginning of the MV, an extremely handsome face appeared in the animation screen.
Although the artist's skill failed to portray one-tenth of Wolong's handsomeness, the audience still recognized him at a glance.
There's nothing I can do about it, Wolong's looks are so good, he looks like he stepped out of a comic book.
The endless wilderness is filled with the smoke of war.
Broken flags, broken weapons, and corpses everywhere reveal the cruelty of this war.
Eagle-eyed viewers spotted many details in the background, such as the flag with the EDG team logo, the tombstone engraved with the Lightning Wolf pattern, the armor with the G2 coat of arms, etc.
Obviously, this is telling the story of last year's global finals.
In the picture, Wolong embarks on a journey alone and gathers a group of warriors along the way.
Seeing those familiar faces, 60e burst into tears.
Don't kill, don't kill!
Everyone overcame obstacles, defeated many powerful opponents, and climbed the mountain with difficulty.
The field of view broadened, and the bird's nest-shaped platform came into view, with several huge summoner stone statues standing in the center.
Each Summoner stone statue is holding a crystal ball in both hands, and the team logo of the previous S championships is brightly lit on the crystal ball.
This is the realm of gods, and only those who can become gods can leave their names.
However, in the divine realm where mortals should have stopped, a bespectacled man carrying a rune scroll and holding a rune book passed by.
The three shining star emblems on the chest carry supreme honor and glory.
The god standing on the top of the mountain is none other than Faker!
Facing the supreme god, Wolong resolutely launched a challenge.
Faker closed the rune book, and the shadow of Ryze rose up behind him.
After a fierce battle, the gods were knocked off the altar by the mortals.
Wolong took off the badge that symbolized his identity, and the crystal ball in the hand of a summoner stone statue in the divine domain seemed to respond to something, slowly lighting up.
A bright red team logo became clearly visible, that was the name of the Godslayers, Team WE!
Since then, the MV has completely reproduced the entire process of last year's global finals.
But the MV does not end here, there is nearly a quarter of the content behind it.
The warriors who left behind legends said goodbye to each other, and Wolong also put on his robe and hood and stayed away from this wilderness.
Until one day, a powerful wave of runic energy came from the sky.
That terrifying Ryze shadow once again enveloped a higher mountain.
God will be injured, God will bleed, but God will not die!
Wolong embarked on a new journey again, gathered new partners, and set off towards the mountain peak again.
Familiar figures flashed from time to time along the way, and finally the screen returned to black as the camera rose.
After watching the MV, all the players were very excited and felt that the quality of this MV was very high.
Sure enough, Riot Games is a music company that has been delayed by the game business!
"The moment Brother Li appeared, I had goosebumps. He is the only true god designated by Riot!"
"What's wrong with God? Wolong will still kill you for you to see."
"To be honest, using a mortal body to challenge the gods, isn't this MV more popular than "Boruto"?"
"Pfft, this 300-pound vn is too much, I stepped on the horse and split it!"
"Na na na, in the last shot, the one holding the Braum shield in the corner is my little treasure, right?"
"I'm still wondering, who is the person carrying the spear? Then I thought, oh, it looks like a spear from a skateboard shoe, so I infer that the person is Brother Sha!"
"I saw Yue Lun, are you sure this calamity is not a shrimp or a pig's heart?"
"WE fans burst into tears. Sure enough, poverty is the original sin. Is it too late for me to steal batteries to support the club?"
"I understand, let's kill Faker alone!"
"Wolong has more roles than Brother Li, and he can be said to be a well-deserved protagonist. Everyone puts their cards on the public screen."
"Seeing that the four pieces of rune paper scattered when Brother Li was knocked off the altar, I seriously suspect that he was hinting at the other four members of SKT last year."
"Wolong: Come on, brothers, shoulder to shoulder! Brother Li: Where are my teammates?"
……
The release of the theme song just right heats up the atmosphere of the global finals.
A few days later, the finals officially kicked off.
During the National Day holiday, many loyal players and fans rushed to Kimchi Country to cheer for LPL’s third seed IG.
This year's finalists have added many new faces, but most of them are familiar faces.
LCS third seed C9, LMS third seed GRX, GMB from the CIS region, ASC from the Southeast Asia region, etc.
Overall, there are very few teams that can pose a threat to IG in the playoffs.
This year, North American Light C9 has become much weaker after Ohgi left. However, the competitive status of cross-dressing giant Sneaky has become more and more popular with his cosplay career.
Europe's third seed, VIT, is quite unfamiliar to the domestic audience. In fact, its strength is about the same as making up the numbers.
Normally, as long as IG plays steadily and advances to the group stage, it is a sure thing.
