Video kinda mid? Where's the Ruler Azir scoop & the T1 vs LPL mega battle in their home country. Their story is so fire & it feels like they hardly touched on it in the video

Completely agree, thats what I was looking for the most. Last year they did something like that with DRX's run, T1 would've been hype too.

Yeah, felt like they were more focused on showing recognizable faces than telling the story of last worlds.

Even than why did we watch animated caps leblanc and linkin park members over T1 vs LPL narrative lol

u/Mew_T Zeus Canyon Caps Carzzy Rekkles 17h ago

I have no idea, honestly. I guess they wanted to change the formula a bit. The Azir shuffle on Ruler was such a hype play, this video felt like a huge missed opportunity.

LP was in half of the video. HEAVY IS LP EGO!!

u/meggles_ 17h ago

That's because they weren't telling the story of last worlds. They are looking forward to this worlds, thats why they show T1 leaving the crown on the throne for the next winners, exiting their castle to defend their title against the first seed teams from each region

we got 5 seconds of that on the banner in the beginning lmao, wished they focused on the story of 2023 more too.

Atleast they gave homage to it in the first few seconds of the video

I liked the velvet tapestry with iconic scenes of last year.

JDG weren’t even in this at all, just genuinely baffling that so many potentially incredible storylines were just wasted for what?

u/NommySed REVERT ALL REWORKS 16h ago

Too much band, wasted potential and the songs shit for a worlds anthem.

u/Lambsio 13h ago

While on the surface it looks like a generic "oh T1 has the crown now", the song and last third of the video are all about faker. The castle is the former glory of his accomplishments, he's alone there because he's the only T1 member left, it's dark because of his mental struggles. The crown is heavy but he puts it down, meaning he breaks free from the pressure put on him by all of the above.

The Ruler Azir scoop is at the begging of the video on the banner. This is not a depiction of last years worlds, it's them having the crown and defending it after they won. So this year's worlds.

Whoever thought this was a good concept needs to get fired lol. Which one is easier to creative a compelling narrative around? A tournament that has yet to happen, or last tournament with so many great moments and a great narrative of T1 vs the LPL gauntlet. They already did this kind of thing with Rise, GODS, and I thought those videos were excellent. All the videos trying to hype the current tournament were uninspired,. Those videos just have random champions fighting, aside from Phoenix which I thought was done well in this style. But even Phoenix I thought was less hype than those 2.

u/Shadowsw4w 17h ago

who ever make this what IF narrative need to be fired because they already have great narrative but instead making garbage like this.

u/Jansen__ 17h ago

Literally the first thing you see in the banner

u/deltapai 17h ago

Mid? Its straight up garbage. At least deft got to shoot his rifle.

u/alexnedea 1h ago

Its in the banner at the beginning. This video is happening now, its t1 defending the crown after they won last year.

u/VladBarbuRo 17h ago

i think the video is about this year and not 2023. Because only this year t1 "has the crown" because they're defending champs. also there is a Red Canids banner (not at worlds 2023), riot probably expected Red Canids to be at worlds.

You can see it at the start of this video . The red banner is describing how T1 congquered Lpl
