1 - 00:08 We start the story at Mapo High School. Faker (left) and Deft (back right) went to the same high school, but unlike in the clip, they did not share the same class. Years later, these two teenagers would be pitted against each other in the most epic final in League of Legends history. 2 - 00:22 We see Deft with the blue power-up and Faker with the Baron. It's a reference to the level difference in the early years of their careers. Faker entered the scene from the top. Deft had years of climbing ahead of him. In the clip, we focus on Deft's struggle. 3 - 00:49 2013. Deft at his computer. Faker was competing at Worlds for the first time in his career, while Deft had to watch the tournament from home. On the right side we see Jinx and Vi posters. Jinx debuted before Worlds 2013. 4 - 00:58 We're at Worlds 2014. Samsung Blue vs Samsung White matchup. We see Pawn (Jayce) hunting Deft (Lucian). Deft's first Worlds adventure ends in the semi-finals. 5 - 01:11 Worlds 2015! Deft is wearing an EDG jersey, with Meiko. The opponent is Fnatic with Rekkles! FNC pushes EDG out of the tournament. Deft's quarterfinal curse that will last for years begins here. This curse would ironically be broken against Meiko. 6 - 01:22 After 2015 we skip a bit fast and don't see another Worlds reference until 2020. During this period Deft: > EDG / Worlds 2016: Lost to ROX in the quarterfinals. > KT / Worlds 2017: Did not participate > KT / Worlds 2018: Lost to IG in the quarterfinals. > KZ / Worlds 2019 : Did not participate. 7 - 01:31 Worlds 2020! DWG vs DRX quarterfinal matchup. On the DRX side, we see Doran and Keria. Let's put these two old friends on the list. On the DWG side, we have Canyon and ShowMaker. Deft says goodbye to Worlds for the 4th time in the quarterfinals. 8 - 02:18 We don't see Worlds 2021, but let's remember that in that tournament Deft lost to T1, also in the quarterfinals. He was wearing the HLE jersey. The scene below is a reference to the formation of the DRX 22 roster. Zeka, Pyosik, Beryl and Kingen pick Deft up from the ground. 9 - 02:22 And now we're at Worlds 2022. No one would be surprised if DRX didn't make it to Worlds. They had a very bad season. They started the championship from the preliminary round and there was no team that came from the preliminary round and became champions. Their rise begins. Time to visit old friends! 10 - 02:25 Worlds 2022 - Quarter Final DRX vs EDG Deft versus his old friend Meiko. It's goodbye to the quarterfinal curse! DRX wins 3-2. Deft is back in the semifinals after 2014! + EXTRA Although not mentioned in the clip, what made this scene epic was the fact that Meiko and EDG had won Worlds the previous year. Deft and Meiko had once dreamed of this together, and Meiko's dream had come true long before. 11 - 02:38 Worlds 2022 - Semi Final DRX vs GEN This time we are witnessing Deft vs Doran. The score is 3-1, Deft and DRX are in the final! 12 - 02:48 And finally, the finale! Deft faces off against his younger brother Keria. After the loss at Worlds 2020, Deft moved on with DRX and Keria went to T1. T1 is the most prestigious team in the world and has the greatest player in the world: FAKER! 13 - FINAL 03:30 Faker is a legend, Deft is a name that has been away from success for years. T1 is the biggest in this world and DRX is just an underdog. In these circumstances, we watched the most epic final in history and the most unexpected thing happened. DRX is the champion! (not mine but match this with the original video's time and it breakdown the whole story of Deft)
Also, the sinking into the dark depths after the 2020 loss signified the darkest point of his career. He lost his conviction and questioned if he was really good enough to complete. After the 2021 loss he even was on the verge of retiring until that 2022 roster helped him stand back up and find his conviction to rise to the top again.
One more thing to note is the fact that 2022 was supposed to be the last year for Deft. Young men in Korea must join the army for some time. He could not delay it for longer so Worlds 2022 was supposed to be his last dance. Thanks to the fact that he won, he managed to get permission to play for one more year, though

The video depicts the player Deft as the main character and his journey to winning his first ever worlds title (He was planning on retiring but ended up winning) It's basically shows past failures and how he was able to rise above it all, the final fight between him/his team and the two player was the final fight of the worlds he won, it was 5v2 (that year in regional league T1 went undefeated and where favourites to win) where they beat Keira (His previous teammate, the one with the shield who protected him) and Faker, who is one of, if not the best player to ever touch League of Legends, who Deft also went to high school with.
I'll try to giv the best context to the videos as I can. The video is follow the story of a pro player called Deft and his long journey to winning is first world championship. In the highschool sence we see Deft and on the far left (The guy with glasses) another pro play called Faker, who is cosidered the best player to eve play LoL. Then we see them both as charaters, Deft on Ezreal and Faker on Zed, this also shows them both starting their pro careers in 2013. Deft is on a team called MVP Blue, he did not qualify for worlds that year, Faker on the other hand won worlds on a team called SKT T1k, this is the start of a rivalry between them both. We also see Deft killing a blue buff (a minor minon in LoL) and we see Faker killing a baron nashor (purple worm thing that gives a game ending buff), this could referecne how both of their careers started. In the next major sence we skip to worlds 2014 where we see Deft playing Lucian and he is being hunted down by PawN who is playing Jayce. Deft was on Samsung blue (SSB) this year and PawN was on Samsung white (SSW), the sister team to SSB, when PawN slams his hammer down on Deft it mimics the play which resulted in SSB being eliminated from worlds in the Semifinals in a 3-0 blow out also leading SSW to in worlds that year. The following sence we see Deft standing back to back with his former teammate Meiko, this takes place at worlds in 2015. Deft is playing Sivir and Meiko is playing Thresh they both play on a tem called Edward gaming (EDG). The player who appears is called Rekkles who was playing for Fnatic in 2015. Rekkles is playing Kennen and the sence ends with Rekkles using his ultimate and eliminating EDG from worlds in 2015 during the quaterfinals in a 3-0 blow out, Fnatic did not win worlds though, Faker and SKT T1 won worlds making him a 2 time world chamiopn. The 360 shot with all the effect flying around are going throgh the years of 2016-2019 where Deft either didnt qualify for worlds or was eliminated. Side note in 2016 SKT T1 won a 3rd world championship making Faker and is teammate Bengi the only 3 time world chamiopns and making SKT T1 the only team to win 3 world titles and 2 world titles in a row. The secne on the ice takes place during worlds 2020, we see Deft on Senna while playing on a team called DRX. Then we see Doran jump down in front of Deft, Doran is playing Jax (Doran is the guy with the lampost as a wepon). Then we see a play called Canyon who is playing Graves (player in the blue tracksuit with the gun) slide past Doran as shot Deft, after that we see Showmaker on his iconic Syndra (blue tracksuit with all the purple orbs around him). Showmaker uses Syndra ultiamte to try and finish of Deft but Keria, whos is playing Braum (Shield guy), jumps in the way blocking the ult however Showmaker kills Deft in the end. Showmaker and Canyon play on a team called DWG KIA, DWG eliminates DRX in the quaterfinas in a 3-0 blow out. DWG went on to win worlds in 2020. I also want to point out the shot were we see Deft crying could be referencing his emtional inteview during worlds 2022 where on his birthday he won is first quaterfinals since 2014 and when the interview asked "it has been 2942 days since you made the last semifinal what does it mean to finally be back?" before he could respond he broke down crying in front of the crowd and the interviewer and the people watching the livestream. In the ending part of the video we see Deft's teammates lifting him up to his feet, Kingen, Pyosik, Zeka, Deft and Beryl make up DRX in 2022. They barely qualify for worlds and have to go through play-ins, during play-in DRX go undefeated and move on to the group stage, the scene were DRX is coming up on the platfrom in the arena represents their climb through play-ins. The person standing in front of Deft in the red, black and white jacket is his former teamate Meiko who is still on EDG and the year prior he won worlds, Deft his holding axes as during game 3 of the quaterfinals EDG was up 2-0 and was looking to beat DRX in a clean 3-0. Deft locked in Draven (champ with the axes) up to this point in time Deft had never won on Draven in his whole career, however Deft was able to win the game and lead DRX to a 3-2 reverse sweap win agasint EDG and defeating his former teammate. Then we see Deft playing Varus in the semifinals (the bow on his back) and behind him appears another old teammate Doran who is on GEN G. Doran is so big as he is playing a champion call Renekton and Renekton's ult makes him big, after a clear 3-1 DRX beat GEN G and move on to the finals. At the finals Deft who is playing Caitlyn (big sniper) runs into another former teammate Keria, Keria who is now on T1 (formerly SKT T1) is playing Karma (green dragons behind his head). Deft get the upper hand and during game 5 with DRX and T1 as 2-2 it all looks to be over and it looks like DRX are going to win, then out of nowhere one more fimilar face shows up, Faker the unkillable demon king himself shows up playing Viktor (Staff with the blue energy). Faker then gets the upper hand of Deft and it looks like once again Faker has out done Deft. Then like angels from heaven the rest of DRX shows up, Kingen on Aatrox (big red sword), Pyosik on Hecarim (Silver Glaive), Zeka on Azir (guy with the gold staff who puts up the wall) and Beryl on Bard (The guy on the right of Deft with the green instrament on his shoulder). Deft then ends with by using Caitlyn ult. After this DRX wins worlds and Deft gets his first title ater starting in 2013 and DRX gets a cinderella story and are also the only team to win worlds after coming from play-ins. Also the wining scene as the pick up the trophy are all mataching the irl bordcast and reactions At the very end we see other pro players looking at the trophy wanting to win it in order we see: Ayu on the left and Hans Sama on the right. Next frame we see Blaber on the left and Josedeodo on the far right. next sence we see 369 on the left catching the dice and Choovy behind him. The next frame has Levi, Azhi and Yutapoon as shown on their jackets. sorry for this being so long I tried to make it all as clear as possible!! :3
League of legends has so many content for you to react, and lots of fans to guide you if you dive in ! They can prepare lists for you so you watch the right videos first and all !
The story of the video follows a pro player (Deft) over the years of his career - as mentioned in other comments. I'd recommend you to watch Rise from 2018 worlds championship. Not only the song is a complete total banger, but the story is based on the same thing - it follows a player and the struggles and other teams he had to defeat in order to win! Thank you for your reaction! NewJeans totally surprised with this
OMG I Love seeing new people get into the world of League of Legends. Even if you never play the rift, the game has a lot of other content to offer. HOURS of cinematics and music videos, quite a few OTHER games that are tied into the League Universe, as well as AMAZING world tournaments. I would love to make up a video list if no one else has done so but be forewarned. It's longgg at this point XD
Great react! YES, there are plenty of other music videos like this for the other World Championships as well, this one in particular is meant to re-tell the story of Faker ( he's the Cristiano Ronaldo/Messi of League) and Deft, more so Deft, you see they were never really friends but they went to the same high school and were the top players, both had sucess professionally but Faker raise up to become the GOAT of this game while having tremendous sucess both domestically and internationally, having won already 3 World Championships, while Deft being regarded as a great player too found only struggle in his attempts at Worlds, this video showcases his hard fought battles that would only result in failure but with a twist in the end, because the Worlds from last year was meant to tell a different story, the story of Deft and DRX ( his team), crazy underdogs from Korea that would have the performance of their lives throughout the tournament, reaching the finals against T1 ( Faker's team). And right there on the biggest stage of all Deft and DRX won their 1st international event! The other music videos are amazing too so you should react to them. There's also an opening ceremony before every Worlds Championship Finals, also VERY GOOD with the song from the music video being the main event of the opening and performed live, so would love to see you react to those as well (2018 and 2019 are probably the best)!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME!!!! I AM A BIG LEAGUE PLAYER HACK IN THE DAY AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO ONE OF THE WORLDS SONG AND THE FACT THAT ITS THE NEWEST IS THE BEST!!! Context: The characters in the MV are the Pro Players and it is centered to one of the oldest to never win Deft. his grind starting from a nobody to becoming one of the exciting players to watch despite not being able to win a Worlds Championship Title until last year. the hardships, the team swaps and team changes, everything that he had done to reach the Finals yet fall short from all his previous attempt to win the title until he made it to the top.
@velocityofcl 4:46 its about the journey of Deft in LoL esports from the beggining of his career to last year where he won the world 2022 championship with his team DRX, in the video you can see that during his career he played with some players in different teams that became his enemy. Until last year i belive, Deft could not make it past quarter finals. His defeat are well represented in the video. And at the end where we can see the trophy its just the player who are looking for the trophy in the upcoming 2023 event
PLEASE listen to more league music! People make jokes about Riot being a music company over a game company because of how good their music are, and it's super varied as well. You can find so many different genres, and if you like kpop they have a virtual kpop group called "K/DA" that you would enjoy too. I hope you check out more of their Worlds songs!
You should react to the video called ,,how underdogs made League of Legends history" and to Arcane also. It' so great. For songs i recomend ,, legends never die" and ,,rise" and also Worlds opening ceremony espacially from 2019 and 2017. This is already a lot so i will stop but there's so much more.😂😂😂and sorry for my English
You should watch other World Songs, they have done multiple others and they’re all amazing, personal request would be Phoenix, Rise, Burn it all down or Take Over
Almost all League Worlds themes mvs depict real players and real championships that happened. U should definitely check them all. The animations and music are always really great
So, I red the comments and I didnt find anyone to give you the context. The song is about Deft(the charaxter who in the end wins) and his Nemesis Faker(the one with the glasses who killed the giant violet monster in the beginning). They went to school together and while Faker was already winning the previous championship Deft was always behind him and in the end in 2022 he make it to the top(and become immortal, from that the line in the song). Plus, Keria is the guy with the big shield who died saving Deft from the violet balls in the middle of the song, keria was in the same team as Deft, but in 2022(when deft had the finals vs the team with Faker) Keria was in the enemy team! He was the guy on the floating rock with the green power and the "thing" behind his shoulders...so they faced each other even if the year before they were Allies... In the video you can see Faker saving Keria(He js the one with the blasting wand and a machine arm on the shoulder) but Deft and his team finnaly win. "Anyone read this underdog story?" Thats a line meant to the whole story behind the actual events... More, Faker is considered the most good and successful player of league. I tried to made it short, I hope now you can feel the vibes in there! Really, the songs hit WAY harder if you know the true story! Have fun! Melissa
Oooh, you definitely need to watch other clips from League of Legends. These are masterpieces. Be sure to watch Pop Star and More from KDA (this is a virtual female group of the League of Legends), another video from True Damage (also a group from the League. There is such rap🔥)
Riot animations are crazy and if you wish to check a nice video and get some lore they have a champion voice lines videos. I would heavily recommned you check out Pantheons.
the joke we have as league of legends fans is "riot is a music company that made a video game to promote their music". yea its a joke but you go in this rabbit hole we love you might see some truth in that joke.
Just stumbled upon your League of Legends reactions. You’re ready to watch everything league? I’m ready to subscribe and also I have my first recommendation for you: go watch all the “Star Guardian” related stuff, you’ll love it!
Wow!! Welcome aboard! Glad you're enjoying the League reactions as much as I am doing them haha! Thank you for watching and for the recommendations! Genuinely can't wait to do more :D
Faker and Deft made their debut at the same time in 2013, but Faker did better and Deft was out of the spotlight.. That's why last year's Worlds was so touching
so i hope you read this, you are getting a lot of context but missing the most emotional context. last year at worlds DRX Deft's team, was the massive underdogs, they made a miracle run to finals at worlds that year and managed to take down the best team to do so. HOWEVER , Deft had said that he would retire after worlds 2022 if his team didnt win, becuase the constant heartbreak and loss was heavily weighing him down in his life. and that was said i think start of summer split, or start of worlds. and they came in as a 4th place seed to worlds that year. and took the title.
