The storytelling is just CRAZY. The tako that they won from the claw machine (00:23) when they were kids (it shows them dropping it but the sequence ends with ONE MORE token being put in), ends up being their LAN garage padlock key (1:30) and Handfool presumably still holds on to it (2:41). The spin move that broke his ankles (00:28) ends up inspiring him to make a move in game (2:44). The shot-calling of his friend (1:01) ends up inspiring him to call his own shots (2:42). He even has the same stretch his friend has (1:34) (2:33). He pastes the 'ONE MORE' tape (2:22) as a substitute for the banner he has in his room (1:50) which originally came from the LAN garage (1:12) (3:06). All to show that even though they have all moved on with their lives, he is still representing them on the biggest stage. Also loved the reference to FNATIC's 3-11 scoreline comeback at 0:24. Just a simple nod to a great moment in valorant. Credit for Alderic for the Analyse.
Love this type of breakdown; trust me the Easter eggs with grow extensively as time goes on The list for worlds anthems is 50 lines deep per song at this point
Im so glad I wasnt the only one that noticed he learned everything from his friends and carries it with him to the big leagues not forgetting about them and got him where he is now
Everytime I watch Ticking Away, such a huge smile appears on my face, but I don't know there's always sadness too. Like, I miss Jingg, Thats' who I'm remembering everytime I watch this!!!
It's like you're climbing up all the time, and when u look back, there's your friends right there supporting you all the way. That's makes me so emotional. Hope every player will get their achievements this time!
Really liked this reaction because its really not a guy just sitting there and letting the video play but really giving comentary and thought on it, very well done. Are there plans for you to react to Die for you (VCT Champions 2021 Song) and/or Fire again (VCT Champions 2022 Song)?
i enjoy this song so much more than some of the past worlds song i wish they would give grabbitz a world song he has prove himself with his past vct champs songs. Also i like how valorant does vct skins league should do the same they feel special and worth getting unlike the world yearly skin
Yeah the VCT Champions skin bundle is night and day different than the champion skins that we get in LoL. The Worlds bundles are nice in game but I don't feel like we've truly had the chance to flex our customization on our fandom other than icons
@@DavidSzajnuk what do you think about chnaging the loading background of the champ skin change based on the team icon you got equiped like if i had the jdg icon the splash art of the skin changes to jdg theme idk if they could do it becauss of how bad the client is
4:46 I love your reaction when you figure out the story of the video. Also, this music video really showed the melancholy of a pro player pushing forward while your friends who are with you in the beginning move on in their lives, with you remaining to achieve that dream.
The one that ended pro also is the product of this friendship, he learns so much from his friends and this is what made him able to so far. He is the one that value their friendship the most, proof being the character he play 😄, the writing is exceptionnal.
Similar story, much better song (sorry to my die hard warriors fans, I've got the unpopular opinion that it's not a good song. It's just a good memory for OG league fans)
I Like how The key chain they were trying to grab from the arcade machine and failed but then they put another token and they cut the clip right after but later on u can see that they won it, and then he was playing basketball with his teammate and she did a move that made him fall to the ground and later in the video he remembered his friend move and used it to dodge in game, also he even stretch's his arms the same way one of his friends did. I mean wow the level of details in the story telling in the video is so damn brilliant and the music is so good it's perfect, this is probably one of the best video/music if not the best they ever did. WP Riot WP - and great video man keep going never give up
I think riot's music team could learn from your feedback and reaction, also I agree with your opinion on the league songs aiming for the direction that Ticking Away achieved but they didn't , and also how league players actually really want this feeling of 'triumph' or ''achieving' in what they thought might not have been possible, for the lack of better words. This song grew on me, as much as I love RISE and Legends never die, this has risen up there for me too. (i play both games)
If it's not for you, It's all good brother. That's why preference exist and i'm happy for you to enjoy different things about val rather than just the game. Kinda like like league for me with all of it's own media.
I’ve got emotional watching it. Please react to valorant’s ost like “die for you”, “only good things”, “fire again” etc.. also the cinematics are absolutely stunning so pls consider reacting to them too
Really enjoyed this reaction, and just wanted to give you a shoutout for the dedication to this channel - that is a lot of consistent videos without the views that effort deserves. I'd recommend you try more thumbnail optimization, and perhaps even consider starting a new channel that isn't weighed down in the algorithm by a long history of low engagement videos.
Won’t be starting a new channel, I can make this one grow as is evident by the last few months. It just takes time As for thumbnails, once I can monetize I’ll be getting help with thumbnails. I know that’s my biggest growth opportunity Takes time to break through but I’ve got the consistency and I’m working on improving every day
