Worlds 2022 Finals Opening Ceremony Presented by Mastercard ft. Lil Nas X, Jackson Wang & Edda Hayes 

AS LUX IM DEAD edit: hold up is this actually lux's outfit i just noticed the armor

K'Sante*

@@ThatOneCWhite my mind said "huh it looks like Armor of the Fifth Age Taric" XDD

definitely in character tho lol I feel like nobody but him would do that

Lmao me too HAHAHA...

Thats Jackson Wang!! He's a K-pop Idol from GOT7 and currently working on Solo Projects :DD

Jackson wang .he is chinese artist

chinese in korea yes@@helloannyeonghaseyo3372

Thats Jackson mf Wang. He's a killer performer.

@@reiou why he supports china even though he born in HongKong? If he supports China for money, I can understand him enoughly 😂

yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss

And he's consistent too. That's a real mark of talent. Anyone can one hit wonder, but to consistently deliver fun, interesting songs with their own feel... he's definitely got real talent.

Will be honest with you even tho I will always think this song doesn’t hit as hard as most other world songs with the hype and the thrill of final tournaments it’s still really good and well done

@@ukraineakshan946 personally i think the song fits well with worlds 22 after the outcome with DRX the underdog winning

The Call was pretty sick as well

"Report pyke cant even press r when enemy bar is red"

Not that special, enemy team always survives my pyke ults

but bro didnt we hear star walkind 2918-2-9 times very time i open the clint -w- i kinda miss when its silent

@@Sadly1tsNoah bro there's a button to mute the music in the top right

This dude has a great presence.

there were 70 53 foot trailers for this show!!!

@@THoffLights and approximately 380,000 pounds hanging in the air…2,700 LED video panels, 2000 lighting fixtures, 400 rigging points, 24 35k lumen projectors…I’m sure I’m missing a few other bits of trivia….

More like the company they hired to do the event. They're not just gonna suddenly enter showbiz and start designing stages and sets for one event they only do yearly

@@shivamarya5225 like only if hiring a company would be enough to get this...

@@helderduarte213 no but its not like they started arranging the stage themselves and putting it up without any prior experience. 100% They hired some concert and events company

Jackson wang 🙏

Lil nas x

Jackson Wang is really good he has a company Team Wang really good videos good acting!

You are aware that it was playback right?

his songs are rly good too !!

Honestly hands down 2019 was probably the best of the openings because it used its AR/CGI well, Riot keeps misusing it by making AR/CGI perform the whole performance take a look at the catastrophe of the 2020 opening, but the 2019 opening used it as an effect to amplify aspects of the performance in a way thats impactful and gone fast enough for the audience to remain in awe before they notice any issues in the effect.

​@cempur7599 day late comment but 2019 and 2022 used a projection onto a see through mesh. The mesh would catch the projections making a hologram effect. I prefer this over the AR stuff cause even the live audience can see them. Also it blends better with the performances it was used in.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this year's was not as good.

only the first 5 mins of 2022 were better than 2023.

i agree, 2023 opening was not great

I just got into his songs a few months ago and I’d say it’s very suited to my taste. I’m very picky when it comes to listening to songs and me liking a song says a lot about the artist.

@@almendriaflorentino humble urself

@@almendriaflorentino The artist must truly owe you a lot 🙄

@@CommentaryWtihCarmine How is that bad though. I'm just saying I am very picky when it comes to music. Did water get somehow into your brain and stopped you from comprehending a proper sentence?

@@Ahmer46 you need to learn how to read and comprehend properly if you're going to call me out on something that is not problematic. It just means that I have a refined taste and doesn't just listen to any artist unless they give me something interesting. bobo.

definitely not one of the best. it was good but meh for riot standards

@@defectivepikachu4582 well if u look at lil nas as the counter part. Then yes one of the very best xD like mate the dances were miles apart :)

@@defectivepikachu4582 considering that more than half of Riot ceremonies performances are singer standing still and letting the tech team work their magic (which is perfectly fine, 2018 and 2019 ceremonies are my favorites), having an artist dancing, singing and delivering a good performance with a whole different ambiance on stage is what I would qualify in my book as one of the best performances in LoL ceremonies But I can understand if it's not your cup of tea

@@defectivepikachu4582 People have selective memories. 2021 was good but ruined by covid. 2020 had nothing to offer and was generally considered underwhelming. 2019 had the amazing holoscreen tech that they replicated here. 2018's Rise was sung off tune. 2017 had a cool dragon, but main singer had a hard time hitting those high notes on a public stage.

@@Cruxispal 2018 had kda and in 2017 it wasnt that he couldnt hit the notes that he already hit before in the song that he made, his mic just wasnt loud enough and was being drowned out

G DRAGON KING ,

Jackson Wang is a truly incredible experience.

What is our role in the lore? Sorry for my bad english grammar by the way?

@@andrjsjan4231 Not sure, but we are the creators/summoners of the champions in League. In the old lore the player also got called a summoner. I dont know if the purpose of that is already known or not, I think the whole summoner idea was scrapped or is not getting used anymore.

@@Lyu-Phy That's not canon anymore

@@andrjsjan4231 there is none. Riot scrapped it all. Reason for the new trophy

​@@shoxcodes Actually, the biggest reason for the new trophy is that the original Summoner's Cup weighed 70-freaking-pounds (32 kg). For comparison, the NHL's Stanley Cup is 34.5 lbs (16 kg) and the collegiate American football's Heisman Trophy weighs 45 lbs (20 kg) - trophies expected to be hoisted high by physical athletes. Riot has mentioned it was a mistake making it so heavy, as many players struggled to handle it on stage with grace. The new trophy weighs 44 lbs...

i can tell u liked it, you made atleast 3 comments only talking about him lol..

@@uk1yo She's a Jackson Stan, they will swarm the comment section of every video about him. His performance was good as he managed to dance and sing at the same time which isn't easy.

@@uk1yo was about to comment the same thing, 3 comments of the same person only talking about jackson hahhah

@@smashrosa8111 this is lipsync. Nothing live about these performance besides lil nas x opening line.

​@@iwantmmore I noticed after, the grand final was late in the night where I live.

u truly are dry

It was ok

Well at least it was better than last year (was it last year?) With the whole pandemic Galio - KDA disaster

@@GReyn last year was the awesome arcane event, the weird cgi was the 2020 one

@@uns33nbois81 oh yeah my bad.. i meant that one.. that was probably the worst world event..

He was in playback 😂

@@ggiuam24 everyone was lol

@@ggiuam24 everyone does playback in the world finals since 2018, lmao u tried

G DRAGON KING -

Playblack

Vocal?? He performance is good , energy, dance beautiful, deep actin yes i agree. But when you considered King at vocal. Then i wonder how many male singer you was listening

This is RIOT's production are u 70 iq

It is exactly the same when you open the game, pretty obvious they just play the cd

He's trash imo

You jinxed it man

@@albi7894 :(

Fucl yeaaaag

this aged well

@@arcadia8017 No it didn't 💀

Totally agree!

G DRAGON KING ...

Yep! Loved it...!!! ♥♥♥

Dude is extremely talented, and yeah... he owns a stage when he's on it. there are very few game companies that put this much love back into the community.

Sameee since the first time I heard it

Who are you talking about?

@@Katarinq I'm sure they're talking about the second performer, Jackson Wang

@@the_teri Yes. Thanks

@@Katarinq Yes I mean Jackson Wang. Thanks.

he hasnt been hidden at all hes been widely popular for many years...

G DRAGON KING ,

ye i bet like a WHOLE WEEK

I also loved both of them but the 2022 one left it at a high level.

@Subbing To Everyone Who Subs To Me ты проклят. И это проклятие ты никак не снимешь.

In 2010 when my friend download league of legends on my computer I never expected Riot games would turn out like this

Big W

@@hukmai Must be crazy when you've been there since the start where everything was super wonky and weird looking still. My friends and I joined at the end of december in 2016 and despite not having been here as long these performances still hit deep. I believe mostly because they really make the characters and the world feel alive which is a fantasy most of us only felt during our childhood.

@@jos-josradvanji6203 tell me about it, the two games my friend said to try back in 2009-2010 League of legends Mincecraft ($21.79 euros to usd LOL) Look at them now...crazy

G DRAGON KING ...

They reinvest their profits back into the game than just cash out

@@noproblematallmate um.. ok..?

Ikr

cringe

@@akaliotp6766 ?

same WTF 😢

agree, i came for the same reason

I keep rewatching his performance ngl

2022 and 2023 were one of the best, Riot is only improving year by year!

@@VaMage2023 was so embarrassing had to come here to refresh my eyes

@@peruperaoOolegit

dead game. only downhill from here on

@@edhahaz Peak player numbers and competitive viewer counts. League is thriving more than ever.

2019 is best btw

Last year was insane yeah, game amazing as possible, and so high level from both teams

True, i really liked how this worlds ended because it fits Star Walkin. Although it's also true that if you listen to it without this context it doesn't really sound as a world's anthem haha

tbh i think the part that made it good live was the guitar solo part near the end

@@ethanjow6531 Definitely

I think that the lack of reaction is due to the song being very new :) fans had only a few days to get familiar with it. It's not like the Call or Star Walkin that are already very well known.

@@cheylahnwe agreed! i hadn't heard jackson's before but i've been listening to star walkin on repeat for the last week or so. jackson was AMAzING

the song had only been out for a few days! same with edda hayes's song

I was there and the crowd went crazy when Jackson showed up. This stream doesn't do the performance justice

@@Reaper0143 This, I was there as well, the crowd went wild for most of the performance. They don't include it on stream all of the time because you need to hear the music ;)

The voices ❤️❤️❤️ from playback 🥵🥵🥵

@@bartosz3153 recorded by him☺️then always his voice💓

@@ericadomizio1896 tell him lol

@@ericadomizio1896 It just doesn't feel the same when the singer isn't even singing their song live. That's my issue. The voice is so modified in post that when they playback it genuinely loses all passion and just sounds like they hit play. now he is just pretending to sing the song. We want to hear the imperfections and the singers voice POP in the mix. Starwalkin isn't hype enough to just hit play

For me it was boring and kinda mehhh. They are getting worse every year and pls dont call lil nas anymore he is so bad

Killed it in the worst way possible

2023 better

That’s amazing, like your heart was bursting with happinesses when your two worlds collided, love Jackson so much ❤
