[@emersonpacheco1068]

Definetly the best opening ceremony between all Champions events

[@tonitomonito]

Storylines were hype too, I didn’t know who I wanted to win knowing all the hard work both teams put in :(

[@ik4h]

honestly as good as world's considering this it's the 3rd year

[@bobby1392]

nuh uh

[@GokieShorts]

@@ik4hlate but, i wouldnt say its better than worlds YET. but this year with seoul being champions i imagine fans would go crazy because we are literally getting a kpop song

[@AyukaAmameth]

i realized the stage is designed like champions bundle finisher and at 13:17 its the moment when we go under the finisher the scene changes and we hear crowd screaming and the piano melody thats sick ong

[@Lupdida1]

i never noticed that, thats so cool

[@tonitomonito]

thanks for all the comments yall, some things I wanted to clear up the crowd was pretty loud during “greater than one” and “ticking away”, however during “re-Ignition” (second song) the crowd was definitely quieter since nobody knew the song. which was a shame since the effects and singers performances were incredible. My camera also didnt pick up the crowd at all, since it kept focusing with my zoom onto the stage.

[@etheriou5]

Thank you for clarifying. Really appreciate the effort you made for showing us this POV.

[@clevs-an]

what is your camera, thats so cool that it didn't pick up the crowd. btw thank you for this!

[@natsudragneel3431]

@@clevs-an Any mid-to-high price smartphone can do that actually.

[@DZAG_OFFICIAL]

Bruh I love what happens at 5:50. First person says, "LET'S GO PRX!" Two seconds later another guy says, "F**K PRX!" Trash talk at its finest between gamers.

[@kufa_heart]

riot be filming their music video live on stage.

[@ZuukiiKyuuzou]

Thanks for uploading, it's almost like the viewer is there, and this is probably an opening ceremony that's gonna be hard to beat ngl.

[@Arcane_Ayush]

to those who saying the crowd was lame , I don't think it , most of the time the audio of the crowd felt to be lowered and the times when it was silence was cuz of the hype moment in the video or the little picks that people would not like to ever miss! ( u can even feel in the video the audio focus )

[@jaym4k]

Eventhough my favourite didn't won this champions,but the is the sickest walk out and opening ceremony i ever seen

[@RainZ3dit0r]

I think the music did a huge part of hyping the event. The walkout is literally one of the best if not the best walkout of esports event in history! Still chills watching it back. W Riot!

[@jagoanmamino1]

I think for the walkout i prefer Masters Tokyo's Grand Final more

[@priyamdey324]

​@@jagoanmamino1ya we need the japanese announcer , his way of calling out was too epic

[@ILhamSandbari]

Thank you for having this view for us all, specifically for me since I didn't have the opportunity to watch it live on the venue. Wonderful experience, I wish to have the opportunity to watch it live for the upcoming vct

Anyone noticed the insane foreshadowing during >one - greater than one? The second the lyrics were supposed to go "First place, run it up, could care about what he feel", he walked into EG's room who won the Champs.
