League Of Legends Opening Ceremony 2019 Presented By MasterCard REACTION

1. The live audience could see these effects too. 2. The last song is Phoenix

tbh phoenix was the best one aside from true damage lol

Wow, I didn't know that, thx for letting us know dude!

[@baroro688]

I was in Paris and saw it live... It was insane. Also we all had wristbands with LED effects you can see it a bit

[@AgaliGavaya]

what an amazing experience !!!!! i REALLY LOVE HOW IT SEE

[@ovenchipp3475]

Damn that's lucky! I only just got to see my first event a few weeks ago at MSI! Would I be too intrusive to ask roughly how much a Worlds ticket is? I'm looking to go next year and was curious how much I'd have to set aside!

[@baroro688]

​@@ovenchipp3475I had tickets from a MasterCard manager friend of mine. They sponsor the opening ceremony. So I got backstage access and saw them rehearsing the ceremoney the day before the event. This "ticket" did cost about 100 euros (backstage, rehearsal and the games the next day)

[@ShaneThePwnageMaster]

Apparently this year you could actually see the effects on stage because, unlike the other years where they used AR, this year they were using holograms

[@reck6328]

Not really holograms, none of this is 3D. Its 2D projections.

[@mehdikhelil1411]

@@Kaylakaze Hey there ! I was inside the arena for the finals so I can give precisions on how they worked it. They used panels to make a screen cube PLUS panels around that cube and the stage to play with the impression of depth during the ceremony, that's what makes you believe it's 3D, but it's only 2D projections on panels. However, compared to the previous years, the "All Around the Stage" configuration of the AccorHotels Arena, while it creates a unique atmosphere, absolutely gorgeous when you are inside, is completely bad when it comes to do a show like this ceremony, as only the public who was in front of the singers could actually enjoy the whole ceremony correctly. It was rather good for the public facing them the other way around, but the people on the side could not see a lot. It's of course a production oriented for the streaming viewers, and the public inside the arena is there to create the epic atmosphere.

[@Brswing]

Not technically holograms. They used an SFX technique called Pepper's Ghost that has been around for quite a while. And although it is technically not 3D, the difference is that they were able to simulate 3D by going the extra mile. @Mehdi Khelil more or less sums it up perfectly. Truly a masterful display of effects. Other companies and organizations need to look at what Riot is doing.

[@grenvallion]

obv it's not actually holograms since we haven't even invented holograms yet lol. we're not quite there technologically yet. it's not too difficult for them to use boxes and projections though to make it look 3D

[@Three-Headed-Monkey]

The year where the song was Ignite also used a projection system like this as well. Not as well or as sophisticated as this, though!

[@Ruukasu97]

The audience could see it all. They used the same Technology that brings hatsune miku to life

[@DeanBarryStuff]

That’s amazing.

[@Alialun2]

Yeh, they used technology called holo-projection which is basically projecting hologram onto transparent pane. The difference between this and Hatsune Miku is that vocaloids use single pane while Riot used more than 2 layers on each side giving it more freedom to move in 3D.

[@pjalotta8571]

i really love how into this community you are despite not playing the game, really big props man for being apart of the community we call home. Keep up the good work

[@Adonna2424]

The Spain and France crowds were probably the best in league history, they cheered everyone and their energy was SO high.

[@damiester1]

They definitely did not cheer for the LPL (Chinese) teams lol. The cheers for LPL you hear are mostly from the Chinese fans who travelled there.

[@brandonverzijl6234]

i feel like those cheers were boos@@damiester1

[@BenderUnit22x]

Unlike the AR cameras for Pop/Stars last year, the audience was able to see the holograms on stage. As I understand it, there's a translucent curtain around the stage that the hologram is projected on. You can see the outlines of the curtain when there's a lot of light in the arena. The tournament is over, this was the finals. We got clapped again by China, but it was a great tournament overall.

[@infiniteaj8688]

They're not holograms, just 2D projections on a panel, with other effects to make it look 3D (explained more in another comment). Holograms would mean they are absolutely no panels.

[@iXSIKOBOIXi]

The event was held in Paris, and the effects could be seen. Though it wasn't Holograms like most people think, they used special lighting along with these special glass screens to bring the effects to life

[@KEI23675]

I was never a fan of people reacting to stuff for the sake of reacting when they are not familiar with whatever it is they are reacting to but watching more and more KZbinrs who not necessarily know what these are all about is interesting none the less. You don't have to know everything about it to appreciate the beauty of it all.

[@arky5674]

5:56 off the the sides the akali qiyana and senna holograms all dabbed omg

[@endearmentthedoe1191]

Wen Ricky lmao Omg I’m so glad you pointed that out. I feel like they’d be such a close group if they were real, but that could just be my imagination going wild.

[@Mdennist]

Well, I've seen this 20+ times already, but this is the DeanBarry version, so what's 1 more I guess!

[@Rettilos]

Everything you see in the video is visible on stage in real life using hologram projection on special glass (transparent) panels (works like an HUD on a car).

[@Rettilos]

@@natjaeger13 Thanks for the info. Yeah you can do it with nets too.

[@xrhstoscbp0774]

I really dont know why i like this guy so much

[@rainerziehtkatapultenachgo9001]

If you look closely all these things were projected on thin, transaprent webs surrounding the stage like a cube.

[@mikedoge5559]

If you look closely you can see a white nets or very barely visible white screen all around the stage where they project those effects and it connects to screens above stage so what you saw people can see there... these are the effects they use indoors....everyone can see them except it depends on where you sit...ofc you cant see everything but mostly you can

[@ninjakirby777]

This was held in Paris The Dragon was 2017 in Beijing (i think)

[@clon1122]

Actually there where no sub titles live. So you are getting the authentic live experience.

[@DeanBarryStuff]

True.

[@nimmidev9122]

Everyone in the crowed could see the special effects. At 2:42 you can actually see some kind of fabric where the fx got projected onto.

[@ICrazySkills]

I was there. It was like 4 screens set up around the stage. Really cool live

[@demosteneswiggin5122]

Hey!! I'm happy you finally do this!! Fun fact: This year, people was enable to really see the FX's on the stage. "They used a thin metalic mesh fabric called a holonet around the stage " (Tx @Hathus for the information) and projected there the Visuals. It was amazing! I wish I could be there! PD: I'm so hyped for what they gonna do next year!!

They knocked it out of the park once again for the ceremony, all 3 songs are so good. Can't help but look forward to Worlds every year for this stuff as well as the games. Sadly the games in the final were a bit meh, the semifinals however were pretty amazing.

[@yutayuta8081]

Damn, i almost cried. LoL is such an important thing in my life, im a big big fan of LoL competetive scene and the biggest fan of g2 esports (the team that lost). I dream of becoming such a player, i believe i can do it. Im so sad that G2 lost this damn it. Also, i almost cried because of the fact that they lost, but the opening ceremony was just so Beautiful, thinking that im 1 of those people in this arena is just too much

[@justsomegirlwithoutamustach]

If you ever have a chance, try to react to "Danny Don't you know?" -by Ninja Sex Party

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

I think the really amazing thing is how the production is so coordinated that they put the live performers on stage, but are able to blackout the lights on them and project an image of them somewhere else, making it look like they can teleport- perhaps most notably at 7:10 where they got the singer to apparently use Lissandra's Glacial Passage skill to teleport across the stage. It really did end up being sadly ironic that the Worlds Song Riot commissioned this year was Phoenix- and in the end, Fun Plus Phoenix from China absolutely _annihilated_ G2 in the grand final, despite G2 being the massive favourites. Some salty idiot conspiracy theorist fanboys even cited this as "proof" that Riot had been pressured by Chinese owners Tencent to rig the entire tournament to ensure China won again. Morons. Incidentally, during the team introductions, each team's substitute was holding their team's biggest season trophy. The FPX sub was holding the LPL (China) regional championship trophy, but the sub for G2 was holding the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) trophy that G2 had won earlier this year, the second-biggest award in LoL after the Summoner's Cup itself.

[@nenus4585]

I think this was an open finals, G2 wasnt massive favorites...

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

@@nenus4585 I mean they were the team everyone who wasn't Chinese wanted to win and most people expected them to. The predictions from the analysts desk were all for a 3-1 or at worst 3-2 G2 victory, except for one who changed his prediction to a 3-1 FPX victory and was treated as if he was taking a massive long shot for it. Only they ALL turned out to be wrong as FPX beat G2 like a red-headed stepchild.

Sadly, the do not win so much money, even if they win the World championship. Successful LoL streamers win much more money than profesional players.

Ehm, 1. the pro players get paid pretty hefty salaries 2. the 2018 prize money for 1st place at worlds was $2,418,750, sure, not that much i guess :^) 2019 prize money was not released yet cause part of the prize money is funded from the sales of the in game world championships skins and those are not processed fully yet

Está divertido el vídeo como burla al esteriotipo latino especialmente mexicano , por es obvio que mucho del video no aplica en la mayoría de los mexicanos , como los gustos en comida , fútbol , música , etc. Además que mucho de las cosas que personas de países como Canadá pueden valorar porque en México no hay , pues es a medias ya que cómo ejemplo el agua potable en la llave muchas familias mexicanas si lo tiene e igual muchas personas en países desarrollados no tiene esos privilegios aún viviendo en esos países.
