List of references I missed. Will continue to update based on the info that comes out or things you guys find 00:18 Use .25 speed and you will see in the beginning four player behind the riot games logo. In the order they appear -> Boaster (emea), Kang kang (china), Demon1 (Americas), and either something or forsaken (Apac) 2:33 kang kang 4k on haven that appears at the background of him dancing kzbin.info/www/bejne/foaxi31morOpms0 02:33 Could also be a reference to kang kang rapping at master tokyo kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4azqoF7nad0j5o 02:22 Meant to spell nAts instead of NatZ. still not 100% sure if its him though 07:45 They're not actually blood cousins (my bad she got me good lol) 8:23 the people around the thorns are could be Cryo (or pANcada) , Boaster , Forsaken and Smoggy. Each representing one of the four regions in vct.

This very much clears things up a guess I have at 8:23 is that all the people that are shown with the spikes are kinda the faces of each region with the first person repping apac being like Jinggg or forsaken again then boaster then the third person being possibly Tenz again??? Then smoggy. Idk tho it’s a wild theory/ guess I have.
@Wallflow3rАй бұрын
I have a feeling its Cryo , Boaster , Forsaken and Smoggy . Forsaken you can tell cause its the same clothes as the neon shot if you see the jacket. So that means the first guy has to be from Americas who wears one earring . I think it could be cryo cause they show his clip but the earring is throwing me off . Could be some Latam or Brazil player then?

The only thing that shocks me is that they gave more time to FNATIC than they gave to almost every other region as a whole, even among the goats (Demon1 gets his short time, Aspas (for me the real goat) almost doesn’t appear AND TENZ HAS ONE SINGLE FRAME BRO) Yay, Cned and Natz are forgotten, u might say is because they are not playing champions but even saadhak has his moment and he didn’t make it also (his appearance is well deserved though, but he only appears to make ANOTHER REFERENCE TO FNATIC) I just don’t understand why fnatic took that much time on screen since they never got to be world champions in fact and nowadays they are far to be the best team in the world. Riot just loves EMEA and that’s it

I think a lot of this was based off of the 2023 season and some of the things that happened earlier this year. I'm sure a project like this takes time. It's not like they started this after master shanghai ended. I heard they began after champs 2023 ended and last year fnatic did have the best season among all the teams. Next year's video will probably give more love to the likes of gen g, sen, aspas, and others.
