LEC x Against The Current: Wildfire | Behind the Scenes | 2022 LEC Spring Promo

How did the LEC go from making musical parody pieces to collaborating with Against the Current? We take a look behind the scenes of Wildfire and meet the team responsible for the soundtrack of 2022.

[@Eroll-dw8ex]

It's just crazy that it's something that it could have never happened, LEC could have stayed a "standard" esport. But this is so much freaking more, and it coming simply from LEC members passion is heartwarming

[@StarAZ]

Also that AGC had to get to Europe for a collab while LCS does nothing

[@DAnderMcSullivan]

Becoming the LEC instead of EU LCS was the single best thing that could have happened to the league.

[@supermatt87]

@@DAnderMcSullivan That's when shit started to change. Best decision ever. I used to be all NA, but LEC is so much better than LCS now. It's not even really close at all.

Holy crap Mako is everywhere at Riot Music it's incredible, HIS TALENT IS THROUGH THE ROOF

[@djbakasan]

Given his involvement in Arcane and seemingly all their esports musical drops, he's seemingly perpetually working on *something* with Riot at all times.

She sang more than 2 songs for league content, if you're referring to that

[@Samuel-th6fw]

Chrissy is great, but ATC does more than sing :(

[@MigARFX]

This song is a banger and now i wish i could see Against the Current working is collaboration with Imagine Dragons on a Worlds song, it'd be absolutely insane and i'd lose my shit.

[@luma7777]

Yeah that would be great They are like the two big music producers for league

[@skulphire3679]

Would be cool but imagine dragons is really a few leagues above.

[@reasonablekinda2269]

@@skulphire3679 they are yes, what they mean is connection wise, Riot seems to have some artist that they seem to employ multiple times and 2 of those are Imagine Dragons and Against the Current, also G idle, Madison Beer and Mako seem to be a part of this recurring group so I’m pretty sure they know about each other and would probably be willing to do a collaboration if Riot asked for it, maybe for Arcane Season 2 we might see some artists collaborating to make some new music, Riot is after all first and foremost……a music and animation studio lol, jokes aside they have been doing a really good job with their music so I’d hope their artists would do great in the future too, together or otherwise.

[@mostafaelzohirey9187]

I want vedius and drakos to make worlds song with imagine dragons

I WANT THE LEC BACK SO I CAN SPAM IN THE CHAT LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

where it all started

[@CrimsonArclight]

Damn. This was a passion project for sure. And it was well worth all the time and work that went into it. Mad respect Lads.

[@laura2278]

ATC universe will always fit with video games 'cause Chrissy is a true video game lover and we can always feel her passion and her hapiness to be part of this world; + ATC music style is literally fire

[@ninosulser4984]

It‘s really amazing to see the development from the LEC music productions from the occasional rap battles to this. Love the new song and the collaboration with artists like AtC

[@scottkeeler6409]

ATC has only gotten better with every song, now this collaboration is awesome. Chrissy just embraces the other singers thru her everything, sound, movement, and attitude. Thanks, guys

[@dariowinter7243]

"Something that makes fans proud to be a part of the LEC" yeah mate, you've certainly achieved that goal

[@Zedja]

Chrissy has worked with Riot for years which makes things a lot easier. She (and her band) basically was the natural choice for doing this.

[@stryker1797]

For real. Every time Riot hires Against The Current for one of their competitive hymns, it's a granted masterpiece. This song is no exception

[@MrReese]

Was hoping to see such a video about how all of it came together. Absolutely amazing!

[@LActress47]

I look forward to everything LEC puts out when it comes to music. Vedius and Drakos have come so far and everything they touch turns to gold. Tonight my husband and I will be listening to this song while cooking pozole. We love talking about what other musical projects LoL can do. I wish LCS would take notes.

[@Its_crazyadamla]

I ❤ Chrissy and against the current, been watching and listening to their music for the past 6 years and always get excited about new songs 😎

[@samtarver8446]

After I first heard wildfire, I went back and listened to reckless with my heart, and you can really hear how much Vedi has improved! Good job man, the hard work has really paid off.

[@haukeofficial.]

Really nice, kudos to the complete production team :)

[@samuelbuzek9321]

I've been listening to the song on repeat since I first heard it yesterday, it's really awesome 🤩I love it so much, in fact, that I listen to it even while studying for my exams 😆

[@Just_Marc]

I've had this song on loop since it got released. It's unsurprisingly excellent and I absolutely love it. Great job to everyone who got involved in making such a wonderful piece.

[@josephb5989]

It's an LEC production but it honestly really feels like just a passion project for ATC, Vedius, Drakos, and the production team as individuals. And it comes through in the final product, you can tell these guys loved it

I really love the content you guys release I cannot wait for more

[@blazingdance3612]

Seriously one of the best songs I have ever heard! It's on a repeat playlist for me. I already loved ATC for many years before this came out but then I saw that Drakos and Vedius were being a part of it. Their singing has improved so much and hearing the amount of time it took to plan and the things they all wanted to do for the video makes me appreciate the song and all the effort even more. I hope LEC can sing with more professional bands and ATC more in the future.

[@gonalvarez]

Yesterday when I listened to the song at work, the only thing I thought was to get home quickly to play it non-stop for 2 hours straight, well it was 4 hours at the end, I adore this song

[@whg6906]

Honestly such a sick song and performance by Drakos and Vedius.... Insane quality and chills

im so glad LEC decided one day to make music that was so unironically good that it led to them collabing with ATC, this is definitely the spring split anthem, drakos and vedi knocked it out of the park as per usual

I just wanna say thank you to the whole staff for bringing this to life. Nowadays, when almost everything is lazy and fake and meaningless you cannot imagine how precious this is. Truly passionate production, and it really shows. Hats off to ATC, Mako, Vedius & Drakos, and the entire production team that was involved. Just THANK YOU.

not my genre but the quality is insanely high and i can fully appreciate the song. really fucking well done guys, just insane to be part of euw/lec as a fan and player.
