[@helloitsjason]

The character is representing the player Ambition and the video is representing his climb through the World Championship Tournament from the previous year (2017) from this videos release (2018). It starts off with him having defeated his opponents in the tournament's group stage, and then he begins his path through the playoff stages. The variety of weapons he wields actually represent a few different champions (the actual characters you play in game) that he played. The two sword/dagger things are the Claws of Kha'zix, the whip is Sejuani, and the spear is Jarvan IV. His first fight you see is him fighting a player from the European team G2 (player's name is Perkz, character he is playing is Yassuo, who was the DJ in Giants) in the quarter finals. The second fight is him versus the Chinese team RNG (the player's name is Uzi, playing the character Vayne). Then he arrives at that temple like place, representing the finals. The various logos you see on those statues actually represent all the previous winners of the tournament. The final fight is against Korean team SKT T1. The player is Faker, widely considered the best player of all time, and his team has won more World Championships than any other in history, including back to back wins. The character Faker is playing is Ryze. At the end, we see the logo of Ambition's team (Samsung Galaxy) appear on the statue. Afterwards we see a variety of players from many different teams all looking to make the climb in 2018 and take home the championship for themselves. Edit: We see Uzi wake up at the end because his team was considered the best that year going into the tournament.

[@boyanpenev9822]

Yeah, Riot snuck in a LOT of references in that clip. For example, the opening scene has a slightly nighmarish vibe because in the World Championship BEFORE that (2016), Ambition's team Samsung Galaxy lost the finals against SK Telecom T1. Before Worlds 2017, Samsung had a pretty bad time in the South Korean Championship, losing the spring playoffs early and then having to compete for the last Korean seed for Worlds after SKT beat them in the summer playoffs (competitive League has two seasons, spring and summer). So they barely made it in.

[@jamantemarcelo6523]

didn't know it was suppose to be kha'zix, because I didn't recognized the weapon...

[@liuthang1524]

He didn't beat Uzi so in Rise he just ran away with 1 arrow on his shoulder. Uzi so freaking tough

[@bandaralhoraibi2018]

He didn’t beat uzi in the real tournament in 2017 uzi was illuminated by SKT but in the video it showed that he got one shot because in the end of the video it was shown that he woke up from being knocked out

[@ryanduffy904]

Just a quick correction, ambition actually faced perkz in the group stage. In the quarter finals he beat kingzone dragon X, the best Korean team of that year

"Who's that dude?" YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE GOD!!!

[@rockycheng7929]

Faker bro, dont even try

[@joaoheldermartins3227]

Let's start from the beginning: The music video is indeed telling the story of 2017 League of Legends World Championship. And most people we see in the video are pro players using the weapons of League of Legends characters. The main character we see is Ambition, a pro player from Samsung Galaxy (SSG), who we see the trajectory from the ground to the top of the world. In the place where the video begins, there are banners with the participant teams of the 2017 world's. The samurai guy, I actually dunno who he was design after, but he looks like Yasuo, one of the LoL characters. at the end of the fight, if you look at the clouds you'll see a insect like monster as Ambition's shadow. That's Kha'zix, another of the LoL characters, and Ambition is using Kha'zix claws to kill the samurai. After that, we have Ambition climbing up mountains and in the ice wall you can see other people frozen, meaning the whole bunch of people who failed trying. When he enters the lava cave, there's Uzi, a Chinese pro player from RNG, wearing Vayne's weapons and glasses, as Ambition charges into him using Sejuani's. The animal shadow that appears in the lava is from Bristle, Sejuani's boar. This fight actually happened in the 2017 Worlds. And then, after some more climbing scenes, Ambition reaches the final place. The giant statues we can see there are holding the shields of teams that have won the LoL world's before. The final guy that appears is designed after Faker, Korean pro player considered the GOAT of League of Legends, and his jacket is from his team SKT T1. They are 3 times World champions and the scroll and book Faker is reading are from Ryze, another league of legends character. This fight represents the 2017 world's finals, where Ambition and SSG won Faker and SKT, becoming the world champions. In one of the games, Ambition played as Jarvan IV, the character he's using the Lance, and Faker played as Ryze. In the end of the fight, SSG symbol shines in the statue in front of Ambition, meaning they got a place aside the former world champions. The guys that are shown at the bottom of mountain after that are players of other teams startint their own climb as the 2018 World Championship begins. Sorry for the long text, but I think this are all Easter eggs in the video.

TIMESTAMPS ARE ALL FOR THE ORIGINAL RISE VIDEO 00:00 turn the volume all the way up, you can hear Quickshot (A LoL play-by-play caster) casting game 5 of S7 finals in which SSG lost that's why Ambition got thrown to the ground looking exhausted with all the defeated teams' flags around him. 00:13 Ambition picks Jarvan IV, Kha'Zix and Sejuani's weapons (the champions he used in S7, all characters in LoL) 00:43 "Perkz", the midlane player for the European team G2, shows up as Yasuo, a champion he played when SSG beat G2 in Worlds group stages (Also during their battle, the grain is cut into the hitboxes for the skills those actual champions use, thats the areas of damage for certain abilities in game that those two players were using to fight) 01:13 Kennen shuriken lightning, a nod at another player in that game who played the character Kennen to great success if I recall correctly. It's a nod to his teammates contributing to their victory. 01:28 Cave looks like Olaf might be RNG's jungler MLXG. 01:32 RNG ADC player Uzi as the character Vayne, RNG is a chinese pro LoL team that was against SSG in group stages. 01:34 Ambition got shot in the glasses but didn't die. (SSG lost to RNG in group but still advanced as 2nd) 01:43 Ambition got shot again (lost to RNG twice) 01:51 Ambition called Sejuani and made it out of the cave (Ambition used Sejuani in both games against RNG, the video didn't show he defeated Uzi because he never did, he just made it out of the cave, RNG was later defeated by SKT) 02:00 Samsung championship skins + Elder dragon (The AR dragon at Bird's Nest in S7 Finals stadium) 02:11 FNC and TPA, S1S2 champions in past year's worlds finals, two other historic pro LoL teams. 02:12 SKT, S3S5S6 champion. There is a dimmed statue might be referring to S4 champion Samsung White which no longer exists. 02:18 You know who this is. It is Faker, a Korean midlane player who is widely considered to be the undisputed best player of all time. He is referred to in Korea by a nickname that literally translates to "Unkillable Demon King" 02:20 SKT three stars because they won worlds 3 times. 02:47 SSG won S7 worlds, their statue is lit in the statues of champions. 03:02 S8 about to start 03:03 Gambit's Darius. Logo on his back., another LoL team. 03:05 Kabum gaming Kalista (adc TitaN used it 3 times this year, also according to comment "orange sleeve" is a Kabum thing, unique player quirks.) 03:13 Flash wolf and Team Liquid, KT in the background on the high rock. 03:14 comes FNC, and lastly UZI they make up for the top seeds from the four regions. 03:24 RNG Uzi again, ready for redemption. Hopefully this makes the video more interesting!!! Would love to see a reaction video where you went through and reacted again with the context, and tried to notice all the little touches.

@Scru Face Jean The video is a story of SSG Ambition who fought his way to the finals through a lot of famous pro players. His multiple weapons are the Champions(characters he used). The guy with the arrows is UZI the most famous player from China using the weapon from his signature champion Vayne. The SKT T1 player Faker is the GOAT with 3 world championships under his belt. Undefeated at every world championship he participated in up to this point. They faced each other in the Finals and for the first time Faker fell to Ambition and Samsung Galaxy team. (Faker’s signature champion is Ryze a rune Mage, hence the book and magic. ). Then at the end it shows the new challengers for the 2018 world championship looking to Rise and climb the tournament mountain to dethrone the new champion.

[@NoMomICatntPause]

This video was based on the 2017 League of Legends world championship. The main character throughout the video was named Ambition a very veteran player who made his climb through the tournament to ultimately win it in that year and this video is commemorate the accomplishment. The weapons he had were the symbols for the champions he played throughout the tournament to the best ability Kha'zix, Jarvan IV, and Sejuani. The first person he fought is a European player named Perkz who was touted as the best player to be representing that region at the tournament and a very good Yasuo player(the samurai armor and weapon represents that). The next person he fought was Uzi who has been historically known as the best Chinese and ADC player in the world for many years, he woke up at the end because in 2018 was the year he was expected to win his first Championship but fell short, to Perkz actually, but that's beside the point. The last person he fought is Faker the very best player to have ever touched the game, his nickname in Korea is the unkillable demon king because he was just that good. Faker won every single world championship that he qualified for until Ambition beat him in the Grand Finals in 2017. Additionally the "lion" is actually a champion in the game called Sejuani who's flail can be seen, that's their weapon. Uzi was dressed as his signature champion vayne, and Faker was dressed as his Ryze. Last thing SKT T1 is a very renowned League of Legends team that has three world championships, many first place finishes in the Korean League, and MSI championships.

When this video release, Uzi has won all of champions on 2018, 2 LPL champions, 1 MSI champion, 1 Rift Rivals champion, so RIOT put him in the end means it's could be the year of UZI, but he didn't win worlds 2018 in the end. Another team from China called "Invictus Gaming" was the 2018 winner.

Basically the story behind this video and the characters : The main character is Ambition (Jungler for Samsung Galaxy) who's climbing the mountain of the world championship and he face 3 incredible player with their signature pick (The champion in League of Legends they are the best at) He first face Perkz and his Yasuo (the Samurai man) wich he crushed 2 games to 0 in the group stage. He defeat him with Kha'Zix's Claws Then, he continue he's ascension to face Uzi (from the team RNG) with his Vayne. Uzi is known to be the best adc (a role in LoL who is super important) of all time but he never won a World championship, he's like cursed or something I don't know but anyway. He just manage to escape from Uzi with Sejuani (A character who's riding a big I don't know what kind of animal it is, that's where you thought he became an animal or something) because RNG (The Uzi's team) beat the SSG team (The Ambition's team) 2 times in group stage. He's continuing he's climbing and arrive on the final stage, where he see the statues of all the team who has won the world championship. Fnatic - TPA - SKT and SSW And then he face, in final, Faker, who's playing Ryze (one of his best signature pick, there was a time where he had more than 80% winrate with this champion on a profesionnal level, and that's huuuuge) Faker is known to be the best League player of all time, he's like the god of league, the final boss, the one you have to defeat if you want your career to be complete. Sk Telecom T1 just built a Dynasty, they won 3 world championship and Faker never left this team. SSG just CRUSHED SKT in a 3-0 Final and ended their Dynasty. Ambition is shown with 3 Character in this Video : Kha'Zix -> Sejuani -> Jarvan, his main 3 champions for these worlds.

[@Annomander]

The video follows the story of a Pro league Player called Ambition, when he was part of the Samsung Galaxy team, as he climbs the 'mountain' of the world championship. Every fight shows him defeating the iconic member of the teams he fought to get the cup. The first fight in the field is him fighting Perkz the captain of G2. The second fight in the lava chamber he fights UZI the star player of RNG The third and last fight at the top is him fighting and finally overcoming Faker, the best LoL player who plays for the team SK Telecom T1 and who is 3 times world champion. At the end after he beats Faker you see him cheer as the symbol of his team is embedded on the statue in front of him, next to all the other teams who have won the world championship in the past. And then the end shot is of other iconic players starting their climb to reach the top of the mountain.

He is Faker

[@dounin8876]

As you must already know the names, 5:31 it's not Ambition beat Uzi at that part, it's just he escaped from his relentless aggression, it's a reference to RNG (Uzi's team) and Uzi himself playstyle, they also beat Ambition's team, SSG, in that way, the 2 arrows that Uzi landed on Ambition are also a reference to the 2 victories RNG had over SSG in the group stage, they went 2-0 in the head-to-head, he escaping is a reference of his team still surviving the group and qualifying to quarterfinals. 8:21 That's Uzi again, awaking after his 2017 loss to SKT T1 i.e. Faker, who, although it's not showed in the video, Faker beat him while also trying to make it to the top. RNG were dominating internationally that year, 2018 until the world Championship, RNG were one of the favourites to win it all. There's implied that like SSG before him, who made history by stopping SKT's sport dynasty, Uzi was going to make the same, having another chance to write their name in the history and stop the Korean domination in League of Legends, in the end, China stopped it, now, they're the best region since then, but, instead of RNG, it was iG who won that World Championship.

This is like their holy grail of easter eggs / references. There are dozens of references in this video, including to players (representing in-game characters), characters from the game and teams competing in the world championship (in the start you can see weapons from many characters and flags from a bunch of teams [also in the back of the "new chalengers" that show up at the end]), in-game skins, matches that happened in the previous year's world championship. There's even a page in the "SKT T1" dude's book saying stuff like you gotta eat broccoli to win, which was a running joke at the time.

*Scru sees Faker: "I will say that these look like the least threatening people ever." 😂 Love you, Scru, Faker is a legend in his own right. If you matched up against him trust me, you'd be scared. 😂😂

[@Kuh6]

the guy with the SKT T1 hoodie is Faker , proven to be the best player to ever touch league of legends with his back to back world championships and his crazy gameplay, reaction time, reflexes ect. he’s basically a god to us, the michael jordan of e sports.

[@quoderatdemon]

The person wandering around is a player who won the world championship and the video tracks his enemys from opposing teams. Every player has the weapon/skills of a playable champion in the game. The logos are the logos of the teams ( eg Sk telecom T1) participating.

Shout out to the community!

[@segafan2437]

Nice to see you get hype for the music and animation for this one too. I am sure others have already left long comments explaining the video's story. This one refers to players, more specifically the pro players who play in the world championship tournaments. The people are models of real life players...the weapons are the weapons used by characters ingame...their tools...in more than one use of the word, for msking their way to the world trophy. The moment at the end with all of the people climbing. Was to show that the one at the top is being challenged by new guys now. And i do watch to the end. Just as you have read to the end. Ty.

[@Ruukasu97]

6:30 thats faker the best league player

[@R4nd0m4F]

well there is APDO sooo faker might be 2nd best

[@Pe4nutButter]

this is a representaion of the previous world championship (2017), it followed a player (Ambition) and the champions he played, showing the people he beat (and their champions) to win. the last guy (Faker) is one of the best players of the best team (SK Telecom T1). when he beats him, you can see his team logo light up on the statue next to all the statues of previous championship winners. Also I want to add, what makes this even more epic, is that couple years back Ambition was considered one of the greatest, but Faker beat him later winning 3 titles, leaving Ambition in the dark. so this was such a satisfying win for him. When people react to league videos and see the amazing animation but see the actual gameplay, its nothing alike. but if you are into the game, like myself, these videos are how i see the game, like when im playing and do combos, i picture it in my head just like these videos depict it. when my character slashes at somebody it looks like whatever, but i feel the intensity of it like the battle in field, it gets intense.... nerd alert lol

He is a pro player defeating other players while using weapons and abilities from champions in the game, and the T1 guy in the end is known as the best player in league, who was defeated one year before that video went up by the other guy's team, who rose to the top....

[@imMuzzyy]

And these are pro teams, the last dude with the book is a player named Faker (pretty much the Lebron/Michael Jordan of league) and the main character of this music video beat him and they made a video for him Rising above all the other pro players

[@spikedaddy46]

Have to react to "This is War" Series by Falconshield The Band. It is a collab of gamers and even voice actors for League of Legends and it is epic. It isn't produced by Riot so there isn't much on the animation side but there are bars and great voice acting ( as if the champions from the game were rapping )

[@sneakerjuice1856]

The video actually shows an animated version of pro league players as their favorite league character.

[@griffin2136]

You should react to "Phoenix" or even "Legends never die"

[@demontime9490]

So basically,every fight is between characters of the game with their faces changed with those of the best players of each team taking part in the World Championship.Every fight scene is referencing abilities within the game.The character that is in the first fight up till the very last one is the one fighting all others as he had won the World championship the previous year so that's why he manages to come on top of them all at the end.The more the fights continue the harder they get,and thats why in the last one,the guy with the SKT T1 Telecom jacket is highlighted so much as he is the best player of all time being in the best team of all time.The end shows other teams rising for the next World championship (that happaned a few months ago),and lastly post credit scene was about the best player of league at that time period who was trying to earn his first championship as well.

[@spacegod329]

Do a reaction to "Phoenix" it's also a League of Legends song and it has a Metal Cover too, probably react to that as well!

[@KampurDota]

I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS

[@Maksim-yt3ij]

You should also react to RISE Remix (ft. BOBBY (바비) of iKON). It's fire too!

[@RayShuttlesworth]

The main character that goes throughout the whole song is "Ambition" a player who originally got overshadowed by the last person he fights on the top of the Mountain. After years of not winning the World Finals he came back and beat the team SKT T1 (SK Telecom). SKT T1 is considered one of if not the best team ever in LoL with "Faker" (the guy at the top) leading them to victory as the GOAT of LoL. The first person he defeats is a European player "Perkz" who is a great player. The second person he defeats is a Chinese player "Uzi" who is regarded as the best Chinese player ever and one of the greatest globally for the role he plays in the team. The statues at the top of the mountain have symbols on them representing past winners of the World Finals. When Ambition fights Faker and the "RISE!" kicks in the champion that is shown for Faker is called "Ryze" and is Faker's signature champion. Throughout the video it shows Ambition and his signature champions: Kha'zix (the one with the two curved blades); Jarvin IIII (the one with the spear, also the face that appears at the end for Ambition); and Sejuani (the one where he turns into a boar and swings the mace at Uzi). You got it right that the end of the video was others climbing their way to the top for the next World Finals. The after credits scene was Uzi again showing that he isn't dead and will also be back next World Finals to try again.

[@songogurt6958]

the SKT T1 character is "Faker", basically the Micheal Jordan of League of Legends. The unanimous GOAT.

[@grantharriman284]

The people in the video are actual pro players, most are using the powers of a signature character. The last one is Faker, known as the GOAT: Greatest Of All Time

[@nathannelson463]

The star of the video is "Ambition", a pro League player whose team (Samsung Galaxy) won the 2017 Championship. The weapons he picks up throughout the video represent the characters he played throughout the championship. All the characters he faces off against are also pro players... opponents his team beat during that championship. First is "Perks" from team G2, Second is "Uzi" from IG (I think) Last is the legendary "Faker" from SKT The statues at the top of the mountain have the symbols of each team that has won the world championship for the previous seven years, with the SSG logo appearing at the end when he conquers Faker. The entire video is packed with this kind of symbolism, and is a representation of the championship journey. It's also a sweet music video, too!

[@kerushii868]

So each person you see is an irl Professional League of Legends player. But the weapons that they're using in the video are the weapons from the champions they played in world championships 2018. The song is all about rising to the top of the championships, also the fact that the last guy we see with the book is Faker (he's considered the best League of Legends player ever) and Ambition (the main guy we watch rise in the video) was able to beat Faker and his team. Which was incredible since Faker was unbeatable for 2 years in a row but has won 3 championships in total. The next song to check out would be Legends Never Die from League. I love seeing people outside of league get just as hyped as we do over their songs and videos. I love your reactions and its very fun to watch, keep up the good work and I'll be waiting for the next video!

[@thebravest1]

SKT T1 is like the Lakers of the League community. The player they were showing is Faker who is currently the greatest player in the game or the Michael Jordan of our esport. The video was shown the rise of the team that won in 2017 and the final challenge was the 3 time World Champion Faker. Glad you are enjoying the music. I also got into league when I found out about the music. Keep up the great reactions loving your music insight.

[@Willowz7]

When I first saw him reacting to KDA i was like.... "League of legends community... we got em" LOL. Keep up the good videos Scru!

[@elonmusk1597]

SK telecom T1 (SKT T1) is a League of Legends pro team that has won the most worlds championships. The player wearing the jacket is called Faker and he's called the worlds best player. The book he's reading is Ryze's, a playable character (champion) in League of Legends.

[@Folder]

Basically the main character of the video is a pro league player and the story of the video is a representation of him climbing from his loss at the World Championship last year (the beginning shows flags from different teams who have lost at Worlds previous years). So every different fight is a different encounter with other well known League Pros who are also trying to climb to the top. The final fight is against the best league player and he and his team were able to be him to win a Worlds Title. Then the end end clip is the arrow dude from before, Uzi, getting back up from his loss to try and win this world championship (his team was the one everyone thought was gonna win worlds, or at least hoped would win) Also, theres another version of this with a Korean Rapper with some hella nice flow if you wanted to watch that as well :) Also, i watched til the end

[@ivantoledo5870]

Scru, you are doing it great bro! Let me explain you a bit about this yeah?. All league of legends music videos must be divided in three categories: skins, history and world's (player's). Let's talk about this one in particular. This one is a world's video, a fictional representation about something that happened the last year (when it was released). For some of us, the ones who takes League like something much bigger than just a simple game, this is a representation of the obstacles and the wins. The main character in this history, it's a real person, who represents it's hole team. Winning tournament's and doing awesome but really hard work, they make it to finals. In the end of the video, the one who you say it's the least menacing guy in the hole video, it's actually one of the greatest (in my opinion, THE GREATEST) player's in the world. The main character team defeated SKT T1 (The world champion team of League) and became world champions. That's it dude, great reaction again and good luck. Pd: You should react to Awaken and Phoenix

[@Imnotsorich]

The Word Alive is a mainstream metalcore band, which are the vocals you're hearing

[@qeoufghquefaasd]

skkt1 is a south korean team "south korea team 1" is the team with the most world championships in the game, and this guy with the jacket is the "faker" the star of the game with his own method of playing the game, and this book he reads and the parchment on the back is a character fantasy "Ryze" of the game, one of its most iconic champions.

[@honorboundninja4396]

Each one of the weapons he uses, including him "transforming" is a character that you can play. The purple claws are Kha'zix, the "samurai" is yasuo, the crossbow is vayne, the blue crystal whip is sejuani who rides a massive boar (the lion lookin' thing), the final fight is between jarvan 4 aka j4 and ryze. This is characters only, if you want you can watch champion spotlights to understand what each champion does.

[@saizenfps]

When the main guy is climbing towards the final fight, you can see the statues that has various teams' insignias on them, those are the former world champions. Faker, the mage guy in the final fight has the SKT T1 badge on his shirt with THREE STARS --> he has won THREE of the total NINE world championships so far. Formerly considered to be the best and uncontested player of all time, now he is still far up there but others are catching up.

[@johnpocket7920]

The main character is Samsung Galaxy Ambition he is from the winning team of League of Legends Worlds 2017, this video was created to represent his journey in winning the championships, first obstacle they faced was G2 represented by G2 perkz (the sword guy), 2nd guy is RNG Uzi (crossbow guy), the last guy is SKT faker (wizard guy, most iconic league player and 2016 champions). Theres a lot of refereneces and easter eggs but u wont really get them unless u play league. Edit: If you want more good league stuff I recommend watching awaken (the 2019 cinematic) or phoenix (this years song just like how rise was 2018 song)

[@swiftduelist]

The over arching story of the vid, is surrounding around this one guy named Ambition, he’s a pro player for a league team. He lost in the finals of 2016 and this video is the story of his journey beating all of the teams he played against in the playoffs in his eventual victory in Worlds 2017. So each guy you saw was each respective teams’ best player holding the weapon of the character they are known for playing the most. Lastly, SK Telecom is the most decorated league team in history with 3 worlds titles, including back-to-back titles, with the guy in the jacket being Faker, arguably the best player in the world and was a part of all three titles! P.S. I watched to the end of the vid, ya dig?
