Lyrics:
I need to keep you around
With my feet tied
With my feet tied tight to the ground
The end's nowhere to be found
I don’t know why
You don’t leave me to drown oh-oh-oh
Don’t know where to go unless you say
Don’t know what to do unless you stay
Thinking that today will be our day
Be our day again
Why am I playing with time as it’s ticking away?
It's tickin’ away, away, I’m askin’
Why, we run for our lives, not a second to waste?
You're tickin’ away, away, away
Alright, let's get it
Winnin'
Losin'
Either way I'm there
Gotta attitude
I'm out the roof
Up in the air
This round I make it count
Yeah I'm talkin’ right now
Feel like the comeback kid
I got no time to spare
Woah
Double up the score
Turn a 2 to a 4
You know I win a lot
Gotta win one more
On a hot streak
Never gets old
Solo with the ace
And my team went gold
Why am I playing with time as it’s ticking away?
It's tickin’ away, away, I’m askin’
Why, we run for our lives, not a second to waste?
You're tickin’ away, away, away
You're tickin’ away, away
I’ll give it one more try
I don’t know why
But I keep comin’ back every time
I want it more than my life
I don’t know why
But it feels so right
Why am I playing with time as it’s ticking away?
It's tickin’ away, away, I’m askin’
Why, we run for our lives, not a second to waste?
It's tickin’ away, away, away
It's tickin’ away, away, away
Tickin’ away, away, away...

There's something so endearing about watching how the friends he grew up with continued to support him even as they begin to walk different paths and lives, and in the mean time you can see he always remembers where he came from and continues to appreciate their presence (like him copying Raze's hand wave signal in).

The storytelling is just CRAZY. The tako that they won from the claw machine (00:23) when they were kids (it shows them dropping it but the sequence ends with ONE MORE token being put in), ends up being their LAN garage padlock key (1:30) and Handfool presumably still holds on to it (2:41). The spin move that broke his ankles (00:28) ends up inspiring him to make a move in game (2:44). The shot-calling of his friend (1:01) ends up inspiring him to call his own shots (2:42). He even has the same stretch his friend has (1:34) (2:33). He pastes the 'ONE MORE' tape (2:22) as a substitute for the banner he has in his room (1:50) which originally came from the LAN garage (1:12) (3:06). All to show that even though they have all moved on with their lives, he is still representing them on the biggest stage.

The story, the music, the animation, the journey of friends who have grown up together, and finally, after all that time, they always stay behind supporting each other. That moment from 2:24 always burst me into tears when watching. Thank you for giving me a so emotional experience.

​@@MsRosHDit's really around gaming at all between 16-18 with a set group. Once you hit around 19+ dependent on the person or group a lot of you split off into your own areas. I've constantly been moving and not consistently had a setup myself on top of work, I've had a few friends get married and starting families. Others who are just too overloaded with work or school. Where now we only call once every few months instead of gaming and calling pretty much daily.

the fact that gekko is shown reminds me so much of CGRS, their run on Masters Tokyo was insane, imagine no one was expecting PRX to even get to third place, even get a close 3-2 match against EG. From zero to hero, CGRS shows up to and seems like a star in the making. Rooting for PRX !!

[@ErasedPNG]

I'm with you. The character design along with his Gekko picks reminds me a lot of CGRS. Even though people called him a Gekko one trick and a substitute (almost last minute as well) during Masters Tokyo which made people doubt PRX, they managed to beat top teams and secured 3rd. That is insane.

I just like how when handfool move on in life, another group of agents are used to represent his new team, and they did the same as his og team, reaching out to him when he fall. No matter what stage in life, the people who been with him are never replaced, and the new people who he move on too are as supportive as his previous teammates.

These just keep getting better every year honestly. Asides from the incredible voices of Grabbitz and bbno$ and the banger beat they've made, the music video itself tells an incredible story which everyone can relate to some way. It's extremely emotionally provocative, especially where he's at the LAN and he has his friends and family cheering him on in the crowd, its a feeling that most people never get tired of, having the ones you love most be there to encourage and support you regardless of what you are doing or what point in your lives you are at, even as we grow older.

[@halitakahashi4520]

couldn't agree more

[@krmbzzzi]

Simply mesmerizing storytelling on full display here: A band of childhood friends from seemingly different walks of life come together and eventually discover Valorant. The game brings them closer together. The sweet taste of victory; the bitterness of defeat---the journey itself solidified their friendship as their in-game grind reflects the eventual growing up they do in life. Throughout the years, they played and enjoyed the game together, but as reality eventually catches up and gets in the way (jobs, other responsibilities, etc.), some of the crew hung up their headphones and started focusing on other things except for their one friend who is determined to climb the highest level possible and become a professional Valorant player. As time "ticks away" the protagonist player continues the grind; ONE MORE game, he says, as he inches closer to his dream...and then it happens. He becomes a pro player...but at what cost? As he climbed the stairs to the stage, he thinks back and wonders if it was all worth it. Did he reach this point all by himself? Was all those hours of gaming worth it? What about his old friends? Do they still think about him? His focus on the game prevented him from being able to spend time with them like in the old days. Do they still think about him? To his surprise, as the game is about to begin, he catches a glimpse of his old crew sitting at the front showing their full support of him---smiles beaming as they cheer for him. One more...one more...not just for me. One more for my friends...One more for the old times....One more for the future....One more, he thinks as he stretches and jumps into the game, ready to give it his all. TLDR: Not everyone will become a pro Valorant player, but that doesn't matter. It's the memories made, the grind together, the wins and losses together, and the incessant pursuit to become better in the game and in other aspects of life that matters. The journey of Valorant itself and how it brings people together is what makes this game what it is.

Sonya, Nico, Milo, Ben, Jerome- which do you think is which? The composition is great throughout. I like the touch that the flashbacks during the pro game aren’t framed like shots from a movie. They are odd angles because they are memories from his own pov.

[@hankookofthewest]

[@Igndraw]

I like how in the final last match, he uses a mix of the style of his old friends, the command 1:01 in 2:42, the basketball agility and turn 0:28 in 2:47, the footstep that resembles a skateboard trick 2:48, the stretch 1:34 in 2:34, he morphed together all the abilities that he gathered along the way with his friends and trained/grinded it until perfection
