The Story of Worlds
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2018
- Every year, Riot gathers the biggest teams in League of Legends to face off against one another. The prize pool isn’t as big as some other events, but that hardly matters. Worlds is when everything is on the line. For the longest time, it was the only international tournament that mattered.
But putting all that aside, Worlds changed esports, and every year, fans hope that Riot can do it all over again.
This is its story.

#leagueoflegends #riot #worlds - Hry
So the Summoner's Cup is too heavy for any one player to carry, and has to be lifted by the entire team? Meaningful.
faker would want otherwise lol
I don’t get the joke🤔🤔
It's... not a joke. It's an observation that LoL is a team game and that, despite what some people might tell you, you can't win at high levels unless everyone works together.
"Zing!"? You mean I can't win at high levels unless I have a team that works together? Uh, yeah, that's what I said. It's universal.
Boomer I don’t get the joke🤔🤔
worlds is as old as most fortnite players
ahhahahah
u made my day :)
Best comment
don't get it
A four year old would understand this comment how the fuck
Really sad the music of worlds starting in 2014 was not mentioned. I feel like "Warriors", "Ignite", and "Legends Never Die" really add to the hype that was the worlds experience. Especially Imagine Dragons having that live concert at worlds. It shows how impactful worlds had on mainstream entertainment media. Riot could get all these great artists to help add to eh charm and excitement.
They scared of getting dmca
Hell, way back in Season 2, the first time the Grand Final match opened with that massive choral performance, you knew esports had evolved into a new form.
don't forget about Jay Chou's performance as well...
Worlds Collide was just as hype
nothing compares to that electric orchestra with wes borland at 2015, cmon, that was the most epic intro for any event of esports ever
When i heard "THE SKT DYNASTY IS OVER" that gave me goosebumps
It made my day
Same and i dont even play or watch Lol
3 titles boi... And the dubbed "greatest player in LoL history" .
its not even over lol. If SKT doesnt make it again next year then maybe lol but we all know what happened the last time didnt make worlds. Hopefully they comeback again.
Faker isnt missing another worlds I cant stand skt but faker is the Gods God. He wont let it happen again.
NA
Let's make the game
Let's make the rules
Let's host the tournament
Let's lose on all the seasons
Just like it should be
Lol dis is like england when it comes to football, invents the sport, hosts the most watched football league in the world. Yet Englands team are horrible, and in the premier league the best players are all foreign 😂😂😂
Riot = Tencent = China
@@Nielz99 Stop talking like you own the company,
get the fuck out kid.
@@Nielz99 riot started worlds before they were bought by tencent
But seriously, I love every episode of this series, I tune this in for every game, because every bit of it sounds beautiful. The knowledge I learned by this is amazing, god bless you theScore.
Exactly!
sometimes it's too boring but it's fine i guess, this one was very good it did seem like actual work and research have been done alot of editing and ...etc
Night This isn’t purposed as pure entertainmaint but more building op to a message and it consists great informative content
As an avid follower of Worlds, I have to say some of the details were not interpreted really well. It was clearly a video done with research, but not by a follower of the event, so a lot of the context was lost. For example, describing season 6 as a strong year for Europe, when it was one of the worst. And not mentioning Europe's run in season 5, which was their actual strong year. And their was a lot of focus on the prize pool, but anyone with real business interests in League esports or understand how professional sports leagues work know that the prize pool doesn't matter.

theScore esports as long as you stop covering Fortnite, fine
Dang. Nice guys. Goodluck !
and dont vote for fortnite
God, these are always so emotional and well made!! Keep up the good work!!!
Honestly, Misfits taking SKT to 5 games was one of the most beautiful things ever in the past years of worlds, since it was basically a message that Korean teams aren't undefeatable and that the west is coming back. I believe that this worlds, Europe will be an actual competitor for the title.
StepwaveMusic china(RNG) are the favriotes having Korea as the 2nd I REALLY hape fnc and TL get past groups to show that NA and EU shouldn’t be overlooked
lol what about oce forever alone
BluePlays only so much can happen... eu seems plausible na seems unlikely but OCE... oh boy
I know its not happening but I want tl to win wolrds
Lol it was all luck no skills anyways
You say what you want about the issues surrounding Worlds 2015, but for me personally - and for many EU fans - it was the most *hyped* Worlds to date !
The French crowd was incredible during the group stage and made that Dyrus moment possible, the Worlds 2015 theme song was the best one to date and their unique intro animation and narration, showing what teams competed and seeing them streak around the Eiffel Tower and towards the Finals in Berlin was amazing !
Add to this that EU fielded 2 of the strongest Western teams ever in Fnatic and Origen and the hype really knew no bounds !
Word!
IIRC the French crowd shout "THIS!!!! IS!!!! SPARTA!!!!!!" every time Pantheon jumped... They are just amazing.
you forgot to mention the best series of worlds: SKT vs ROX at semifinals!
Adriel Santana only reason i watched this and so sad how that amazing game got mentioned for like 2 seconds talking about support ashe
Talking about c9 but not fnatic or OG on s5 worlds, NA bias !!
true
FUCKING SEASON 5 WORLDS WAS THE BEST and they say it was the worst because the meta ? Fuck that !!! it was the only worlds that had a chance for an all out westren/european final , a rematch of the eulcs final NOT TO MENTION THE GAMES WERE SUPERB TO WATCH
origen with the best in the west , peke , amazing and escape god soaz
fnatic with febiven , dynamic/legendary duo of huni and regnover and not to mention season 1player yellostar and god carry reklles
these 2 went head to head in the best eulcs final and neartlly went head to head again in the worlds finals and then they talk about fucking c9
PFFFFFFFF C9 SUCK DICK and will not even make it to Season 8 worlds
also barely glanced over rox vs skt, which is probably the best worlds bo5 ever
I known fuck that NA based shit nobody CARES ABOUT NA!
yeah :(
seeing SKT lose still brings a tear to my eye
It's beautiful isn't it
tha Proforce lmao
i was so happy that i tearedup
A tear of joy
yea tears of joy :)
Fortnite: "I don't feel so good"..........fades away
Facts! Fortnite is already dropping players and When it fully dies off we can get back to actual gaming. None of this cancerous 12 year old cringe bullshit.
My favorite docu-series/highlight channel on youtube, love the editing, style, tone and flow of all of your videos.
Please keep posting more. Thanks.
League doesn't have the power of flowers and friendship…
Enrickey Costa they have unicorns of love
but what do i know...im not a lol fanstraight
i would never press ESC if there is a Story from theScore esports. I am impressed and stunned every single time
sad that the FNC magical run in last worlds wasn't mentioned.
Yeah he is really biased for NA.
@@eistran2347 Almost, almost.
Most anticlimactic forgettable worlds finals BTW. It clearly shows fnatic in their state Vs rng and it's weird why they did not get flashbacks of beating IG in groups
awty tot Forgettable because of the absolute domination. Western teams still do not belong anywhere past quarterfinals
@@team3am149 But there are literally 3 western teams in semis..
Amazing content. You guys are one of the greatest additions to the eSports community in quite some time. I watch every video you guys release, I hope you continue for years to come!
Honestly the production value of theScore esports channel is amazing, I watch every new upload and enjoy all of them.
Great job guys!
SSW worlds march turn LoL form battle royale on rift to chess game- be witness to their tactics was awsome
MrValgard n
Seriously what's up with the NA bias o.O Misfits was way more impressive than C9 at that tournament and they barely got a sentence...
It's almost like Riot is a North American company lol
I don't think is bias, is a NA organization, what do you expect?
lol really, misfits literally murdered skt with weird picks and flashy moves, and were really, really close to win that spectacular series (undisputably the closest west vs Korea series we've had in like 5 years) but no, let's just say cloud 9 were the only hope for the west
like if NA was ever a true "hope" for the west lol
Yeah, Misfit not a single korean team in their group, and playing against a wildcard team in quarters... What an accomplishement!
love this channel. every time you put up a story episode i sit back and enjoy. you guys are awesome
Fantastic video! So many memories over the years. Phreaks basement, Deman and Joe Miller, Dyrus, Silver Scrapes and more...
I feel it !! I feel it guys!!!!
Fortnite is dying
This statement is worth a like.
You are my new best friend
It's death can't come soon enough
They said what's dread may never die.
But Fortnite ain't close to dread.
Why do people care if fortnite dies or not
And another masterpiece by Score Esport
Casting the games have also evolved! Thank you so much for all the effort guys! Please do a video on the work behind casting as well!
My very first day playing league was season 2 world finals and my very first tournament I’ve watched live streamed. I remember feeling how amazing it was even just to watch, and how I’ve never experienced or knew games to be that big. I didn’t know league was leading the charge as big as they were back then. Amazingly made and informative video!
damn i love your guys stories of literly every topic, but im kinda sad you didnt show the fervour of battle leona play from misfits vs skt in season 7! stil a great story, thanks for putting so much effort in it to create such a video!
Just gonna leave it here..
It aint just faker winning them titles, its mostly bengi. Remember, everh King has its own best Knight.
The video the score made about bengi is a masterpiece
That hit me hard :'(
@NicoFire25 But Bengi isn't playing though.
@@JayDzay he's in staff
Bengi's team abilities are definitely what allowed SKT to be so good whilst having a SoloQ mid laner.
Brilliant video guys, really enjoyed the step back through the years. Season 2 seems so long ago.
Best channel ever.. So much effort put in.. Great video
left league for almost a year after playing it for about 4+ years, i can gladly say i was in it to watch all of this go down.I still remember and miss
the sold out staples center
rising young faker
rise of c9
the long ass tsm and c9 rivalry as they dominate the NA scene
Dyrus leaving
MonteCristo Leigh 'DEMAN' Smith Joe Miller
Kabum! fking up Alliance
plays named after players like xPeke and insect
SKT dynasty(P.S. dont forget the coach kkOma)
SSG upset SKT
Faker crying
Dade jacket handover
IMP's domination
Inviting ZEDD IMAGINE DRAGONS ALAN WALKER to perform
AND MANY MORE , the list goes on
Man what a ride, thanks for the memories.Somehow, even when i stop playing ,I always find myself going back to watch the competitive scene and especially worlds. S3 worlds was definitely the turning point that changed ESPORTS as a whole, forever. I just hope UZI gets one worlds b4 he decides to call it a career
Amen! God bless :)
I feel bad for uzi. He had so many opportunity to win the worlds.
Atleast he won 1v1 tournament
The Moscow 5 Clips made me so emotional. I loved that team so much I am still a fanboy until today. I wish diamondprox will have succes at worlds and maybe they can create the smallest chance of winning the worlds into reality. Who knows rights? Thats why LoL Worlds wil be the best E-Sports Event to have ever existed
Keep telling yourself that snowflake.
I used to play league back in S2 throughout s5 then my computer just got old and I havent got another one yet... I never stopped watching League videos and the pro scene though. This game will always have a special place in my heart, same as Starcraft 2.
God this vid made me cry remembering all of those moments thanks guys. You make some amazing videos.
People look at Nagne now and all they can remember is Faker’s riven dodging his Cass ult in the face. No one can imagine how hard his Gragas smashed Faker back in season 3 semifinal.
I hope in the future riot uses the world largest arena which is located in southeast asia, Philippines
Never gonna happen.
You're going to host a rivalling MOBA on a country with a superiority complex for Dota, there WILL be a shitstorm.
They're lucky enough to be doing LST.
@@hecksters423 Yeah you're right about that but maybe someday in the future world championship riot uses it
This will happen somehow if a filipino team quilify for worlds finals or win worlds . But I guess the chances are near impossible with the current state of our pro players for league here in ph .
Story of Baby Faker pls. These are awesome!
There is a video on the story of faker look for it
+d NNN he said baby faker lol he was referring to FNC Caps
I got goosebumps for the entire video. Ever since the begging, i've been here. I remember the very first championship, i remember the struggles they went trough, i remember the flash plays, the words, the excitement, i remember rooting for those teams. I remember them all. League was, and still is truly magical. For this very reason, it has a special place in my heart, it does in all of our hearts. It might not be the best game out there, but compared to other games it did charm us in ways others never had, and never will. League isn't just about Summoners Rift. League, is about all those magical moments it has offered us throughout the years. Be it good, be it bad, we've had our fair share of suspense, excitement, disapointment, comebacks , surrenders, quits, and rises. League changed the way we see E-Sports, League changed the way the world sees E-Sports. League took online gaming out of the basement and made a big ass statue out of it, showing it to the eyes of the world. This is us, this is what we do. And people love us for doing it!
Score esports is legit awesome. Another masterpiece. Feels good to know what other games are upto
5-0 with no kills for first 20 odd min in a grand final sounds like the perfect popcorn match to me 🧐 4head
LUL
Non-killing esport
That's the 1st step of having esports in Olympics. Kappa
I quit league 5 months ago and this made me really nostalgic :(
you tell me, I was a semi-pro player on latin america that retired a year and half ago, It made me remember all those random momments with my team in the gaming house and also the victories on tournaments and those losses too, this video basically showed me what I was chasing from the age of 12 to 19 since season 1.
i quit too but still love to watch competitive
Man the nostalgia in this video. I barely play this game anymore but I love world's. Seeing this still gives me goosebumps.
Man such memories!! I watched from S1 to S4 and then stopped it just didnt have that charm anymore but good times indeed back then!
I think LOL influence other games to improve eSport. When people discuss is gaming a sport, people talk about League of Legend pro players, stages, international events
Who else cried when Dyrus was giving his retirement speech?
It was hard to watch but I never watched tsm.
Me
every time i see it i tear up
I was just cutting onions when that came up
its gonna be 100x more sad when SoaZ does it
These videos are so great. I have been following Pro League since Season 2 and playing since Beta. Its amazing how things have progressed.
One of the most beautiful videos so far nice job
Its allways magical to watch NA fail
But EU still went to the semi finals almost literally evreytime whereas NA never went to the semi.
@@lpremastered Even H2K worse eu team have better achievements than the whole NA
@@archaeas NA has nothing to put against the achievemnts EU did in the worlds stage.
Vakeesan Thayaladevan Ye right fcking h2k who are 2-16 this year have more achievements than NA as a whole
NA = retirement money for EU players, sad truth. Better coverage of the league though.
Can we get the story of KT score
Adisesh Viruru they already had, if I remember, there's a documentary between the Telecom Wars.
@@AF-qn9hc ya but now that score has won I think we could get one just on his career
Adisesh Viruru It doesn't need an add up, that video explains everything from the root of the organization, Score just won a championship nothing to cover.
@@AF-qn9hc it has been 7 years since the start of ogn and when score started playing he had never won a championship before that he has only gone to worlds once and kt has a history of failing and the last time they won an ogn was when they had Kakao and rookie. So yes they just won a championship but it gives a great chance to talk about one of the top junglers of all time and it would be coo.l I'm also confused on why you wouldn't want a video on something like of you wouldn't want to watch it then just don't if it comes out.
Score? You mean the jungler who always got out smite-ed?🤔
I love worlds everytime the event is done I'm already looking forward to the next one. Can't wait any longer.
Colin's voice and narrating is fucking astonishing. Absolutely amazing.
It's getting my passion for e-sports to a whole new level with each and every video coming out.
Biggest mistake is licensing LoL to Garena.
It couldn't be helped, at the time Riot didn't have the infrastructure to handle host LoL Worldwide.
I mean EU was licensed as well, and while now Riot is handling it, to say the servers had stability would be an understatement.
10 years was the kicker tho. Garena is so bad now it feels like a casino baiting people to drop as much as possible now.
@@KengCheong Nuh uh, other regions actually felt Garena gave a fuck, not PH. Definately not PH, we're locked in so we can't play with other regionsmreports are handled by volutneers forum mods and other crap. That was literally the state 10 years ago that is still the state now or even worse.
Do the Story of Uzi: The Machine Gun!
really amazing production here, good job
What an amazing video! holy shit keep it up guys i always tune in to this series!
Now I know why is there a tpa lines of skin
League of Legends
Great video. Top nocth production quality
I personally think the story of Uzi would be perfect to continue with especially before the next worlds. And as always great video about esports and its legacy.
Sad ... you didnt mention "imagine dragons" as the first ever music band to create a song for E-sports
Do Hans Sama. I’m not even an EU fan but I think that what I️ know of his story is amazing
not much to say yet. wait till he wins a world
paul charousset he went from challenger series to almost beating SKT at worlds
wait till you hear of his drama
Is that the guy that gets killed by Caps every time Caps troll picks a champion ?
That got me really hyped ❤ can't wait for Worlds 2018!
Came back here today before watching 2020 worlds finals..
they've come a long way..
Only fault I have with the video was no mentioning of the AMAZING HYPE VIDEOS/SONGS that Riot Games released for Worlds, and the MASSIVE upset Misfits caused SKT T1 during Worlds in 2017.
This video need an update
Speechless about the once again flawless production in terms of presentation but also facts!
Personal note: In my own eyes, Worlds 2015 was the most entertaining one to this point. Might have been because I liked the song most, because my fav teams made semis, or because I attended the finals. Either way, I think back to it as the greatest tournament I ever witnessed
2018 Worlds is going to be so Good. All Regions looking so Good this Year, Going to make for the Most exciting Year yet!!
Such an amazing video
why is it called worlds when korea vs korea always happens
Korean op
Not this year. Mark my words. RNG Kaisa skin incoming
as i was screaming in the c9 tl match "BAN KAISA"
Bcs it's the LCK autumn season kappa
@@skule9106 Na its fnatic tristana incomming.
Ok tbh i dont know was it just me or that u guys actually took in my suggestion of making a vid about Worlds from the Ti vid? If it was i really appreciated u guys taking in the idea.
Thank you so much for doing this theScore esports! There is always so much great information that people are learning!
Doesn’t mention that Longzhu was undefeated in worlds up until SSG 3-0 them. Also doesn’t mention that SSG 3-0 SKT.
You guys dont ever go into detail as to WHY these wins and loses were so huge.
It's obvious they know that bit they just chose not to
Great Video, but what happend suddenly with europe and S6? They seemed stronger??? S5 2 Semifinalists with maybe the best western team ever with fnatic. and S6 europe seemed stronger?
My boy OG.
I think the TPA Skins are MY favorite team skins out there!! GOOD SHIT!!
League season 2 is my all time favourite iteration of League. Great memories with a great meta
Waiting for “The Story Of Tyler1”
It's so sad that just because ( I guess) you work in North America you put the focus on it in the video. You didn't even talk about Origen run, about 2015 FNC willing to maybe win the worldcup. You even mentioned '' C9 took WE to a 5th match'' like if it was spectacular and just said '' skt went to 5 maps against MSF and RNG '' like wtf. In every year you also talk about C9 and NA teams and even mentioned the Dyrus retirement which is insignificant. Nevertheless, I liked this and all of your videos but try to fix what I said.
So true. Love the video but it is a bit bias. Fnatic and Origen season 5 were incredible and didn't get mentioned at all, it's even safe to say EU 2015 were better than China 2015
yGLeviathan he was? well at that point he was maybe one of the longest playing players
he was neither good(compared to the world) nor special(compared to the west)
hell soaz is far more of a legend
2nd at s1 worlds
played every but one lcs split(the only he didnt was when origen was in the challenger series)
semi finals at worlds
5 titles in EU
its significant in the fact that it was a moving moment, something rarely seen before (if at all) for a progamer
Vo Tan Phat Dyrus attended 5 World consecutively though, he was always at World up until he retired. Even Faker, with 3 World Championship, couldn't attend it 4 times consecutively.
SrPotato 222 They neither mentioned Rekkles last year. His moment were wayyy sadder than Dyrus.
Maybe you could make your own video and focus on what you chose.
been here since s2. nice vid
What i find especially interesting is that some champs like J4,Ezreal, Shen are in worlds meta since season 1
WTF? You didn't even mentioned once neither OG nor FNC at worlds 2015, but instead you spoke of C9 1st week? Dude OG went 3-0 the same week and they beat KT (korea) + LGD (china's champion) + TSM... WTF Dude
You didn't even spoke about FNC incredible run at 2017... This is BS
Go make your own channel to mske vids like these :)
@@marxman863 That's a very good argument... There's a huge Bias and all you can say is that? You can't even defend him dude.
Im not gonna forget the time that SKT lost to SSG that made me cry and i finally saw Faker cry.....
Btw im an SKT fan..... Like if your an SKT fan
I think this was a good time to make this video because Riot got a lot of backlash for this years venus and caster conditions so needed a video what reminds us what it's all about
idk why but i got super emotional watching this video. made me so nostalgic.
Awesome video but I have a lot of criticizm. First time I'm watching such video from you guys, but It felt so much NA centered. You are NA based so it makes sense, but if you want to make the greatest esports content you should be more neutral. You didn't said first season who won, which is wierd to put it lightly. Second, you focused on venues which were based on NA and almost nothing said for season 5. It was almost skipped with half the time you given to other worlds. May be it wasn't awesome as other worlds, but its segment was just rushed.
Yes, I'm EU resident. Yes, I'm Fnatic fan, but I don't want to glorify the region or the team particular. Objective statements should include more detailed season 5 recap, and more EU and China teams stories. All video was Korea dominated, NA felt in the groups, M5/Gambit had high expectations (most mentioned EU team), China (rearly said any team name) was on the final and Wild Card team claimed a milestone.
It was a good video for sure, just next time try to add more depth.
RNG 2018 anyone?
Long awaited but it was worth waiting :) Love it!!! :D
Thanks for this amazing piece of content, "it will go in the books"
As a DotA player, I have no interest in LOL. But you guys make great videos, so I'll give this one a watch.
Marin
Bengi
Faker
Bang
Wolf
Best skt for me
"We come a long way from where we began"
Please make something like a second part :O
*insert "Resident slepper" here
If worlds is the most important event of League of legends, it should has the biggest prize pool then huh
They have lcs and other region championships that they give and invest money into also, plus worlds.
Nut head being the biggest doesn't mean you should be the same as Dota's prize pool "facepalm" stupid
But emm... So the biggest prize pool is splitted between Lcs', lck, regionals, and other competitive events or in which event specifically there is the biggest prize pool?
Cause If I'm honest, the event with biggest prize pool is actually worlds with 1 million of $. I don't know, inform me guys xD
am already having fun watching worlds from twich but i need to one day attend it
that dyrus clip where he retires makes me choke up every single time i see it absolute legend
The story of ResidentSleeper tournament lul. Does Worlds even have top 10 iconic or memorable plays that every league kiddies can tell off the top of their heads? Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question ;)
If Korea was able to dominate League so much, why haven't they done the same for a similar MOBA, DOTA 2, and get themselves that TI Money?
DotA, while a moba, is a very different game. It's like the differences between rugby and American football. They look similar at face value, but the underlying microgameplay and even some Macro elements are just so different that any player switching to either game, would need to spend a long time grinding to get to an equivalent level they are at in their current game.
Also they probably have played both but simply enjoy one over the other. For most people the desire to be the best out weighs money.
you dont aim for money when you 1st start, you play because you love it then money comes
+mustard ispagetor
i smell politics with riot.
heres exactly why...….. why in the hell would you worry about other games when you dominate the only moba that actually matters in the world of esports end of story
Dota scene is dead in Korea...the playerbase is really small
This gave me chills and so much happiness
Dyrus speech ar worlds still brings me to tears
