Yess
still the best opening ceremony after all these years
2022 was pretty epic too
@@infwin5944 no, it wasn't
@eujacks7888 why do you think it is?
You mean, the worst ?
@@vxnzmksvvvesjkwo Given that the entire performance was on playback, there was no need for the musicians to be physically present; sound boxes could have effectively replaced their live performance. This approach, while practical, unfortunately detracts from the authentic experience and emotional depth that live music brings to an event.
Literally no one is talking about how difficult it must have been to sing while a dragon is flying right over your head..
kkkkkkkkkk

Their stadium is amazing.
I like how her confidence grew as she kept singing.
She's not nervous.. sometimes due to rigorous practice the voice gets ruined .. She's great singer and also a good handler of crowd ..

Faker still here on the top and making world final 2023, is what represents this songs fully.
Legends never die was meant for the semifinal series. A rematch of faker and ruler in worlds, where ruler was just 2 matches away from the golden road. Faker will take revenge for the flash ult in 2017 and Gumayusi won a 1v2 against Ruler and 369, and won the series 3-1 against JDG
Tf is wrong with people with negative comments. Nobody could perform such a high pitch song infront of such large audience perfectly, without pre-recorded track playing in the background. And Chrissy had the confidence to do it live. She performed the high pitch very well too.
Come to India it's normal here😂
@@imjustamod2396 I'm Indian lol
I mostly see people supporting her, and rightfully so i cant even imagine performing in front of a big crowd let alone a whole frekin dome. And you can still see how she builds ip confidence throughout the performance
Ailee, She can sing. No doubt about it.
Also people are insane if they consider this pitchy. Sure it isn’t 100% accurate to a fully edited sample, but she more than makes up for minor inconsistencies with just power instead. Most live artists can’t even belt their songs this accurate, and they still crush it. Outside of an extremely small list of singers (tori Kelley, Mariah Carey, Alicia keys, Bruno mars, Justin Bieber surprisingly etc) very few singers are borderline robotically accurate like that. It’s just not how the human voice works
Honest: who really just came here to see the dragon?
3:29
Yeah and that bend too
Dean_ Velasco me
Nah. I wanted to see who could sing this song. The first time i heard this was from black plasma studios songs of war. Looked epic.
Me but song was still good
Fun Fact: This is not graphics. They actually found a dragon ant told him to go in there and roar
ant?
o
**Skyrim breathing intensifies**
69 likes and i broke it
Hmmm maybe?😂
Fun fact:- this opening won an emmy award
The Song is all about T1 and Faker. They have fallen but they will never die. After 6 years and now "Gods " T1 and Faker rise again.
All that tremble in her voice, out of pitch .... yeah... who wouldn't be terrified to sing in front of such a gigantic crowd?! I'd probably just faint XD. She stood brave.
i think it just sounds like that cuz there are no technical touch-ups xD she still sings good tho
i actually love how her voice isnt perfect. It adds to the feeling of the whole situation
She's a brave girl! Everyone sees the mistakes she did, but not the bravery and how amazing she was.. It was spectacular performance!.
I knew her toungue slipped! I've been blaming it on my ears being bad for 3 months.. thanks for confirming but her voice is still good
@@ralphemmanuellubay9524 lol🤣
When she says
"*LEGEND NEVER DIE*"
For first time
Literally it gave me Goosebumps.
felt the same😳

Yeah the cringe kind of goosebumps thats about it
imagine what it gave her
@@boomerwithatumor4624 you definitely sing better than her
This is the best opening, every single year I watch the new opening ceremonies, and it isn't the same. 2017 better than any other.
What about 2023
Came here back, after seeing today the League's one and only Legend didn't died, and even took revenge of 2017 with his younger brothers.
Seriously, the game will die one day, but Lee Sang Hyeok will never ever die
Yes, we know you're here after the 2019 ceremony. Welcome back!
yes
And to remember the body bend at worlds mark of hers for the first time
yep
Yes
Lol yes

@LOOΠZ go ask her 😂
lol HHAHHAHA
OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thunderbolt2107 Lol
docters be like : medical miracle
Stunning! She was really off in the beginning but after she landed back with her group, she starting owning it and once the teams came in and dragon left she unleashed the legend within and gave her lungs away
Still my fav-opening. Her voice is incredible and gets stronger after singing a while. I love it. And the part the dragon is entering kills me every time.
She was little nervous to sing, but that piano intro is just legendary
Little mistake at the beginning,but still I think it was one of the best performences in all League opening ceremonys.
@@simon-cg5bd do u know her name?
@@pawejacniak3307 Chrissy Costanza
@@simon-cg5bd thanks a lot :)
She wasn't nervous, the pianist started the song at a lower pitch so that she doesn't tire her throat while singing the high notes. This is normal in all live performances.
She may be nervous. But SHE'S AWESOME.
She still perform better than many other singer
Rock N Mei yup I agree , but she is really good singer and the nervousness killed her lovely voice
Im not surprised shes nervous, thats a lot of people
She is as far from awesome as a singer can be 😉
Her name pls
She wasn't singing on tune at the beginning, however near the mid of the presentation she started singing in tune again, and after the dragon left, she nailed everything perfectly and beautifully.
*No autotune just being real*
.
_Gotta appreciate it_
Ñ
im sure theres some tune correction on her it aint always gotta be auto tune
@@drsauce2574 nope,u can hear her right?
And u know what auto tune does right?
Its in the name
@@rinkashimeshito2231 bro im an audio engineer theres more ways to tune vocals besides auto tune lmao , autotune is a program by antares lmao do you know what auto tune is ? And even with Auto tune u can put vocals in a certain key without even sounding like u have auto tune on like rappers use
@@drsauce2574 She's very cleary off key at many points throughout this video (understably so in front of an entire stadium full of people) which is prove enough that there's probably no pitch correction on her voice. Also, although you're technically correct, acting like autotune hasn't become a common synonym for pitch correction is ridiculous.
The fact that she is out of pitch for almost the whole song proves that shes singing this live......
I would honestly prefer a good song but not live, than this live lol
She's performing in a stadium not in studio. She needs to scream instead of singing in a relax way and I felt pity for her she needs to rush her way to the centre.
You can tell when she's walking down the steps in the beginning that her voice is literally trembling. She gets a little bit more comfortable towards the end, but too little too late. Still, she got up there and did her thing. Can't fault her for being brave.
lol She was trying to be cool the whole time
Do not even know who she is
Scout gang attendence please 🙌
This song is for Faker ! The King of LeagueOfLegend !

How come the augmented reality of 2017 worlds is much better compared to the recent years and this 2023 worlds????
She seems really nervous, I feel bad for her but proud of her amazing performance at the same time! Must have been terrifying, if I had the same skill as her, I would've sounded awful.
yeah you can clearly see how she struggles in preventing the nerves affect her voice while walking but atleast they had her back in worlds 2019 and 2020
Well she had just done more than 200 practises of the same song that very day.dont blame her
yeah i think she handled it REALLY well. she had really natural movements and stage presence for sure. i loved it.
Haha, quite so but don't discount yourself. It's easy to go off-tune during a liveshow. I've sung at events and bars and it's hard to hear myself over the loud music and (sometimes) crowd cheers. That's why singers use in-ear monitors too but even then, anxiety can still throw them off.
I mean her voice might be tired to considering she plays in a band and she is out touring alot. she should be used to big crowds.
Literally 99% of people commented about the dragon and when Chrissy did the 90°
🤣🤣🤣
Her position is just a JoJo's reference
I didnt notice a dragon
Oh nvm
Freaked me out
6년이 지나고 완성된 노래..
A tribute song for Faker GOAT 🏆
She looks like she is ready for the Hunger Games not LoL lmfao
so true!
Its a huge venue not sure if she can hear herself even with an earpiece
Hahahahhaha
@Panicking in Trench yea true she does.
Yea
We just gonna forget the fact that she did a 90 degree angle with her body bent backwards
Instead find 180° bends with Sofie Dossi
IKR!
she does it at every concert
That's kinda her thing, she's done it without fail at every show they've performed.
When?
Still have chills😭🔥, will forever remain my fav song

She still managed to bend while hitting that note even though her voice wasn't in the good condition and she didn't made a good start.Imagine the posibilities lol.

Haha my ears are bleading, no but really can`t you hear how awfull she sings? It`s sad people enjoy tone deaf people singing just because their "pretty". It's as simple as that, that youre a simp😅🤣 embarrasing
Her voice is tired of rehearsing lol. You only saw this performance of her. TBH have you been to her acoustic live for VIPs?How can you tell that her singing is awful. You must observe there are a lot of things to consider. Tired of rehearsals,Huge Crowd,Going down on that stairs and going to the center in a short period of time and you gotta hit that note. Use your small brain.
How much people do you need for one song?

Came here after the Worlds 2023 teaser :')
I am not crying...
Who came here after 2023 worlds?
As soon as she sang "Legends never die" and thr crowd cheered, I got goosebumps
See you all guys in 3 years when it's recommended
Or now lol
Right now
Recommended 3 years after release
Wow
How many times do I have to read the same comment.
For me it is still the best opening of all time.
Agree
still the best opening ceremony ever !
She seemed nervous at the start, but damb, she started OWNING! She found her confidence the closer she got to the audience. She rules! 1:00
nope.
first i thought like "oof, she does not hit a single note" but then she recovered pretty fast
I don’t think it’s her getting close to the crowd but getting closer to the band, you don’t know how much more confidence being near others gives you
Cause legends never die!
@@astrawallace5913 This is due to the fact that while walking you lose your breath and in general you are distracted, nervous, etc., because she needs to have time to get there, and as soon as she got there, she was then able to concentrate completely on the performance
She probably couldn't hear herself because of the instrumentals, when she sings alone in 2:34 it is much more in tune.
It's possible, but they usually have special ear buds in their ears to better hear selves and check if there in tune. Since the instrumentals can be really loud.
yes she's wearing one, but the volume on the voice is so low she has to scream and its really hard to scream in tune
plus there are amps pointing at them so they hear themselves but if they have low volume you cant hear yourself either
There is a thing called monitor speaker,
I mean her performance of phoenix proves shes a good singer soo yaknow
This 2017 moments will overshadow all the future opening ceremony...
Crissy slayed it... She did this song justice.... This the best opening performance ever even after watching 3 years later...
3:00 when the dragon lands from it's hop you can hear a light "clack" which I'm guessing is supposed to be it's nails hitting the stadium. The attention to detail is amazing.
And the Dragon has a shadow
Take a look at minute 3:23 and pause per frame when the dragon fly away from the stadium and take a look on the shadow
Edit:pause right at 3:25 and take a look on the shadow
