The place at the start wasn’t ‘random’ btw, it’s the top of the O2 arena which is the stadium in which the final was held😭 you can climb it with harnesses
So I watched the tournament from beginning to the end and when the music video was released for Heavy is the Crown it did great for the western audiences but it didn’t do so well in Korea and in China. The main reason it didn’t do well was simply because traditionnally in League, the Worlds Teaser only includes the players as well as in-game characters but this year LP was added in the mix and people felt like they were too present in the video considering it’s suppost to be all about the players and not the band. There was more criticism about other things as well but that was the main one and that’s why imo Emily didn’t take as much place as she could on stage and she kind of stayed there. I think she prob got told it’s all about the players and didn’t want them to be the main part of the performance. It’s all speculation obviously but I think considering the facts it kinda makes sense :)
The first two artists are performers first and singers second. Emily is a singer first and performer second (if that makes sense) I'm not trying to diminish their singing talent but that's definitely what the roles were at this specific event. While I don't think that the first two performances were fully lip-synced like some others claim, they certainly had tones of autotune and the a lot of enhancement. Emily's (and MIke's) performances were a lot more raw (not claiming without any enhancement at all, because you can definitely hear some echoes and stuff in the background), but definitely a lot more raw compared to the first two performances. The singers in the first two performances were allowed to move and dance more because they didn't have to focus so much on their voice. If Emily started dancing all over the place, her vocal performance wouldn't be as good. You have to remember that singing the way she does is taxing, if you watch Chester's live performances, he's almost always sweating lol. While, she still could've moved a bit more around the stage, maybe between her verses, I don't think she was completely static or anything. She was probably hella nervous too. + In the end it was probably Riot's creative decision to have those choreographed numbers for the first two and then just have Linkin park perform a banger as they would at a concert.
Probably intentional, last year's opening took a lot of criticism because of that, so LP probably arranged sth like that to show that they're not lip-synching and avoid more drama.
@@marwinnazon7129 no the white cloth kinda represents morgana before she started using her powers, shes a "pure" aspect as one of the daughters of the aspect of justice.
Someone else said it too and ok, I get it, but it wasn’t immediately obvious for me and even though I loved the styling, I would’ve never guessed morgana
@@ConnorAndChipsy At 3:41 , right before she drops the white robes, you can see her start using her chains(dark magic) therefore changing her outfit from pure to dark. just fyi
Why is she not moving more.. maybe because she actually singing live trying to hit the notes with mic in hands.. not like these other 3 ala singers with lip syncing... What you can clearly see on close up shots, glad they at least give them small mic near mouth for immersion
Emily was awesome. but I think her and mike were saving energy. they have a show in Paris the next day(today oct 3rd) and then next week they have shows in Colombia and Texas. so I understand if they were saving energy for next shows.
I was thinking that they might’ve been instructed to perform a certain way and yeah it wasn’t as energetic as you’d expect I guess, but it was good regardless
@@ConnorAndChipsy that could have been also an explanation. I mean that crowd is not exactly the normal LP crowd. these are gamers. I mean LP had songs n the transformers soundtrack and one of Emily's songs is on one of the need for speed games. but dont think all of them are gamers. and understand this crowd.
@@ConnorAndChipsy If you look at the stage lights, Wolf and Lamb are above them watching. The same way we see Wolf watching Yasuo in Still Here with the eyes in the forest.
Can you not watch these anywhere? Ive never seen leauge not post an opening ceremony. Can find hundreds of reactions already... was it live streamed only?
as i was typing to tell u they normally upload it some hours after the live event finishes, they just uploaded it!! i wont link it since my comment will get flagged but its on the official channel "League of Legends"
Just got back from the live event, yes the fire was most definitely real!
that's INSANE!!!!
The place at the start wasn’t ‘random’ btw, it’s the top of the O2 arena which is the stadium in which the final was held😭 you can climb it with harnesses
By random, I meant the roof, I thought that was clear 😅 having to climb it with harnesses is wild imo
i love how they are able too make full on gamer nerds look badass

That makes A LOT of sense, got that vibe from it too
I don't think Asia side would make a big deal out of it if the animations were good for the Asian players, but y LP took most of the screentime.

The guitar mistake had me dying in laughter when I first heard it during the stream.
Its normal because linkin park no lipsing😅
At least we know they were actually playing live

In the still here performance they are kayle and morgana, not lamb and wolf but it's okay xd
i think they are the two no? like they are two she is clearly kindred in the start maybe double meaning

I would have like to seen more of a performance from Emily, but this was easily the best opening since 2019.
Emily was nervous, yet she delivered
It’s her ✨aura✨, she doesn’t have to do anything and stage presence is still there
@@ConnorAndChipsy She has more stage presence when playing with Linkin Park. She used to be this nervous when she first started out a couple months.
stationary due to flames and all the rules around pyro

such a cool and cosy react! ♥
Thank youuu ❤️
Damn emily's amazing 🤩
5:04 It's not Lamb/Wolf. It's Morgana and Kayle ^^
somehow that's even better, but I thought it was the lamb and the wolf because of the start
@@ConnorAndChipsy If you look at the stage lights, Wolf and Lamb are above them watching. The same way we see Wolf watching Yasuo in Still Here with the eyes in the forest.
I love the detail and the production and just how much thought they put into everything
Even though Linkin Park played live, without playback
"I love how they are lamb and wolf".... excuse me its Morgana and Kayle
exce there are not lamb and wolf they are kayle and morgana !
Can you not watch these anywhere? Ive never seen leauge not post an opening ceremony. Can find hundreds of reactions already... was it live streamed only?

yeah I don't think they've uploaded it yet, but you should be able to find it at the start of the stream
Betttt I love reactions but I was like I wanna watch ittt without extra commentary firstt ty big dawg
Long live linkin park 🩶🔥
Emily's jacket is not a suitable cloth to sing rock song and perform. I'm almost sure, that organizers wished her to wear this jacket on.
Not most random place that’s where they are
The roof? 😂
