There's a lot to break down with the Rise video, considering lore points. The entire video is referenced to players and teams that have challenged for the Worlds title and each player has been assigned their (mostly) iconic champion, such as Perkz playing Yasuo (first fight you see in the field) The other player, Ambition at the start picks up the weapons of the champions he plays, Kha'zix, Jarvan and Sejuani, he uses Kha'zix weapons against Perkz (these two did face off against each other in the tournament). You were right about the banners being teams that have been at Worlds. These were all teams that have fought and tried to win the title but never made it, hence their banner is destroyed slightly. Ambition then goes up against Uzi in the fiery cave, Uzi plays the champion Vayne, a favourite pick from him as he was considered one of the best Vayne players in the game, also considered the best player in his role, ADC (Attack Damage Carry) Ambition uses his champ Sejuani, another Jungler champion who he plays to take down Uzi. The video is to symbolise the climb (and the RISE) to the top to be champion, and the last fight you see is the player Faker, who people consider the greatest League player of all time and was also considered to be the final boss, in order to win Worlds, it was a requirement you take down Faker to be the best team in the world. Faker plays his champion Ryze, one of his pocket picks at the time and fights Ambition for the Worlds title at the very top. At the top, there's statues holding a team's logo, all of these teams have won the Worlds tournament, so this is the peak to become champion, to put your spot onto the statue for your team, which Ambition does. There's so much to the lore for this video based on the previous Worlds events that I won't put all here., even the statues in the background have symbolism to champions who have won titles for players. EDIT: added more stuff to this.

For KDA, you already know Ahri, the 9-tailed fox. The others are: Akali (the girl with the face mask/scarf). She's a Kunoichi (female ninja) Evelynn (the girl with the round glasses and long "claws"). She's a demon/succubus. Kai'sa (the girl with the shoulder cannons/wings). Human who fell in the void, but survived by sheer force of will and gained powers from it. Also, Ahri is doing laundry because a long time ago, Riot gave her a Pop Star outfit (which you can see in her laundry basket). But now she's in a "new group" so it's likely to show the transition to the new outfit. and small detail I like that not many people picked up on: During Akali's rap part, as she moves her hands around, you see bits of wet paint fly off from her hands, because it's all still fresh paint :P

Actually the only thing that was weird was the guy he fought in the field where their weapons wad cutting the grass. No one in the tournament used that champion. Also the protagonist had 3 weapons for 3 chracters, the spear, the one where you throw it around, and the mantis claws. The guy he fought with a crossbow he actually lost to them in a previous match that's why his eye glass was broken, also if you noticed the lighting arrow that destroyed a shuriken during after the field fight it was actually the same guy he best later, also during after the fight with the crossbow guy where he was running along rocks before he reached the top, in the background the clouds were actually in the form and shapes of the skins that they won, you see the first video he watched was after they already won the world championships, also the world champs can each choose any hero/Champion of their choosing to get a skin line of their own commemorating their win. Also the guy with the book actually he lost to them the year before he lost 2-3 in the finals and when he reached the top the statues were actually the previous winners so basically he entered the world champions rooms.

Ahri Fun Fact: The dirty laundry you see her with is a reference to her Popstar skin. It's meant to symbolise her growing up from being a teen star into her more mature K/DA identity.

What i like about Chris : 1-The way he moves his hands sometimes 2-The way youtube keeps reminding him of upgrading his internet 😂

About giant Evelynn(girl with circle pink glasses) in the end of KDA- Popstars, in one of dev post Riot said that they were inspired by her gameplay style. She is a jungler (her job is to gank lines) and has permanent invisibility after 6 lvl and when she is out of combat, so when you play against her it feels like she can be anywhere. " A giant threat that everyone see." P.S. KDA has more views because they're famous outside of LoL community. In 2018 Pop/Stars had 1st place in World Digital Songs chart.

First person that i watch that actually gets what RISE was about.

They actually used the professional players themselves as the character models in this music video bro. They are equipped with the weapons of their signature Champions. Like in the first battle, the main character is using Kha'zix' Claws vs the other guy using Yasuo's (aka Yone's Brother) Sword. Just in case you wanted to know more, the other Champions showcased in this video were Sejuani (MC with Flail) vs Vayne (Guy with Crossbows) + Jarvan IV (Spear & Banner) vs Ryze (Book & magic)

Low-key binge watching and looking for this then a notification popped up an I 😍

one of the thing i love about this cinematic is 5:03 the attacks you see in the sky are the moves of two champions.. showing you, you're not the only one fighting.. ''Welcome to the climb up, reach for the summit''

You need see more Leagues of Legends and Legends of Runaterra hahaha you're awesome 😄

Other AWESOME cinematic you're missing are "The Climb" and "Senna: Shadows embrace"... these two are connected. "The Light Within" is a good one too.

24:23 actually the final guy named Lee Sang-hyeok known as Faker but they call them "The Unkillable Demon King" as the matter of fact he is really humble and straight forward guy that is why im one of his million fans around the world.

K/DA being very surreal is not only an art choice, but surprisingly in line with the characters used for the group: We have one returned from the Void (basically shadow/demon realm), a ninja specializing in ambushing from smoke cover and two seductresses/charmers (one more sinister than the other). They all mess with your perception of reality. Ahri's kiss she blows at the viewer after unfolding her tails is one example of that. She just charmed the viewer and they lose all grip on reality, causing the room to fall apart into a surreal landscape. Same for Evelynn who plays with your perception between her regular look, the smokey dark form or as a giantess in the background; and Akali who is only really active if she's shrouded in darkness (and black light), but timid when in light - to the reveal that the "real" train car has been shredded by ninja tools. Kai'Sa on the other hand seems to be able to navigate all that, due to her experience in the Void.

He's like a little kid reacting to this hahahah it's cute

Ahri: *exists* Weebs: "Why get only SOME tail when you could get NINE tails?"

Watch Star Guardian: Burning Bright Star Guardian: New Horizon Star Guardian: Light and Shadow!!! Xayah and Rakan: Wild Magic

nobody: chris connor: whaaaat whaoaaoaooaouuuuu

"Oh C'mon youtube, you had one job!" This made me laugh way harder than I likely should've lol

I love how the retreating camera in the K/DA video is basically what the song is about. "You will never reach us. We are so awesome. You can never keep up with us." It's also cool how Evelynn is only in the middle of the screen for more than a split second when she's in the shadow. Really great at showing her personality. And her scarf thing is surrounding the others. During Akali's rap and the ending. Evelynn is there. Evelynn is in control. She is the leader of the group from the shadows.

for your info, both mv are premièred in world league of legends tournament. but K/DA is also served as promotion video for new skins of these 4 characters.

Oh my god, he actually understood Rise.... that’s the first for me, all of the other people I watched they didn’t say anything about it or didn’t know what it was about. Thank you for knowing what Rise was about!!!!!!

He points out all the cool parts that wowed me, but also points out the subtle stuff that makes me love these videos even more. I don't even know how many times I've watched POP/STAR and never noticed the camera is constantly zooming out!

GIANTS might be another you'll like. Similar in the fact that it is a music video but it has a great animation style for a League video. Same for the one called As We Fall. The Cataclysm cinematic for World of Warcraft is another goodie you can give a watch. It stars Neltharian, or rather, his now corrupted being called Death Wing. The game Destiny has some fun ones, that might be a whole video for you in of itself because there's a few that all kinda happen one after the other. FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn - End of an Era is an amazing one too. And it's like 5+ minutes long. A super short one that may not be long enough for a video, but a great watch, would be Senua's Saga: Hellblade II's trailer. There's a lot out there, can't wait to see what else you react to. :)

So, for the RISE: Opening scene as like a cemetery from previous World Championships, surrounded by parts of weapons of League champions with logos of defeated teams. Main character is a player called Ambition, who is trying to win this with his Samsung Galasxy team. He picks up three weapons of three champions he plays: the claws of Kha'Zix, the spear of Jarvan IV and the mace of Sejuani. He then travels through the "championship", if you look into the background you can see huge profiles of various league champions in every region. So the frist "boss" if team called G2 and their most famous (at that time) player Perkz portrayed as Yasuo. Ambition uses ability and weapon of Kha'Zix to go stealth and defeat G2. Then he proceed to play-offs in championship where he fight the second very famous across the world player Uzi (portrayed as his most famous champion Vayne) and team Royal Never Give Up. He uses Sejuani's skills and weapon to defeat him (fun fact, in post-credits scene we see him not finally defeated. That's because in 2018 he and his team were the favourites of the world championship). Then he proceeds to the final arena. There are 6 statues with logos of previous champions - Fnatic, Taipei Assassins, SK Telecom T1 (3 times) and Samsung Galaxy White. There he meets the final boss. Most famous LoL player of all-time, the GOAT, the myth, the man, the legend - Faker. And his team SK Telecom T1. You see team logo on his chest with 3 stars on it - his 3 World Championship wins. Faker portrayed as Ryze, Ambition uses his last weapon - Jarvan's spear to defeat Faker and become 2017 LoL World Champion. Logo of his team appears on the statue in the arena of last battle. And you can see new players and logo og their teams-participants of 2018 Worlds, climbing up to the cup. There are tons of different details and easters eggs across the video, even starting ambient is actually a commentators of 2017 finals.

So in the Rise cinematic all of the characters represent mvp players from previous championship (i do believe this was made for 2018 tourney, so the cinematic itself shows people from 2017). Notice how every player uses a pretty specific kind of "weapon", it represents the legend they used in the tournament. Main character has three, as he played three different legends in 3 matches. His first opponent is supposed to represent Yasuo (legend from one of the cinematics you already saw before), next one is Vayne and last one is Ryze. They also each, of course, represent their team. Also in the end you can see emblems on statues, those are supposed to represent previous tournament winners. I really liked how Riot really immortalized a tournament with this cinematic, shame they didn't keep this kind of style for later tournaments.

This is one of the best mornings i had, i woke up right to this, amazing.

About the Laundry thing, I thought it was really weird too, but actually was just to show those clothes beside her. It was a previous Kpop skin in the game, in which she was in a "solo carreer". Guess it was more of an easter egg.

Wow I never noticed that in Pop Stars the camera only moves backwards. This is so interesting and I love the effect it creates. Like even though they are beautiful girls and you'd want to move towards them, it creates a sense of distance and respect - they are so powerful that you always have to make space for them.

You singing along to kda was also kinda cute.

Explanation: He's climbing to the top by winning. those characters he's fighting are League of Legends greatest gamers in e-sports, which he needs to defeat before climbing to the top and become the champion.

League of Legends' new World's championship song/music video just came out and I think you might like it! Rise was the World's 2018 song. This 2020 one is called Take Over. Some background before you watch it: It's been a decade since League came out. This music video is going to feature several of previous Worlds' key winners.

The real life story of the main character in RISE, known as Ambition, is a cool story as well. He's always been ranked as one of the best players (a jungler) but he never won the series in Korea until that year. It was basically the curse of his team, so finally winning it and qualifying for the World Cup was the road/climb to the championship and the backbone of the story of RISE. Its a shame his team didn't win the World Cup, it would have been that perfect story if you know what I mean.

Lol I love how he apparently has no idea what e-sports are, but honestly he could recruit me into a cult, he´s so hot...

This might've been explained already, but my reason why Ahri is in the laundry room is because she used to have a different skin called "Popstar Ahri", it's kind of a symbol of her "washing" off her previous image, to become more of a "mature" artist with this new group. You can see her previous outfit in the laundry basket. Hence why I have that reasoning behind my theory.

The coolest thing about rise is the literal hundreds of references in the animation. Here's just a few: 1) the main guy (jungler for SSG) has 3 weapons, Sejuani's flail, Jarvan's spear and Khazix's claws. His 3 signature characters 2)the guy with the crossbow is UZI, one of the best players in China as his signature character, Vayne 3) the guy with the large scroll on his back is Faker, one of the best pro players, as one of his famous characters, Ryze 4) the guy with the sword is Perkz, an amazing European midlaner as his signature character, Yasuo

A Total War: Warhammer cinematic could be a fun to break down.

I Think u should react to the fiddlestick cinematic Fiddlestick: Terror in Demacia

Why these 2 videos are so different is simply: The first one is a hype up video for an upcoming tournament that is meant to tell a story of how a player that people didn't believe in took down all the big players last year. It's way more of a cinematic rather than a music video. The second one is a song with a music video made to promote purchasable in game cosmetics (skins). That's why they focus a lot on colors, looks and style. There is no story to this one. It's simply meant to be cool and make you want to have your own kpop looking Ahri ingame. It worked on me that's for sure.

At the beginning those are all characteristic weapons of the champions from league. He chose the two purple claws (Kha'zix), the blue crystal thingy (sejuani) and the spear/banner (Jarvan). So at the start its like he's selecting his champion pool to play with. On the first battle in the meadow, when thunder strikes right about the end of the fight you see in the background the shadows of the champions they are representing - Kha'zix and Yasuo.

I really think you should do this shirtless. Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️

Lmao i was just thinkin that

So the easteregg in Ahri doing laundry is that it’s a meme that Ahri is favored when it comes to getting skins. So her laundry are her skins. You can see her base red and white clothes , her Star Guardian uniform and her original 2013 Popstar outfit in the basket.

10:54 right when you snapped i got an ad

5:54 When english words suddenly are not enough anymore to express how you feel and you drop a "sugee" on us, lol!

Funny thing is, I didn't even pay that much attention to the laundry part before you pointed it out. Ahri already had an much older Pop Star skin, and the clothes (especially the hat) are a reference to that, sort of like "old clothes".

The subway scene with Akali rapping in the blacklight? Neat little detail they added in: Akali swipes her hand at the beginning, bonking the "camera" and leaving a little of the fluorescent liquid on the lens. It lasts a few cuts back and forth, but then it disappears, probably because they used a different take. Even though it's totally animated, and no real camera existed, they deliberately animated it as if there were a camera.

In Rise they combine the designs / gear of character with an artistic version of players. It is based on Worlds 2017. The protagonist is Ambition from team Samsung Galaxy, which won said championship. The opponents are Perkz (as Yasuo), Uzi (as Vayne), and Faker (as Ryze).

9:30 Chris: "OHHH that was sick." Ahri fanbase: "I see you're a man of culture as well."

The one with pink glasses is Evelynn akali is the the one with the mask and hat and kai sa is the one with the two flying things next to her

”オオオオ　すげ” - Chris in almost every reaction haha "we are trust me" haha

in the start of Rise it's champion equipment, and btw, KDA video is kind of add for in-game(pop-themed) skins, they did a similar thing with Pentakill band and I love it both)

Fun fact, K/DA has actually released they’re second song lately, which is a Lyrics Video, but I still really recommend it. And let me explain to you the K/DA girls. 1. Ahri, the charming nine tailed fox K/DA skin is actually a SEQUEL skin to her Popstar skin, which is a pretty old, well, pop star skin of hers. She’s the only K/DA skin that is a “sequel” of sorts. You can actually see in the laundry crate next to her her Popstar outfit. Its symbolism for her changing her style, becoming older and more high fashion and sort of “washing away” her past. 2. Evelynn, the sexy and shadowy demon/succubus. In original lore shes a shapeshifter who lures men and possibly even women to torture for her own pleasure. It’s possible she’s also this demonic lady in K/DA, due to her K/DA bio on the League of Legends Universe page saying that those who date her mysteriously disappear, whoever she always denies to have anything to do with them. She’s Ahris best friend in K/DA universe and both of them created the band. She’s also a popular Diva. 3. Akali, the epic ninja, is the rapper of K/DA. Raised in a ninja temple, Akali would rather rap on the streets instead. Her street raps gained her a lot of popularity on the internet that eventually reached Ahri and Evelynn, leading them to wanting her to join. Like in original lore, she was raised in a ninja temple, only to abandon it and its ways. 4. Kai’Sa the beautiful dancer. Sadly she doesn’t have much lore to her K/DA personality, except that shes a worldwide traveler due to her fathers job. The reason she’s a dancer is cause in Kpop culture, the dancer is as important as anyone else in the group. They make the groups dances that often times become super viral if they’re a popular group, and Kai’Sa definitely delivered a very popular dance. The relation I can make to her in original lore to the K/DA is that she traveled a lot due to her father, the difference is, in original lore her father did it for survival if I remember correctly.

Also the colours in Rise starts as bronze then change through silver/gold/platinium/diamond/master and challenger. So it's basically climb in ranked matches in actual game. Fun fact pointed out by someone under original video.

in the battle in the grass the protagonist's weapons are Kha'zix's (an assassin) and his opponent was using Yasuo's (a samurai/warrior) sword. The second battle in the cave the protagonist uses Sejuani's (a tank) ice flail, and his opponent is using Vayne's (an ADC) two crossbows. In the final battle at the peak of the mountain, the protagonist uses Jarven IV's spear/lance and his opponent uses Ryze's spell book and scroll. sorry if the explanation is confusing, love your channel and videos btw

The 4 Characters in Rise are Ambition (the climber) and his weapons represent Kha'zix, Sejuani, and Jarvan IV respectively; Perkz (the swordsman) whose weapon is for Yasuo, Uzi (the arrow guy) is representing Vayne, and Faker (the spellcaster) is representing Ryze. Faker is the only one of the bosses that was a world champion, but each boss represents a player that Ambition played at a Worlds to prove his worth and ascend to the top.

To this day Rise still gives me chills. Such good story and visual integration.

Don't know if anyone mentioned, but there is a Popstar Ahri skin, that was released way before K/DA Ahri. So she is in the laundry, symbolizing a career change. You can see her popstar clothes in the basket on the washing machine. Btw, the champs are Evelynn (sunglasses), Akali (funky colors, spray can and face mask), Kai'sa (with flying thingies behind her shoulders) and Ahri.

the story of RISE is about the player ambition, a player for the team Gen.G and how they won worlds. he has the weapons of three different champions, khazix, sejuani, and jarvan (in order), the champions he used to great effect in the playoffs for the world championship. they do something similar for the other three characters - perkz has yasuo, uzi has vayne, and faker has ryze. the story is of his climb in worlds 2017 because his team wasn't seen as the strongest (if i recall correctly) and they managed to beat some of the strongest teams in the tournament to win. at the end his team's logo is put on one of the statues, and across the other statues there are logos of the past teams who won worlds.

@20:39 if you notice the shadows in the clouds, they don't match the players directly. The shadows actually represent the characters they're portraying with their weapons and fighting style. This is also reflected in the two other fights. There's just the tiniest frame where you see the character itself as reference. I actually like that touch a lot. And the different "vibe" you get from the two videos is normal: Rise is meant as a music video representing the intensity of fights in the game. KDA is meant as an actual KPop Music Video, as if they were a real band, performing their music video.

I dont know more cinematics than the ones you already but others will, cant wait to see more thank you brother for a good watch, take care

The thing is, that the main character (Ambition) was the best player the 1st years of League, Then out of nowhere SKT T1 found a new random player that wasnt famous at all... It was Faker (the guy at the end of the cinematic, He pretty much took Ambitions reputation and Ambition got ashamed because he lost to a "newbie" Ambition had really Hard Times after he lost to him (yall can watch Exils video about Ambition) , He wanted to leave profesional scene but He kept on trying to win the championship, after all those years he did it (as shown in the cinematic) Then he left the profesional scene as a legend. Thanks for Reading :)

great reaction and nice info. maybe someone already said it but Ahri being in that washroom with the clothes is cause of her Popstar Skin being old and now having her new self in KDA. Correct me if i made a mistake ;)

I think the story behind the ahri scenes is that she used to be a normal girl doing laundry, and after we get our eyes on her she reveals herself as a true "Popstar". In 32:12 we see the birth of a star, an expanding univers (ahris baby pose inside the lights) and she again reveals as a star.

ahri had a skin in game popstar, and this is her dress so she basically saying she is no longer solo singer but joined group K/DA. Also the rise song is about ambition player who finally manage to became WORLD CHAMPION, the characters he was fighting are the players from the teams he faced in worlds 2017 in the END he and his team manage to win WORLD CHAMPION.

The best about Rise, is that it tells the story of the worlds, everything there has a motive. You can look for easter eggs in that video, it has a lot

K/da is a fictional girl group made by Riot consisting Akali = Soyeon, Ahri = Miyeon (from (G)I-dle) Evelynn = Madison Beer and Kai'Sa = Jaira Burns. In their new song "The Baddest" Its Akali = Soyeon, Ahri = Miyeon, Kai'Sa = Wolftyla, Evelynn = Bea Miller. (I also recommend on checking out although its just the song not an MV like Popstars.)

There are a lot of suggestions for cinematics, but here's mine: There are four cinematics that would make sense to watch in succession: 1. Tales of Runeterra: Shadow Isles 2. Senna: Dark Passage 3. The Climb 4: Senna: Shadow's Embrace First one sets the stage, it helps for exposition. The next 3 have a followed narrative, with "The Climb" having more stuff in it.

he looks so professional but acts like a child, I love it

in Rise, those are the players in forms of the Characters they were playing (in Worlds Championship). Notice the guys had 3 weapons, used one for each fights as he claimed. You can see the Shadows of those 3 Characters in each fight. Duel blades, as Kha'zix, Shadow on the Cloud 20:36 . The String thingy, as Sejuani, on the Lava wall 23:37 . and the Spear, as Jarvan 4, 25:09 . The last boss was Faker, btw, every League players are fans of him.

Hi I just want to clarify what had happened in the Rise music video. It is about esport players teams and basically the LOL esport world championship called Worlds. A Worlds event is held every year and its the biggest and most important tournament of the year. Every Worlds has a song made for it.(2014 Worlds was the first to have a song) Rise is the 2018 Worlds song. It portrays the events of 2017 Worlds where a dynasty has been ended. The story starts with a graveyard . It's the graveyard of 2016 Worlds. All the flags represent teams that didn't make it to the finals. The protagonist (His name Ambition playing for Samsung Galaxy (SSG))wakes up after losing the finals against SKT T1(SKT)(SKT was considered the best team at the time they have won 2015 and 2016 Worlds. (2013 too but they had a slump after that)One of thier players named Faker is still considered the greatest player of all time.I write this cuz I want you to understand how big is the name Faker or SKT is and how menacing it was to face them.) He picks up his weapons representing in game champions .Kha'zix is the first the mace is for Sejuani and the spear is for Jarvan. His mosz iconic champs I would say. And goes straight to climbing to get to Worlds again but this time to win it all. There is a time skip after that . And they are at Worlds again.(Worlds consists of a group stage and a knockout stage) The first fight takes place in the group stage against G2(G2) and Perkz who is playing for G2.(he is representing Yasuo) Ambition beats him. After that still in the group stage Ambition meets Royal Never Give up (RNG) and Uzi who is playing for RNG (he is representing Vayne) Ambition escapes but does not beats Uzi and RNG signifying that SSG has lost both matches against RNG in the group stage. However , from each group 2 teams qualify for the knockout stage and SSG got out as the second seed (it was group C with G2 from EU thier score:3-3 RNG from CHINA thier score:5-1 SSG from Korea thier score:4-2 Fenerbaçhe from Turkey thier score:0-6) After that there is another time skip . It skips out quarter finals against Longhu .(LZ) LZ was considered the heavy favorite SSG beat them 3-0. It also skips semi finals against WORLD ELITE (WE). And now to the finals against SKT and Faker.(representing Ryze)(SKT has beaten RNG in the semi finals). The statues with the orbs are representing other Worlds winning teams. And SSG beats SKT and wins Worlds. He reavealed as Ambition and then we see other players and teams climb up. After that we can see Uzi hearing the same crows from the beginning. It's bcs RNG with Uzi was 2018 Worlds's favorite after winning the other big international event called MSI. But they lose to G2 and later (IG) Invictus Gaming wins the whole event . Sry if not everything is understandable but there is a lot of information.

Now some fun details about Rise, the main guy actually carries 3 weapons of 3 characters. He has Kha'Zix arms as scythes, Sejuanis crystal rock thing, and Jarvans spear. The enemy characters only represent one champion however, first Yasuo, then Vayne, and lastly Ryze. There are also these different shadows/ghost like figures in the middle of a fight represents those characters, even before the big duel, you have Yasuo and Khazix in the background at like 20:36. Each of the guys however are actual people who compete in the greatest League esports tournament, Worlds. The most recognizable is the last one who represents Ryze, a player named Faker, and one of the greatest esports legends.
