With just hours left before the Main Event of Worlds 2021 kicks off, the LPL and LCK regions are the top favorites to take home the championship. On their journey to the top, these teams rely heavily on the passionate support of fans worldwide.
Recently, a clip shared on Reddit caught the attention of the international League of Legends community. An LPL fan named “玩音乐的EZ” covered the Worlds anthem Legends Never Die to cheer on the Chinese teams at Worlds 2021. What makes this cover stand out is that he didn’t do it alone, he recruited his parents to join in.
The LPL fan’s cover quickly won over the online community. Even Riot’s Creative Director Christian Linke was impressed, saying, “This is amazing! A fun fact: Alex Seaver, who wrote the music and lyrics for this song, is a trained cornet player from Juilliard. I believe he even played in one of our orchestra recording sessions. So, in a way, this fan’s cover is the most authentic version you can get.”
Young people passionate about esports are nothing new, but getting your parents involved to support your home teams on the international stage is pretty rare. This fan is lucky to have a family that shares his love for esports. The LPL teams can definitely feel more confident knowing they have such loyal fans backing them every step of the way.
