At this moment, only a few hours remain until the Main Event of Worlds 2021 officially kicks off. Among all regions, it is no surprise that LPL and LCK are the two names regarded as contenders for the championship. On their journey to conquer the peak, they will always need the support of a large fanbase around the world.
Recently, a clip shared on Reddit has delighted the international League of Legends community. Specifically, an LPL fan named “玩音乐的EZ” covered the theme song of Worlds, Legends Never Die, to support the teams from China during Worlds 2021. Notably, he didn’t do this alone but also rallied the support of his parents.
The cover by this hardcore LPL fan has thrilled the online community. Even Riot’s Creative Director, Christian Linke, exclaimed: “Incredible! A fun fact: Alex Seaver, who wrote the music and lyrics for this song, is a trained horn player from Julliard Hall. I believe he has also played in one of our orchestra’s recording sessions. So, in other words, this fan’s cover of the song is the truest cover.”
Young people passionate about Esports is no longer a strange thing. But being able to rally their parents to participate in supporting their home teams on the international stage is something not everyone can do. This fan is truly lucky to have a family that supports his passion for Esports, and the teams from the LPL will surely feel more confident on their journey, knowing they have such loyal supporters behind them.
