Currently, there are only a few hours left until the Main Event of Worlds 2021 officially kicks off. Among all regions, LPL and LCK are undoubtedly the two names considered strong contenders for the championship. And on their journey to conquer the peak, they will always need the support of a large fanbase from 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 at Worlds 2021. What’s notable is that he didn’t do this alone but also rallied support from his parents.
The cover by this LPL ‘super fan’ has brought immense joy to the online community. In fact, Riot’s Creative Director, Christian Linke, exclaimed: “That’s amazing! An interesting 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, your fan’s cover of this song is the truest cover.”
It’s no longer surprising to see young people passionate about esports. However, being able to rally their parents to join in support of their home teams on the international stage is something that not everyone can achieve. This fan is truly lucky to have a family that supports his esports passion, and the teams from LPL can certainly feel more confident in their journey, knowing they have such loyal supporters behind them.
