The World Championship of League of Legends has started. In a new music video for Worlds 2025, some participants are depicted as gods and tribute is paid to a deceased player.
What is this music video about? On the YouTube channel of League of Legends, a music video was uploaded at the start of Worlds 2025 on October 14 to get fans excited for the event. As usual, many of the participants are portrayed in an animated trailer with the new Worlds song as the superstars of the MOBA. This time they are even shown as true gods.
The music video was supposed to be released earlier, but Riot announced that they had revised the trailer. Pro player Bwipo, who had attracted attention just weeks before Worlds due to misogynistic comments, was cut out afterwards.
Here you can see the new music video to the “gods” of League of Legends:

Which deceased player was honored? At the end of the music video, images of several scenes from all World Championships are shown. The last image of this retrospective depicts former pro and midlaner Shushei holding the Worlds trophy.
Shushei passed away on April 28, 2025, at the age of 36 due to cancer complications. In 2011, he won the first trophy of Worlds with his team Fnatic.
What do fans say about the video? On YouTube, the music video “Sacrifice ft. G.E.M.” has already been clicked over 4 million times. Fans of LoL and the pros are writing many positive comments regarding the tribute to Shushei and the increased presence of Europe’s greatest hope, the midlaner from G2, Caps.
- HeisenbergFam comments under the video: “Incorporating Shushei into the music video is one of the most heartwarming moments ever.”
- The user darkline2142 was brought to tears: “Showing Shushei with a trophy is simply a huge win. Honestly, it brought me to tears.”
Who is the greatest hope of Europe? The midlaner of G2 Esports calls himself Caps and is considered one of the best players in the world. With his team, he has already won several titles in the European league and has a significant presence in the music video. Fans say he appears even more often than the last world champion Faker.
Together with Caps, a German pro also plays in the team. The top laner Brokenblade discussed his position in an interview with MeinMMO after the last win in the LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs: A position in LoL is considered particularly boring, but one of the best players from Germany explains in the interview why that is not true
