It’s nice to see the smaller tourneys getting the worlds treatment even if it isn’t as good, it’s still nice and stands out as entertaining and a very good effort!

[cyro]

The bloodmoon vibe was amazing at the start, but honestly the second the anthem came on it just became... Meh. Didn't really like the song this year but it felt like he had no energy to even be there and put on a good show. Really hoping this isn't the standard for World's later this year...

[unknown-pfnz]

People in the comments are delusional. This is not worlds I repeat this isn't worlds so obviously it's not a "big" performance. Still I really liked it although the song in my personal opinion isn't so great but it's still a cool performance especially the yone cosplay

Edit : I know I'm late to the party but just saying that's all

[ronanmackrell]

Che lingo did the rapping portions of the first season of jujutsu kaisen. He made some of the fights feel really cool like todo vs fushiguro

People really thinking this is Worlds 2023.
People, it's MSI 2023.

[GregorifElfeNoir]

That guy was really there to cash his paycheck and go home :/

[mercury]

Loved it! The cosplay was a great touch🔥

[PoeticUnivers]

That's actually awesome. I like the blood moon vibes.

[joshcordova]

Why does riot keep getting such horrible rappers for their live performances. Dude couldn't even rap in rhythm.

[swiip]

opening with such an original theme and then immediately going for the most generic rap-dubstep song I"ve ever heard. Impressive

[ruemaroo]

2023 is quite lackluster in comparison to previous years. I hope it's just due to setbacks of the Hacking and Covid, and that this is resolved for future years.

[goldenhime]

Why are you complaining? This is MSI not Worlds, and this was good for MSI

[cloverring]

If I knew this was happening sooner I'd watch this live! Crazy how great Che Lingo was live!

[Grid]

Unfortnately, not Riot's best opener. I basicially stopped watching after like 2 minutes in. I didn't like the theme or feel at all. You need to do better next year, this wasn't it for you at all.

[MyuNeptune]

Some people in comments mistaken it with World's event. xD

[MaschMa]

nothing bad to say about it, loved it

[TheWarmachine]

Those players are just standing there.

MENACINGLY

[pintachu]

Not a rap person - loved this song and performance. It was authentic and felt like it belonged at a league of legends event!

[kennethabayon]

I really like the rapper he was so talented during the ceremony I❤ League of Legends 🎉

[warrior]

first part was good, and second part I gave the song a chance in the beginning, but in the end it was terrible, rap is not good genre for LOL, it can only be used in combination with other genres, without pure rap parts
