Why We Love League Music

League of Legends didn't just create a game โ€” they created a musical universe. Over the past decade, Riot Games has partnered with world-class artists, composed stunning orchestral scores, and produced music videos that rival anything in the mainstream music industry.

The Impact: These aren't just video game songs. K/DA - POP/STARS has over 600 million views and spawned real-world concerts. Warriors introduced millions to League through mainstream radio play. Pentakill released actual albums that charted on Billboard. Awaken showcased animation quality that set new standards for the industry.

The Evolution: From early champion login themes to full-fledged music videos with narrative arcs, League's music has evolved alongside the game. Each year brings new innovations โ€” virtual bands, animated cinematics, live orchestral performances, and collaborations with top-tier artists.

The Community: League's music transcends the game. Fans who've never played League discovered it through music videos. Players bond over favorite songs. Worlds anthems become yearly traditions. This music has become part of gaming culture itself.

We created this tournament to celebrate all of that โ€” and to give the community a fun way to engage with this incredible musical legacy.
