2024 League Of Legends World Championship – Heavy is the Crown

The 2024 Worlds Music Video envisions renowned League of Legends pro player Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok as a newly crowned king as he battles a legion of aspiring rulers who arrive on his doorstep. Through the story of a warrior fighting to protect a kingdom under siege, the video honors Faker and T1's victory at Worlds 2023 while embodying the powerful spirit of League players. It also celebrates the rich history of kingdoms and dynasties in London, where the Worlds Finals will take place on November 2, 2024.

"It's been an amazing experience partnering with Riot to bring this anthem to the global League of Legends community," said Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. "The song is a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy. We're so excited for players and fans to experience this!"

"The Worlds anthem is the music moment that League of Legends players look forward to the most each year, and it has become a highly coveted fixture in music across the world," said Maria Egan, Global Head of Music at Riot Games. "As the band embarks on this exciting new chapter, we're honored to partner with them for the 2024 anthem. The lyrics for 'Heavy Is The Crown' perfectly capture the narrative for this year's Worlds, and they are a powerful companion to the themes of our music video."
