In League of Legends, players assume the role of an unseen "summoner" that controls a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team's "nexus", a structure which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures. Each League of Legends match is discrete, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by accumulating items and experience over the course of the game.
League of Legends was generally well received at release, and has grown in popularity. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played. As of January 2014, over 67 million people played League of Legends per month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours.
League of Legends has an active and widespread competitive scene. In North America and Europe, Riot Games organizes the League Championship Series, located in Los Angeles and Berlin respectively, which consists of 10[5] professional teams in each continent. Similar regional competitions exist in China, South Korea, Taiwan, South America, and Southeast Asia. These regional competitions culminate with the annual World Championship, which in 2013, had a grand prize of $1 million and attracted 32 million viewers online. The 2014 and 2015 tournaments each gave out one of the largest prize pools in eSports history, at 2.3 million dollars. Winners also receive trophies, such as the Summoner's Cup, which was made by silversmiths Thomas Lyte.
Awaken ft. Valerie Broussard
League of Legends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A life never lives in peace
As you stand upon the edge
Woven by a single thread
And fate may fall down upon you
While the devil is knocking
Right at your door
Each night you hear the drums of war
Awaken, awaken
The voice begins to call you while you hunger
A taste of destiny you're searching for
Awaken, awaken
The fight is at your door, take up the cause
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
As you stand upon the edge
Hanging in the balance
And fate may fall down upon you
While the devil is knocking
So all you restless
Each night you hear the drums of war (hear the drums of war)
Awaken, awaken
The voice begins to call you while you hunger (while you hunger)
A taste of destiny you're searching for
Awaken, awaken, awaken
The opening lines of League of Legends' song, Awaken, refer to the restlessness of the mind during sleepless nights. It talks about how life is filled with unpredictable twists and turns, and how being at the edge of one's capabilities, one feels as if hanging by a thread. The lines "fate may fall down upon you, while the devil is knocking at your door" paint a picture of impending doom and the need to be prepared for whatever may come. It creates a sense of urgency and the need to awaken to face the trials ahead.
The chorus of Awaken comprises a call to action for the restless, those who can hear the drums of war in the middle of the night. It encourages them to awaken to the voice that calls them and to take up the mantle of destiny. The lines "the fight is at your door, take up the cause" urge the listener to be brave and proactive in the face of adversity. Awaken is a powerful anthem for the hero who dares to rise to the occasion and defy the odds that one may face.

After the fourth shot he's completely vulnerable. So in the last scene he bows in respect for his enemy.

They actually tend to fire staff after videos. Like the person behind Akali's model in Popstars. Didn't even get to attend the release party, let go and walked out of the building suddenly.
