LoL’s Worlds 2024 Anthem has a hidden reference to an iconic Faker quote

As a dedicated fan with a deep-rooted appreciation for League of Legends and its rich lore, I find myself utterly enamored by the level of detail that went into crafting this year’s Worlds anthem music video, “Heavy Is The Crown”.


The video for League of Legends 2024 World’s anthem Heavy Is The Crown features a hidden reference to an iconic quote by pro player Faker.

2024’s League of Legends Worlds anthem has just been unveiled, and it turns out that American rock group Linkin Park will be performing their track “Heavy Is The Crown”. After much anticipation, the band was announced as this year’s performers. While the sound is a shift from what we’re used to for Worlds, fans have shown enthusiasm for the new tune regardless.

Accompanying the tune, we also got a spectacular music video showcasing several professional players in their champion roles, with Faker, the monarch revered by many in the gaming community, featured prominently.

In addition, the video was filled with numerous subtle nods to various League of Legends esports players and events. Yet, there’s one possibly overlooked reference that even some dedicated fans might have missed, as it alludes to one of the most legendary phrases in the history of LoL.

In our conversation, we delved into the intricate details about this: The Korean text next to Azir says “모든 길은 결국 저를 통합니ni,” which is famously known as Faker’s iconic quote, meaning “all roads lead to me.” Here it is broken down for your ease!

A Twitter user found that the Heavy Is The Crown music video is packed with intricate details. For example, in a brief instant, Faker takes off his cloak, and the scene swiftly changes into an animated depiction of Azir.

Although it’s fleeting for just a moment, sharp-eyed viewers spotted Korean writing next to Azir, which translates to Faker’s famous quote “All roads lead to me” in Korean. This hidden gem wasn’t only intriguing, but it underscores the meticulous work the developers put into creating this video.

The quote, originating from the second day of semifinals in the T1 vs JDG matchup in 2023, was Faker speaking to Ruler, saying, “Ruler, never forget that every path leads to me.” This statement was accompanied by the anthem “Legends Never Die,” amplifying the excitement for the event.
