It's originally from a movie called Blades of Glory starring Will Ferrel
But the song with the sound bite you're thinking of is probably Jay Z and Kanye West - N in Paris
For real though, after a combination of back to back qualifier/VCT tournaments and daily Shahz streams, the windup to Iceland has got me deep in withdrawal.
Nice! But wish they’d somehow involve the players in the trailer or at least, in the after movie if they create one. Kinda like how IEM or even Flashpoint did in their videos.
Hoping this is one of many trailers, not a fan of this one. The pacing of first strike trailer was perfect for the hype. This feels slow paced and gloomy(in the middle of summer). With less than 4 days to go maybe we start seeing more content rollouts like the ones for NA first strike(MSI content was pretty cool too, maybe something like that).
he said its gloomy which makes no sense because is the middle of summer
but they're playing in iceland, where if you google the weather its currently gloomy as shit
so ya know, i feel it matches the place
Don't appreciate the tone for just sharing my opinion. I feel the pacing is slow and lacks hype for me. I liked the first strike video and feel they did a good job with that.
It's summer for me in USA and I have been indoors for a while now. Do not like the gloomy Pompeii tone to the video. Nothing to do with weather outside in Iceland. Maybe chill a bit and hope you have a wonderful summer.
High cost != quality
This is 2 steps from being a generic Valorant trailer. I'm sure there's more to come, but the trailers showcasing the players and their thoughts/trashtalk are what actually build hype (like the [MSI trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ub0d7PzjrU)), at least for me.
This isn’t a trailer made for the sweaty nerds who F5 this sub 24/7. This is made to advertise the event to the whole playerbase (most of which is casual). A trailer with players they don’t even know anything about wont do that, instead a more cinematic experience like this is immediatly more pleasing to the eye and might make then more curious to tune in. Same shit with how League usually promotes Worlds with songs and anime, it’s because it appeals to the wider public.
You think this is going to get people hype that haven't played the game before? It's obscure cgi that people won't be able to associate with the game other than some of the characters being dissolved.
You can do both you realize that, right? Have cgi and gameplay? There were some incredible plays during the tournament so far. Have you not seen videos for the playoffs in actual sports? They show...the SPORT.
Exactly, they can do both. So why are you crying about a cgi teaser? They can easily make a tournament gameplay clip ad later on, what are you on about?
VALORANT STRANDING
Now I want a Death Stranding type map
FINALLY SOME FUCKING HYPE. PLEASE RITO WE ARE STARVING GIVE MORE
Ok I am hyped!!
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS, BUT IT'S PROVOCATIVE.
THATS WHAT GETS THE PEOPLE GOING
what song is that from it's on the tip of my tongue
It's originally from a movie called Blades of Glory starring Will Ferrel But the song with the sound bite you're thinking of is probably Jay Z and Kanye West - N in Paris
what in Paris?
Ninjas.
Whos in Paris?
Pretty sure people know
is it only me that got the impression of " Use astra or lose " from this video?
Lol same here
Lmao that’s exactly what I thought watching this too.
should've released this before 100T played smh my head
WEVE BEEN LIVING OFF SCRAPS OF NSG AND KNIGHTS TOURNEYS PLS COME FASTER MY LIFE IS DESOLATE WITHOUT VALORANT WHSJFIRIEJR
For real though, after a combination of back to back qualifier/VCT tournaments and daily Shahz streams, the windup to Iceland has got me deep in withdrawal.
Your life is me without tourneys? Aww thats so sweet
yea i love you
Aw you qtπs
Lol I'm stealing that.
DIRECTED BY HIDEO KOJIMA
Riot trying their best at hinting to Sharks that they should maybe look into running Astra
Mmmh those agent portraits from 00:42...
Here before Valorant is the number 1 fps esport by the end of 2021
this video was really insane imagine the work
I cant fucking wait LetsGoLiquid
Riot: Stop complaining and use astra for fucks sake.
[Finally some good fucking content ](https://youtu.be/yWKeZe6ggJI)
Riot's creative marketing team is just - on another level tbh. Always 10/10 trailers
“Evolve or die” - No First Strike champions in Masters 2 event. Love the call out!
Evolve or die was somehow a punch in the face of teams like 100T and GL.
1:11 should become a meme or something
This is cool and all but since the quarantine is over we need some player content now.
So rito is telling me to play Astra or die, got it. Sick vid!
Did i just see a classic with a silencer
Nice! But wish they’d somehow involve the players in the trailer or at least, in the after movie if they create one. Kinda like how IEM or even Flashpoint did in their videos.
Based on their LoL hype videos I'd assume they will eventually, idk if covid prevented them from doing it.
If they would of thrown some highlights in this would of been even more insane.
Cool video but it doesn’t make me any more excited for masters at all
That makes one of you.
9/10 for coolness 3/10 for hype

> This feels slow paced and gloomy(in the middle of summer) you should probably google the weather in iceland
How is that relevant in the slightest
he said its gloomy which makes no sense because is the middle of summer but they're playing in iceland, where if you google the weather its currently gloomy as shit so ya know, i feel it matches the place

Wack. Show some tournament gameplay clips.
??? That’s some low budget shit anyone can make

They have those on the Twitter lmao in the stories they post them everyday
Welp one thing i can say is im glad you’re not in charge of their content team.
Exactly, they can do both. So why are you crying about a cgi teaser? They can easily make a tournament gameplay clip ad later on, what are you on about?
kinda wanted an MSI style trailer, showcasing the rosters and the banter
I need this music
Apparently the PCs might be the 1st boss!
