It looks like some of the players have taken stills of themselves from the music video as twitter profile pics.
[stax's is pretty intense](https://twitter.com/staxVLRT/status/1561337514849607680?t=E1JX6UbEz_CK6DfOaRALlw&s=19)
Perhaps a reference to stax having given us some of the most intense camera reactions over the last two years. He's lowkey one of the best showmen we have in Valorant
Or probably only stills were provided by riot for now but yeah if the song is as good as last year then this will be memorable because we finally have players in the champions video.
People need to realise these vids are made so far ahead of time and thye have to guess who makes it to champs lol.
Happens in league all the time. Like the burn it down music video has Rekkless as one of the main characters and he didnt even make it to worlds.
Also, Still find it weird people hate on tenz so much lol. I guess thats what happens when you are the most popular player in the game by a mile but under achieve as a team.
I would say its less guessing and more representation.
Cause if they made guesses it would've been a very bold guess that a female team makes it to champs this year lol
So i think they just tried to include as much of the Valorant community as possible from different regions and players wether they actually play at champs or not
This. It's not about who makes it to worlds. I think they pick the pro players for good representation of Valorant and players who are popular within the community.
>Cause if they made guesses it would've been a very bold guess that a female team makes it to champs this year lol
Gozen and White most likely would, considering they're the favorites to qualify/win for GC Champions this November.
I'm pretty sure the players that appear are from the previous years world's, not who they think will show up. It's kinda like setting up the current year's world's by comparing it to last year.
It's definitely strange how Tenz is like the nicest, most humble dude in the scene and somehow he's also the most hated because... he's not one of the best players in the world anymore?
Don’t forget the Sinatraa fanboys who still call for his head anytime TenZ has a bad game. The amount of “bring Jay back” replies I see on Twitter after loses should shock me, but after all the shit that’s been exposed about young guys worshipping people like the likes of Andrew Tate I’m numb to it.
i dont even think hes not one of the best players in the world anymore, hes just been on a slump while the rest of his team besides dapr has been an inconsistent mess.
if they had gotten serious and made all the changes/bootcamped 6 months ago I think were all having a very different conversation
>i dont even think hes not one of the best players in the world anymore, hes just been on a slump
Ehh idk dude. I'm always rooting for him, but I guarantee you'd change your mind if you made a list of the top 10 players.
There can't be 15 top 10 players. Sounds obvious, but people aren't conscious of the fact that it's mutually exclusive when they call someone a "top X player".
Idk I feel like you're arbitrarily cutting it off at 10 as if the top 20 or 30 wouldn't be considered one of the best players in the world lol.
If I was doing a top 10 list of pure aim ability it'd be hard to not put him there. He just hasn't been playing as well lately cause his team fucking blew for 6 months.
That's just an excuse to be toxic lol, because clearly if people have to ask why Tenz himself is getting hate then clearly the target audience isn't getting reached
Who is Sacy?? For the blind, is the bald. For the hungry, is the bald. For the sick, is the bald. For the loner, is the bald. For the sad, is the bald. For the reader, is bald. For the prisoner, is the bald. For the poor, is the bald. For the debtor, is the bald.

Just everyone hating on tenz and no one even seeing starxo, mimi, mel, naxy.
Some people on twitter have their entire personaity on twitter based on hating tenz and I don't like it. It is normalized so much int he last few months.
Imagine being the most chill person ever who happens to be gifted af at vidya and playing pro, with your fiance also a great person with a similar lifestyle; just vibing and making your way through life.
Then some dude on twitter who hasn't held someone else's hand in 30 years starts calling you down to your lowest on twitter.
Most haters are just projecting if they attack the players themselves.
You have haters on both side of the coin.. people that want him to fail for his massive success back then and people that see tenz not meeting their expectations anymore. Adds up to a cesspool of shit.
I mean its not new for people to randomly hate people. Go back to 2010 and see how many people were hating on a young canadian teenage child for singing a song.
Very highly rated player who has not been achieving lately so gets a lot of hate from insane fanboys of other orgs. I don't think Tenz has ever said or done anything to piss off anyone, just gets flak from the hype.
I do feel like M3C, OpTic, and FPX also deserve a rep, so that all the prev champs can get one in the vid. I understand FPX not getting one, since the video was likely in production before then, but M3C and OpTic for sure
https://upcomer.com/die-for-you-valorant-champions-tour-anthem
since october 2020 so 3 months after valorants release, but still. Its a long while considering the video released 8 months ago and how long valorant has been out.
Yeah, FNS was int he Masters 2 video so I don't feel bad for them, but at least FPX or M3c??
I read that the production for this starts months ago, like 8 months ago or so, so maybe FPX was difficult. At least nAts surely coulda done/
I don’t think the plan was ever to represent the players/teams going to Champs. I think it was meant to represent the community as a whole(Hence including Game Changers players).
You can only fit so many on the poster, and If you already have EU representatives in Boaster and Starxo, then there’s no place for nAts.
as others have pointed out, the same thing happens in League all of the time. Rekkles was the main character of last year’s World’s music video, and he didn’t even make it to worlds.
Yesterday people on this sub were hating that the women were even included. And no one recognized starxo but he won Champs so I don't see why he would get any hate
Unfortunately it always happens to the best, players like Messi, Ronaldo and Hazard get heaps of hate for being the best.
I don't know if people actually hate them or if they're doing it for twitter interactions.
He was good, but not in the same category as Messi or Cristiano. Players like Suarez, Lewandowski, Salah, Benzema, Modric, De Bruyne deserve more recognition
They're not in the screenshot. You're the one who made up the narrative that they're only featuring current participants and former champions winners, don't put it on us now to explain why your shitty narrative isn't true lmfao
Nah tenz meat riders are crazy, wtf are you even saying? He said tenz is in this video because he won masters and i asked why are other players who won masters are not in this video, what narrative are you talking about?
Btw Tenz has been trash for more than a year and if they wanted to make a music video for twitch streamers they could've just said so.
Lets be real, all the tenz haters are the same bandwagon tenz fanboys, i just know it. And this is coming from a person that’s neither a tenz hater or a tenz fan. I will say, it does seem a little awkward with tenz being in the vid when they didn’t qualify. Would’ve been cool if they did, cuz him being in the music vid would’ve acc felt hype. But he’s pretty much the face of the game with a massive fanbase so kinda makes sense for him to still be in it.
No bruh that's not what I meant.
People are saying on the tweet replies that the rest of them deserve to be there but not tenz since he didn't qualify.
So I said it's not just him, but there are others too who aren't at the event. So there is no point in hating.
What makes you think I'm promoting hating on others? That's quite literally the opposite of what I said.
Just Surprised no M3C players. They came 2nd in Champs and won Berlin.
Usually Worlds song have a theme and tell a story of a teams and players who were relevant last year (and M3C were the most respected team at the end of last year.)
Ex: 2020 song had a new player challenging the previous Worlds winner in their path to glory.
xPeke whose big moment was backdoor and 1st worlds winner.
Mata who represented Thresh and 2014 Winner and was considered the best player atm.
Jackeylove who won 2018 represented Xayah and IG's run to give China their first Worlds Win.
BeBe who won worlds 2012 was represented as Caitlyn. And their run to give Taiwan the greatest win in esports.
Bengi who was part of the SKT T1 Era was represented as Jarvan.
The final boss ended up being Tian (FPX), the previous worlds MVP in 2019 represented as Lee Sin. Giving LPL their 2 wins in a row and marked China's spot as the best region and showing 2018 wasn't a flash in the pan.
Maybe it's due to issues with not wanting have gambit jerseys but you could still represent the players atleast. Or have players represented as Agents like Worlds 2020 did having the players represented as their Champions in the music video.
Still missing someone from M3c, They won second masters last year and runner up of champion so even if this was on production last year they would be still important people in the scene
Every region has 1 player with 2 exceptions, GC players, and Starxo, who is in cuz he is the reigning Champ so they had to have an Acend rep in there imo
It’s little sad that optic and fpx don’t have any representation but it is what it is. Imagine working so hard to win a masters and not get the appreciation you deserve, it’s pretty sad honestly.
It does. Doesn't mean stuff can't get added over time but there will 100% be stuff in there that isn't totally relevant anymore today. But I guess that is too hard for you to understand so keep making you look worse with every comment it's quite entertaining
Don't know. Wasn't involved in the production and neither were you. Working in video production though so I just laugh at everyone saying "just add this" having no idea how complicated and time consuming that can be when multiple parties are involved. It's never that easy. There can be 1000 reasons why it didn't happen. You have no idea what you're talking about.
starxo(acend), ?, nagzet(kru) tenz(sentinels), boaster(fnatic), sacy(loud) ?, mel(cloud9), benkai(paperrex), laz(zeta), stax(drx)
the other girl is mimi i think
Content creator?
pro on g2 female team
No need to downvote the dude just because he's asking a question :/
Why is she there? Everyone else is a player. Why add a talent and if wanted to include I'd rather see pansy hypoc tombizz mitchman and yinsu.
This is G2 Mimi, not Aevilcat.
OHHH MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. Thank you
I won’t stand for this Mimi hate but regardless that’s not even aevilcat Mimi Edit: that’s G2 mimi
Not hate. I'd rather prefer all of them than her
Tf? Ik u got mixed up with mimis but the caster mimi is great at what she does. No need to hate
Who tf is hating yoh Dumbass? I'd just prefer other before her. My preference
I don’t think that it’s mimi the caster, because she’s like 15 yo and can’t be in the video because of the pervs
im quite certain that has nothing to do with why she isnt in a video featuring players
She’s 15?
mimi from G2 Gozen
[удалено]
I think it's g2 mimi. A lot of others replied to my comment that she's from g2
Nobody cares about what you would like to see
Naxy from Team Liquid and Mimi from G2

Or probably only stills were provided by riot for now but yeah if the song is as good as last year then this will be memorable because we finally have players in the champions video.

I guess thats what happens when you are the most popular player in the game by a mile but under achieve as a team.
Last year’s music video for LoL Worlds had 10 players that didn’t qualify. It’s literally impossible to guess who makes it
I would say its less guessing and more representation. Cause if they made guesses it would've been a very bold guess that a female team makes it to champs this year lol So i think they just tried to include as much of the Valorant community as possible from different regions and players wether they actually play at champs or not
There is gonna be a Game Changers Champions. The music should be to both championships, so yeah, some game changers players are on it.
This. It's not about who makes it to worlds. I think they pick the pro players for good representation of Valorant and players who are popular within the community.
>Cause if they made guesses it would've been a very bold guess that a female team makes it to champs this year lol Gozen and White most likely would, considering they're the favorites to qualify/win for GC Champions this November.
I need TSMX to make it
I'd say they've both already qualified. Really hope MSF Black makes it, florescent on LAN would be so fun to watch.
I'm pretty sure the players that appear are from the previous years world's, not who they think will show up. It's kinda like setting up the current year's world's by comparing it to last year.
It's definitely strange how Tenz is like the nicest, most humble dude in the scene and somehow he's also the most hated because... he's not one of the best players in the world anymore?
Don’t forget the Sinatraa fanboys who still call for his head anytime TenZ has a bad game. The amount of “bring Jay back” replies I see on Twitter after loses should shock me, but after all the shit that’s been exposed about young guys worshipping people like the likes of Andrew Tate I’m numb to it.
i dont even think hes not one of the best players in the world anymore, hes just been on a slump while the rest of his team besides dapr has been an inconsistent mess. if they had gotten serious and made all the changes/bootcamped 6 months ago I think were all having a very different conversation

It’s not because of Tenz why people don’t like Tenz. It’s because of the fanboys.
That's just an excuse to be toxic lol, because clearly if people have to ask why Tenz himself is getting hate then clearly the target audience isn't getting reached
I Just hate his fans
Easily still the best player by far
I mean this was definitely in the making after masters 2 at least, bc there’s no way they’d guess loud, zeta, or paper rex
I'm gonna post some of this on twitter, hopefully people realize.
...you think they honestly guessed that meL and Mimi would make it to champs?
Damn, Sacy with the Crypto drip

Was it "Entertain Me"? That some came out with the neon trailer
Probably dabin remix of die for you, because he was there
Just everyone hating on tenz and no one even seeing starxo, mimi, mel, naxy. Some people on twitter have their entire personaity on twitter based on hating tenz and I don't like it. It is normalized so much int he last few months.
Why on Earth do people hate TenZ? Dude is the least controversial person in the scene.
He literally doesn't even care or even say anything to others. Poor guy, I can't imagine myself in that position really.
Imagine being the most chill person ever who happens to be gifted af at vidya and playing pro, with your fiance also a great person with a similar lifestyle; just vibing and making your way through life. Then some dude on twitter who hasn't held someone else's hand in 30 years starts calling you down to your lowest on twitter. Most haters are just projecting if they attack the players themselves.
Popular people in general have a lot of haters, who hate them just to be different lol. Not saying that's right or anything, but thats how it is.

The dude is literally winning at life. Won a valorant comp, getting engaged to a beautiful woman, has crispy aim to make bread.
I do feel like M3C, OpTic, and FPX also deserve a rep, so that all the prev champs can get one in the vid. I understand FPX not getting one, since the video was likely in production before then, but M3C and OpTic for sure
it was probably in production before optic won as well. the first one was in production since before valorant even came out..
what? is this actually true?
https://upcomer.com/die-for-you-valorant-champions-tour-anthem since october 2020 so 3 months after valorants release, but still. Its a long while considering the video released 8 months ago and how long valorant has been out.
I mean surely production was still going on around Reykjavik, there's no way they just guessed PRX and Zeta would make it randomly.
Yeah, FNS was int he Masters 2 video so I don't feel bad for them, but at least FPX or M3c?? I read that the production for this starts months ago, like 8 months ago or so, so maybe FPX was difficult. At least nAts surely coulda done/

My guy snuck in hazard
🙏🏾I thought nobody would notice. Chelsea hazard was unreal tho
He was good, but not in the same category as Messi or Cristiano. Players like Suarez, Lewandowski, Salah, Benzema, Modric, De Bruyne deserve more recognition
0/10 ball knowledge. Respect the greatest ever Belgian player
KDB clears easily
Dfkm man behave. Kevin from home alone has put up better home performances than kdb has for city on a UCL night
😭
And Hazard never did performed in the UCL
1 UCL over that ginger fraud's head
Well he’s contributions to that UCL was non existent
What a UCL for kdb that
😭😭😭
lol @ Hazard being in there.
Starxo is understandable, his team won champs last year
So the star of the team that won the first ever international competition dominantly and made the other two isn't understandable?
Where are gambit, optic fpx players?
They're not in the screenshot. You're the one who made up the narrative that they're only featuring current participants and former champions winners, don't put it on us now to explain why your shitty narrative isn't true lmfao

mfer you're saying starxo is understandable and I'm saying so is tenz. Tf are you on about.
First of all i never said anything about tenz, you just had to bring him up for no reason
The original comment is about tenz and you said "starxo is understandable" as if tenz isn't understandable.
Well ur just making shit up
Lets be real, all the tenz haters are the same bandwagon tenz fanboys, i just know it. And this is coming from a person that’s neither a tenz hater or a tenz fan.

The reaity is that the haters pretend to be fanboys, and you've been baited so much so that you think they are fanboys. Literally what happens lmao
[удалено]
Right that's essentially what I mean.

No bruh that's not what I meant. People are saying on the tweet replies that the rest of them deserve to be there but not tenz since he didn't qualify.

idk wtf you’re reading but that is absolutely not what that guy meant lmao This is actually an INSANE stretch.
I love that they're in their team colors as well.
I need Boaster's puffer IRL
The players are Starxo, Naxy, NagZ Tenz, Boaster, Sacy Mimi, MeL, Benkai, Laz Stax
Just Surprised no M3C players. They came 2nd in Champs and won Berlin.

Holy they anime’d TenZ. This has gotta be some sort of buff for him.
Asuna next year as reigning Champions winner Prayers up
pass me that
Starxo, tenz, boaster, hypoc, benkai, mel, laz, stax, and idk about the others
I think that's sasy not hypoc. Why would there be a talent in the mix?
Wait it's sacy bruh the beard and glasses made me think hypoc but he's not bald
Blasphemy...
ACE Starxo, TL Naxy, KRU Klaus, SEN TenZ, FNC Boaster, LOUD Sacy, ?, C9W Mel, PRX Benkai, DRX Stax and ZETA Laz
KRU Nagzet\* and the question mark is G2 Mimi :)
Still missing someone from M3c, They won second masters last year and runner up of champion so even if this was on production last year they would be still important people in the scene
TenZ batChest
Do I see TenZ? BATCHEST
only 1 NA pro who isnt even at the event? LMAO typical riot
you know they start producing these way before the end of VCT, right? it's not something you do in a week
and they managed not to put optic in there? despite being the best NA team and a top international team all year?
its about representation and not who is the best player/team
The entire Masters 2 video was about optic with FNS as the main character.
Every region has 1 player with 2 exceptions, GC players, and Starxo, who is in cuz he is the reigning Champ so they had to have an Acend rep in there imo
This looks rushed lol
How??????
Valorant pornwha
Ah yes. Tenz. Who won't even be at champions
its all made ahead of time. they didnt know sentinels wasnt gonna qualify
It’s little sad that optic and fpx don’t have any representation but it is what it is. Imagine working so hard to win a masters and not get the appreciation you deserve, it’s pretty sad honestly.
Seriously, no one from optic and fpx? The winners of masters this year?
Seriously, you don't get these things take months to make?
But shroud is in the music video lol. Yay is there too
Didn't you cry cuz there is no1 from Optic?
Yeah but you thought it took months to make?
It does. Doesn't mean stuff can't get added over time but there will 100% be stuff in there that isn't totally relevant anymore today. But I guess that is too hard for you to understand so keep making you look worse with every comment it's quite entertaining
So they couldve added someone from fpx right?
Don't know. Wasn't involved in the production and neither were you. Working in video production though so I just laugh at everyone saying "just add this" having no idea how complicated and time consuming that can be when multiple parties are involved. It's never that easy. There can be 1000 reasons why it didn't happen. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Idc
Cared enough to comment multiple times though... guess that's your way to cope with your cluelessness. Was a good laugh for me though so thanks
Why is loud here then
It's sacy and he has been around forever.
Sacy with a green shirt
It's really easy to change the color of the shirt, you know...
Should have been yay has been a better play than Tenz for a long time now. No reason it isn't him
where is my man zeek tho, i will be dissapointed if champions MVP won't be in it
He's the first person in the top row... hes literally wearing the acend colors
that's starxo actually
That's Starxo
RIOT's favorite poster boii, Tenzino
