Key Events in the GODS Anthem
The opening of the song GODS brings a gentle melody, yet the visual effects leave a remarkably impressive story about the marksman Deft, portraying him from an ordinary gamer boy to:
- 2013: Deft meets Faker and witnesses the legend shine with Zed's play
- 2014: Deft joins Samsung Galaxy Blue and later falls before Pawn (Jayce) from Samsung Galaxy White
- 2015: Deft goes abroad and shines alongside Meiko at Edward Gaming, but then falls before Rekkles' Kennen at Worlds
- 2018: Deft returns to Korea and reappears in KT's colors
- 2020: KT rebrands as DRX, though shining with Senna, it's not enough to overcome the overwhelming force of Damwon with Canyon's Graves and Showmaker's Syndra
- 2022: After being knocked down by Syndra, Deft returns with DRX and this time he and DRX surpass the legends to reach the 2022 Worlds championship
- 2023: Deft once again looks towards the championship cup, but this time there are many other legends aiming towards him
Deft has always followed the legends
Striving to the fullest and always rising from failures is the great message that League of Legends conveys through GODS. However, upon closer inspection, it's not difficult to realize how challenging it has been for Deft to witness his classmate Faker shine, and he has always trailed behind Faker since officially competing professionally.
Deft and Faker attended the same schoolAt the recent Asiad 2022, Faker excellently fulfilled his duty by bringing home the Gold Medal for the South Korean esports delegation. However, with the goal of the world championship cup, these two close friends will surely continue to not disappoint viewers at the 2023 Worlds.
The True Meaning of GODS
GODS are understood as the deities, and this is also Riot Games' way of honoring the legends coming to Worlds 2023. Alongside, GODS can also be seen as the desire to witness shining moments through the skills of stars that viewers have long forgotten.
This is also why among the legends looking towards the championship cup at the end of the GODS MV, we can recognize the representative from Vietnam, Levi. Perhaps through this theme song MV, fans truly want to see the Vietnamese legend showcase talent as he did by elevating GAM from an underestimated unknown team at MSI 2017 to the current powerhouse of the SEA region.
