A new upload on League of Legends usually draws around 134,000 views on its first day. The Worlds 2026 anthem passed six million in little more than a day, and its real star is not one of the game's champions.

True Damage, the virtual group made of champions Ekko, Akali, Yasuo, Senna and Qiyana, sings the song. The video, animated with WIZZ and directors CRCR, belongs to Faker. It opens at a press conference at T1 Tower, under banners for the 2013, 2015 and 2016 titles, with an animated Faker weighing old defeats. He rides an elevator up to meet his teammates, fights through a subway station marked "MIND THE GAP", and pulls them back to their feet after a crushing blow, while a screen asks "CAN T1 BREAK THE CURSE?" It ends in a trophy room, with a new cup set beside the old ones.

The comment section reads like a fan wiki. Many viewers joke that Faker now has more lore than several playable characters. Others point to a nod to his famous Galio, and to a teammate breaking down that many link to the end of the 2022 final. SOYEON, back as Akali, gets her own round of attention.

The comeback was set up earlier in the week: a trailer for matching "Know My Name" skins for all five members has passed half a million views. The tournament itself runs from October 15 to November 14.
