Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The League of Legends S14 season is coming, and last night Riot officially released its new season of CG animation work "Unswerving", which has been praised by summoners for its super high quality and excellent texture.
And in the latest statistics, this CG animation has broken the historical record on the Internet.
The CG animation "Unswerving" broke the historical record
According to foreign media statistics, League of Legends' CG animation "Unswerving" in 2024 broke through 10 million views on the Youtube platform in just 11 hours, and also received more than 600,000 likes, both of which broke the record of LOL-related videos breaking through 10 million plays and 500,000 likes the fastest.
The video that previously held the highest number of views on the first day of League of Legends-related videos was KDA's new single "More" in 2020, and according to the current trend, "Unswerving" is likely to break this record.
All kinds of data show that summoners' evaluation of this CG animation is extremely high, and from the perspective of perception, this animation can indeed represent the highest production level of Riot's official, and is called the first CG in the history of the league by many viewers.
Of course, whether it can be ranked first or not is a matter of opinion among different players, but the consensus that players can basically reach at present is that this CG animation and the 2022 CG animation "CALL" are the two pinnacles of Riot, and the things that the two CG animations want to convey are different, but they can arouse the empathy of players, which is very important.
Animation climax analysis, Ash god-level rescue
If the highest and most impressive scene in the CG animation "CALL" in 2022 is when Pan Sen opens his ultimate move and goes straight to the starry sky and challenges the gods with a mortal body, then the most burning moment in this year's "Unswerving" is the key rescue of the ice shooter Ash.
"Unswerving" focuses on the battle between the barbarian king and Qianjue, in which Qianjue appears as a grim reaper and asks for his life as a barbarian king who is in a dying state.
The barbarian king was at the end of his rope at the beginning of the stage, after being surrounded by enemies, Qianjue appeared to fight with the barbarian king, the barbarian king refused to accept the ending of death, in the face of the double blow of the wolf spirit and the sheep spirit, he chose to open the ultimate move to fight, Qianjue showed a strong sense of oppression, as we all know, Qianjue has extremely strong strength in the background story, and is called a conceptual god by players.
Therefore, when watching this part of the battle, players know that the Barbarian King can't beat Qianjue anyway, this is a desperate battle, but at the last moment, the arrow shot by Qianjue disappeared, and was replaced by two ice arrows, whistling from both sides of the Barbarian King's head, killing the enemy in reality, and then Ash appeared on the scene, which made countless players teary-eyed.
The anti-climactic setting, the meaning of Yasuo's passage
Ash saves this part of the scene, it can be seen that Ash can't see Qianjue, I personally think that the battle between the barbarian king and Qianjue is hidden, surreal, or spiritual, Qianjue judged the barbarian king to die, tried to take away the barbarian king, the barbarian king's resistance bought time for himself, and then Ash appeared on the stage to relieve the siege for the barbarian king, when someone saves the real barbarian king, Qianjue will disappear.
This passage of the Barbarian King, Qianjue and Ash is obviously more touching to the audience, with high-burning battle scenes, dramatic reversals and key rescues, showing the strong will to survive of a dying person, and the rebirth after facing a desperate situation.
And the other two stories will give people a different feeling, the theme of the Angel Sisters Flower vs. Sword Demon is actually the fight of the gods, the highest level of battle in the three paragraphs, the highest burning passage is the moment when Morgana takes off her helmet and opens the ultimate, Kyle casts a strange gaze, and since then the Angel Sisters have parted ways and embarked on different paths.
Yasuo's paragraph is a partial anti-climactic setting, Yasuo appears in an old posture, and the fighters are all miscellaneous soldiers, there is no particularly high-burning scene, and there is Yasuo as an old man who practices the spirit of his will, although I wander the world, but I have not lost my heart, this paragraph can best reflect the theme of "Unswerving".
In the end, Yasuo calmly closed his eyes, and Qianjue's arrows in the distance galloped in, leaving the audience with a suspense, whether this future is real, whether Yasuo really died like this, I believe that the future fist will also answer this.
