Global superstars LINKIN PARK’s “Heavy Is The Crown,” the 11th Worlds anthem, made League of Legends history as the largest anthem debut to date upon its release on September 24, 2024. It has amassed over 360 million global audio streams and its music video currently has more than 57 million views on YouTube.
“Heavy Is The Crown” tells the story of T1’s historic victory at Worlds 2023 marking their long-awaited triumph since their last win in 2016, with a nod to London’s rich history of kingdoms and empires. Its story follows a newly crowned king and the horde of would-be rulers who arrive on his doorstep.
