A New Kind of Worlds Spectacle

Riot Games has announced that Anyma, the visionary electronic artist and solo project of Matteo Milleri, will take the stage as both Co-Creative Director and performer for the League of Legends Worlds 2025 Opening Ceremony. The highly anticipated show will stream live on Sunday, November 9, right before the Grand Finals kick off in Chengdu, China.

Fans can tune in to the official LoL Esports channels on YouTube and Twitch to catch the full performance, which promises to blend futuristic visuals, immersive art, and live music in a way only Riot’s creative team can pull off.

Techno Meets Esports

Anyma is no stranger to pushing artistic boundaries. Known for fusing high-energy techno music with digital art and surreal live visuals, the artist has built a reputation for creating performances that blur the line between reality and the virtual world. This makes him a natural fit for League of Legends, a game that thrives on spectacle, story, and atmosphere.

Joining Anyma on stage is acclaimed Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M., who will perform “Sacrifice” — the official anthem for Worlds 2025. The song marks a major milestone for Riot Games, celebrating the 15th anniversary of League of Legends esports.

Carrying On a Legendary Tradition

Each year, the Worlds Opening Ceremony raises the bar for live production in gaming. From Imagine Dragons’ “Warriors” (2014) to Rise (2018) and Lil Nas X’s “Star Walkin’” (2022), these anthems have become cultural moments that unite fans across the globe.

With Anyma’s innovative visuals and G.E.M.’s soaring vocals, this year’s performance is expected to deliver a futuristic blend of sound and storytelling, one that reflects both the evolution of League of Legends and its global community.

Worlds 2025: The Road to the Grand Finals

The League of Legends World Championship 2025, or simply Worlds 2025, is the crown jewel of the competitive LoL season. Seventeen of the best teams from around the world have been battling since mid-October for a share of the $1 million prize pool.

Now, only a handful remain in contention. Gen.G Esports and KT Rolster are set to face off for a spot in the Grand Finals, while Anyone’s Legend will clash with defending champions T1 for a chance to meet Top Esports in the semi-finals.

With the stakes higher than ever, the November 9 Opening Ceremony will serve as both a celebration and a prelude to the ultimate showdown.
