ATEEZ Sparks Speculation for Possible Collaboration with Riot Games for League of Legends World Championship Anthem
The 2023 League of Legends World Championship is just a few months away, and fans are already speculating about who could be the artist for the tournament’s highly-anticipated anthem. One popular K-pop group, ATEEZ, has recently fueled rumors after their visit to the Riot Games headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
ATEEZ, a well-known South Korean boy group, posted on social media about their visit to the Riot Games offices. Although the purpose of their visit was not revealed, fans are speculating that it could be a hint towards a possible collaboration between ATEEZ and Riot Games for the World Championship anthem.
Possible Return of K-pop Group to Worlds
The Worlds tournament is set to be held in South Korea for the first time since 2018. Many LoL Esports fans remember the debut of Riot’s virtual K-pop girl group, K/DA, during that event. Since then, K/DA has gained global popularity and millions of streams, making them a massive success for Riot Games.
Given the success of K/DA, it would make sense for Riot to introduce another K-pop group for the World Championship in South Korea. ATEEZ, with their prominence in the music industry and large fanbase, could be the perfect choice for Riot’s music department. With eight members in the group, each representing a different champion on the Summoner’s Rift, ATEEZ could bring a unique dynamic to the opening ceremony of the tournament.
ATEEZ Members as League of Legends Players
Adding to the speculation is the fact that multiple ATEEZ members have confirmed their interest in playing League of Legends. This further suggests that they would be open to collaborating with Riot on a musical piece and potential performance during the World Championship’s opening ceremony.
As the countdown to the 2023 League of Legends World Championship continues, fans eagerly await the announcement of the artist behind the tournament’s anthem. If the rumors of a collaboration between ATEEZ and Riot Games turn out to be true, it could be one of the biggest releases of the year for the company.
