You may have heard popular songs like “Mortal Reminder” by Pentakill, “Silver Scrapes,” and “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons in the world of esports. But have you heard a beautiful rendition of “Africa” by Toto, sung by League of Legends champions?
If not, you’re in for a treat. This may be the best thing you’ll hear all day, all week, and maybe even in your entire life. Alistar, take it away on the cowbell.
Okay, technically the lyrics sing about the rains in Zaun instead of Africa. But you have to admit, it’s still the best thing you’ve heard today.
The YouTube channel that created this masterpiece has previously delighted the League community with their creations. Last year, they released an equally meme-worthy version of Smash Mouth’s “All Star,” also sung by League champions. They know not to fix what isn’t broken, right?
To add to the humor, we like to imagine all 141 League champions lined up like a choir, taking turns singing the song one word at a time. Not only is this concept funny, but imagining fearsome champions like Nocturne, Rek’Sai, or Rengar huddled together to sing a rehearsed song makes it even better.
Although Riot Games hasn’t officially created something as glorious as this, there’s still hope. Who knows, maybe a champion cover of “Take On Me” by a-ha would attract new players to the game.
Remember to check out the video to fully enjoy this amazing rendition of “Africa” by Toto, sung by League of Legends champions.
