The competitive stage of League of Legends is once again draped in musical glory, but this time with a massive wave of nostalgia and historical weight. Seven years after taking the world by storm with their hit GIANTS in 2019, the virtual hip-hop group True Damage has returned. Their latest track, titled Know My Name, was released as the official anthem for Worlds 2026, marking the very first time one of Riot Games' own virtual acts takes the helm of the World Championship main song.
The song's launch across streaming platforms and the official YouTube channel carries an audiovisual piece designed as a direct tribute to the most decorated icon in the history of the game: Lee Sang-hyeok, globally revered as Faker. Throughout the video, the animation chronologically celebrates his historic three-peat alongside the T1 squad, commemorating all six world titles earned across 2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The animated video goes far beyond basic highlights, reconstructing legendary competitive plays and difficult droughts throughout the mid laner's career. The narrative begins by showcasing his first three trophies through signature picks like Ahri, Ryze, and Orianna, moving toward the extended title drought where he watched rival teams claim the Summoner's Cup. The emotional arc shifts when he enters an elevator and is progressively joined by Gumayusi, Keria, Oner, and Zeus, the roster that achieved back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024. These sequences spotlight pivotal moments, from his mastery on Akali to a heroic Galio entrance turning the tide of battle.
The visual tribute also documents the 2025 triumph, illustrating the departure of Zeus and the arrival of Doran. That clash against KT Rolster is immortalized through explosive teamfights featuring Gragas and Faker's decisive Anivia, sealing an inspiring journey of resilience and mastery at the highest competitive level.
Musically, the virtual lineup preserves its roster of five champions: Akali, Ekko, Senna, Qiyana, and Yasuo. For this grand comeback, SOYEON from K-pop group i-dle returns to voice Akali. Blending distinct global urban styles, the production matches the vibrant identity of the host city, following up on the massive footprint left by their 2019 debut, which has surpassed two hundred and thirty million streams.
The spectacle of Worlds 2026 will not be confined to digital screens. Fans will witness the anthem performed live during the opening ceremony at the Barclays Center in New York on November 14. Alongside community remix initiatives on audio platforms, Riot Games marks a monumental year celebrating the player who redefined an entire esport for over a decade.
