Worlds 2019 theme song finally released ahead of Group Stage

This year's Worlds song has been released, with Cailin Russo and Chrissy Costanza providing the vocals for Phoenix, giving League of Legends fans a very different vibe from Worlds 2018's hit Rise. 

The video dropped last night following the conclusion of the 2019 World Championship Play-In which saw Clutch Gaming, DAMWON Gaming, Hong Kong Attitude and Splyce qualify for the stacked Group Stage.

Opening with Song "Rookie" Eui-jin stood in an empty subway train looking at his phone while strange glowing 'glitches' shoot out and grow around him, a strange figure made out of the glitch material stares through the door at him before transforming into the Champion Lissandra, causing Rookie to do the same and be transported to an unfamiliar dueling ground in Ionia.

We hear the first lyics 'What are you willing to lose? ' as we see G2 Esports bot laner Rasmus "Caps" Borregaard and his own glitch clone walking towards two PCs in the middle of a warehouse filled with glowing eyes glancing around the room, with them both turning into Irelia and preparing to face off against each other.

A press conference featuring Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok sees the legendary mid laner's hand get slowly consumed by the 'glitch' as cameras flashing and eager interviewers are then replaced by the stage on which Faker's Karma launches an attack on the clone version of the Champ.

Each pair of Champions then duke it out as the song asks 'are you gonna die today or make it out alive?' and states 'you gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly Fly, Phoenix, fly'.

With the alternate versions of themselves gaining the upper hand, representing crucial losses each of the players experienced as these Champions in the past, we see them take on more of the unexplained energy around them, 'conquering the monster in their heads'.

As the tide turns in their favour and Caps' clone splits in half down the middle in a haze of scrawled messages saying 'EZ', 'Give up' and 'Free'.

As they defeat their opponents, we then cut to people walking in the streets as Caps, Faker and Rookie are reborn into a bright glowing bodies after firing beams of light into the sky in Champion form.

We see the Worlds trophy and a blast of light above the arena as everyone makes their way towards it as the closing shot of the music video.

The full music video is available on the official League of Legends channel and is linked below alongside the official lyrics.

What are you willing to lose?

You cover your wounds, but underneath them

A million voices in your head that whisper, "Stop, now"

Another twist of the knife, turn of the screws

It's all in your mind and it's fighting you

Arm yourself, a storm is coming

Well, kid ... What you gonna do now?

It's your reflection looking back to pull you down

So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?

You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly

Fly, Phoenix, fly

It's time for a new empire

Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling

Phoenix, fly

And now you're playing with matches, come out of the ashes

Underneath you, a million voices in the crowd they're screaming, "Stop, now"

Well let 'em swallow their pride, you're turning the tide to true believers

Got them in the palm of your hand, you're playing God now

What you gonna do now?

It's your reflection looking back to pull you down

So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?

You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly

Fly, Phoenix, fly

It's time for a new empire

Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling

Phoenix, fly
