Welcome to Summoner's Rift is the match-opening line from League of Legends, the free-to-play MOBA released by Riot Games in 2009. The announcer's voice plays at the start of every game on the Summoner's Rift map, the game's flagship five-versus-five battleground. The line became embedded in gaming culture through years of match recordings, esports broadcasts and YouTube montages, where creators reuse it to frame LoL content or parody the solemn tone over mundane footage. Similar to the Enemy Spotted ping, it is one of those instantly recognised game voice lines that needs no context for players.
