RISE was released in 2018 as the official anthem for the League of Legends World Championship, performed by The Glitch Mob, Mako and The Word Alive. The song was created for Riot Games' annual esports tournament and accompanied the event's promotional video, which helped it reach players far beyond the competitive scene. Its combination of electronic production and rock vocals made it a favourite for fan edits, montages and stream intros, and it remains a shorthand for high-stakes, championship-level moments in gaming content years later.
