On Thursday, October 8, Riot Games unveiled &#8220;Know My Name,&#8221; the high-energy anthem set to define this year\u2019s tournament. This release marks a significant milestone in the history of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strafe.com\/event\/worlds-2026-cf4892\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2026 League of Legends World Championship<\/a>, as it is the first time an established virtual music group has been tapped to create the official tournament track.<\/p>\n<p>The track features a powerhouse collaboration, bringing together the talents of SOYEON from (G)I-DLE, Coco Jones, Vic Mensa, and Sof\u00eda Reyes under the True Damage banner. This comeback is particularly notable, as it represents the group&#8217;s first fresh material in seven years, following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strafe.com\/news\/read\/true-damage-returns-for-the-lol-worlds-2026-anthem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riot\u2019s late September announcement<\/a> confirming their return to the spotlight.<\/p>\n<h3>Celebrating a Dynasty: The Legacy of Faker and T1<\/h3>\n<p>Beyond the music, the accompanying visual experience serves as a cinematic tribute to the greatest player in the history of the esport. The &#8220;Know My Name&#8221; music video is a deep dive into the legendary career of Lee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strafe.com\/player\/faker-lol-95b7f3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Faker&#8221;<\/a> Sang-hyeok. It meticulously chronicles his journey alongside T1, highlighting their unprecedented dominance on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative arc of the video centers on T1\u2019s historic three-peat, capturing their consecutive World Championship victories from 2023 through 2025. By focusing on this era of unparalleled success, the video mirrors the &#8220;dynasty&#8221; concept often seen in traditional sports-much like the Chicago Bulls\u2019 1990s dominance or the New England Patriots\u2019 sustained excellence-solidifying Faker\u2019s status as the undisputed face of League of Legends.<\/p>\n<h3>Setting a New Standard for Worlds<\/h3>\n<p>As the 13th official anthem in the history of the tournament, &#8220;Know My Name&#8221; shifts the tradition of Worlds music. While previous years have featured solo artists or one-off collaborations, utilizing a virtual group like True Damage allows Riot to lean into the lore and aesthetic of the game itself. With the 2026 tournament already seeing record-breaking viewership projections, this anthem serves as the perfect catalyst to build hype for the final stages of the competition.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.strafe.com\/news\/read\/true-damage-releases-know-my-name-worlds-2026-anthem-honoring-faker\/\" target=\"_blank\"> \u00bb More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, October 8, Riot Games dropped &#8220;Know My Name,&#8221; the electrifying official anthem for the 2026 League of Legends World Championship.
