Riot release LoL Worlds 2020 official song “Take Over”

Riot Games has finally released the official theme song for the upcoming 2020 League of Legends World Championship, titled “Take Over.”

Following months of anticipation, the top League of Legends teams from across the world will finally face off against each other in Shanghai for Worlds 2020, which starts on September 25.

To mark the most prestigious event of the year, Riot Games always releases a theme song in celebration, with tracks like “Phoenix,” “Rise,” and “Legends Never Die” making their debut at the World Championship in recent years.

As Riot teased this year’s Worlds song with pro player characters like those who appeared in the “Rise” music video, many fans initially expected a similar track from the League of Legends music team in 2020.
