This year’s League of Legends World Championship anthem is finally out with “Know My Name” by True Damage.
Virtual band True Damage are back with new LoL skins and a brand new lineup of musicians after the group’s 2019 debut song, GIANTS.
Riot opted for one of LoL’s own bands due to the game’s current music-themed season, rather than once again enlisting a mainstream group like Linkin Park or Imagine Dragons.
Now, a new version of True Damage has been unveiled, seeing the departures of Duckwrth and Thutmose, Becky G, and multi-time Emmy Award winner Keke Palmer.
New True Damage Line-Up
Just one member of the original True Damage line-up remains in Soyeon from the K-pop group i-dle.
She voices Akali in both True Damage as well as the soon-returning K/DA with her bandmate Miyeon, who plays Ahri.
Recently, i-dle was ranked No. 1 in the Girl Group category of the TOP K-ARTISTS poll hosted by Tencent Music, Billboard China, and
Billboard Korea.
And while Keke Palmer has exploded in popularity since her stint with True Damage, Riot has found an equally impressive replacement.
