What makes a VALORANT tournament feel complete? The perfect song to match those heart-pounding clutch moments. Riot Games just revealed “Last Shot,” the official anthem for VALORANT Champions 2025 Paris Finals.
The Music Behind the Magic
Two rising stars are bringing the heat to Paris. The duo templuv teamed up with Canadian artist 347aidan to create “Last Shot.” But this isn’t just any collaboration – these artists actually play VALORANT themselves.
templuv is made up of Julian Conner and Brodin Plett. Here’s the cool part: Plett is part of OfflineTV, a famous content creator group. He’s been playing VALORANT since the beta version came out. That means he knows exactly what those clutch moments feel like.
“We’ve been playing VALORANT since beta, so getting a chance to contribute to this universe was a full-circle moment,” templuv explained. “We’ve lived those clutch moments ourselves.”
Live Performance at Finals
The song gets its big debut on October 5 at the Accor Arena in Paris. templuv and 347aidan will perform “Last Shot” live during the Opening Ceremony of the Champions Finals. This marks the first time anyone will hear the complete track.
The anthem comes with a cinematic music video that captures those split-second decisions that win or lose games. Riot Games says the lyrics reflect the never-give-up attitude of professional VALORANT players.
Following VALORANT’s Music Tradition
“Last Shot” continues a awesome tradition for VALORANT Champions. Every year, Riot Games creates a special anthem for their biggest tournament. Past hits include:
- “SUPERPOWER” by Julie & Natty of Kiss of Life and Mark Tuan
- “Ticking Away” by Grabbitz & bbno$
- “Fire Again” by Ashnikko
- “Die For You” by Grabbitz
Each song captures the energy and excitement of competitive VALORANT. “Last Shot” aims to do the same for the Paris Finals.
What Riot Games Says
Jonny Altepeter leads music at Riot Games. He’s excited about this year’s anthem. “templuv and 347aidan have created something truly special with ‘Last Shot’,” he said. “Their sound feels deeply rooted in the spirit of VALORANT.”
The song blends intensity with heart. That combination matches what VALORANT Champions represents – serious competition mixed with pure passion for the game.
Champions 2025 Gets Bigger
The Paris Finals run from October 3-5 at the Accor Arena. Sixteen of the world’s best teams will compete for the championship. This marks the fifth VALORANT Champions tournament since the game’s esports scene began in 2021.
Each year, Champions gets more popular. Last year’s tournament broke records with over nine million people watching at the same time. That’s nearly ten times more viewers than the first Champions in 2021.
Champions has traveled around the world. Berlin, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Seoul have all hosted the tournament before. Now Paris gets its turn to crown a VALORANT world champion.
Music Meets Esports
“Last Shot” shows how music and esports work perfectly together. The song doesn’t just play in the background – it becomes part of the experience. When fans hear it, they’ll remember those amazing Paris Finals moments.
Having players-turned-musicians create the anthem makes it even more special. templuv understands what it feels like to clutch a 1v4 situation or lose a round by one bullet. That real experience flows into their music.
