2016 Worlds Animation must've been originally paired with Warriors, and here's why

I was watching the 2016 worlds animation with Warriors in the background, and noticed certain scenes that matched up way too well

  1. Ashe vs Brand (I wasn't playing during season 1, so I'll be referring to players by their team name) At 0:34 the music suddenly becomes much louder, and it was at the same time the aAa ashe is flying away from his computer because of the brand ulti.
  2. Azubu Frost vs SamSung White 0:48 the animation shows SSW facing the colossal ice giants representing Azubu Frost, and the song is at the lyric "Here we are, don't turn away now" symbolizing how despite SSW's disadvantage, they will continue on.
  3. TheOddOne baron steal When the pov was panning around theoddone(1:05), it said "When you'll have to rise Above the best and prove yourself, Your spirit never dies!" theoddone was preparing to do a game changing baron steal. I feel like the mood and facial expression of theoddone matches up way too well. Also, right when theoddone (elise) saluted and fell into baron pit(1:10), the song was at the lyric of "Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above, But don't weep for me 'Cause this will be The labor of my love." theoddone was doing a suicidal attempt of saving the game, and the lyrics talk of sacrificing yourself for an achievement. Also, he saluted right at the lyric of "Farewell."
  4. Faker's introduction The guitar solo ends right as Faker is introduced.(2:12) and is quickly covered with silhouetted hands, representing how many people desire to usurp Faker. At this time, the lyric is "Here we are, don't turn away now." Also, the music ramps up right when the camera zooms out, and shows the sheer quantity of hands reaching for the throne.(2:18)
  5. Kha'Zix Versus Rumble Right as Kha'Zix comes towards the camera and slashes, the drum beat lines up with it exactly.(2:22)
  6. Nexus Explosion Right as the nexus explodes,(2:38) you can hear the beat change.

imo there is absolutely no way this is all by coincidence; maybe they were using the Warriors song again, but changed the song last second. I only covered the obvious points, so please post any ones you found, in the comments ;D

Its actually because song structure fits like this. You could probably take 50% of songs with a 4-4 timing and it would fit. This is what song structure is. This is called cookie cutter.

I was thinking this as well; If you watch that video it's uncanny how well this year's animation fits with Warriors. However, I don't think it was intentional. I'm no music expert but both of the songs have a fairly standard structure as far as I can tell. A video designed for one could end up fitting for another.

I'll give you a few ones, like the Nexus explosion, but honestly the song doesn't match up thematically as it does with Warriors than as it does in Ignite.
