However, the tournament was plagued by technical issues, such as internet outages, cheating allegations, and delays. As a result, the viewers had to endure long breaks between the matches, during which the song Silver Scrapes was played repeatedly. The song became a meme among the community, as it symbolized the frustration and anticipation of the fans who wanted to watch the games.
Since then, Riot Games has adopted Silver Scrapes as a tradition for their esports events. Whenever a best-of-five series reaches the fifth and final game, Silver Scrapes is played during the break before the game, to hype up the audience and celebrate the competitiveness of the teams. The song has also been remixed and covered by various artists, such as ProtoShredanoid, Chronic Crew, and USC Trojan Marching Band .
Silver Scrapes is considered by many fans as an anthem for League of Legends esports, as it represents the passion and excitement of the game. The song has also been used in other contexts, such as in memes, videos, and podcasts related to League of Legends or other topics.
