In recent days, Riot Games has been continuously releasing videos to introduce the Hall of Fame event honoring Faker. With significant investment from Riot, the community can clearly feel that this is a very large event and will take place over a considerable period. Therefore, this promises to be a very special tribute to Faker, a player regarded as one of the greatest and most influential in the League of Legends scene.
Recently, a well-known dataminer – BigBadBear shared some extremely noteworthy information about this Hall of Fame event. Specifically, the event honoring Faker will feature a massive Event Ticket that requires players to grind to level 100 to receive all the rewards. It should be noted that Riot’s event tickets have previously only required players to complete level 50. Therefore, gamers will have to invest a lot of time if they want to collect all the rewards at the upcoming Hall of Fame event.
Furthermore, the various “transformations” of the Ahri skin are likely to be divided into diverse packages or special versions. To own all these “transformations,” players may need to complete the aforementioned Event Ticket with 100 levels. Additionally, according to BigBadBear’s assessment, this method of creating the Event Ticket by Riot is a “learning” move from the game Fortnite.
Besides grinding the Event Ticket to unlock all the color variants of the Ahri skin, players may also receive a LeBlanc skin as an additional reward for completing the 100 levels of the Event Ticket. Of course, this skin will not have as many color variants or “transformations” like the exclusive skin Ahri Eternal Legend. Nevertheless, it is still a very beautiful skin designed by Riot to pay tribute to Faker.
In addition, BigBadBear also revealed that Riot has created a dedicated website for the Hall of Fame event and requires players to log in with their Riot accounts. It is highly likely that players will experience some web events there and receive small rewards such as hero icons or Blue Essence. Although 99% of this information has been leaked, details regarding the price, accompanying missions of the Event Ticket remain tightly kept secret by Riot.
In summary, the Hall of Fame event honoring Faker will be organized by Riot Games very grandly, truly reflecting the tribute to a legend of the game. It should be noted that Riot has faced quite a bit of backlash in recent months for continuously reducing rewards through each Event Ticket. Hopefully, they will not repeat this mistake at the upcoming tribute event for Faker so that the “Demon King” receives a truly meaningful tribute.
