As we know, after the Worlds 2023, the most anticipated question among fans was which champions the T1 stars would choose for their Worlds skins. Additionally, the design of the champions must be beautiful and fitting for the reigning Worlds champion team – T1. Unlike many other teams that rose to fame since the 2016 season leading up to 2023, T1 is the most beloved and attention-grabbing League of Legends team. Not to mention, 2023 has truly been a year of ups and downs for this team, and Faker himself had to wait over 7 years to lift the Worlds trophy again.
However, while his teammates, including Faker, have officially finalized their choices after a “change of heart”, Keria has left fans even more puzzled. Specifically, the T1 Support expressed great regret over not being able to choose the champion Lux, as he hadn’t used her throughout the tournament. Therefore, Keria was torn between Renata and Bard. According to information from Riot, Bard ended up being the champion that Keria “voted” for to have the Worlds skin.
But recently, on his streaming channel, Keria revealed more news that left fans stunned. Specifically, he said: “Actually, I want to share this with you. Can I talk about the skin for Renata? Like, now that it’s over, I can mention it, right? At that time, the NewJeans group wore a crown like this, or something similar during their performance at the finals. So I saw that Renata also wore something similar. That’s why I had to be uncertain until the very last day.”
Keria’s revelation surprised many because while Riot disclosed that he chose Bard, no one knows if Keria had a “change of heart” with Riot afterwards. Moreover, Renata would generally be a favored champion, ensuring economic viability for this skin more than Bard – a champion that is much harder to play and currently out of the meta.
But regardless, for T1, any skin will likely be a hit, especially the Worlds skin. Therefore, Keria’s revelation could further heighten the excitement for fans eagerly awaiting the day Riot officially unveils the 2023 Worlds skins for T1.
