As we know, one of the hot topics among League of Legends fans right now is which champions the T1 players will choose for their CKTG skins. While some players have made their choices early on, Keria has kept many fans on edge as his favorite champion, Lux, didn’t make the cut. Additionally, many are eagerly anticipating how the players will advise Riot’s design team to make these skins truly special, worthy of the special championship at CKTG 2023 that just concluded.
According to some recent information, the players have finalized their choices for the CKTG 2023 skins. As expected by the audience, the selected champions are Jayce (Zeus), Lee Sin (Oner), Ahri (Faker), and Jinx (Gumayusi). Notably, Keria has chosen Bard as his champion for the CKTG 2023 skin. Furthermore, contrary to what many fans hoped, Riot is said to be maintaining its rule: only the FMVP will receive an additional Prestige skin, which will belong to Zeus’s Jayce.
However, the interesting information revolves around the effects reportedly inspired by the suggestions of the players. Oner is said to have decided to pay homage to former coach Bengi, who also had the Lee Sin skin from SKT T1, in a very special way. The jungler born in 2002 revealed: “I thought of a Taekwondo-themed Lee Sin. Like when I execute the Recall effect, T1 Lee Sin will fight SKT T1 Lee Sin (Bengi’s skin). And when the effect finishes, T1 Lee Sin will kick Bengi’s SKT T1 Lee Sin out of the arena.”
Oner’s bold idea has garnered much praise from T1 fans and the League of Legends audience. Many are eagerly hoping that Riot will bring this scene to life. Some comments suggest that this action not only pays homage to Bengi’s legendary SKT T1 Lee Sin but also implies that Bengi can now step away from Faker, and Oner will take on the role left by SKT T1’s former “God of the Jungle”.
It’s possible that Oner didn’t think too deeply about it, but indeed, the T1 players do not lack creative ideas. This only adds to the excitement among fans as they eagerly await the official release of the CKTG 2023 skins.
