Caster Hoàng Luân Reveals Surprising “Behind the Scenes” Story About Hall of Legends Voting
As we know, recently, Riot officially announced Uzi as the second player in League of Legends professional history to be inducted into the Hall of Legends and will own two skins for the champions Kai’Sa and Vayne. Of course, this has been speculated since last year, after Faker received his skin. However, there are still many debates, especially since Uzi has never won a World Championship title. But recently, Caster Hoàng Luân disclosed a story: Everything might have been “rigged”.
According to Caster Hoàng Luân, from his sources, among the players nominated by this individual (up to 3), none have ever won a World Championship trophy. At the same time, the player that this individual believes deserves to be on the nomination list is not even in Riot’s shortlist.
This means that Riot essentially had its choices made and narrowing down the list was merely to ensure that the selections were as convincing as possible. This is actually reasonable since clearly after Faker was honored in 2024, Uzi’s name has appeared frequently. Even when he once streamed denying being chosen for HoL, many viewers still believe that Uzi will “follow in Faker’s footsteps”. The LPL has also built Uzi’s image similarly to “the Faker of the Chinese region”.
And it’s almost certain that the future Hall of Legends will continue to spark controversy
In reality, aside from Faker, everyone can guess that future selections will cause controversy. These selections, after all, are based on subjective factors, especially in LoL – a game that has only existed for about 13 to 14 years. Even in older sports, controversies can linger, so the HoL of LoL is no exception. But perhaps that is exactly what Riot needed, as the HoL has garnered the attention they hoped for.
