Gumayusi Gives Fans Hope About Faker’s Worlds Skin
Recently, according to some information circulating on social media X, Faker may have chosen Yone for his Worlds skin. If this is true, it could lead to good revenue for T1’s Mid Lane from this skin sale. After all, Yone is a more popular champion and versatile in many positions compared to Galio. However, according to Faker’s teammate Gumayusi, everything is still up in the air.
Specifically, in a recent stream, Gumayusi stated: “Faker plays Galio very well, so I think he will choose a skin for Galio, right? What? Where did the rumor about the Yone skin come from?”.
It can be said that while not directly admitting or denying, Gumayusi also believes that Faker will choose the Galio skin. This is the champion that directly helped T1 secure victory in the decisive match against BLG. Previously, at Worlds 2017, Faker’s Galio was truly a “nightmare” for the “royal army” RNG when he played this champion for 5 consecutive matches and helped SKT T1 win.
Faker Will Always Be the Exception with Worlds Skins
While players tend to choose champions they have used at Worlds and are popular in ranked games, Faker is the exception to almost every rule in professional League of Legends, including when it comes to Worlds skin sales. As long as it’s Faker’s skin, it will always generate revenue from high to very high. For instance, Faker’s expensive Hall of Legends skin still has excellent sales.
Therefore, the community is probably just waiting to see which skin Faker will choose, just like the side stories during the days before the tournament, while the audience is immersed in the drama of T1. Any champion chosen will likely receive support anyway.
