As we know, T1 won the 2023 World Championship and, of course, following tradition, they will have a World Championship skin to honor this historic achievement. For T1, their World Championship skins will be even more special. Long-time fans will want to own this skin because it’s been a long time since they witnessed their “beloved team” dominate the League of Legends scene once again. New fans may also want to own this special skin line as they have the chance to see Faker and his teammates rise to the top – something that seemed incredibly distant and only a memory of the past.
Of course, with T1’s skin, Riot must also make a reasonable investment that reflects the significance of their championship win at the World Championship 2023. Many fans are even hoping this will be the most beautiful World Championship skin ever. After all, these skins will celebrate Faker’s fourth World Championship title – the G.O.A.T of League of Legends. Typically, the release of these skins will follow MSI 2024, which is when the global League of Legends community will get to see them.
However, according to a recent statement from Keria, there have been some changes and they are not very positive for League of Legends fans, especially T1 supporters. Keria mentioned: “Regarding the World Championship skins? From what I know, they will be released a bit late. Much later than usual.” Furthermore, the T1 Support player does not have precise information on when the World Championship 2023 skin line for T1 will be “released”.
Nevertheless, many viewers still hope this indicates that Riot is investing thoroughly in T1’s World Championship 2023 skins. Moreover, according to Riot’s plan, the Hall of Fame for League of Legends will also debut in 2024, with Faker as the “opening” player. Perhaps, having to prepare both the World Championship skins and the Hall of Fame skins means that Riot will be busier than usual, which is understandable.
World Championship skins not only honor the players but also reflect the personality, preferences, or characteristics that the players have imbued into them. Therefore, if fans have to wait longer to receive “masterpieces,” League of Legends viewers might not mind at all.
