Since 2024, the Hall of Legends exists in League of Legends. This is the Hall of Fame of LoL and is intended to celebrate the most important and best players in e-sports history. After Faker, the second person has now been announced who will also receive new skins in the game.
What is the Hall of Legends? Since 2024, the Hall of Legends has existed. It aims to honor important players from the e-sports scene. Faker was the first player to be inducted into the Hall of Legends. In addition to the honor, the player will receive an expensive car from the sponsor Mercedes and their own skins in the game that the community can purchase.
Riot has now announced that Uzi will be the second player to receive a place in this Hall of Fame. The Chinese player has been around since 2012 and is a legendary ADC.
As part of the Hall of Legends, Uzi has also received his own trailer:
An ADC Legend
Who is Uzi, anyway? Jian Zi-Hao began his e-sports career in 2012 with the Chinese team Royal Club. As an ADC, he was known for his high mechanical talent. He was considered one of the best players of all time. Throughout his career, he achieved 7 pentakills in the professional scene.
He made it to the Worlds Season 3 in 2013 and secured 2nd place there. He remained with Royal Club for 5 years, proving his talent for a long time in the LPL, the Chinese league. In several tournaments, he and his team took first place, for example at the MSI 2018, but the world champion title has always eluded him.
How will he be celebrated? As with Faker, not only the player will receive something, but LoL will also revolve around him. The event surrounding Uzi is set to start on June 11. There will again be an event pass and cosmetics in his honor.
How expensive Uzi’s skins will be is still unknown. For the best
version of the Faker Ahri skin, you had to pay over €400. The other Faker skin for the champion LeBlanc could be unlocked through the paid event pass.
It is still not officially known which champions will receive the skins for Uzi. According to @LeagueofLeaks (via x.com), Kai’Sa is supposed to receive the Transcendent skin, i.e., the purchasable one, and Vayne the event pass skin. However, these are just leaks and not official information.
From Mercedes-Benz, a sponsor of Riot, Uzi will also receive a G-Class, which has been specially designed for him.
Although the Hall of Legends was established to celebrate important players, the price of the Faker skins has caused an uproar in the community. However, despite the criticism of the price, Faker was able to generate good revenue: LoL: Faker sells items worth 10 years’ salaries of ordinary people in one hour – would never use his €450 skin himself
