Riot Games has opened a Hall of Fame in League of Legends . The first player to enter the Hall of Fame of LoL is the 4-time world champion and “undying demon king” Faker. The South Korean will initially receive a Mercedes worth €195,000. In his honor, there will also be an in-game event.
What is this Hall of Fame?
- The Hall of Fame was announced in January 2024: In LoL, it will be called “Hall of Legends.” The institution is intended to correspond to the “Hall of Fame” of US sports. The best players of all time will be honored there regularly. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is considered a special honor.
- Riot Games stated that there are several professional players worth being inducted into a unique Hall of Fame. An independent jury made up of 50 experts and industry veterans has been assembled to select the first Hall of Famer.
- Each year, players will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Faker will be the first player in the Hall of Legends of LoL
This is the first: The first LoL player in the Hall of Fame had to be Faker, who won his fourth world championship in 2023 and is generally regarded as the greatest and most important player in LoL.
With a video honoring his achievements, it was announced on May 22 that Faker will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on June 14:

In the video, there are eloquent words from the president of e-sports at Riot Games, who explains that Faker’s name is synonymous with excellence in LoL.
A spokeswoman for Mercedes from Germany, the sales chairperson Britta Seeger, also says that Mercedes is happy to be part of e-sports. It is an honor to be the official “automobile” partner of the Hall of Legends.
This is his prize: Riot Games has a collaboration underway, and thus Faker also receives a special gift, a custom-made Mercedes-AMG SL 63, worth about €195,000.

As Dot Esports reports, it is now assumed that the Ahri skin that Faker wished for after winning the LoL Worlds 2023 will be presented as part of his induction into the Hall of Fame of LoL.
What happens now? Faker will receive an in-game event with cosmetic items that represent “the greatest achievements of his career.”
The event will also feature an event pass. Faker and T1 will receive a percentage of the revenues.
Once it was pretty clear that Faker would be the first to enter the Hall of Fame, speculation can now begin on who the second LoL player will be and when the first player from Europe or North America will make it. It has become quite difficult to find a candidate: The biggest European player leaves his team shortly before the new LEC split, replaced by a rookie
