On Saturday, November 2nd, the final of the world championship in League of Legends was played. For the third time in a row, the South Korean team T1 was in the final, and for the second time in a row, Faker (28) and his young teammates were able to win the world championship. They now explain which skins they wish for the victory of the WM 2024.
These are the skins players wish for: The 5 players of T1 stated in the press conference after their victory which skins are possible for them (via X):
- Zeus (Top lane) has Gragas, Camille, and Ornn in mind.
- Jungler Oner is eyeing Vi or Xin Zhao.
- ADC Gumaysui is choosing between Jhin and Varus.
- Keria is still deciding between the support characters Renata and Pyke.
Faker will let fans decide
Which skin will Faker choose? He is keeping that open. Faker says, once again, that the fans will decide which skin he will take. This will lead to a poll on social media.
Since Faker was voted MVP of the finals, he will receive an additional “prestige skin” from Riot Games.
Which skins could he choose? Faker has played 17 games in total in the group stage of the LoL Worlds 2024 and selected 7 different champions. He can only choose from these 7 champs (via lol.fandom)
He has played Sylas 6 times, Ahri 4 times. Yone 3 times and Galio 2 times, including his outstanding performance in the final. He has played once each on Neeko and Akali.
Of the mentioned champions, Faker currently has only one skin: Ahri. This is the controversial, very expensive skin.
A favorite for a Worlds skin 2024 is Galio, with whom Faker played an outstanding final. But Sylas would also be a great option, with whom he put Chovy in his place.
Strategically, it is often wiser to choose a female champion because female skins traditionally sell better. So maybe it will be Akali after all.
Faker has more skins than 63 champions in LoL
What skins does Faker already have? Faker is in the situation that he has already become world champion for the 5th time and is regarded as the “face of LoL.” He already has 7 different skins (via Dexerto), four for the wins of world championships, three because Riot has gifted them to him for his outstanding position in LoL and wants to profit from him:
- SKT T1 Zed (2013)
- SKT T1 Ryze (2015)
- SKT T1 Syndra (2016)
- T1 Orianna (2023)
- Risen Legend Ahri
- Immortalized Legend Ahri
- Risen Legend Leblanc
If the Worlds 2024 skin and the Prestige skin are added, Faker will have 9 skins and thus more skins than 63 champions in LoL. At the LoL Worlds 2023, there was quite a commotion about Faker’s skin. Because this “I let the fans decide” did not go as originally planned: LoL: Faker changes his skin again for Worlds 2023 – Some fans are devastated
