The much-anticipated T1 skins have finally made their debut on the Public Beta Environment, marking a significant moment for fans of League of Legends. These skins come after a wait of almost ten months and are designed to commemorate T1's outstanding performance at the 2024 World Championships. Each skin reflects the legacy and triumphs of the South Korean esports behemoth, renowned for its track record and excellence under the leadership of Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok.
A Celebration of Victory
The release of these skins honors T1's historic fifth World Championship title, celebrating the team's enduring impact in the world of esports. This exclusive line features a striking black, red, and silver color scheme that adorns several champions, including Varus and Vi, capturing key moments from their victorious campaign.
Each skin is uniquely tied to the players' contributions. A special spotlight has been placed on Faker, the tournament MVP, with his Yone and Prestige Sylas skins, marking his remarkable eighth and ninth Worlds skins. Alongside Faker, Choi 'Zeus' Woo-je's Gnar, Mun 'Oner' Hyeon-jun's Vi, Lee 'Gumayusi' Min-hyeong's Varus, and Ryu 'Keria' Min-seok's Pyke all feature in this coveted release.
Visual and Historic Elements
The T1 skins were revealed with a new splash art, a PBE preview, and an evocative trailer that recounts T1's monumental victory. Each skin is distinguished by their black and silver armor, enhanced with vibrant red crystals. In-game, these skins exude a subtle crimson glow and depict red ability effects, enhancing the immersive experience for players.
Notably, the skins have built-in references to unforgettable moments from the tournament. For instance, Zeus's Gnar recall imitates the iconic scene of him playfully knocking himself over with the championship trophy. Similarly, Gumayusi's Varus delightfully references an endearing post-match moment in Paris where he was seen enjoying an oversized croissant.
