Rumors Surrounding T1’s First Skin for the 2024 World Championship
Did you know that after winning the World Championship, the reigning champion team will have the right to choose a commemorative skin for themselves, which will be released in the following season? For T1, this matter has drawn significant attention, and the teams themselves must choose their skin design carefully, as the skin not only represents a notable achievement but also showcases each player’s unique characteristics, which fans are very keen to see.
This year, according to some insiders, T1 may have Oner as the first player to receive a “champion skin” for their personal account this coming season. According to Oner, he chose Vi because “there’s nothing else left to choose from.”
Oner stated: “Initially, I was torn between Vi and Xin Zhao. But then Riot made changes. So I couldn’t choose Xin Zhao and had to go with Vi.” Doran and Faker also supported Oner’s decision, suggesting that Vi would be the better choice.
Fans Excited Over Riot’s Intervention in Oner’s Xin Zhao Choice for T1 2024 Skin
No one truly understands the reasons behind Riot’s intervention, as Oner himself revealed. However, this situation is not without precedent. Riot has previously denied Faker a CKTG skin for Ahri, instead offering him the Hall of Legends Ahri skin.
However, if Xin Zhao does indeed share the spotlight with Ahri, the second player to enter the Hall of Legends will likely be a member of Team Dragon. Previously, there was speculation that ClearLove could be the next member contributing to the Hall of Legends, while LCK fans believe it could be Bengi—the Dragon Knight with multiple World Championship titles in League of Legends history and the “Bobo Spell of the 3rd Quang Vuong.”
With Oner’s revelations, League of Legends fans may have much to look forward to in 2025, not just the CKTG skin for T1 but potentially a brand new Hall of Legends skin with a legendary player alongside Faker.
