T1 is on a roll, and with their 2024 Worlds win, they’re about to add their fifth unique skin line in League of Legends—more than any other organization in history. With T1 as the only team to have multiple Worlds wins, they’ve secured a permanent spot in League’s legacy. Rumor has it, Riot’s art team might even be running out of fresh ideas!
So, which champions will carry T1’s latest victory skins? Here’s what we know so far:
T1’s Champion Picks for the 2024 Worlds Skins
In an article by Redbull, Riot’s skins lead mentioned that while Faker hasn’t settled on his pick yet, his teammates have a shortlist of champions that helped bring home the win this year. Keep in mind that these choices aren’t final—they could change before Riot begins work on the skins.
Current Picks:
- Zeus: Gnar, Camille, Gragas
- Oner: Vi, Xin Zhao
- Faker: Will let the fans decide!
- Gumayusi: Jhin, Varus
- Keria: Pyke, Renata
T1’s players have dropped some hints about which champions might get the honor of their 2024 Worlds skins. Here’s a look at each player’s potential pick:
- Zeus: Gragas, Camille, or Ornn
- Oner: Vi or Xin Zhao
- Faker: Leaving it up to the fans! (Likely favorites: Sylas or Galio)
- Gumayusi: Jhin or Varus
- Keria: Renata Glasc or Pyke
Faker’s Expanding Skin Collection: A New Challenge for Riot’s Art Team
With yet another Worlds win under his belt, Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok is adding to his already impressive skin collection. In fact, Faker now has more skins than almost a third of League’s 168 champions, which presents Riot’s skin team with a fun creative challenge. Faker will be adding a ninth skin to his personal collection! He already has four Worlds skins, three Hall of Legends skins, and two from previous championships. After all, how do you keep innovating skins for one of League’s most legendary players? Fans are eager to see what Riot comes up with next!
Zeus has shared that he’s leaning towards Gnar or Camille, but Gragas remains in the running. He’s even considering getting some preliminary sketches to help him choose.
On the other hand, Faker is taking a laid-back approach, letting fans help pick his champion. Not a huge skin user himself (even skipping a rare skin Riot gifted him), Faker hasn’t shown a strong preference. If we had to guess, Sylas could be a great choice, as he’s been crucial in some of T1’s key victories.
How Riot Turned Faker's Ahri Dream into a Legendary Surprise
Last year, that was the tough call Riot's skin team had to make when Faker requested an Ahri skin to celebrate his Worlds win. At the time, the team had already started planning the Hall of Legends collection, but Faker had no idea—so they were keeping his Ahri idea on the table while gathering all his thoughts on what he’d want in an Ahri skin. Despite multiple offerings from the Riot team, Faker held strong on Ahri, but after a bit of nudging, he opened up about Orianna too.
Just two weeks later, the team finally let him in on the surprise: not one, but two Ahri skins were already on the way for him in the Hall of Legends collection. Once Faker saw the big picture, he was all in, and they had a chance to dive deeper into Orianna ideas.
Keria’s Epic Skin Showdown: Renata vs. Bard—Who Would Win?
Last year, T1’s Keria found himself in the ultimate skin dilemma, torn between two champions: Renata and Bard. It was a choice that nearly went down to the wire, and for those in the know, the back-and-forth was a legendary saga.
Initially, Keria was set on picking Renata. But then came the moment of truth—the Riot team showed him the Bard concept art. Cue the flip-flopping. One day, it was Renata. The next, Bard. And back again. His manager finally reached out with the definitive “Yes, it’s Renata… wait, scratch that, it’s Bard!” Bard’s skin has since become a fan favorite in that year’s lineup, proving that sometimes, indecision can lead to something truly magical.
