A new champion for the 2021 League of Legends World Championship was crowned. After a thrilling five-game series, Edward Gaming of the LPL emerged victorious with a score of 3-2, defeating the defending champion DWG KIA.
Even though Worlds has only just ended, the EDG players made it apparent at the post-finals press conference that they’ve already started thinking about which champions they’d like to have their own special skin for.
Every year, each of the members who played in the Finals of the winning team of Worlds is granted their own special champion skin. The skins are always based on the team in some way, thus this year’s will be customized with EDG’s own style.
