Next inductee to be included in LoL Hall of Legends
Riot Games has started the process to induct a second professional player into the League of Legends Hall of Legends, with voting expected to begin soon. Although the celebrations for Faker’s induction have not officially started yet, Riot is already selecting the experts who will form the next jury panel.
“We are choosing our next 50 panelists for the 2024 Hall of Legends voting process as we speak,” Riot Games said. They added that the formal voting process should commence “soon.”
These panelists will comprise the final group that decides on the Hall of Legends inductees, after regional experts propose a list of 20 players for them to consider.
However, this statement does not necessarily mean that Riot already has a list of nominees. Instead, it confirms that Riot has begun the process of selecting the panel that will ultimately decide the next inductee. This decision has already sparked conversations throughout the League of Legends esports community.
While Faker being the first inductee was expected, choosing the second pro to enter the Hall of Legends might not be as straightforward, with fans advocating for their favorite players.
Faker was chosen for his unmatched achievements and influence, fulfilling the criteria for this honorable recognition perfectly. His accomplishments include 4 World Championship titles, 10 LCK trophies, and significant contributions both on and off the Rift.
As the community gears up to celebrate Faker’s induction with a special in-game event, speculation about the next inductee is already widespread.
Fans are discussing potential candidates across social media, but the official announcement likely won’t be made until a year from now, as Riot plans to induct one player into the Hall of Legends each year. The third inductee will then be revealed in 2026.
This annual process ensures that the Hall of Legends will continue to honor the extraordinary contributions of League of Legends professionals to the esports scene. It preserves their legacies and inspires future generations of fans and new talents.
