With T1 now making a strong, convincing push into the Worlds 2024 Finals, fans are already speculating about the skins that Faker and his teammates might select if they secure the championship. The prospect of custom skins for each champion, chosen by the players, has long been a tradition in League of Legends, celebrating their journey to the top.
In fact, when T1 claimed the title at Worlds 2023, the players’ final choices sparked lively discussions, as many skin picks underwent last-minute adjustments. The most notable was Faker’s decision opting for Orianna, while Keria grappled with his choice between Bard and Renata Glasc.
This year, the community is eagerly debating which champions T1 might immortalize in skin form if they claim the Summoner’s Cup at Worlds 2024. The rule remains the same: each selected champion must have been used in at least one game during the tournament to qualify. Here’s a look at the top contenders for each player.
Worlds 2024 T1 might choose if they win
Zeus
In the previous championship, T1 Zeus wavered between Yone and Jayce but ultimately picked Jayce. However, Yone hasn’t featured in his champion pool this tournament, leaving him out of the skin conversation. For 2024, the spotlight falls on Gnar or Gragas. Gnar stands out as a strong candidate, being Zeus’s most-played champion (62 games and counting). Gnar fits well with the youthful aura that Zeus brings to the team. Gragas, too, has seen usage, but Gnar’s history and unique personality might give him the edge as Zeus’s skin selection.
Oner
T1 Oner’s fearless, aggressive playstyle in the jungle has been epitomized by Vi, showcasing an approach to engagements and map control. Following his Lee Sin skin from the previous championship, Vi seems a fitting choice, capturing Oner’s fierce drive to secure objectives and punish his opponents. While Skarner and Sejuani remain possible picks given Oner’s champion pool, Vi aligns perfectly with Oner’s favored approach in the jungle.
Faker
For fans, T1 Faker’s skin choice holds significant anticipation and nostalgia. Many believe that Faker still owes the Galio skin, as this champion delivered iconic moments in his gameplay at Worlds 2017, though he couldn’t clinch the title that year. With Galio’s recent resurgence, the champion has emerged as a potential choice for Faker’s Worlds skin, a fitting homage to one of his career’s memorable champions. However, Sylas is also in contention, especially given Faker’s remarkable Sylas plays, showcasing his skill in seizing enemy ultimates and turning the tide of battle.
Gumayusi
T1 Gumayusi’s champion selection leans heavily toward Varus, a champion that consistently highlights his clutch plays. Varus has not only featured prominently in Worlds 2023 but has also been instrumental in delivering high-impact moments, including several crucial Baron steals. The synergy between Gumayusi’s confident playstyle and Varus’s calculated, high-stakes gameplay makes Varus a natural choice. The marksman’s postures and abilities align well with Gumayusi’s style, suggesting that Varus could be the champion chosen for his skin.
Keria
T1 Keria’s champion pool has long fascinated fans with its versatility, and his selection could follow a similar pattern to last year. While Lux remains a highly anticipated pick among his followers, Keria has yet to use her in this tournament, making her less likely. Instead, Renata Glasc seems to be a probable candidate, as Keria nearly selected her last year. Pyke also stands out as a unique alternative, given Keria’s recent standout performances on the champion, with aggressive roaming and skillful executions that have thrilled fans.
The decision will settles tonight at 9:00 pm, as T1 will face BLG in the Worlds 2024 Final.
