As well as the acclaim, the money, and the trophy, one of the best prizes available to the winner of League of Legends' annual World Championships is the ability to become immortalized in the game with a bespoke skin. For one of the 2023 winners, however, that dream became a nightmare - until now.
When T1 support player Keria took the title along with his team back in November, he was quickly disappointed to learn that he couldn't have the skin he wanted. Keria's favorite champion is Lux, but the rules state that you have to have played a character during the tournament in order for them to be eligible for a Worlds skin. In a classic example of suffering from success, T1's run through the tournament was so decisive that Keria didn't have a chance to play the character, so he wasn't able to pick her for his skin.
