On November 6, the eleventh edition of the League of Legends World Championships crowned the Chinese team EDward Gaming against DAMWON Kia – defending champion. After a short year in South Korea, the trophy had therefore returned to Chinese soil.
Since then, there have been many guesses about which champions players choose to celebrate their victory. After a first leak of the final splashart on the Chinese networks, Riot Games unveiled this evening a first teaser of the cosmetics – confirming in passing the choices of the players.
Logical choices
Here are the 5 champions chosen by the players:
- Top lane _ Li " Flanders " Xuan-Jun: Graves
- Jungle - Zhao " JieJie " Li-Jie: Viego
- Mid Lane - Lee " Scout " Ye-chan as Zoe
- ADC - Park " Viper " Do-hyeon: Aphelios
- Support - Tian " Meiko " Ye: Yuumi
Each player, not without great surprise, chose one of the champions he had played the most during the tournament. For Flanders, the top laner is therefore Graves who wins (11 games played) against Jayce (5 games played).
At the jungle level, it was expected that Jiejie would choose Jarvan since he had played him in 9 games. But when you think about it, the Demacian Example is already well stocked in terms of Worlds skins (Fnatic Jarvan and Fnatic Samsung Galaxy). The player finally set his sights on Viego... which he only played once during the Worlds. But hey, as he won with it, why not...
The choice of Scout , the mid laner, is absolutely not surprising since it is Zoe who wins. Quite simply because he shone with the champion during the final but especially during the last two games which led the team to the coronation.
Viper had already settled on three champions during the press conference: Aphelios, Ezreal and Lucian. Even though he favored Lucian more during the tournament, he finally opted for Aphelios. And when we know how difficult it is to create appearances on the champion because of his spell kit, we hope that the team in charge of the skin has not spent too many sleepless nights.
Meiko also had a reduced list: Yuumi, Nami and Lulu, three enchanters he played as much. The support is a worshiper of the most hated little kitten in the rift, so Yuumi wins!
These 5 new skins will hit the PBE for the 12.9 cycle —along with the new western cosmetics—to hit the live servers in just over two weeks. So, are you satisfied with the result?
