The wait is finally over. After months of leaks, fan mockups, and endless speculation, Riot Games has pulled back the curtain on T1’s Worlds 2025 championship skins. The skins are currently heading to the PBE for testing, which means we now have our first real look at the cosmetics honoring the greatest dynasty League of Legends has ever seen. And honestly, they did not disappoint.

This set celebrates something the game had never witnessed before T1 pulled it off. On November 9, 2025, T1 defeated KT 3-2 in the World Finals to secure an unprecedented three-peat, fighting back from a 2-1 deficit in a five-game grand final to write history. So yeah, these skins carry a lot of weight.

T1 Worlds 2025 Skins Theme and First Look

This year’s collection rolls with a red and gold color scheme, and the whole thing is built around a concept called “Ascended Warriors.” The theme combines wing motifs, ascension imagery, and ornate details to represent T1’s rise from elite competitors to legendary champions. The dev team apparently leaned on three pillars while building it out, those being Legacy, High Status, and Effortlessly Cool, with shared visual elements showing up across all six skins.

If you remember last year’s black and gold knight look from the 2024 set, this one goes in a more divine, almost godlike direction. It fits. After a three-peat, mortal armor probably felt like an understatement.

T1 Worlds 2025 Skins Full Champion List

Here’s how the roster’s picks shook out across the map.

Faker’s Galio Is the One Everyone Wanted

Faker's Galio T1 2025 championship

Let’s start with the obvious. Faker is finally getting his Galio skin, which was a long time coming, and fans waited a long time for this. Galio has been one of his most iconic champions for years, so seeing it immortalized as a Worlds skin feels right. The details here are stacked. The recall animation shows six stars, signifying Faker’s triumph at six Worlds events, and this brings his personal skin count to ten in the game.

There’s a great behind-the-scenes nugget, too. Faker was pleased with the design of Galio’s wings, which feature an embedded T1 logo. He even had hands-on input during development. He suggested adding VFX to enhance Galio’s movements and requested an effect where the Earth appears to shrink to emphasize the ascent, which was also implemented. On top of that, Galio’s ult places a T1 mark on the ground when he ults, stamping the logo into the heart of the enemy team.

Doran’s Ambessa and the Krug Joke Nobody Forgot

Doran's Ambessa

Choi ‘Doran’ Hyun-joon’s Ambessa skin faced several challenges during the planning process. The toplaner asked for a powerful athlete motif, an intense red weapon, and a hairstyle that resembled a lion’s mane, and the team delivered exactly that with a darker outfit that plays up Ambessa’s natural strength.

The recall is the real winner here, though. It features Ambessa pulling Doran’s sword, shield, and ring from a trophy and running toward the battlefield, while a Krug watches from afar. That Krug detail is a perfect inside joke. It references a funny moment during a regional match against KT Rolster when Doran died to Krugs, and everyone was shocked and amused. Riot turning a meme death into a permanent skin flex is exactly the kind of thing that makes these team skins special.

Oner’s Xin Zhao Keeps It Simple

Oner's Xin Zhao t1 lol

Oner’s Xin Zhao skin focused on maintaining his signature cloak-jacket element, and his requirements were relatively clear, include the cloak design and use a red weapon. Apparently, this one came together easiest of the bunch. Because the design was finalized early, it served as the benchmark for the entire skin line. The recall is loaded with tributes, throwing in references like a Lee Sin kick, a Poppy hammer, and Pantheon’s shield to nod at past victories with the team.

Gumayusi’s Prestige Miss Fortune and Yunara

Miss Fortune  T1 lol

As Finals MVP, Gumayusi earned the privilege of two cosmetics. Alongside the standard skins, Finals MVP Gumayusi receives a Mythic-tier Prestige Miss Fortune skin, making him the only player in the lineup to receive two commemorative cosmetics. His second pick is Yunara, giving him a regular skin and the prestige edition.

Yunara t1 lol

The Miss Fortune recall is adorable and personal. Its recall animation shows his Finals MVP trophy held by his pet, Doongi. The skin also leans heavily on spell effects and includes a nod to the three world trophies T1 lifted back to back to back.

Keria’s Seraphine Brings the Wings

Closing out the lineup is the support’s pick. Keria’s Seraphine skin is characterized by the most prominent wing motif in the lineup, with the developers adding vitality to the movement of the wings to create a texture that looks as if it is alive and breathing.

There are sweet little touches too, like heart effects in Keria’s signature, alongside enemies getting hearts when they are charmed by her ultimate.

T1 Worlds 2025 Skins Price

Here’s the honest part. Riot has not locked in official pricing yet. As of now, Riot hasn’t officially announced final prices for these skins. That said, the pattern is pretty predictable. Worlds champion skins are almost always released as Epic skins, which puts them at 1350 RP, exactly how the T1 Worlds 2023 skins were priced. So expect each base skin to land at 1350 RP.

The Prestige Miss Fortune is the exception since it sits at Mythic tier, which usually means picking it up through Mythic Essence or special event channels rather than a straight RP purchase. One thing worth mentioning for the fans who like supporting the team directly 30% of the revenue from these championship skins will be distributed to the T1 organization and its players to support and revitalize the esports ecosystem.

T1 Worlds 2025 Skins Release Date

If you’re saving up, mark your calendar. Riot Games has confirmed that the T1 Worlds 2025 skins will release with patch 26.14, which launches on July 15, 2026. Before that, the skins are heading to the PBE for testing, giving players roughly two weeks to try them out before they go live.

So we are looking at a mid-July drop, just shy of eight months after T1 lifted the Summoner’s Cup. Not a bad way to cap off the dynasty’s legacy in-game.
