According to the latest leaks and videos from Asia, the champion shown in the picture will be the main character of the 2023 World Championship skin. On the other hand, it seems that the sales of this skin will impact the final prize pool of the championship.
In the days leading up to the Worlds, the entire LoL community usually has a lot of anticipation. People want to know every single detail of the championship. At the same time, the community wants to experience the excitement of the matches and know the events, rewards, and themes of the Worlds being held in South Korea.
However, one of the points that causes the most expectation among LoL players and fans is the skin of the tournament. Remember that this is a crucial factor, as a part of the sales contributes directly to the prize fund of the competition. Therefore, this skin must be attractive to attract the largest possible audience. After LeBlanc in 2020, Jarvan IV in 2021, and Azir’s brief visit to Shurima last year, we will have a character to give the tournament something to discuss.
Leaks claim Renekton as the lucky champion
According to details revealed by SkinSpotlights and LeagueOfLeaks leaks, Renekton would be the winner of this year’s skin. As we have seen in the LEC finals or this Super League promotion phase, the crocodile is a character that is now quite strong and has been prioritized in many contests. A priori, his magic resistance has been slightly weakened, but we don’t think this will significantly impact the game’s meta.

The 2023 World Cup skin
If everything stays the same as in previous years, this skin would be epic and worth 1350 RP. In addition, it would have up to four chromas of various colors. Although the release date of this cosmetic is not entirely certain, it should appear with patch 13.20, which is expected on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. The skin is already accessible in the PBE patch that will be released next week. It is important to note that this skin will only be available for a short period, and sales of this skin, as usual, will increase the cash value of the tournament by precisely 25% of its price.
On the other hand, the previous world skins should not be confused with the Victorious masks. The League of Legends Worlds skins celebrate the end of the season and the celebration of this important tournament. These skins can be purchased in the store at the end of each season and then revert to legendary. As for the Victorious skins are rewards offered to players who have reached gold or more elo or scored the necessary ranked points to obtain it.
