Faker’s Potential Legacy in Worlds Skins
SKT T1 and Faker’s Dominance
Faker’s team, SKT T1, has already had three, soon to be four, personalized skins following their victory at Worlds 2023.

The community is not just requesting but demanding a unique Worlds skin for Faker, in recognition of his unprecedented achievement of four Worlds titles. This desire is evident in discussions on platforms like Reddit, where fans suggest a legendary 1850RP skin for Faker, a first in the history of Worlds skins, typically capped at 1350RP.
