Traditionally, a skin series is dedicated to the League of Legends – World Champions every year. In 2022, DRX took the title and got to decide which champions they wanted to pay tribute to

Every year, the reigning League of Legends World Champion gets to help design a skin series. In 2022, the Korean team DRX won the Worlds. Accordingly, the players were each allowed to choose a champion to whom they would like to dedicate a skin. For the first time, there is even a brand new Prestige Edition among the Worlds skins!

The DRX skins are in matching blue, and the backport animations have traditionally been customised with the signature of each star player.

Little fun fact on the side: BeryL (Support) is a big fan of Gacha games and especially Honkai 3rd Impact, the spiritual predecessor of the currently new Honkai: Star Rail.

Honkai 3rd appealed to the Korean so much that his Ashe skin should also be a homage to Elysia, a character of the game. He already announced this in an interview at the end of last year:

Now he”s been able to turn his vision into reality and both League of Legends and Honkai fans are excited.
