After the 2021 League of Legends Global Finals EDG won the championship, many people naturally began to discuss the third championship skin in the LPL region in addition to excitement, in fact, on this topic, the EDG players had revealed in the post-match interview after the final at that time, although the answer given at that time was still relatively vague, but in some interviews after returning home, everyone finally finalized the champion skin candidate.
From this previous multi-party information:
Holy Gun Brother: Will choose between the male gun and Jace
Jie jie chooses a representative hero
Scout - Pick one of the heroes used in the final (follow-up add is Zoe)
viper: I'll choose one of Ephreus, Lucian, or EZ (the most vocal is Lucian)
meiko: I personally prefer Lulu, or Yumi or Nami to pick one of them
So as I've analyzed before, the final lineup could be the Men's Gun, the Crown Prince, Zoe, Lucian and Lulu
However, this morning, foreign media revealed a publicity map of the skin of the suspected S11 champion, and from the content of the picture, we can know that the lineup of the skins of this year's world champion is finally determined as: male gun, Foyego, Zoe, Erpheus and Lulu
Although there are some gaps with our expected lineup, it is generally acceptable, but EDG's championship skin lineup, there are two points that are still unexpected, one is Erpheus, the other is Foyego.
Erpheus was not the most preferred, but it was the most suitable for the market
In an analytical review article very early on, we said that the difficulty of making Lucian's skin with a fist is much simpler than that of Euphreus, and even T1 even Lucian is far more difficult than Ephelius. Like the League of Legends game, a very important content of skin design is the hero character modeling, Lucian no matter how to change, his model texture is far less than Ephreus, and Euphreus wants to make a skin, four different guns, this workload is directly doubled, and even said that making an Euphreus skin is equivalent to 3 ordinary skins, which is not exaggerated.
So why is it so complicated to design? The reason is actually in the hero of Ephelius, you can find that in recent versions, The appearance rate of Ephelius is gradually improving, especially in the professional arena, Euphreus has become a T0-level ADC existence, and the well-played Ephreus players can even achieve the blood counter-killing power to turn the tide, but A big problem of Ephelius is that there are too few skins, in addition to the Messenger of the Night, there is only one Guardian of the Bull, so it is natural to design a skin for him. In addition, Viper chose to use Euphreus also played a lot of highlight moments, so there was no problem.
Too much skin became the main cause, and the prince was replaced by Foyego
If you can, I believe that jiejie still wants the champion skin of The Crown Prince Jiawen the most, but there are too many champion skins of Jiawen, S3's SKT Gavin, S7's SSG Gavin, although the fist is already very loose for the duplicate champion skin, but in principle, it is better to avoid repetition as much as possible. So instead, I chose Foyego, and perhaps many people have to ask, so why not choose a blind monk? To know that blind monks are not only more popular, but also will certainly be a big seller, about this, in fact, I personally wonder.
It seems that the final final solution is Foyego, but the choice of Foyego also means that the designer will take a lot of risks, Foyego this hero because of its own passive mechanism, so there will be no moths, which is why the choice of Foyego is very unexpected.
If this revelation of foreign media is true, then the S11 World Championship skin is undoubtedly the most anticipated one, because whether it is from the choice of heroes or the difficulty of production, the game itself is a challenge, and we are also looking forward to how this skin symbolizing EDG winning the championship will be displayed in front of many League of Legends players in the future.
