Faker’s 2023 Worlds Skin Pick: Orianna Over Ahri

January 2, 2024

LoL League of Legends

In a move that surprised many, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the celebrated League of Legends player, chose Orianna over Ahri for his 2023 Worlds Championship skin.

This decision, revealed after T1’s victory in the 2023 LoL Worlds Championship Series, sparked a mix of disappointment and curiosity among fans, especially those anticipating an Ahri skin.

Faker’s Change of Heart: Orianna Gets the Spotlight

Despite initial speculations and Faker’s own leanings towards Ahri, the final choice fell on Orianna. This decision was influenced by the disparity in the number of skins each champion has; Orianna has seven compared to Ahri’s fourteen. Faker’s preference shifted in favor of bringing diversity to the champion’s skin collection.

Teasing Ahri Fans with Promising News

During T1CON, Faker alluded to something exciting for Ahri enthusiasts, as reported by LCK journalist Ashley Kang. His cryptic hint, “I guess you may hear more good news next year,” has fueled speculation. Is Faker collaborating with Riot Games for an Ahri skin, or does he have insider knowledge of an upcoming release? Perhaps, he’s even contemplating a victorious Ahri skin for the LoL 2024 Worlds Championship Series.

The Dream of a Legendary Ahri Skin

If Faker is indeed involved in crafting an Ahri skin, fans are hoping for something extraordinary. Ideas like a Pool Party Ahri or an all-new Legendary Unkillable Demon King Ahri skin are floating around. Such a creation would not only satisfy Ahri fans but also fittingly encapsulate Faker’s legendary status in the League of Legends universe.

A Silver Lining for Ahri Fans

Even though Faker’s 2023 Worlds skin choice didn’t align with fan expectations, his tease suggests that all hope is not lost for Ahri aficionados. The future might still hold something special for the Nine-Tailed Fox, a sentiment echoed by Faker’s mysterious hint.

As the League of Legends community eagerly awaits further developments, one thing is certain: Faker’s influence and legacy continue to shape the game in unique and unexpected ways.
