League of Legends and esports GOAT Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok has been given another champion skin by Riot Games, this time in Wild Rift.

The six-time LoL World Champion is due for another skin after T1 won LoL Worlds for the third consecutive year last month.

Now, Faker has also been given a new skin in the mobile game called ‘Galaxy Slayer Zed Exquisite Edition.’

The skin was designed in collaboration with Faker, who influenced the final design.

This isn’t the first time the mid laner has promoted the mobile game. Faker created a masterclass for when Ryze was released on Wild Rift.

Galaxy Slayer Zed was originally released in LoL back in 2019, but this new Faker skin will be exclusive to Wild Rift.

Zed is one of Faker’s many signature champions. Faker already has an SKT T1 Zed skin in LoL due to his LoL Worlds 2023 win.

Playing Zed, Faker created one of the most iconic LoL plays ever.

During his debut year, Faker dizzingly danced around Ryu ‘Ryu’ Sang-wook, who was also playing Zed in a mindblowing solo kill.

The pure skill and fast-paced play caused the commentators to infamously scream: “Faker, what was that?”

professional player and esports legend Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok has collaborated once again with Wild Rift, this time to release a personalised Zed skin.

Outside of the trailer, no other details for the upcoming Wild Rift skin have been revealed, including the price or release date.

Who will Faker pick for his LoL Worlds 2025 skin?

This will be Faker’s 11th skin in a third game, following on from his Orianna Teamfight Tactics skin and various LoL skins.

All of Faker’s skins released so far are:

• SKT T1 Zed (Worlds 2013)
• SKT T1 Ryze (Worlds 2015)
• SKT T1 Syndra (Worlds 2016)
• T1 Orianna (Worlds 2023)
• TFT Chibi T1 Orianna
• T1 Yone (Worlds 2024)
• T1 Prestige Sylas (Worlds 2024 MVP)
• Risen Legend LeBlanc (Hall of Legends)
• Risen Legend Ahri (Hall of Legends)
• Immortalised Legend Ahri (Hall of Legends)
• Galaxy Slayer Zed Exquisite Edition (Wild Rift only, to be released)

And a 12th skin will be released next year due to T1’s LoL Worlds 2025 triumph.

Having posted fan polls, it appears the ninth champion to get a Faker skin in LoL will be either Galio or Mel after both won in fan polls.

Galio is a pick that Faker has long been known for. The pick helped him win Worlds 2024, and he played it again in the last Worlds 2025 match.

For now, fans are impatiently waiting to find out Faker and T1’s LoL Worlds 2025 skin choices.
