The 2021 Worlds have designated EDG as the new World Champions. Which champions will they choose for their new Worlds skins?
The 2021 Worlds have come to an end. Edward Gaming’s final victory over DAMWON KIA rocked the League of Legends world. After a shaky second week of the group stage, many viewers had EDG off their list of favorites, but nobody better write off the best-of-fives.
Flandre, Jiejie, Scout, Viper, and Meiko bring the Summoner’s Cup back to the LPL after also winning the Summer Split Final of LPL 2021. The team looked great all year and with each game in Worlds 2021, they got another glow-up.
- In case you forgot the best part of Worlds 2021, here is their Opening Ceremony.
So, now that we know the winners, it’s time to get some thoughts on which champions will be getting some cool new EDG skins in the future.
Which champions will get EDG skins?
On Twitter, leakers have now shown the splash art of the 2021 World Championship skins. This means that the skins are now fixed and will probably be released soon.
These are the champions that EDG has decided on:
Position | Player | Champions |
Top Lane | Li “Flandre” Xuan-Jun | Graves |
Jungle | Zhao “JieJie” Li-Jie | Viego |
Mid Lane | Lee “Scout” Ye-chan | Zoe |
Bot Lane | Park “Viper” Do-hyeon | Aphelios |
Support | Tian “Meiko” Ye | Yuumi |
How do teams decide which champions get skins?
Each League of Legends World Champion can choose a champion to receive a skin. But what criteria is used to select a skin? Well, every champion a player gets in Worlds 2021 will be included in the pool for possible skins.
- Are you still into Arcane now that the Worlds are over?
The question remains, which champions EDG played in the 2021 Worlds in Reykjavik?
From which champions can EDG choose skins?

EDG Scout Skins
Scout has been part of EDG since 2016. So he’s been with us for 5 years, for better or worse. He even stood by EDG’s side during the big disaster in 2017. Now he finally wears the tiel “world champion” as well.

EDG Meiko Skins
Meiko is arguably one of the best players of all time. Four times LPL champion, MSI winner and now world champion. No one deserves this win more than Meiko. he is as much a part of EDG as the fingers I am writing this text with are a part of me.

The players haven’t finalized which skins it will end up being. However, the EDG skin lineup is pretty sure to look pretty cool. Congratulations again to the team.
Champion skin
Champion skin (or skin for short) refers to the color scheme or appearance of a champion. Most champion skins can be purchased in the Riot Shop with Riot Points, while others are/were only available for special events/promotions. However, some selected chroma skins (color-changed skins)can be purchased at special events for Blue Essence. Some champion skins bring new particles for visual effects, quotes, and sound effects. Each skin has its own splash art, which is displayed in the champion selection and loading screen. Since patch 7.16, the custom champion image is also matched to the skin in the game itself.
What is actually… “League of Legends”?
“League of Legends is one of the most successful esports titles in the world. But what is it actually about? And what makes the game so popular? An explanation for beginners.
What is League of Legends (“LoL”) about?
In a classic game of “League of Legends,” two teams each have five characters called champions, each with individual characteristics. The main goal of each team is to destroy the opponent’s Nexus (a main building). Before this can be attacked, however, several defenses must be torn down on at least one of the three central level routes (lanes). Similar to “Dota 2”, the heroes receive continuous support on their campaign from AI-controlled units called minions. They storm the battlefield at regular intervals and independently attack enemies or enemy buildings – but only on the three main paths of the map. Those who roam around in the surrounding jungle will have to do without minion help. As usual in the MOBA genre, the champions reach higher levels by collecting experience points. In the course of the match, they learn numerous new abilities. Provided they have enough gold, the player can also strengthen himself with new equipment. Each of the 141 hero characters that the player can currently choose from is assigned to one of six classes. Warriors can deal out a lot of damage, tanks take a lot of punishment, mages have powerful special abilities, and supporters can, among other things, replenish the mana energy of allies or heal their comrades-in-arms.
