EDG's League of Legends Worlds 2021 skins are expected to be released with patch 12.9

EDG, after a hard-fought win against Damwon KIA, became the victors of League of Legends Worlds 2021 back in November. Since then, the biggest reason for enthusiasm among fans has been the champions that the players are going to select for the exclusive skins.

Every year, after a team wins Worlds, Riot Games works with the winning team and releases five skins based on the name of the same; the champions that receive the skins are selected by the players as well, as has been mentioned before.

These skins are released a few months after Worlds, and the name of the player representing the champion is engraved in the teleport animation of the skin. The skins are also considered to be legacy items, as once they leave the store, there is no other way of obtaining them.

Hence, the hype surrounding them is usually high as players flock to buy the skins upon release. Apart from that, these skins are also a way to immortalize the team as well as the players who worked hard to win the biggest trophy that League of Legends has to offer.

This year, the team of Flandre, Jiejie, Scout, Viper, and Meiko will be getting their own exclusive skins for Graves, Viego, Zoe, Aphelios, and Yuumi, respectively.

Initially, there had been a few leaks, but Riot Games confirmed the same with an official post a few days back.

Even though an official release date has not been provided, the skins are expected to hit the store sometime around the middle of May. This means fans can expect the skins around the time patch 12.9 or 12.10 releases. Obviously, this is also speculation, but that is what the leakers from the Chinese community are suggesting.

Apart from that, usually, all of the World championship skins are priced at 1350 RP. This was the case with Damwon KIA last year as well. And the chances of things changing are definitely quite low.
