Several "SG_" files were added in today's update. Below is the "SG_skybox_a.dds" asset, which features art very similar to previously seen Star Guardian art. Unsure what these will be used for exactly but the handful of files are all related to map textures /environment.
Star Guardians will prob be for Patch 7.14 as 7.13 seems to be SKT's Patch

A skybox is a thing that fits over the map. (Imagine the Skybox like an oven and the map is a baking sheet you stick in the middle of it.) There are also skyspheres but I think those are pretty difficult to work with. They're just pretty much extra graphics to make the world seem more than just land, because even though it's a top down game in some cases you'll see the sky, like at the edge of the map and if the camera angle were changed (such as in a cinematic).
I'm looking forward to our Star Guardian-themed Summoner's Rift! Hopefully they do something for Twisted Treeline too.
Gosh how I wish the leak would be wrong and we would get other Star Guardians than Ezreal and Syndra.... But since it was pretty accurate until now, it seems likely.
Sigh Too bad that there won't be a champion I'm interested in for the next line up of a skin line I absolutely love....
Syndra doesn't seem to fantastic as I can imagine she'll just have SG Lux's costume with pink orbs and stars inside her orbs, but Riot is fantastic at making skins so I hope, and believe, they'll do something better than just that.
Ezreal is fantastic no matter how hard they screw up. As long as he gets a SG skin.
Also there are clearly some eyes in what appears to be a figure. It almost looks like the figure has largers "echos' of it coming off, sort of like it shrunk or grew. At the top it almost looks like what might be Aurelion Sol's neck and under his jaw.
Someone else hoping that they are making a beautiful website like last time? And something little special like the personality test which Star Guardian is like you to get an icon. :D
I loved that I had Jinx as my result. Oh and the song they released with that video! God, I hope it turns out as great as last time.

I'm actually suspecting Syndra and Ezreal to be the "bad guys" of the SG verse, it'd make more sense with the mahou shoujo genre.
So not excited for Star Guaridan Exzreal. I just hope they at least go a Tuxedo Mask direction.
SG Syndra....ill have you soon
