Level Emotes are themed around Regions?

I've been looking through the S@20 post on the new PBE cycle, and I've noticed that the level-specific emotes & icon borders seem to be themed after various regions of Runeterra.

Level 40 & 125 - Tubes, air-filter looking thingies and green liquid; definitely Zaun themed, not sure why there are two of these though Level 50 - Clearly Hextech/Piltover themed due to the blue square & the cog Level 75 - This isn't too clear, but I'd assume it's supposed to be themed after Mount Targon, since there are circular patterns (similar to particle effects seen on Taric & item 3401 ) on the upper part of the emote, but imo the colour wouldn't really fit; it might be Noxian due to the colour and the shape which reminds me of an axe Level 100 - Not sure about this one, but if I had to guess it'd be Demacian, due to the white & gold colouring and the slight sword shape on the top Level 150 - Without a doubt, themed around the Shadow Isles: the tattered cloth, the swirling patterns and the blue & purple colouring Level 175 - Obviously Shuriman: gold & bronze colours, the bird symbol at the bottom and the swirling sand around

I really like the little details that were put into these ;)

(this is the first time I've ever posted anything to the boards, hopefully I haven't screwed anything up)

75 I think is noxus because it kinda resembles the axe of noxus

100 is definitely demacian wings

125 is a bit strange and to me on first impression looks like zaun but there's already zaun in 40.

also I guess screw you mount targon and bilgewater and the void

Maybe level 40 is supposed to be Bandle City? I definitely need these Piltover and Zaun emotes, they look awesome.

175 for Shurima??? So close but yet so far away. [sg-janna] But I like the 100 one so it should be ok. [sg-ahri-2] And Shadow Isles is cool be still 150...

I dislike that they look cartoonish, I was hoping for some more "realistic" looking emotes.

My assumption would be. Basic, Piltover, Noxus, Demacia, Zaun, Shadow Isles, Shurima.

My assumption with 125 being Zaun is due to it very closely resembling the Zaun crest. Much closer then the first one does. https://lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/frontpage/apps/prod/piltover/pt_BR/0d65273e55685b53b82f4f0ead52fc167a27f911/assets/img/zaun-crest-500.png

It's also very possible these aren't all of the level emotes as we're lacking an Ionia one.

I kind of don't link these just for the general art style they have, the problem with a lot of the emotes actually, but man that was a cool nod you picked up on.

I'm pretty sure 125 is Noxus and not Zaun.

Actually, forget that. The first one is definitely Noxus while 125 is Zaun.
