So I've been watching online streams with SKT interviews and I've heard that the following are the new 2017 SKT skins so far (but don't quote me on these since I am not sure if these are correct) Duke: SKT Ekko (Confirmed) Blank: SKT Zac (Confirmed) Faker: SKT Syndra (Confirmed) Bengi: SKT Olaf (Confirmed) Bang: SKT Jhin (Confirmed) Wolf: SKT Nami (Confirmed)

I'll post a source as soon as I find it

Edit: Here's the source - http://sports.media.daum.net/sports/esports/newsview?newsId=20161031104524183 Since it is in Korean, I'll translate an excerpt from it "During the discussion with Coaching Staff, the members of SKT have mentioned the champions that they want skins for. Faker wants either SKT Ahri or Syndra, Duke wants Gnar or Ekko, 2 Junglers have not yet decided, Bang has chosen Jhin, and Wolf has chosen Nami," (Daily eSports)

Edit (12/6/2016): SKT Ekko has been confirmed - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVyfHbh-Iz4 (38:42 - Duke: "...at the end I chose Ekko but I don't know if they will make it or not")

Edit (3/21/2017): Okay some people are getting confused. These picks are for Season 6 Worlds. I just said 2017 because that's the year (THIS YEAR!!! :D) the skins are being released in.

Edit (4/17/2017): This is a month old, and I forgot to update this when this vid came out. But, Bang confirmed his pick 'Jhin' himself in his stream. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5guqoIkTsg Additionally, the proof video of SKT Interview I attached few months back also had Wolf revealing his pick to be Nami, confirming the rumors. Furthermore, Bang in the video attached to this edit again says the same.

Edit: 6/9/2017 - A new thread dealing with the brand new spoilers of the skins are now posted: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/fOLtrbLY-2017-skt-skins-spoiler

SKT Syndra and SKT Olaf has been confirmed officially, as well as other skins for the second time. Video uploaded on LoL NA YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/leagueoflegends

Hell yeah! Nami worlds skin! And then I cringe because I remember that I hate SKT's color scheme...

If you are playing Nami, you can search 'hat' in the shop search bar to get item 1001 to show up

Well, that's not up to you. That will be Faker's choice.

Faker has no choice, he must choose urgot.

In the interest of managing expectations, that is not true, they _ are_ restricted to champions the team played during worlds.

Yadid2 votes

RIP SKT Galio.

Mysticman892 votes

Is the limitation to things the team played, or the specific player played? e.g. could faker pick olaf?

(He's done olaf mid before, albeit not at this worlds, but skt certainly played olaf somewhat.)

And while we're at it, does it have to be something new, or could faker get a second ryze skin if he felt so inclined?

Who is Taliyah5 votes

Let me play for SKT this year so Taliyah will get a new skin.

Last time a riot member said that they could pick whichever champion they want because it's celebrating their championship... So... Who should I believe? XD You or that riot member

Yes. Blank made a significant contribution towards SKT's success at Worlds.

Kinjishi1 votes

Kindlejack, Will Riot ever make a coach skin (as kkoma has been a huge factor in SKT winning their games)? If not a skin, could the coaches at least get a character in the splash? (i.e. Coach Teemo, but no skin)

Thank you for reading

RiotKindlejack7 votes

There are no plans to ever do coach skins, but we do plan to acknowledge his huge contribution to the eSport.

But if we don't give Kkoma a Teemo skin now, Teemo may never get a Worlds skin. :( lol

Never say never friend!

Spideraxe1 votes

Do you think you guys are going to bump up the number permanently from 5 to 6 if the teams put in their sub more and they have a big impact

RiotKindlejack4 votes

Right now I feel like every year is going to be different, based on the tournament and what the players want etc. After last year I think we realised there's not going to be a standard for worlds skins.

Spideraxe1 votes

And can I ask about quality of the skins like will they all be 975 or similar tier again or was that a one time thing to appease the initial backlash of first 2nd set of SKT skins

RiotKindlejack8 votes

We knew last year that the change needed to be an ongoing commitment. We'll continue to try new things with world championship skins but this year's won't be 750s.

Spideraxe4 votes

Thanks for the answers

kupi55012 votes

what happens if a world champion wants a skin for a same champion as a former world winner?

for example if Faker wants an Orianna skin? (and we of course already have TPA Orianna)

T8 Speedwagon3 votes

This is bs. No skt t1 urgot then? PRAISE THE URGOD

Not until his rework :o

If in doubt: rework Ryze. That's the answer always.

ILoveTakoYakii1 votes

Does it mean that Faker can only get a champion skin he played during last world championship like Syndra, Victor, or Cass? Sorry i just want to make sure :D.

RiotKindlejack3 votes

Correct!

Nanamî2 votes

Is this a new restriction for this year? Because otherwise why did MaRin get Renekton? Nobody played that champion at worlds 2015 lol

The Letter H5 votes

I heard faker thinking about Ahri , as he really likes the champion but couldn't get a SKT skin on her the past two wins because she was already getting a skin. (Popstar then arcade)

Cheshire Kittin2 votes

That doesn't affect getting a skin for winning worlds

Lachrimae1 votes

it does. cuz of that restriction we got skt renekton instead of gnar

Eurostep1 votes

I am pretty sure MaRin mentioned he wanted Renekton in an interview. He said something along the lines of other champs ahving nice skins already, so he wanted Renekton (whom he was known for in the past) to get the skin.

Loughlin2 votes

they have already made SKT T1 Renekton...
