Summary:
- LoL Worlds 2025 champions T1’s skin collection will officially include an Ambessa skin after toplaner Doran confirmed his choice.
- Doran played Ambessa three times during Worlds 2025, delivering iconic moments and consistent performances on the champion.
- Other T1 members are still deciding on their championship skins, with some already narrowing down their choices.
League of Legends toplaner Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon has won Worlds just one year after joining LCK powerhouse T1. Now, he’s chosen the champion for his Worlds 2025 skin, marking his place as one of the best toplaners in the game’s history. After holding a fan vote, Ambessa came out on top—a champion Doran played exceptionally well during the tournament. That means we’re getting a Doran Ambessa skin in T1’s exclusive Worlds skin collection.
Fans Helped Decide the Champion
In a recent stream, Doran revealed that Ambessa won the fan poll he posted on social media. He had considered several other champions—like Camille and Gragas—but Ambessa came out on top. Both Doran and his supporters felt this champion fit perfectly as his choice.
To be eligible for a Worlds skin, a player must have used the champion at least once during the tournament. Doran met that requirement easily, as he played Ambessa three times at Worlds 2025. The most memorable was in Game 1 of the finals against KT Rolster, where his perfectly timed ultimates that repeatedly caught the enemy ADC helped lead to T1’s victory.
T1’s Sixth Set of Championship Skins
This Doran Ambessa skin adds to T1’s long history of Worlds-winning skins—their sixth collection so far. From each of T1’s past championships, here are the champions that made it to a Worlds collection:
- Impact (2013) – Jax
- MaRin (2015) – Renekton
- Duke (2016) – Ekko
- Zeus (2023 & 2024) – Jayce and Gnar
Now, it’s Doran’s turn to make his own mark as T1’s toplaner, choosing the champion that fans will remember him by for years to come.
What the Other T1 Players Might Choose
Doran’s reveal is the first among all T1 members. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see which champions the remaining four players will choose. T1’s botlane duo of Ryu “Keria” Min-seok (support) and Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong (ADC) already have narrowed their choices down to a few options.
Keria is also involving fans in his decision, just like Doran did. He’s holding an Instagram poll to choose between Neeko and Lulu. So far, Neeko is leading, thanks to Keria’s impressive plays with her during Worlds. However, his creative Seraphine pick in the finals has also made her a popular suggestion among fans.
Meanwhile, Gumayusi, who was named Finals MVP, gets to pick two champions for his skins this year. He’s currently considering Yunara and Miss Fortune, both of which match his bold, aggressive playstyle. In past championships, his skin choices featured Varus (2024) and Jinx (2023).
Faker and Oner Still Deciding
On the other hand, the team’s jungler Moon “Oner” Hyeon-jun and midlaner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok haven’t revealed their champion choices yet. Fans think Oner might go with Dr. Mundo, since his surprise Mundo game during Worlds became a fan favorite. Despite first-timing the champion in seven years and having to relearn all the skills during Game 5 vs Anyone’s Legend, Oner and T1 managed to win and qualify for the semifinals. He could also pick Xin Zhao, his most-used champion this season.
Faker, meanwhile, has the hardest choice. He played 14 different champions during Worlds, but many fans are hoping he’ll finally pick Galio. This was the champion he played in Game 5 of both this year’s and last year’s Worlds finals, helping T1 secure victory each time. Other possible choices include Mel and Akali, though Faker’s long list of past skins makes the decision even more interesting.
Conclusion
The T1 Worlds 2025 skins will likely be finalized in the coming months. After that, Riot Games will work closely with the players to decide on the theme and design for each skin. Last year’s skins featured red, black, and silver colors with a knight and kingdom theme, symbolizing T1’s legendary defense of their crown. Now, after their historic three-peat, it’s almost certain that the Doran Ambessa skin will be part of another standout collection, remembering one of the greatest winning streaks in League of Legends history.
