Winning the Worlds is a dream come true for any professional League of Legends player. One of the main incentives of winning is being immortalised forever in the form of custom skin.
The tradition began in 2012 as a reward for TPA's feat of winning the title against all odds and then Riot Games decided to pay tribute to Fnatic, recognising the team as the first Worlds champion — more than three years after winning the title.
Today there are countless skins immortalising the Worlds winners over the years.
Fnatic - Worlds 2011
The League of Legends Worlds began in Sweden in 2011. Fnatic dressed as champion in a championship in which there were hardly any Asian teams and in which the Europeans laid the first stone of their dominance against North America . The champions awarded with a skin were the following:

TPA - Worlds 2012
