T1 Worlds 2025 Winner Skins Revealed and Every Easter Egg Confirmed

As well as the six champion skins, there will also be a new “Magical Cat Strategist” ward skin in tribute to Im ‘Tom’ Jae-hyeon.

The ward skin unofficially bears a clear resemblance to Tom from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series as well as coach Tom’s haircut.

The skin also features Dr Mundo on the pages of his notebook in reference to coach Tom telling Oner to first-time Mundo on-stage at Worlds 2025.

This is the fourth T1 ward skin, with another having been made for coach Kim ‘kkOma’ Jeong-gyun.

Tom is still acting as interim head coach for T1 as Kkoma takes a temporary break.

T1 Worlds 2025 Nexus Explosion

There will also be a T1-themed Nexus explosion to customise players’ own victory screens.

As well as T1 visuals, it also captures the atmosphere of esports matches with the sounds of enthusiastic cheers from a crowd.

T1 Worlds 2025 Skins Easter Eggs

As revealed in a report from Naver, the linking idea between these skins is “Ascended Warriors,” embodying a warrior reaching the level of a god after T1’s historic victory.

Riot’s three core principles which led the designs for this skin line were: Legacy, Hierarchy, and Natural Style.

Doran – Ambessa

For his first Worlds skin, Doran asked Riot to give Ambessa a hairstyle reminiscent of a lion’s mane, dark-colored attire, and a strong red glow on her weapon.

Due to the hairstyle, the skin has a unique silhouette compared to base-Ambessa and therefore has new animations.

Doran also asked for Ambessa to be made to look younger, but this request was denied to preserve her identity.

As for references, there a ton during T1 Ambessa’s recall, including a Krug in reference to Doran imfamsouly dying to the jungle camp in the LCK last year.

Ambessa also picks up Doran’s Ring, Doran’s Shield, and Doran’s Blade in-game items in reference to the toplaner’s gamertag.

Oner – Xin Zhao

Oner’s requests were supposedly the simplest as he just wanted a red weapon and a jacket-like cape, as Oner typically wears his T1 uniform.

The recall features a tiger head similar to the necklace/pendant Oner regularly wears.

And the recalls also features a Lee Sin kick, a Poppy hammer, and Pantheon’s shield in tribute to previous victories he has had with the team.

Faker – Galio

Faker finally has a skin for Galio, one of his many signature champions.

To create the skin, Riot had to remove Galio’s existing split-wing and create a new, unique, one-piece wing that resembles the T1 logo.

During Galio’s W, a move that taunts all around him, the Demacian character does Faker’s iconic shh pose.

As for the recall animation, the six stars are obviously in reference to Faker’s six Worlds wins.

The recall also sees the Earth shrink under Faker as he ascends to god status and the VFX was made larger upon the player’s request.

Gumayusi – Yunara

One of the reasons Gumayusi chose Yunara is that the champion’s original designer made her with the pro ADC’s playstyle in mind.

The skin gives Yunara a ‘twin bun’ hairstyle at the player’s request, and T1’s mascot, ‘Arti,’ is inside the weapon spheres.

The recall features a musical sequence made for the skin while Yunara meditates with birds tweeting around her.

Gumayusi had a very difficult 2025 and was benched at one point, but eventually regained his place and won the Worlds MVP award.

The recall tells that story. During the meditation, Yunara faces some internal strife and conflict, but manages to regain composure as a butterfly lands on her.

This is also a reference to when a butterfly flew behind Gumayusi once on stage and was seen as a good luck symbol.

Keria – Seraphine

Keria wanted his Seraphine skin to exude beauty and cuteness, and enhanced the overall quality of her base model by requesting delicate details.

One such tiny detail is that Seraphine’s signature tattoo on her cheek is in a ‘K’ shape inspired by his initial.

The recall animation sees Seraphine performing a show in front of a large LED screen stage while wearing a T1 uniform.

And it pays homage to the 2025 winning moment with multiple faces that match close-up shots of Keria’s expressions during the livestream of T1’s victory.

Gumayusi – Miss Fortune Prestige

The prestige mythic Miss Fortune skin Gumayusi received for earning Worlds MVP has a lot of unique details to it.

The skin has unique animations and will have a new voice-over; the English version is expected to be recorded by Laura Bailey again.

The development team specially created three different versions of her weapons, which represent the three championship-winning years (23, 24, and 25) Gumayusi had on T1. 

Whenever T1 MF ults, she switches to a different set of weapons and features a unique wind-blown hairstyle animation.

Additionally, a Baron doll appears during one animation in reference to Gumayusi’s famous blind Baron steal during Worlds 2022.

The recall animation features an appearance from his beloved dog Doongi and reflects the hardships ‘Gumayusi’ has fought against throughout his career.

During it, he dodges Kalista’s spear like in the 2023 WBG match, dodges Ashe’s arrow in reference to the 2024 BLG match, and shoots down Ziggs’ bomb like in the past KT match.

T1 Miss Fortune then ultimately heroically stands tall and grabs the MVP trophy.
