It should come as no surprise that the first inductee into League’s Hall of Legends is none other than the Unkillable Demon King, Faker. Thanks to his unparalleled skill and contributions to the wider esports and community, Faker has made history once again by becoming the first player to earn a place in the halls that will soon be filled with legendary League pros.
Riot meticulously oversees the selection process for Hall of Legends induction, with only the most deserving candidates being immortalized in its hallowed halls.
A panel of judges representing regional leagues and esports communities will work closely with key Riot personnel in each competitive region to identify a group of worthy nominees. From this selection, a shortlist of 20 nominees will be presented, alongside Riot’s selection criteria, to 50 global panelists representing each competitive region.
