Commentator Hoàng Luân Reveals the Surprising “Hall of Legends” Selection
As previously reported, Riot has officially announced that Uzi will be the second player to join the Hall of Legends, alongside receiving two skins for the champions Kai’Sa and Vayne. This decision has sparked a lot of speculation since last year, especially after Faker was honored in the same way. However, there have been many debates, particularly regarding Uzi’s failure to secure a World Championship title. Recently, Commentator Hoàng Luân also revealed a story: “Everything may have been predetermined.”
Furthermore, according to Commentator Hoàng Luân, he has received information that during the selection of players for this honor (up to 3 candidates), none of them had ever won the World Championship. Meanwhile, the player in question is considered to be in a category that has not been included in Riot’s shortlist.
This situation indicates that Riot has its own criteria and the limited shortlist was made to ensure that the selections are the most appropriate. This makes sense, especially following Faker’s recognition in 2024, as Uzi’s name has emerged frequently. Even during his streams, many viewers speculated that Uzi would “surpass” Faker. The LPL community has also started building the image of Uzi as “the Faker of the younger generation.”
And surely, future Hall of Legends selections will continue to stir controversy
In fact, apart from Faker, anyone can predict that the upcoming selections will also cause disputes. However, these selections will undoubtedly carry emotional weight, especially in League of Legends – a game that has been around for almost 13 to 14 years. Even in more established sports, controversies persist, and the Hall of Legends in League of Legends is no exception. This is why Riot has been under pressure, as the Hall of Legends draws significant attention just like the game’s competitive scene.
