League of Legends to announce 2025 Hall of Legends inductee in May

League of Legends has officially announced that it will be revealing a new Hall of Legends player in May.

This marks the second time a pro player will be inducted into the Hall of Legends, following Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, who became the first inductee in 2024.

The announcement was made at the end of Riot Games’ League of Legends Season 2 dev update.

“In May, we’ll be celebrating another pro who has made his mark on League. This player will join the Hall of Legends. He has inspired the next generation of upcoming players, and we can’t wait to give him the recognition he deserves,” said Andrei van Roon, Head of League Studio at Riot Games.

The Hall of Legends is a yearly initiative which was launched by Riot Games in collaboration with car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz last year to honour the achievements of legendary pro players. 

To commemorate Faker’s induction last year, the publisher launched a special event pass that took fans on a journey through some of his most iconic moments.

Along with this, Riot also released a range of cosmetics themed around Faker, including a premium Ahri skin. As part of the celebration, Faker was gifted a custom Mercedes-AMG SL 63 and a part of the revenue collected from in-game content was also shared with him.

Fans can expect similar activations in 2025 as well; however, Riot is yet to announce the full details. Like last year, the Hall of Legends inductee will be selected through a voting process involving a panel of judges from regional leagues and esports communities.

The selection is done based on criteria, including international and regional titles, contributions to the scene, and more.

Moreover, Riot Games has also announced a new gamemode, Brawl, coming to League of Legends Season 2, along with a new champion, Yunara, who is set to debut in Act 2.
