Besides all the fun champions, constant updates, and making the game easy to learn with a brand new gaming client, gamers sure do love their skins. It’s basically what makes League of Legends stand out from the rest since developers have amazing skins that are either comical, holiday-inspired, or just flat out rock.
Ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to come barreling down against opponents as Grim Reaper Karthus in mid lane? How great would it be to heal as Arcade Sona to enjoy her retro gaming look? Needless to say, it’s not surprising that the MSI 2017 prize pool is as high as it is and continues to grow thanks to an exclusive skin directly created for the tournament.
Overall, expect to see it possibly hit $3M USD or even higher by the time the finale arrives. It’s great to see just how engaged the community is as they appreciate and embrace the Esports scene in League of Legends tremendously.
