T1’s Doran Chooses Ambessa for Worlds 2025 Championship Skin

Fresh off T1’s victorious Worlds run, top laner Doran has chosen Ambessa as his pick for the 2025 World Championship skin line, celebrating his unrivalled dominance on the aggressive fighter throughout the season.

Doran’s pick highlights some of his best plays and those key engagements he made in game 1 of the grand finals, which helped snowball the game toward the T1 side. From simply way too much high mobility nonsense to the jaw dropping bave plays, Ambessa was Doran incarnate.

How those colours will be expressed is still a mystery, with no official visuals from Riot (though leaks from his former teammates’ streams suggest black and gold or black and white schemes, replacing Ambessa’s fiery red with T1’s signature pizzazz).

Fans are speculating about what they’d like to see most a sassy little Krugs Easter egg in her recall or in her death animation is the frontrunner. It’s a reference to Doran’s hilarious mid clear performance earlier this year, which generated countless memes and a push for more humour from Riot.

Spotlight on Ambessa

At just a year old by release, Ambessa could snag Worlds skin status faster than most, thanks to her pro scene staple status, high agency, flashy engages, and now T1 branded effects to amp up the aggression.
