Riot Games has already started the process of inducting a second League of Legends pro into the Hall of Legends, with voting to begin soon.
Although the celebrations for Faker’s admission have yet to officially begin, the process of selecting the industry professionals who will serve on the next League jury panel is already beginning. “We are selecting our next 50 panelists for the 2024 Hall of Legends voting process as we speak,” Riot Games said, adding that the formal voting process would start “soon.” These panelists will be the ultimate committee that selects the Hall of Legends entrants after regional experts nominate 20 players for them to choose from.
However, this statement does not necessarily suggest that Riot already has a list of finalists. Rather, it confirms Riot has initiated the process of selecting the panel that will ultimately decide on the next inductee—a decision that has already sparked conversations across the League esports community.
While Faker being the first inductee didn’t come as a surprise, the second pro to walk into the Hall of Legends might not be so easily picked, with fans all having a favorite name to put forward. Faker was chosen for his unrivaled achievements and influence. He was inducted since he fit the criteria for the honorable achievement to a tee.
As the community prepares to commemorate Faker’s induction with a unique in-game event, rumors about the next inductee are already circulating. Names are being discussed across social media, but the official announcement likely won’t come until a year from now as Riot plans to induct one player into the Hall of Legends each year. The third inductee will be unveiled in 2026.
This annual process guarantees that the Hall of Legends continues to commemorate League pros’ remarkable contributions to the esports sector, preserving legacies and motivating future generations of fans, as well as emerging talent.
