Riot Games has entered into a partnership agreement with the jeweller Tiffany & Co. The deal will see the jeweller being tapped to create the official trophies for the League of Legends World Championship for the next few years.
This partnership is being kicked off later this year for the upcoming Worlds, where the first re-designed Summoner's Cup trophy will be available to be won. As for when we'll see what this trophy will look like, it will be unveiled on August 29 at 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST.
"The Summoner's Cup is a symbol of greatness in esports and the crowning achievement in League of Legends," said Naz Aletaha, global head of League of Legends esports for Riot Games. "The teams who hoist it represent the best of our sport -- their mastery forever a part of LoL Esports' history. As we looked to build on the prestigiousness of winning a World Championship, there was only one partner we aspired to collaborate with on the Summoner's Cup. Tiffany & Co is a storied brand and the preeminent designer of the world's greatest sports trophies. We're honored to partner with them to celebrate our past, present, and future World Champions."
As part of an announcement press release, we're given a few extra bits of information about the new trophy, which will stand 27 inches tall, weigh 44 pounds, and has been created in house by Tiffany & Co. over 277 total hours.
As for when Worlds 2022 will be held, it will take place between September 29 and November 5, across various venues around the US and Mexico.
