Many players buy the worlds skin each year in the hopes of supporting their favorite players, or just because they usually look really awesome.

LoL: How Does The Worlds Skin Revenue Work?

The X/Twitter user Kevin Kim has shared some information about this topic.

25 % of the revenue earned on skin sales in the launch year of each set of team championship skins goes to the players who inspired them. Furthermore, the money goes to the whole team and the whole league as well.

Riot has started doing this in 2017 but also paid the teams who have won Season 6. There is no information about how much money players earn after that initial release year is over, but we assume its 0.

Kevin Kim bases his information on a Riot Games post from 7 years ago that should still be accurate. It talks about LoL Esports as a whole and the future of it. It gives valuable insight about how Riot has planned to shape the esport in the past.

Recently T1 won the worlds championship and only some of their players have confirmed their chosen skin. What would you like to see?
