Riftbound T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition: How UK Collectors Can Enter This Weekend's Drawing

This is arguably the most significant collector-grade Riftbound product ever released. The Riftbound T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition is a limited premium collection commemorating T1's 2025 League of Legends World Championship victory - their sixth title, sealing their status as the most successful League esports team in history. It contains the first-ever serialised cards in Riftbound history, and only 10,125 copies of the English version will exist worldwide.

Getting one requires entering a drawing on the Riot Merch store. Registration opens Friday 14 August at 5pm UK time and closes Tuesday 19 August at 2am UK time (6pm Pacific Monday 18 August). If selected, you get the chance to buy the box for **** (roughly £280 before UK shipping and customs).

If you have any interest in Riftbound, T1, or esports memorabilia at all, this is the drawing to enter. Here is everything UK collectors need to know before Friday.

What Is the T1 Worlds Champion Signature Edition?

T1 won the 2025 League of Legends World Championship - their sixth Worlds title, the most of any team in League history. The Signature Edition is the commemorative collector-grade product marking that victory.

Key details:

· Only 10,125 copies of the English version will be produced (same limits for Chinese and Korean versions)

· Each box includes one serialised card numbered from 1 to 2025 - commemorating the year of T1's sixth Worlds win

· These are the first serialised cards in Riftbound's entire history - a genuinely landmark collector product

· Price if selected: USD (approximately £280 GBP before shipping and customs)

· Available exclusively via the drawing on the Riot Merch store for the English version

For context on the significance: 10,125 English copies globally, split across every collector who enters the drawing. This is not a wide-release product. Winners will represent a small fraction of everyone who registers.

The Five Cards - Each Chosen Personally by a T1 Player

One of the details that makes this collection genuinely special: each of the five cards features a champion personally selected by the T1 player it represents. Not chosen by Riot, not chosen by marketing - chosen by the player themselves.

· Doran (top laner) - Ambessa

· Oner (jungler) - Xin Zhao

· Faker (mid laner) - Galio

· Gumayusi (ADC/bot laner) - Miss Fortune

· Keria (support) - Seraphine

The Faker Galio card is the headline chase. Faker is arguably the most iconic player in the history of esports, full stop. Anything carrying his name and a signature-edition treatment will command significant secondary market attention. Combined with the serialisation - a low-serial-number Faker Galio (particularly #1 through #100 in the 1-2025 range) is likely to be one of the most sought-after Riftbound collector items ever produced.

How the English Drawing Works

The Signature Edition is not sold on a first-come-first-served basis. It is allocated by lottery drawing through the Riot Merch store.

The exact timeline:

· Registration opens: 9am Pacific / 5pm UK time on Friday 14 August 2026

· Registration closes: 6pm Pacific Monday 17 August / 2am UK time on Tuesday 19 August

· Selection emails sent: from 20 August 2026 onwards

· Purchase window: if selected, you receive an email with instructions to complete the purchase within a limited window

Entering the drawing is free. You only pay if you are selected and choose to complete the purchase. There is no downside to entering - the worst outcome is you do not get selected.

How UK Collectors Should Prepare

The window is short (roughly three days) and the drawing is likely to see very high traffic. Preparation matters.

Before Friday:

· Create or log into your Riot Merch account (merch.riotgames.com) - do this now, not on Friday when servers may be under load

· Confirm your delivery address is set correctly for UK shipping

· Add a valid payment method to your account for fast checkout if selected

· Set a calendar reminder for 5pm UK time on Friday 14 August

When the drawing opens (Friday 5pm UK):

· Visit the Riot Merch store product page as soon as possible after 5pm

· Enter the drawing following the on-screen registration prompts

· There is no strategic benefit to entering at 5pm versus later - all entries during the window have equal chance

After the drawing closes:

· Watch your inbox from 20 August for the selection email

· Selection emails have a limited purchase window - complete the transaction promptly

· Expect the box to arrive within a few weeks of purchase confirmation

Why This Is a Significant Collector Moment

Three reasons UK Riftbound collectors should take this seriously, even if you have never bought a limited-edition drop before.

1. First serialised cards in Riftbound history. The numbering (1-2025) is permanent, unique per copy, and printed on the card itself. Serialised cards in any TCG carry a collector premium because they are individually identifiable. The lowest serial numbers - particularly #1 - will command the highest secondary premiums almost regardless of card content.

2. The Faker connection. Faker is one of the very small number of esports players whose name carries mainstream sports-collectible weight. His Galio card in this set - selected by him personally - is the closest Riftbound has come to a genuine sports-memorabilia crossover product. Historical parallels exist in signed baseball cards, NBA rookie cards, and other player-specific collector pieces.

3. The scarcity is real. 10,125 English copies is a tiny production run. Secondary market pricing for this product is almost certain to trade meaningfully above the entry price, particularly for low-serial-number copies and for the highest-demand player cards (Faker Galio primarily).

What to Expect on the Secondary Market

For collectors who do not get selected in the drawing, secondary market copies will emerge within days of shipping. Expected dynamics:

· Baseline secondary market price: likely - (£390-£625) per complete box - roughly 1.5-2x the drawing price

· Low-serial-number premiums: #1-#100 copies could command significantly higher prices, potentially into four figures

· Individual cards: the Faker Galio card will be the most-traded single. Expect a strong solo market for it, particularly graded PSA/ACE copies

· PSA 10 graded copies: likely 6-12 months out before graded values fully establish. Early PSA 10 pricing on the Faker Galio card is a category to watch closely

Honest caveat: these secondary estimates are early forecasts. Actual prices will depend on how many drawing winners choose to sell versus hold, and on broader Riftbound collector demand over the next 6-12 months.

What UK Collectors Should Do

Straightforward positioning:

Enter the drawing. It is free. The worst outcome is you do not get selected.

Decide in advance whether you'd actually complete the purchase at . Selection emails have short response windows. If you enter without a clear yes/no in your head about spending (plus UK shipping/customs), you may find yourself hesitating at exactly the wrong moment.

Budget for UK import costs. Riot Merch ships from the US and UK deliveries typically attract VAT and customs handling charges. Plan for an additional 20-25% on top of the base price when calculating your true cost.

If you do not get selected: wait 4-6 weeks before considering secondary market purchases. Early secondary market prices are almost always at their peak. Waiting for the initial resale wave to settle typically yields better pricing.

The Honest Risks

Two points worth acknowledging before you enter.

1. You probably will not be selected. 10,125 copies globally, split across every collector who registers, means most entries will not win. Enter with an understanding that not getting selected is the most likely outcome.

2. Collectible investment is not guaranteed. Even landmark serialised products have periods of price decline. The upside potential is real but the assumption should be a multi-year hold, not a quick flip. If you buy expecting to double your money in 6 months, you may be disappointed.

Our Verdict

· The T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition is the most significant collector-grade Riftbound product to date

· First serialised cards in Riftbound history (numbered 1-2025) - genuine landmark drop

· 5 cards, each chosen personally by a T1 player - Faker's Galio is the headline chase

· 10,125 English copies globally - real scarcity

· Drawing registration: Friday 14 August 5pm UK to Tuesday 19 August 2am UK

· Price if selected: (~£280 before UK shipping and customs)

· Prepare your Riot Merch account, delivery address, and payment method BEFORE Friday

· Free to enter, no downside - most likely outcome is not being selected

· Secondary market copies likely -£800+ for standard serials, significantly higher for #1-#100
