For those who tuned in to watch the MSI 2026 Grand Finals clash between HLE and BLG and were impressed by the skins on display, Riot has some good news. The skins used by the victorious team, Hanwha Life Esports, during the finals are now available for purchase at a 33% discount until July 20th.

The news of the skins being on sale was first brought to light by the popular LoL Leaks and Rumors social account, and our verification confirms its validity.
This marketing strategy by Riot, where the skins used by players in esports events are made available for purchase, has been quite effective. Viewers get exposed to these skins during live matches, sparking interest and driving sales. It’s a smart way for Riot to leverage the excitement of a live event to boost skin sales.
It’s worth noting that not every champion featured in the finals had a skin for sale. For example, Lee Sin used the Legacy Vault skin Heavenscale in Game 1, which was not available for general purchase. In such cases, alternative options like traditional Lee Sin were offered. Ashe’s Legendary High Noon skin, priced at 1850, was also included in the sale.
The sales naturally lean towards HLE’s picks, considering their victory in the series. This raises an interesting point about whether there are financial incentives for players to choose specific champions or skins during major finals, given the direct impact on post-tournament sales. It would be beneficial if winning teams received more financial rewards for their success, especially in the current financial landscape of esports.
If any of these skins catch your eye, remember that the sale ends on July 20th. Keep an eye out in the early evening, as that’s typically when Riot unlocks new content, launches patches, and updates the PBE.
