End of S3 Reward Ward skin

This Victorious Ward skin will be rewarded to summoner's who place in Silver or above before the end of Season 3. See this post for more info on S3 rewards.
This is the shop image for the skin.

While it's not currently available in the PBE shop, here's an in-game shot. Please note the size is likely off and some of the particles may be missing!
( NOTE: Scaling is a bit off for these pictures - I would expect them to be smaller )

Here's a small video but please note this is EXTREMELY incomplete - the size is off and some of the particles & sounds may be missing. Let it serve as nothing more than a early sneak peek.
