Check out our 5.18 PBE megathread for more on this upcoming skin.

World Championship Emblems

A set of World Championship "emblems" have been added in today's update. There is one for each of the 12 currently qualified teams and a few extras. These will display in-game on a fancy plaque with the team logo on it.

While they are not accessible in-game yet and no details are available, they seem to be tied to the new world championship summoner icons.

Here's a few examples to hold you over until they are enabled:
