Tiffany & Co. is upping its trophy game. The jeweler announced on Thursday that it will create the League of Legends World Championship trophy and has entered into a multi-year partnership with championship owner LoL Esports.
As part of this partnership, Tiffany is redesigning the League of Legends Summoner Cup.
The new design will be released on August 29. So far, Tiffany has only revealed the trophy's specs: it will weigh 44 pounds and stand 27 inches tall. The cup, like other Tiffany trophies, including those produced for this month's US Open, was crafted by artisans at the jeweler's hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The League of Legends trophy required more than 277 hours of work.
Tiffany has created esports trophies before, including the League of Legends pro league Silver Dragon Cup.
"The creation of the Summoner's Cup is another significant moment for Tiffany in the world of esports and an exciting new chapter in our 160-year legacy of handcrafting sports trophies," said Alexandre Arnault, vice-president Tiffany's Executive Chairman for Products and Communications.
Naz Aletaha, Global Head of League of Legends esports for Riot Games, said of the partnership, “The Summoner's Cup is a symbol of greatness in esports and the crowning glory of League of Legends. represent the best of our sport - their mastery is forever part of LoL Esports history.
“As we sought to capitalize on the prestige of winning a World Championship, there was only one partner with whom we aspired to collaborate on the Summoner's Cup. Tiffany & Co. is a legendary brand and the ultimate designer of the world's greatest sporting trophies. We are honored to partner with them in celebrating our past, present and future world champions."
The League of Legends World Championship is scheduled for November 5 in San Francisco.
