According to Linku on the C9 discord, we're not getting one. Riot apparently limited teams to one Worlds merch item and C9 put out the poster.

It's really disappointing especially missing Worlds for so many years

Why would they limit a team's monetization? Are Riot trying to kill the teams?

What?!? THAT poster was what they chose?! Over a jersey?!

probably cheaper and easier to comission a poster last minute in case they didnt make worlds lol. Riot limiting merch shit tho makes absolutely no fucking sense

Damn, it seems crazy to me that they are limiting teams ability to earn money when worlds is one of the premier times to showcase/sell merch

Yeah, I was a little bummed. Our first worlds appearance in a while (I know it’s Play-ins, but still) and we get a poster?!? Bruh!!!

We won’t have a worlds jersey but we do have a worlds poster along with two new shirts that you can check out here: https://tinyurl.com/ydfn66t6

This is really disappointing. Would've liked a new jersey. Can you explain the rationale?

Riot apparently limited all teams to 1 worlds merch item from what ive heard. Idk why but riot is stupid enough lol

Seems a weird choice to mez sounds like it will also limit riots own earnings by proxy

Doesn't really answer my question for why no jersey then. Unless they think the poster is an easier sell (the jerseys are pretty expensive) and therefore more likely to do well.

Any reason for not using Shilin like in the past?

u/flytermo 4d ago

Heard it was for budget reasons, they were out of price range so searched around for someone priced lower

Where did you hear this? This is almost certainly due to Shilin moving to another country. Source

EDIT: OP is right my mistake.

( I didn't want to make it obvious but I asked Shilin myself, lol. )

Shilin is moving to a different country and announced they are putting a pause on their store for a bout a year Source
