In a heartfelt move, Riot Games has announced the addition of a special in-game title titled "Shushei Forever" to honor the memory of former professional player Masé "Shushei" Ratujak, who passed away on April 28. The tribute was discovered in the latest update on the game's test servers, signaling an emotional gesture from the developers toward one of League of Legends' earliest legends.

This unique title will be available to all players who complete a special in-game mission. Both the mission and the title are set to launch alongside patch 25.10 , scheduled for release on May 14.

Shushei rose to fame as a mid-laner for Fnatic during the inaugural League of Legends World Championship in 2011, where he played a pivotal role in securing victory and becoming one of the game’s first world champions. In recognition of this achievement, he was awarded a commemorative skin for the champion Gangplank — a symbol of his contribution to the game's history.

This upcoming tribute serves as a lasting digital memorial, ensuring that future generations of players will remember and recognize Shushei's legacy in the League of Legends community.
