STUTTGART/SHANGHAI: League of Legends professional Jian Zìháo, better known as “Uzi”, will be inducted into the Hall of Legends in 2025, becoming its second member alongside Korean superstar Faker. He will also drive home a customised Mercedes-Benz car.
The Hall of Legends, formed in 2024 by Riot Games, recognises the most outstanding esports players in the history of the game.
As the official automotive partner of Riot Games since 2020, Mercedes-Benz will present the official "Winner Film" for Uzi’s induction.
In addition, the marque has honoured Uzi with a customised G 580 electric G-Class featuring EQ technology.
The vehicle, crafted through the Mercedes-Benz Manufaktur programme, showcases exclusive options and craftsmanship.
The hand-made SUV features interior engraving bearing the Hall of Legends lettering and is finished in Manufaktur Kalahari gold magno paint. It is the first electric G-Class of its kind in China.
As part of the tribute, Mercedes-Benz also commissioned an artwork in collaboration with a renowned design studio. The piece depicts Uzi in his hometown of Shanghai beside his bespoke electric G-Class and incorporates subtle Easter eggs referencing key moments from his career.
