The T1 Signature Edition emails for the Riftbound x T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition have been sent out, moving the highly limited collector release into its purchase stage.
Riot previously announced that winner emails would begin on August 20, with selected entrants receiving 24 hours to complete their purchase. Anyone who entered the drawing should now be checking the email address connected to their Riot account, including spam or filtered folders.
T1 Signature Edition emails are now being sent
The drawing for the T1 Signature Edition opened on August 14 and closed on August 17. Riot's published schedule set August 20 as the start of the winner email process.
Receiving a selection email does not automatically complete the purchase. Winners have 24 hours from the time their email is sent to purchase the bundle for $360 USD, plus shipping and handling. If a selected entrant does not complete the transaction within the window, their spot can be forfeited.
Riot's announcement said the raffle winner emails would begin at approximately 9 a.m. Pacific Time, or noon Eastern Time, on August 20, with winners receiving a 24-hour purchase window.
What is in the T1 Signature Edition?
The T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition commemorates T1's 2025 Worlds championship and features five Champion unit cards selected by members of the championship roster. Each card has new artwork and a special card frame.
| Player | Champion card |
|---|---|
| Doran | Ambessa, The Wolf |
| Faker | Galio, Indefatigable |
| Gumayusi | Miss Fortune, Buccaneer |
| Keria | Seraphine, Not Alone |
| Oner | Xin Zhao, Vigilant |
Each bundle includes one randomly selected serialized card numbered from 1 to 2025. The card also features a gold-stamped signature from one of the five T1 players, with the signatures represented at a 1-in-5 ratio per player.
Only 10,125 copies of the English version have been produced, adding another layer of scarcity to the release.
One of the five cards, Seraphine, Not Alone, comes from the upcoming Radiance set. It will not be legal for competitive play until that set is released.
Faker showcases the T1 Signature Edition
Faker has also appeared in an unboxing of the T1 Signature Edition, showing the premium presentation and the collectible cards included in the set.
The unboxing highlights the acrylic card display, limited serial numbering and player signatures. Faker also discusses his Galio card and the moment from T1's Worlds run that inspired his choice.
What happens after the T1 Signature Edition emails?
Selected entrants need to complete their purchase before their 24-hour window expires. The product is not secured simply by being selected in the drawing.
Riot has indicated that additional selection waves may be needed if some winners do not purchase their bundles. That means entrants who did not receive an email in the first wave may still have reason to monitor their inbox for further updates.
The official Riftbound social account has provided updates around the drawing and selection process as the limited release moves forward.
T1 Signature Edition bundles are already appearing above retail
The limited supply is already attracting attention on the secondary market, with T1 Signature Edition bundles appearing in listings at prices well above the official $360 purchase price. Those listings show the level of demand surrounding the release, although asking prices should not be treated as confirmed sale prices.
The situation has also prompted criticism of potential scalping, particularly because the official drawing was designed to give entrants an opportunity to purchase the limited release at its set price rather than guaranteeing access to everyone who entered.
There may still be another chance to get the T1 Signature Edition
Missing out on the first wave of T1 Signature Edition emails does not necessarily mean the opportunity is over. Every selected entrant has 24 hours to complete the purchase, and any allocation that goes unclaimed can potentially be offered to another entrant.
That gives unsuccessful entrants a reason to keep monitoring the email address linked to their Riot account. If enough selected winners allow their purchase windows to expire, Riot may need to run additional selection waves to distribute the remaining bundles.
The possibility of another chance is especially relevant as interest in the release grows. T1 Signature Edition bundles are already appearing on secondary-market platforms at prices significantly above the official $360 retail price. Those listings indicate strong demand, although advertised prices do not confirm that the bundles have actually sold for those amounts.
The secondary-market activity has also led to criticism of potential scalping. For entrants still waiting on a selection, though, the official process remains the better opportunity: a forfeited allocation could put another bundle back into circulation through Riot rather than forcing buyers to pay a premium on the secondary market.
Riftbound players react to the T1 drawing
The drawing has generated plenty of discussion within the Riftbound community, particularly among entrants who were not selected in the initial process.
The Reddit discussion reflects the disappointment among unsuccessful entrants, while the possibility of later selection waves remains an important point for anyone who entered the drawing but has not received an email.
When does the T1 Signature Edition ship?
The current email wave is only the purchase stage. Riot's schedule lists September 2, 2026 as the start of shipping for completed orders.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| August 14, 2026 | Drawing opened |
| August 17, 2026 | Drawing closed |
| August 20, 2026 | Winner emails begin |
| August 24, 2026 | Potential additional selection wave |
| August 27, 2026 | Potential additional selection wave |
| September 2, 2026 | Shipping begins |
Riot has also said that additional protective packaging is being used for these orders because the serialized cards are unique and cannot simply be replaced with an identical copy.
