Same T1 Champions, Different Art: Ambessa and Galio in the Player Bundle
Ahead of the November 13 PT drawing, a closer look at the official T1A 001 Ambessa and T1A 003 Galio renders—and the choice between collecting a player connection and a favourite image.

The player connection stays; the image changes
A commemorative card can hold two kinds of attachment: a favourite player and a favourite picture. Riot’s Player Bundle uses the same five Champions as the Signature Edition, with different art. We focus on Doran’s Ambessa and Faker’s Galio in the official English renders. The interesting collecting question is which image you want beside you, before any comparison of resale prices.
Doran’s Ambessa: T1A 001/005
The render reads Ambessa, The Wolf, T1A 001/005 EN. Crimson fabric and gold weaponry sweep across the image. Riot identifies Ambessa as Doran’s selection. Keep this Player Bundle artwork separate from a T1S Signature Edition card and from ordinary set printings when comparing offers.
Faker’s Galio: T1A 003/005
Galio, Indefatigable carries T1A 003/005 EN. Broad wings and curved gold lines create a different centre of attention from Ambessa. The shared T1 theme connects the pair without making their visual appeal identical. These are English digital renders, not a verification of Korean physical copies.
The drawing has not opened yet
Riot’s October 22 update schedules the online drawing for November 13 at 9 AM PT through November 16 at 9 AM PT. It lists USD 70 plus shipping and handling for the bundle. That is an official bundle price, not a single-card market quote. At our November 2 content check, this drawing remains in the future.
Collecting the image as well as the achievement
A player tribute can make a familiar Champion feel personal. The choice becomes clearer when you separate that connection from how you will enjoy the object. An Ambessa fan may care about the sweeping composition; a Doran supporter may value the association even before comparing illustrations. Someone drawn to Galio can ask whether the Faker connection changes the card’s place in their collection. These are different, equally understandable reasons to keep a card. The new artwork gives each collector another way to remember the same team story. None of that requires the Player Bundle to track the Signature Edition’s resale value. This is our interpretation of the collecting experience, not a price forecast.
