League of Legends pro Jian Zìháo, rather known as “Uzi”, will be inducted as a new member of the Hall of Legends in 2025. With that, Uzi becomes the second member of the Hall of Legends, next to Korean superstar “Faker”. The Hall of Fame honours the best League of Legends esports players of all time. As a partner of Riot Games, Mercedes‑Benz is presenting the official ‘Winner Film’. Additionally, Mercedes‑Benz is showing great respect to Uzi by honouring him with a very special vehicle – a customised G‑Class with EQ Technology.
Celebrating his induction into the Hall of Legends, Uzi becomes the new owner of a one-of-a-kind G 580 with EQ Technology. Crafted through the Mercedes‑Benz customisation programme MANUFAKTUR, which enables customers a variety of exclusive options, the vehicle showcases exceptional craftsmanship and individuality. Hand-finished to the highest standards, it includes interior details such as the engraved Hall of Legends lettering. With the special paint finish MANUFAKTUR Kalahari gold magno, which embodies the style of the Hall of Legends, the electric G-Class is the first of its kind in China.
“Legends are not only recognised by their achievements, but also by the impact they leave behind. It is therefore an honour to celebrate Uzi’s induction into the Hall of Legends with a very special vehicle, which shall be a steady companion as he moves forward on his individual path.”
Bettina Fetzer, Vice President Mercedes-Benz Digital & Communication, Mercedes-Benz AG
On top of that, Mercedes‑Benz crafted a very special artwork for Uzi: created in collaboration with a renowned design studio, the piece shows Uzi in his hometown of Shanghai next to his new electric G‑Class. True experts can even identify subtle hints about Uzi’s career and life embedded as Easter eggs.
“With the Hall of Legends, we are celebrating exceptional careers, successes in the game, contributions to the community and also individual achievements. We are proud that Mercedes‑Benz is joining us in honouring Uzi in a very individual way – the vehicle and the artwork are characterised by attention to detail and a deep understanding of our culture.”
