Mercedes-Benz is celebrating legendary esports player Jian Zìháo, known globally as “Uzi,” as he becomes the second inductee into the League of Legends Hall of Legends, following Korean icon “Faker.” This prestigious Hall of Fame recognizes the greatest players in the game’s competitive history.
As a long-standing partner of Riot Games, Mercedes-Benz is marking the occasion with the official ‘Winner Film’ dedicated to Uzi’s legacy. In a grand tribute, the brand has also gifted Uzi a one-of-a-kind, customised G-Class equipped with EQ Technology—symbolizing the fusion of elite performance and electric innovation.
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,” said 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,” said Chris Greeley, Global Head of League of Legends Esports at Riot Games
As the official automotive partner of Riot Games, Mercedes-Benz has been supporting all global League of Legends Esports events since 2020. In addition to the annual “MSI” and “Worlds” tournaments, Mercedes‑Benz has also been supporting the newly founded Hall of Legends, which honours League of Legends Esports icons since 2024.
