Faerman says, “Corbin's Light has deep personal meaning. It was made for one of our players who sadly passed away during her battle with cancer. The Make A Wish Foundation named a star after Corbin, so we decided to honor him by creating a charm inspired by his star and additional design notes from his brother. In some ways it was incredibly easy to design. I am related to Corbin and our love for Astronomy. Working at Riot has been my dream for a long time and it was my Star Guardian fan art for League of Legends that finally brought me here.”

“I wanted to do something that he could be proud of but also represent him. Luckily I had help from our amazing concept artists. We chose blue for the crystal as it's Corbin's favorite colour, and I engraved the coordinates on a Make a Wish star into the frame.”

“I have not been on the VALORANT team for a long time, so I am beyond words grateful to the team that trusted me and supported me in this mission. Most importantly, thank you to Corbin and our players for inspiring. I am incredibly proud of Corbin's Light and will always carry that experience with me.” said.
