Why Chip is definitively going to become a champion further or later
Its his name. He´s just "Chip". Not "Chip the Adventurer", "Chip the Great", "Chip the Pebble" or whatever. You see, thats important because in LoR, having their card name just be the same as their real name is a privililege only granted to Champions. Minor followers usually have a card name that describes them, such as "Crimson Disciple" instead of "Clara", "Spacey Sketcher" instead of "Celeste" etc. and even the more important ones have either a title (like "Cithria the Bold", "Tyari the Traveler", "Scarmother Vrynna") or their full name ("Raz Bloodmane", "Travor Snoozebottom", "Genevieve Elmheart") as their card name. But not Chip. He´s just "Chip", without anything, which, as stated before is nothing that common followers get (pls ignore Yusari btw, thanks). Even though Senna is a Champion in LoL, her follower card had to have a title attached (Senna, Sentinel of Light) because it´s her pre-corrupted version and they are most likely gonna release her as a champion further down the line. By using this logic we can 100% conclude that he is gonna become a champion sooner or later.
Tldr: Only Champions are allowed to have their card name be their real name and only their real name and since his name is just "Chip", he is destined to be a champion.
Also sorry for bad structuring or language mistakes, english isn´t my first language
