Riot Games runs all LoL tournaments officially in-house. With their fully franchised event system, this gives them excellent quality control over all aspects of their esports. From their lower tier regional leagues all the way to their headline events, Riot Games are heavily invested in esports. In the industry as a whole, they have led the way with their model of esports. 

While there have been many mistakes along the way, Riot Games have done a phenomenal job at cementing themselves as industry leaders. They use their tournaments as a marketing platform for their game which inspires the player base. Some of the highest earnings esports professionals, such as Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, are in League of Legends. We talk more about individual players in our LoL News section.

What are the biggest LoL tournaments?

There are a large number of different leagues for League of Legends which eventually culminate in the World Championships (Worlds). League of Legends is the largest market for betting companies in the world. The longer league structure used by Riot Games proves popular, having regular competitions and matches taking place. 

See below some information on the different League of Legends tournaments that happen globally.

  • Worlds – World Championship, at the end of each calendar year where the top teams of each region fight for one of the most prestigious accolades in all of esports.
  • LEC – League of Legends EMEA Championships, primarily a high tier tournament for European teams.
  • LCS – League of Legends Championship Series, this is where the North American teams participate.
  • LJL – League of Legends Japan League, the leading league in Japan.
  • LPL – League of Legends Pro League, this is where the top level teams from China participate. Many titans fight here in such a major region for the game.
  • LCK – League of Legends Champions Korea, arguably the most high level regional competition in the game with many World champions deriving from this region.
  • CBLOL – Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends, the top Brazilian league.
  • MSI – Mid-Season Invitational, a culmination of the Spring Split.

While there are many other events in League of Legends, these are some of the most notable. Historically the Asian region has dominated at the game.

What are the best LoL events to bet on?

Like with other games, you should focus on the teams and regions that you are most familiar with. It can be difficult to follow competitions that are in different time zones. So the best advice is to follow your regional competitions and make sure you are confident with the different betting markets available to you. Of course, when we get to the right time of year you will definitely want to pay attention to the League of Legends World Championships.

Make sure you learn about the players, the teams and where their strengths and weaknesses lay. You will find that teams perform differently depending on their environment and also on their opponents. It can be difficult to categorically define favourites unless you examine previous result
