League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game from Riot Games. Released in 2009, it’s one of the most-played video games in the world and now has one of the biggest and most organised Esports ecosystems.

The game's objective is for players to defend their own Nexus (base) while destroying that of their opponents. Five players on each side control a “Champion” with five distinct roles in each team.

There are several ways to play League of Legends, but competitive tournaments all use the same format: Destroy the Base.

Players can fight other Champions from the opposition team, but before they can reach the enemy Nexus, they must traverse several pathways called Lanes. Each of these is lined with turrets, which must be destroyed en route to the opposition base.

This popular MOBA game requires teamwork, strategy, and coordination. With so much going on, there are dozens of exciting LoL betting opportunities per match.

League of Legends is played by hundreds of millions of people across the globe, and at Parimatch, you can bet on a massive range of LoL competitions.

International Tournaments (Majors)

LoL has three international tournaments, contested annually. At the top of the tree is the League of Legends World Championship (The Worlds), which is held every October. This prestigious event is one of the largest Esports competitions in the world, with an annual prize pool of $2,225,000.

However, the first major of the year, established in 2025 for five of the top teams in the LoL ecosystem, is the First Stand Tournament. It is held at the conclusion of the first of the three splits in the annual LoL calendar, and Korea’s Hanwha Life Esports won it in its first year.

The other major international LoL event is the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), held between Spring and Summer. It features the highest-ranked teams from each regional league.

Regional Leagues

Below the Worlds, there are several top-tier regional leagues and competitions. There are five ‘Tier 1 Leagues’ in the LoL ecosystem as follows:

• League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK)
• League of Legends Pro League China (LPL)
• League of Legends EMEA Championship (EMEA)
• League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA)
• League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP)

At the time of writing, there are also at least 34 other regional leagues, ranked as Tier 2 and 3 divisions, highlighting just how big the League of Legends professional Esports scene is.

Riot Games compiles the Global Power Rankings annually, which is a handy way of tracking the top-rated League of Legends teams throughout the season, given the many regional leagues.

Teams accumulate ranking points and prize money based on their performances in regional leagues and international events like the First Stand, MSI and Worlds. At the time of writing, below are the top ten ranked Riot LoL teams that you can bet on:

• Gen.G Esports (LCK)
• Hanwha Life Esports (LCK)
• BILBILI GAMING DREAMSMART (LCK)
• T1 (LCK)
• Anyone’s Legend (LPL)
• TOPESPORTS (LPL)
• FlyQuest (LTA North)
• Kt Rolster (LCK)
• G2 Esports (LEC)
• Dplus KIA (LCK)

South Korean professional Esports team, T1, is the most successful League of Legends team in history, having won the World Championships five times since the tournament’s launch in 2011.

T1’s 2024 triumph in London was their second consecutive win, following their final victory over Weibo Gaming in 2023 on home soil. To this day, T1 remains the only team to have won the LoL Worlds more than once.
