PromotionsLeague of Legends (LoL) is one of the most popular esports games in the world, attracting millions of players and viewers. Besides the pure entertainment factor, LoL is also a “promised land” for those who love to predict, analyze, and bet on Esports. The following article by PHDREAM provides you with a comprehensive view of betting on League of Legends.
League of Legends and the eSports Betting Trend
Over the past decade, eSports has gradually grown beyond the framework of “entertainment gaming”. League of Legends has become a major industry, bringing in billions of dollars in revenue each year. ESports tournaments have continuously flourished, attracting the participation of “big guys” in the media, advertising, and millions of fans.
Launched by Riot Games in 2009, LoL quickly became the most popular MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), with hundreds of champions, a unique skill system, tactical gameplay, and team coordination.
A wide community: LoL was released in many regions around the world, including the Philippines, creating a gaming community.
Professional tournaments: Every year, Riot Games organizes many major tournaments such as LCK (Korea), LPL (China), LCS (North America), LEC (Europe), VCS (Vietnam), MSI (Mid-Season Invitational), and Worlds. These are events that attract tens of millions of online viewers.
Continuously updated: LoL is regularly “reborn” through updated versions (patches). Meta-game, champion strength, equipment, and maps all change, creating new experiences for both players and viewers.
Potential Betting on League of Legends
Betting on League of Legends has fueled the heat of esports. Fans can not only watch top matches, but also predict the winning and losing teams, the number of kills, the duration, and the team that will take the first dragon. Why LoL is so attractive to bettors:
A large number of tournaments: From regional tournaments to international tournaments, taking place all year round. Players can constantly find betting opportunities.
High competition: At the professional level, “class differences” may exist, but a new update can also turn the tables, causing the underdog team to turn the tables.
Diverse betting odds: Not only the overall win/loss odds, but also handicaps based on the number of kills, First Blood, First Turret, First Dragon, total kills, total time, etc.
Types of Betting on League of Legends
Win/Lose (Moneyline)
Most basic: Predict which team wins in a Best of 1 (Bo1), Best of 3 (Bo3), or Best of 5 (Bo5) match.
Different odds: The stronger team (the favorite) will have lower odds, the weaker team (the underdog) higher odds.
Handicap
Handicap by game (map): In a Bo3 series, the favorite team will handicap -1.5, meaning that for you to win the favorite team bet, they must win 2-0.
Handicap by number of kills: For example, -5.5 kills means that the favorite team must win by at least 6 more kills than the opponent.
Over/Under (Total kills, total minutes…)
Total kills: The bookmaker sets a benchmark (for example, 25.5 kills), you bet Over if you believe that the two teams will fight fiercely with more than 25 kills, or Under if you think the match will have few kills.
Total Minutes: For example, Over/Under 32.5 minutes. If the team is prone to snowballing, you can bet Under, expecting the game to end early.
First Blood, First Turret, First Dragon, First Baron
First Blood: Which team gets the first kill?
First Turret: Which team destroys the first tower?
First Dragon: Which team takes down the first dragon?
First Baron: Which team takes down Baron Nashor first?
These bets depend a lot on early-game playstyle. If Team A has a strong jungler who often steals dragons or dives towers early, you can choose them for First Dragon or First Turret.
Special Bet
MVP Bet: Who will be the best player of the match?
Number of Dragons, Number of Barons: Total number of dragons or Barons that both teams take down.
Returner: The team that wins game 1 but eventually loses the whole Bo5 series, etc.
