What is LoL Esports?
LoL Esports consists of regional leagues where the world’s best esports organizations and players compete. The scene includes four major regions and several minor ones, each supported by developmental tiers like Academy leagues, where emerging players hone their skills. Most teams have a core of five players, a substitute, and coaching staff, often including a head coach, analyst, and sometimes specialized role coaches.
Which Regions Compete in LoL Esports?
LoL Esports spans four major regions—Europe (LEC), South Korea (LCK), China (LPL), and North America (LCS)—along with ten minor regions, including Brazil (CBLOL), Vietnam (VCS), and Japan (LJL). Each region supports its league structure; for instance, North America features an Academy league tied to each LCS team. Europe has numerous regional leagues for countries like Germany, France, and Spain, supporting competitive play across its diverse player base.
