What is the LoL Pro League?

The League of Legends Pro League, or LPL as it is known to most people, is the LoL league that is based out of China. The LPL is organised by Tencent Games and not Riot Games but teams still gain Championship Points and qualify for Worlds and MSI events every year. The LPL has 17 teams participating in a 10 week fixture, meaning all of the teams play each other once. All regular season series are Bo3 similarly to the LCK.

All 17 of the LPL teams are placed on a single table with all of the positions sorted out by win-loss record first and then map difference, exactly like the LCK. Once the regular season is completed, the top 10 teams will proceed to the playoffs with all playoff games being Bo5, and the teams that finish from 7th to 10th will kick off the upper-bracket in round one, with the 5th and 6th-placed teams waiting for the winners in round two. After the round two series have been completed, the double elimination playoff bracket starts with the winners of the round two series taking on the 3rd and 4th-place teams.

Once the upper-bracket quarter-finals winners are confirmed they will then take on the 1st and 2nd-place teams with all of the teams now competing in the playoffs and there will be only six teams remaining. We will find out the LPL champion after the grand final, ending the longest playoff bracket across all of the top-tier leagues.

Top LPL betting sites & apps

#2	Live Betting Odds Bovada Claim a 50% deposit bonus up to the value of USD $250	Visit Bovada Bovada Review

The top LPL betting sites will be determined by your location and the laws that they operate under. For instance, the USA has many states that now have regulated sports betting, and in these states there are plenty of legal sportsbooks you can sign up for.

Other places, like China, where the LPL is based do not have any legal betting options and those looking to wager on this popular League of Legends series, will need to wager with offshore online bookies. This does not mean that these LPL betting sites will be any less safe, it simply means that you should do your homework before wagering with them, because the ones that accept Chinese bets are based in places like Curacao and Costa Rica.

LPL bet types available at the top League of Legends betting sites, like bet365 (bet365 review) and Betway (betway review), include match lines, most kills, map winners and then “exotics” like barons, inhibitors, towers and dragons on map 1 (or whatever map you are up to).

Most LPL betting can be done via betting apps, with this no surprise given over 70% of all esports bets are done via mobile in 2024. These betting apps are generally for popular Android smartphones (Huawei, Samsung etc) and in some places, Apple smartphones operating off the iOS operating system.

Another huge plus to wagering on LPL via online betting sites is that they generally have payment options that suit players from all round the world. For instance, Australian bookmakers have got commonly used deposit options like Paypal, credit and debit cards and locally-backed payment processors like POLi.

The best LPL betting sites will also often give punters the ability to switch their odds types with the click of a button, so you should be able to view match prices in the format you understand.
