Another huge week of esports kicks off on January 15, 2024, with League of Legends taking centre stage.

While the League of Legends EMEA Championship kicked off last weekend, the North American (LCS) and Korean (LCK) regions will start their respective spring splits on the 17th and 19th of January.

Meanwhile, the final weekend of the Call of Duty: Stage 1 Major Qualifiers will take place, with most of the teams playing their final two games before the Major begins on January 25.

League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK)

The opening night of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) will feature two matches, with Nongshim RedForce taking on DRX, followed by the world champions, T1, clashing with Gen.G in a star-studded match-up.

Esports betting sites have T1 marked as the +100 favourites to take out the 2024 LCK Spring Split, ahead of Gen.G (+150) and Hanwha Life Esports (+550).

League of Legends Championship Series (LCS)

With all the changes that have been made to the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), many League of Legends fans will keep a close eye on the league that has historically been the weakest of the top four leagues in the world.

Changing back to Friday and Saturday matchdays should bring more viewers, as should a more competitive league with only eight teams involved in 2024.

Cloud9 are the overwhelming favourites at -120.48 ahead of NRG (+400) and Team Liquid (+600) with most bookmakers.

Call of Duty: Stage 1 Major Qualifiers

The last of four qualification weekends for the Call of Duty: Stage 1 Major in Boston will determine the seeding for the Major.

Going into the final weekend, Atlanta FaZe sits atop the table with a 5-0 record ahead of the New York Subliners, who are 4-0 but have a worse map-difference than FaZe.
