Bet on League of Legends World Championship 2025

Mambo poa! The League of Legends Championship—often called LoL Worlds—is the ultimate MOBA showdown where the best squads from around the globe lock horns. It all kicked off in 2011 at DreamHack Sweden, when Team Fnatic made history by lifting the Summoner's Cup. Since then, six different teams have claimed the crown, with SKT T1 standing out as the only roster to hoist the cup three times (as of 2025).

LoL Worlds has grown in every way—bigger prize pools, more host cities, evolving rules and format. Riot Games even drops an official anthem each year since 2014 to fuel the hype. The tournament runs through three stages—Play-Ins, Group Stage and Knockouts. Play-Ins and Groups use a round-robin format, while the Knockout bracket is a best-of-five, single-elimination gauntlet.

This isn’t small-time stuff—LoL Worlds packs a multi-million-dollar prize pool, drawing in hundreds of millions of viewers online. In fact, it’s one of the biggest esports tournaments under the sun. Add to that a booming online betting experience—just like folks in Kenya back their Premier League favourites, you can get in on LoL betting odds and ride the excitement.

The Trophy

Lifting the Summoner's Cup is every player’s dream. Riot Games specified a 70-pound design, but the final cup came in lighter so champs can raise it without a sweat. Achana na mimi—seeing that silverware go up is pure magic!

League of Legends (LoL) is a free-to-play MOBA launched in 2009. Thanks to its low minimum specs, anyone with a decent rig can jump in and start battling in Summoner’s Rift.

How to play League of Legends

A standard LoL match is 5v5, with each side spawning on opposite corners of the map—blue and red. You’ll farm minions in three lanes (top, mid, bottom) and roam the jungle for extra gold and XP. Use that gold to buy items, boosting your champion’s spells and damage. Grab XP to level up and unlock stronger abilities. Both teams summon minions from their Nexus to help push lanes and siege the opponent’s base.

Your goal? Destroy the enemy Nexus. But it’s guarded by turrets and Inhibitors—so you’ll need smart pushes, minion waves, and clutch teamfights. Once every key structure falls, you get that sweet victory screen. Sasa, it’s all about map control and timing.

Esports tournaments are surging, and LoL Worlds is front and centre. The league of legends betting odds are competitive, offering punters loads of markets. Here’s why you’ll find this event poa for bettors:

Fnatic (Season 1)

Season 1 was humble—just eight teams at DreamHack Summer (three from Europe, three from NA, one from the Philippines, one from Singapore). Fnatic took down Counter Logic Gaming 2-1, swept Epik Gamer, then beat Against All Authority in an all-European final. They pocketed $50,000 (approx KSh 6,500,000).

Taipei Assassins (Season 2)

Moving to Los Angeles, Worlds Season 2 bumped the prize pool to $2,000,000 (approx KSh 260,000,000)—40 times the first! Taipei Assassins swept NaJin Sword, ousted Moscow Five 2-1, then topped Azubu Frost 3-1 to bring Taiwan its first crown.

SK Telecom T1 (Season 3)

Season 3 featured the first-ever full five-game series. SKT thrashed NaJin in the semis, then crushed Royal Club 3-0 in the final—Korea’s first title and the spark of its Worlds dominance.

Samsung White (Season 4)

Samsung White blitzed Star Horn Royal Club 3-0, marking back-to-back Korean victories. Royal Club (now Royal Never Give Up) became the only team with multiple runner-up finishes.

SK Telecom T1 (Season 5)

The start of three straight all-Korean finals: SKT vs KOO Tigers. SKT dropped one game but won 3-1, becoming the first squad to win Worlds twice.
