What makes League of Legends so special?

The number of characters (134 different heroes), ease of development, and sports component. But the most important thing is the uniqueness of each game. Although all battles take place on the Summoner’s Rift map, none of the matches will be similar to the previous one.

And how are LoL tournaments different from others?

Support for championships by Riot Games developers. They organize, promote and conduct competitions, act as a regulator within the community. For example, an esports player can be fined for unsporting behavior.

The League of Legends authors have created a multi-layered transparent system. The first stage is the Candidates’ League. Any team of five people with an in-game rating of at least “Almaz 5” can participate in it. Participants compete for the prize pool and the opportunity to break into the top division.

During the season, the best teams get a chance to compete with representatives from the WildCard region. Among the participants of the international tournament are players from Latin America, Japan, Turkey, CIS, Oceania, and others. In case of victory, the roster will go to the spring Mid-Season Invitational, which will be attended by the best teams in the world. Tournaments are organized according to a similar scheme after the summer season. Only instead of prestige and a dollar prize fund – a trip to the world championship. Another option is that your contract can be bought by teams from other regions.

How to become a professional player

There are some key tips:

•  First you need to play each character. Then see what runes and talents are using “pro”, then follow these “pro” and copy. This is practically what I did at first, and later I began to play in my style.
• The most difficult thing is to assemble a team that first of all wants to develop, and secondly – to win. Such a team will go very far.
• You need to “try hard” every game with the knowledge of what you are doing. Play only to win, be it a victory over yourself or the enemy. Never give up, never think about any financial gain, but play for personal development and progress.
• Experts advise to always watch yourself, and not the players with whom you have to play, working on yourself, no matter after a game won or lost (or even 10 games), you will achieve what you are striving for much faster, for what you would you did not aspire – to become an e-sportsman or simply to raise a certain rank. It was when I began to understand this that I became who I am.
• For beginners, everything is simple: immediately learn not to “flame” your allies, to monitor your game/mistakes, and not to “fail” the team. See options for “leveling up” abilities on the streams of top LCS players or special sites. Play more, but at the same time not just “spam” games, but try to play with maximum concentration. After the game, think about what could be done better.

Experts advise beginners to look at their shape at the moment, the level of the game, the level of knowledge about the game, and conclude whether it’s worth trying at all. Progaming is very difficult, you need to spend more than 12 hours a day playing (not playing, this is important) just to become competitive. Now a good bar from which to think about getting into the professional League of Legends is the level of the game diamond 1 / master league in your role. At the same time, you need to be able to work with other people, be able to talk with them, be susceptible to criticism and other people’s opinions … It’s difficult, in a word.

To sum up

League of Legends is huge. More than 40 million people watch as pro players compete for a jackpot of several million dollars, and be considered the best team in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that fans would like to visit at least once in the shoes of a professional of their favorite game. However, only a small fraction of amateurs will be ready to experience what a LoL pro player experiences.

Each rank has its own armor emblem, which you can even upgrade during the season with the so-called splits – more on that later.

In order to get from one division to the next higher or to move up from one rank to the next higher, you have to collect so-called League Points (LP). You can find out how this works and how many of them you need in the next section.

LoL Promotion and Relegation

To get promoted from your current division to the higher one you need exactly 100 LP. How much LP you get per victory or lose per defeat depends on the so-called hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR).

The non-visible MMR is intended, among other things, to ensure that professional players do not stay too long in the lower ranks and make the game hell for beginners there. Depending on the MMR and balance of a match, you can lose or win between -20 and +30 League Points.

If you have collected 100 or more LPs in your division, you will move up to the next higher one. Points that exceed the threshold of 100 will be credited directly to you in the new division. If you are even in Division I in your rank and crack the 100 point mark, you qualify for promotion to the next higher rank.

To do this, you have to complete the so-called Promotion Series beforehand. This consists of five consecutive matches, of which you must win at least three. If you win three or more, you start after the fifth game in the new rank in the fourth division with 0 LP.

If you only win two or fewer matches, you will stay in the first division of your current rank. In addition, the difference in LP that you theoretically would have lost during the five matches will be deducted from your account. For the next promotion series, you have to reach 100 or more LP again.

In League of Legends, you can not only move up ranks but also move down. If you lose too many games and your LP drops to 0 or less, you will move down a division or even lose a complete rank if you were previously in division IV of a rank. In the new division, you then start with 75 LP, so you have the opportunity to move up again relatively quickly.

LoL Seasons

In which league you start in a new LoL season, depends on your LoL rank of the last season. At the beginning of each new season you will receive a so-called Provisional Rank.

After your first ranked match, your provisional rank will be shown to you, but only after ten ranked matches have been completed this will be converted into the fixed rank and also shown to other players.

During this period you can only improve your rank , LP will not be deducted if you lose. If you’ve never played League of Legends before or if you’ve made a new account, you’ll start in one of the divisions in bronze.

League of Legends ranks: Promotion Bonuses, Protection Against Relegation, Activity Rating

In addition to the LP system, there are also a few mechanics in League of Legends that make it easier for you to climb up in the lower ranks and make it more difficult for you in the upper ranks. Let’s get into these briefly.

• Promo Helper: The so-called Promo Helper is a mechanism that should help you to move up to a higher rank the next time you try a failed Promotion Series. If you lose in a Promotion Series, the Promo Helper will immediately evaluate a game as a victory when you reach the next Promotion Series. So you only have to get two wins in qualifying instead of three. If you fail several times in a row in the Promotion Series, the Promo Helper will even give you two victories for the next time. The Promo Helper is only available up to Silver I rank; you have to make the jump from Gold I to Platinum IV on your own.

Tier-loss Protection: Tier-loss protection is a kind of puppy protection that you get after advancing to a higher LoL rank. Immediately after promotion, you cannot fall below 0 LP in your first ten games (only three games from the master rank), no matter how often you lose. This should allow you to get used to the new skill level first. If your LP falls below zero at some point after the tenth match, you will be relegated. Depending on how often the Tier-Loss Protection has saved you from relegation, you start in the lower tier with either 25 or 75 LP.<li>

<li>Activity Scoring: To ensure active competition, players of Diamond rank and above must play regularly to maintain their current rank. If you don’t play ranked games for a longer period of time, LP will be deducted from you on a regular basis. However, players in the higher ranks can build up a small buffer of matches so that they do not have to play every day. The exact number of games required and the loss of LPs can be found on the official LoL website.

What bets do bookmakers offer?

As in other esports disciplines, in LoL with the development of the game, the number of offered markets has increased significantly. If earlier bookmakers offered a rather meager line on League of Legends matches with bets only on the winners of the meeting, now in various bookmakers you can bet on many different events that can occur in the game. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Winner Betting

Outcome betting is the simplest and most popular market in the field of betting. It is noteworthy that, as in other eSports disciplines, there are practically no bets on a tie in League of Legends – matches are played in bo1, bo3, bo5 and, in rare cases, bo7 formats, which does not imply the possibility of a tie. Of course, LoL has its favorites and outsiders, just like other e-sports and traditional sports.

Card Winning Betting

This market is not much different from bets on the outcome of the meeting, but we are not talking about a series, but about a specific card – matches in LoL, as mentioned above, are played up to two, three or four won cards. On rare occasions tournament organizers offer a “best of 1” format, which implies only one map played by teams. Of course, in this case, the bet on winning the map is no different from the bet on winning the match.

First Blood Betting

Everything here is as simple as possible – this market offers to bet on the team that commits the first kill in the match. In general, this is a rather risky market, since the team that will commit First Blood is not necessarily the favorite of the meeting and, as a result, the future winner. There is a fairly large element of randomness in this market, which is rather difficult to analyze.

Correct Score Betting

These bets are not much different from those in Dota 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. It’s about the exact score in the series. If we are dealing with the most traditional bo3 format (up to two wins), then four variants of the score are offered – 2: 0, 2: 1, 0: 2 and 1: 2.

Handicap bets on cards

If we talk about handicap in terms of cards, then everything is as simple as possible and not much different from other eSports disciplines. In case the match format is bo3, bookmakers offer to bet on:

• -1.5. The first case means a dry win for one team or another, which is equivalent to a bet on the exact score 2: 0;
• +1.5. The team will win at least one map out of three (or rather, the first two).

Total frags betting

Here we are talking about the most random and difficult to analyze market – the number of kills (frags) that teams will make in one map. Of course, given the absence of restrictions on this outcome, the probability of a successful bet on this market is extremely low. Although, it is worth noting that it is quite possible to analyze the team’s play and assume how many frags it is capable of making per map.

Bet on the total of destroyed buildings

We are talking about a bet on the number of destroyed defensive buildings according to the results of the map, or by a certain moment of the game. In addition, bookmakers offer bets on who will destroy the tower first.

Bets on the total of destroyed Inhibitors and on who will do it first

It is about a bet on how many Inhibitors will be destroyed during a batch. An inhibitor is a special structure that blocks the appearance of enemy super minions on a certain line on the map.

Total capture of Nashor

A bet on how many times players will kill a neutral monster in Summoner’s Rift. Killing this monster gives the team that defeats it a special boost.

LoL betting strategies

The League of Legends betting process requires preparation and research to become a profitable business. As in “classic sports”, statistics play an important role – you need to study the history of meetings between teams and the performance of teams in recent matches.

In order for your bets to be more successful, it is worth paying attention to the lineups, whether there were substitutions in the team, and, of course, the choice of characters (champions) in the game. Of course, in order to correctly assess the strength of the team after the character selection stage, you need to understand how the game works.

In general, it is quite profitable to make live bets here after the draft stage, because the choice of characters can seriously affect the chances of a particular team, and with a bad draft even the reigning champion of the tournament and the clear favorite can lose.

What to Consider to Make a Forecast for LOL

Before making LOL predictions and bets, there are several important points to consider. First, the composition of the team should be learned. It is important to track the performance of the team and individual players in recent matches, to check how many wins were compared to defeats. You also need to see how often this team plays with this particular line-up. Secondly, you need to check if there have been replacements. Sometimes players are replaced right on the day of the game. It is best to read the latest news about the team, track everything on social media accounts. Thirdly, game coherence is an important component. It is necessary to check which characters have been selected by the players. And at the same time you need to check the individual statistics of each.

It is necessary to carefully select the event for the bet. Don’t rely on luck alone. It is important to conduct preliminary research, analyze statistics. It is also imperative to carefully monitor the game’s updates, as the developers regularly make changes: they add new characters, skills, and more. Nothing should be left out of sight for making a forecast.

Salaries in esports are one of the topics that haunt the community. Nobody ever says exact numbers, and the ceiling of opportunities differs in the regions. The League of Legends development company tried to make a closed system, in which neither the amount of compensation for the work of the team’s coaching staff nor the salaries of the players are disclosed. Only rumors or scraps of information from insiders reach the media.

In 2016, it was rumored that the Chinese esportsman Min “Clearlove” Kai from Edward Gaming receives $ 1 million a year. An insider with the nickname Wh1t3zZ wrote the same about Koreans in 2014. One of the players (Pawn or Deft) of the same EDG earned $ 1.2 million, and the coach, whose name was not disclosed, made $ 500 thousand.

All this sounds unusual and at the same time does not seem like a big fiction. Titled, successful and promoted players are always appreciated by clubs. And the cybersportsmen themselves do not hide the fact that they are going to America or China to earn money. Local teams pay well. Co-owner of the Phoenix1 club, Michael Moore, said that his new organization was planning a loss of $ 500 thousand per season. Large organizations, he said, spend much more in three months, depending on the size of their salaries. But they, like any other figures, are not disclosed. Some consider the information confidential, others – that the market is not ready yet. Cybersportsmen do not hide the fact that they go to America or China to earn money, where teams pay well.

Due to the closed nature of the system, the press has no choice but to count the money won in tournaments. Until 2016, the prize pools of the competition did not seem very high compared to the Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive championships. $ 100,000 were drawn per season in the European LCS league, $ 260,000 in the Korean LCK and $ 540,000 in the Chinese LPL. At the main tournament of the year, the prize money has not changed for the last four years – $ 2 million. However, in 2016, Riot Games launched a crowdfunding campaign before the start of the World Championship. As a result, the prize fund increased from $ 2 to $ 6.7 million. In 2017, the company continued to improve the financial conditions for players. So, for example, in Europe and America for the season they will play not $ 100 thousand, but $ 200 thousand. The numbers are not the largest in comparison with football, but acceptable. If earlier players were afraid to bet on a career in esports, now the benchmarks are clearer.

In 2016, Riot Games launched a crowdfunding campaign ahead of the start of the LoL World Cup, thereby increasing the prize pool from $ 2 million to $ 6.7 million.

According to the Esportsearnings portal, the list of the richest and wealthiest in terms of prize money won is dominated by citizens of Korea and China. The current head of eSports Paris Saint-Germain (from 2010 to 2016 he played as a professional player) is only in 32nd place – $ 167 thousand.

The best players

The six wealthiest are former or current SK Telecom T1 players (three-time world champions in the last four years):

• Kang “Blank” Sun Gu – $ 419,260;
• Lee “Duke” Ho Seng – $ 450 210;
• Bae “Bang” Yoon Sik – $ 631,239;
• Lee “Wolf” Zhe Wang – $ 635,741;
• Bae “Bengi” Song Yoon – $ 810,683;
• Lee “Faker” Sang Hyuk – $ 897,818.

There are four Russians and one Armenian in the top 100. Together they played for the teams Moscow Five and Gambit Gaming. The squad is called “golden”, since from 2012 to 2014 the five dominated in Europe and won the largest tournaments. At that time, they only failed to submit to the world championship twice. In 2012, the guys stopped in the semifinals, losing to future champions – Taipei Assasins.

The quarterfinalists of the 2016 World Cup – a team from the CIS Albus NoX Luna – were only among the 200 richest players. The Russian and CIS market as a whole is still developing. The prize money, like salaries, is lower than in other regions, depending on the size of the club. For two seasons, 9 million rubles are drawn here. Despite the fact that League of Legends cannot boast of large numbers yet, players understand what they have the right to expect in this industry.

The post LOL worlds champions appeared first on Betting Leader.

Of course, champions with complex mechanics are potentially more powerful in the hands of professionals, but often their strength is not realized one hundred percent. Characters with a strong set of skills on paper become almost useless if poorly controlled. At the start of the game play the most difficult champions means the need to spend energy. It goes not on studying the game itself, but on other things, such as:

•  controlling one single hero;
• on vain attempts to give out his complex character;
• show a mechanic that you do not yet possess.

Everything comes with experience, but this experience is not necessarily acquired in such a terrible way. Once you get the hang of the game, it will be much easier to learn new characters. Better to play confidently on stable champions than to try to catch the crane. He is more comfortable in the sky.

To master League of Legends from scratch. So players must learn the basics of trading in different roles/ Also they should learn positioning in team fights. This would help them yo control lines. It’s recommended to start playing champions with not the most complicated mechanics. Which ones? Let’s look at a few for each of the positions along with MoreLegends.

Top line

The top line is a very convenient spot for a beginner. It is home to the toughest champions, who can usually absorb much more damage than other team members. On the top, you can learn how to fight 1 on 1, as well as study interaction with minions: not only how to finish them off, but also how to control their behavior.

The simplest thing you can choose to play on the top lane is a tank. Take a closer look at Maokai: firstly, his spells are almost impossible to miss, and, secondly, he is one of the most useful champions in the game due to the large pool of health, survivability, and powerful control. This is the best option for those who love team play and are ready to work for the result. If you want to do “beautifully” and effectively, and Maokai seems too slow, then Malfit can also keep you company on the top line. Ultra-hitting Malphite into a crowd of enemies for the first time is an exciting experience!

Forest

For a beginner, playing jungle may seem overwhelming. Although here you will not need to worry about constant trades with your opponent, in the forest you have to control all the lines at once, and it is rather difficult to do this without knowing how to play them. First, try to acquire basic game skills on each lane, and only then start mastering the forest.

Central line

Most of the people think that the largest number of newbie champions live in this lane. But in reality most mid laners have very complex machines. On this lane it’s very difficult to start from scratch. It’s better o have several heroes, who use different styles of the gameplay. This will help to confidently face a huge variety of enemy heroes.

Playing mid is a big responsibility, here you need not only control your character but also to finish off the maximum number of minions. If this is the first time you decide to go to the center line, then take Annie. It’s quite cheap.And also it has powerful control, there is E, which reduces the damage received, as well as explosive projection both on one target and AOE. You can also finish off minions with her Q, and when finishing off, you will return the spent mana.

This champion is the best choise for the beginner. Just like most champions that seem simple at first glance, Annie has hidden mechanics. After you figure out which way to cast spells and how to finish off minions, try to perform your first trick: lower the bear on the heads of enemies using the jump forward, but before that do not forget to activate the passive skill. After such a maneuver, the game will be in your pocket.

In order not to torment, I will say the main thing: anyone who has devoted enough time to the game and found four equally enthusiastic comrades can get into a major tournament, but first things first.

How to get into big esports?

Let’s say you are a completely new player, have never played League of Legends, and are just planning to dive into this world. No problem! The game will gradually teach you all the basics, and thousands of videos and articles will help you deal with more subtle issues.

Thus, by training, unlocking new champions, and learning mechanics, you will reach level 30, which can be done in about a month, playing several matches a day.

Having received the coveted level 30, and having unlocked at least 14 champions, you will have access to a ranked game, from which you will begin your progress towards the cherished goal — a big tournament.

The system here is simple: move from league to league until you reach Diamond, from where you and your team can enter the open qualifiers.

The ranking system is generally structured as follows. There are 7 leagues, each with 5 divisions, where you will have about 50 opponents. As soon as you collect 100 league points, you will be able to move to a higher division. It works like this: three games are given, of which at least two must be won. Promotion from league to league is the same, but you have to win at least three games out of five.

How do you get league points:

1. Each victory will give you small amounts of them, depending on the difficulty of the game and your hidden rating.
2. The system is designed in such a way as to encourage victory in difficult games and not to score points in simple ones.
3. The more difficult the game, the more points you get and less you lose, and vice versa, which in general creates a very enjoyable experience of moving up the rank ladder.

Another important difference between ranked games and regular games is the pick system. You can still choose champions blindly, but if you want, say, to play a support role, you can choose it ahead of time and mark your position on the map. As a longtime Dota 2 player, I can’t help but applaud Riot, this is a very good approach to team building, especially when there is only a certain set of champions.

But enough dry details – let’s move on to the interesting.

Having reached the fifth division of the Diamond League, the main thing opens up for you – the Championship of the Challengers League, your chance to get to the Continental League, and then to the world tournament.

The system is once again as transparent as possible: twice a year, 32 teams fight in open qualifiers to get to the final of the tournament and earn their slot in the Continental League on a par with professional teams such as Na’Vi, Team Empire, Hard Random and others. How cool is that?

Check out what a Continental League tournament looks like, and then imagine that you can get there just by playing with your friends! To qualify for the Challenger League, you need to meet three conditions: 100% of the team’s players must have a rating of at least Diamond V on the RU server and be at least 16 years old, and at least 60% must be citizens of the CIS countries.

How to get into big esports?

All this is good and interesting, but what can simple lone players do? In this case, it is worth trying to reach the Challenger rank, which will most likely pay enough attention to you to select a permanent team. Cases, when even a professional organization took a lone player from among the Contenders, have happened more than once.

One way or another – you got into the Challenger League, where next? Here the road to the big arena is very short: go through the open qualifiers, win the grand final and that’s it! You are in the Continental League, from where there is a direct road to the Wild Card tournament, where it is already a stone’s throw to the World Championship.

Just imagine, from beginner to professional player on the stage of a huge tournament – only 5 ranked leagues and a lot of hard training. It is difficult to find a more direct and transparent system. In addition, there are University Battles in the CIS, which give even more chances to play in front of a huge audience.

Of course, winning the tournament is not easy, it will require a lot of effort and excellent teamwork from you, but the main thing is that League of Legends does not pose any obstacles and from year to year tries to make the path to a professional player’s career as transparent as is it even possible.

10 – Golden Guardians

The team’s results at the spring split turned out to be as terrible as possible (3 wins – 15 losses), after which the organization made a logical decision to change the composition of the team. The band left: Aiden “Niles” Tidwell and Leandro “Newbie” Marcos. Their place in the team was taken by players who previously performed at the Golden Guardians Academy, namely: Colin “Solo” Ernest and Jonathan “Chime” Pomponio.

How exactly the players in the new team will show themselves is not yet clear, it is also unclear how the replacement of players will affect the teamwork of the team. The organization has nothing left but to look for various options to improve results and this option looks quite interesting and as logical as possible, since players will get a chance to gain a foothold at a high level and will strive to show the maximum level of the game, as well as the maximum result.

9 – FlyQuest

The main problem of this organization is the unwillingness (inability) to spend money on transfers, as well as providing players with good contracts. Basically, in this organization there are players who are no longer able to show the previous level or newcomers who were brought up in the academy of the organization and cannot show the level that the organization expects from them.

Eric “Licorice” Richie and Han “Dreams” Min-kook are the players who form the basis of the team, but their level of play is not at the same level, and they can claim leading positions, which is to say about the players from the academy who get a chance to gain a foothold in the squad, but it is quite problematic to do so.
The main task of the FlyQuest team is to reach the playoffs, but it will be quite problematic to fulfill it. Even if they get to this stage, it will be difficult for them to oppose their rivals there.

8 – Immortals

At the spring split, the team showed quite good results, finishing in 7th place (7 wins – 11 losses). However, I was pleased with the team’s performance, which turned out to be quite good, despite the fact that the team was recognized as one of the worst teams at the beginning of 2021. The potential of certain players is visible, which means that the end result can be even better.
The team claims to be a dark horse, from which few people expect excellent results, but it can be capable of a lot. Mohamed “Revenge” Kaddura and David “Insanity” Challe showed a high level of play, and at this stage they are at the peak of their form, which can help the team show excellent results, certainly much better than the expectations of many at the beginning of this year.

7 – Counter Logic Gaming

This team is experiencing the greatest pressure, which can play a decisive role. It is simply impossible not to reach the playoff stage with two European players in the team with whom good contracts have been signed.

The situation is also worsened by the fact that the team showed a bad result for themselves at the spring split. This result can be accepted, given the fact that due to problems with obtaining a visa, Mads “Broxah” Brock-Pedersen could not play and the team not only lost one of the leading players, but also experienced problems in teamwork related to substitution.

For the coveted slot, they will fight with the teams that occupy places from 8 to 10 in this rating, but in this battle they look like clear favorites. Whether they will be able to cope with the pressure and reach the next round will be known directly at the Summer Split.

6 – Dignitas

This team has become a real surprise for many fans and analysts. The team showed an excellent result for itself at the spring split, taking 5th place (11 wins – 7 losses)
Veterans of the game Joshua ” Dardoch” Hartnett and Zachary “aphromoo” Black successfully manage young talents, which brings a very good result. However, one successful performance does not make Dignitas a high-level team, they also remain a mid-level team.

5 – Evil Geniuses

At the spring split, the team took 6th place, which clearly does not suit both the players and the owners of the organization. With such players as Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro and Chon “Impact” Eon-young, the team should occupy higher places. After such a result, certain changes occurred in the team. Matthew “Deftly” Chen left the team, and his place is now taken by EG Academy player Kyle “Danny” Sakamaki, which shows a fairly high level of play.
In the summer split, the team will fight for victory, but it is not yet clear exactly how the team’s players will manifest themselves and whether the newcomer will be able to cope with the responsibility and show a decent level of play. Despite this, the team is definitely one of the contenders, if not for victory, then for a place in the top three.

4 – Team Solo Mid

This team also strives to take the leading places at each tournament. A team can show excellent results in one match and then easily lose in another, they lack a certain stability and psychological attitude.
So in the spring split, they lost to Team Liquid with a score of 3-1, while they did not show an interesting game and fight, so even such a score does not reflect what actually happened in this match.
If a team can regularly show its high level in each match, then it has the right to expect to win the tournament, but for this it is necessary to prevent frankly disastrous matches.

3 – 100 Thieves

This team has significantly strengthened during the off-season. Felix “Abbedagge” Brown joined the team, and a new coach appeared, namely Bok ”Reapered” Han-gyu, who was previously the coach of the Cloud9 team. These changes can allow the team to become the best team in the North America region, and also significantly strengthens their position in the international arena.

However, it may take some time for the team to show its full current potential. The players need to play, the coach needs to understand the full potential of the players, as well as learn how to use it correctly to increase the power of the team and develop special tactics that are ideal for the whole team. Despite all this, 100 Thieves is a clear contender for the championship.

2 – Team Liquid

The team could have won the spring split, but in the final they lost to Cloud 9 and took second place, which this team cannot be satisfied with, because they have championship ambitions. Partially winning the spring split was prevented by a replacement (Lucas “Santorin” Tao Kilmer will miss the match due to health problems).

In the summer, Team Liquid will be one of the main contenders for the championship and will try to take revenge from the Cloud9 team. To do this, they have everything they need, because they have really great players, as well as an impressive coaching staff that finds weaknesses in the opponents’ game, allowing the team to use this knowledge against them.

1 – Cloud9

This team takes 1st place in this rating, because the team won the spring split. However, the team has certain problems with teamwork and understanding each other. Despite the excellent result, there is a replacement in the team, he moved to the Academy team and promoted Calvin “K1ng” Truong as the main ADC.

However, Cloud 9 is our best team and we expect them to at least get to LoL Worlds. This is the best chance for NA in the international arena, and most people know about it.

Although you cannot find out how long your particular game session was, Riot Games can give you an idea of what was your playing time during the season (your ranked hours to be exact). So, to find out, follow the steps below:

• Start the game on your PC and go to your profile section instead of starting the match.
• Find the main menu and click on the ‘Stats’ tab.
• On the left side under the ‘Play Style’ label, you will find information on the number of games played during the season with the number of ranked hours played as shown below.

However, if you are interested in knowing the total number of hours you spend playing LoL, then you should use third-party services.

WOL.GG

Wasted on LoL is a third-party service that allows you to find out how much time you’ve spent on LoL – just enter your username and specify your region to start. With a simple and straightforward interface, WOL.GG is a great solution for anyone interested in how much time they spend on the game. In addition, it offers a handy tool to build a top 20 list for each region (RPs purchase is required). The service covers all Riot Games player accounts except for the regions run by Garena. Since WOL.GG is not an official Riot Games partner, it only gives an approximate number of hours spent on LoL.

Guide to Using WOL.GG

To find out how many game hours you have using WOL.GG, just follow these steps:

• Go to the WOL.GG website and find the tab where you need to enter your username.
• Type in your username and select the appropriate region from the list of available ones.
• Finally, just click on the appropriate button to get the requested information.

By doing this, you will get information about your time spent on LoL expressed in days, hours, and minutes. You can also find out your rating (in your region and worldwide) and share this information on social media.

How Accurate are the Data Provided by WOL.GG?

You cannot be confident that WOL.GG provides accurate data as it does not have access to the Riot Games databases. Judging from the feedback, this platform often shows playtime which is much higher than the actual number of hours you have played.

Alternative Tools

If you do not trust the information provided by WOL.GG, you can use Laoyuegou.com, a Chinese online service that calculates the average duration of your playing sessions and their number over the season. With these two parameters in mind, you can multiply their values to find out how long you have been in the game. In addition, using web services such as op.gg, you can get an idea of the average number11 of playing hours, as it is calculated from the average duration of the low-rank and top-rank matches. You can also find out your average number of games played by dividing your total number of mastery points by 650.

How to Improve Your Game without Coaching?

As LoL is a fairly complex and elaborate game with many elements, it can take you years to make even minimal progress. However, with solid information and analytics, you can achieve meaningful results. Covering all aspects of combat tactics, Mobalytics can be your perfect companion. Furthermore, you can use services such as op.gg to view item build paths and masteries of various players, including even the most advanced punters. This is an especially good option for those who don’t have time to watch lengthy streams.

Average Amount of Time and Money Spent on LoL

Riot Games provide data on the average number of hours spent by the average player over the course of a season, and this is about 832 hours or about 35 days. As the statistics take into account newcomers as well as seasoned pros, it is quite possible that the latter spend a lot more time playing the title. By contacting the provider’s support team, you can also find out how much money you have spent on LoL.

How to Utilize Your Playing Time More Effectively

Although the time you spend on LoL can be enormous, this shouldn’t be disappointing as it averages out to just a couple of weeks. What’s more, you will be able to use what you have learned in a number of effective ways:

• Build your LoL fantasy team on DraftKings and win prizes.
• Subscribe to Unikrn and earn money using UMode.
• Utilize your knowledge and experience by placing bets on LoL events on sportsbooks like GG.Bet, Betway or Bet365.
• Start your own blog or create a LoL guide on how to play successfully to share your knowledge with others.

So, your time spent on LoL can do a lot of good for you.

Who is this unique Doublelift player?

Yiliang Peter Peng loved computer games from his earliest childhood. But those far days few people believed that for Yiliang, his occupation would grow into something really worthwhile in many years. Something that will become a source of staggering income. And only the older brother of Doublelift (this is the game nickname of Iliang Peter Pang) believed 100% that the guy should try himself in real esports. This American gambler fought League of Legends well, and there was no doubt – he was the best in that stuff.

It all started 10 years ago when Doublelift literally shook the entire esports environment with its bright and successful matches in the League of Legends game. At the same time, he decided to join Counter Logic Gaming. And, this action became the starting point for future international esports tournaments and high-profile victories. And now, for 10 years, American gamer Doublelift has no equal in the esports gaming community.

Yiliang Peter Peng has a brash and arrogant nature. He prefers to speak out about other players in a rather sarcastic and humiliating style. It is known that once he was even fired from one team precisely for his sharp and rude way of talking. But, as we can see, this did not affect the success of the guy in a professional sense.

Doublelift income

How much does Yiliang Peter Peng really earn on the game? The approximate amount of income that some Internet resources call for is about 300 000 US$. But this is only an official figure. Obviously, in fact, the player’s fees are much higher. After all, it is known that at the moment the annual contract with Doublelift exceeds 200,000 US dollars. And this does not take into account the profit that Yiliang Peter Peng receives from streaming!

An American gamer played for Team Liquid some time ago. Now he is back on the side of Team SoloMid. In general, Yiliang Peter Peng has worked in such teams as Team Curse, Counter Logic Gaming, Epic Gamer, Team SoloMid, and Team Liquid.

Personal story

Against the background of professional success, Doublift’s personal life does not look as successful. So, in March 2018, a terrible event happened in the family of Yiliang Peter Peng – his younger brother killed the mother. Also, the gamer’s father was injured during the attack but he luckily managed to survive. Of course, these events have left an imprint on the emotional state of Doublelift.

But the gamer managed to separate personal tragedy and work. This can be seen from the circumstances that his team Team Liquid, even in these difficult times for Yiliang, continued to win esports matches in 2018-2019.

Relationships with his beloved also caused some issues for the professional life of the American player. In 2019, Doublelift moved to the TSM team. Here he met his beloved – Lin Xu, who at that time headed TSM. Their relationship caused a mixed reaction from others. Some individuals even accused Doublelift of specifically refusing to work for Team Liquid.

The brightest achievements of Doublelift

Despite the young age, Doublelift is considered a true veteran of LCS in the world of esports. Here are just some of his victories at the League of Legends championships:

In November 2020, Doublelift made a statement on Twitter that he was retiring from the professional League of Legends.
