League of Legends Esports World Cup
League of Legends will make its debut in Saudi Arabia after one of the world’s biggest and most played titles wasn’t invited to the Gamers8 festival in 2022 and 2023.
However, once the Esports World Cup was announced, League of Legends was quickly added to the list of tournaments and a prize pool of US$1 million was attached to the four-day-long competition.
Eight teams received direct invites, with two teams from each of the LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS taking their place in Riyadh.
Top esports betting sites have the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational champions, Gen.G, marked as their clear favourite at $1.80 in the “To Win Ouright” market, followed by Bilibili Gaming ($3.50) and T1 ($6.50) to claim the LoL Esports World Cup title.
