League of Legends (LoL): the esports discipline and its betting markets
League of Legends (LoL) is the five-a-side MOBA published by Riot Games for PC, running on Windows and macOS. Each team builds its line-up of champions through alternating picks and bans, then fights across Summoner's Rift until one side brings down the opposing Nexus. For bettors in Morocco, this page covers series formats, LoL markets and how they are decided, the Worlds 2026 calendar and the MENA scene.
LoL fixtures are listed next to every other title in the real esports competitions menu, grouped by tournament and then by series. On 1xBet a LoL fixture can be read at two levels: the series as a whole, and the events inside each individual map.
Picks, bans and the Nexus: what decides a LoL series

Every game, called a map in betting terms, opens with the draft. Teams alternate picks and bans, and the five champions each side settles on often reveal the plan: early skirmishes, objective control, or a slower build towards late-game strength. Once play begins, towers, dragons and Baron Nashor mark the route into the enemy base. A map ends when a Nexus falls, and the site's rules use that same moment to name the winner of a map or a match.
Professional LoL groups maps into series. At Worlds 2026 the Swiss stage brought together 16 teams over five rounds: three wins sent a team through, three losses sent it home. Early rounds were played as Bo1, deciding matches as Bo3. The knockout bracket holds 8 teams, a single defeat ends a run, and every series up to and including the final is a Bo5. Fearless Draft applies to all Bo3 and Bo5 series at the event, while Bo1 games keep the standard draft.
LoL betting markets and what settles them
The table lists the market types tied to a League of Legends series, along with what decides each one under the site's esports rulebook or by the definition of the market.
Market | What you are backing | What decides it |
|---|---|---|
Match winner | The whole series | Whichever team first collects the map wins its format demands |
Map winner | One named map in the series | The fall of the Nexus on that map, whatever happens in the rest of the series |
Map handicap | A series edge or shortfall measured in maps | At −1.5 a team needs a two-map margin: 2-0 in a Bo3, 3-0 or 3-1 in a Bo5 |
Total maps | How many maps get played | Two or three in a Bo3, three to five in a Bo5 |
Correct series score | The exact final scoreline in maps | Only a perfect match with the result wins |
First Blood, First Tower, First Baron | Which team scores the opening kill, destroys the first tower or slays Baron Nashor first | Judged on one specific map |
Kill streaks: Triple, Quadra, Penta Kill | Whether a named streak takes place | A "Yes" bet is a winner once the streak appears in the match and a loser if it never does, with nothing else in the match affecting it; "Largest Multi-Kill" follows the longest streak achieved |
Map duration | How long a map lasts against a set line | Counted to the second: a line of 27.5 is only beaten if the map runs past 27:30. A finish at 27:15 falls short, and one at exactly 27:30 is refunded at odds of 1.00 |
General rules sit on top of these markets. A team that withdraws or is disqualified, for whatever reason, is treated as beaten on every map still to be played, and in-play bets go back at odds of 1.00 if their outcome was still open when play stopped. Once a postponement passes twenty-four hours, the company may choose to return bets at those same odds. A game halted by the administrator and replayed does not count.
Worlds 2026: played so far and still to come
The 2026 World Championship runs in the United States from 15 October to 14 November, with a prize pool of 5,000,000 USD. The table shows the state of the bracket on 6 November 2026.
Stage | Dates | Venue | Results and pairings |
|---|---|---|---|
Swiss stage | 23 to 31 October | Allen, Texas | Through to the playoffs: Dplus KIA and Gen.G at 3-0; T1, Invictus Gaming and Top Esports at 3-1; Karmine Corp, LYON and Bilibili Gaming at 3-2 |
Quarterfinals | 3 to 6 November | Allen, Texas | Invictus Gaming beat Top Esports 3-1 on 3 November; Gen.G beat LYON 3-0 on 4 November; Bilibili Gaming beat Dplus KIA 3-0; Karmine Corp against T1 scheduled for 6 November |
Semifinals | 7 and 8 November | Allen, Texas | Invictus Gaming against Gen.G on 7 November; Bilibili Gaming against the winner of Karmine Corp and T1 on 8 November |
Final | 14 November | Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York | Best-of-five series |
Earlier in the season, the Esports World Cup's League of Legends tournament in Paris, held from 15 to 19 July 2026, finished with Dplus KIA sweeping Karmine Corp 3-0 in the 19 July final, a title worth 600,000 USD. For 2027, Riot Games has named regions only: First Stand goes to Southeast Asia, MSI to Europe and Worlds to South Korea, with no confirmed dates.
Betting while a map is live

A LoL series offers two windows: before the draft, when only the team names and the format are known, and once play starts. Matches in progress are collected under live esports betting. With a map under way, the gold gap, fallen towers and team fights around dragons and Baron Nashor can swing the picture within a short spell of play.
Between two maps of the same series, both teams return to the draft, so the champions for the next map are known before it starts.
Arabian League and the MENA scene
The Arabian League is the official League of Legends competition run under Riot Games for the Middle East and North Africa, the region that includes Morocco. It reached its fourth year in 2026, belongs to the EMEA regional league ecosystem and leads into EMEA Masters. Eight teams take part, and the 2026 season had three splits: Winter from 13 January to 26 February, Spring from 10 April to 21 May, and Summer during the summer months. The Summer split closed on 17 September 2026 with a one-sided final, Anubis Gaming beating JSK Esports 3-0.
At home, competitive gaming in Morocco comes under the FRMJE (Fédération Royale Marocaine des Jeux Électroniques), set up in late 2020 and holding delegation status with its supervising ministry (Youth, Culture and Communication). Morocco is also on the list of national sides for the Esports Nations Cup, now moved to November 2027.
Following LoL from Morocco
To back a series with a real balance, set up a player account and choose the Moroccan dirham (MAD) when opening it; your balance and every stake are then shown in dirhams. On a phone, the site's mobile version gives access to the same esports section with your usual login.
Riot Games also publishes Valorant, its 5v5 tactical shooter. Fans of drafting will find another PC MOBA among Dota 2 fixtures, and the genre's mobile branch in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang series.
Popular events and sports news
LoL betting: quick answers
How many maps are there in a League of Legends series?
That depends on the format. A Bo1 is a single map, a Bo3 runs to two or three, and a Bo5 to between three and five. At Worlds 2026 the opening Swiss rounds were Bo1, the deciding Swiss matches Bo3, and the whole knockout bracket Bo5.
What does a −1.5 map handicap mean?
Backing a team at −1.5 maps means it has to win the series by two maps or more: only 2-0 in a Bo3, and 3-0 or 3-1 in a Bo5. Any closer result, or a defeat, makes the bet a loser.
When is the Worlds 2026 final?
On 14 November 2026 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, as a best-of-five. The semifinals come first in Allen, Texas: Invictus Gaming against Gen.G on 7 November, and Bilibili Gaming against the winner of Karmine Corp and T1 on 8 November.
Is there a League of Legends league for North Africa?
Yes. The Arabian League is the official Riot Games league for the Middle East and North Africa, with eight teams and three splits in 2026. Its Summer final on 17 September 2026 ended with Anubis Gaming beating JSK Esports 3-0.
Can I bet on LoL from a phone in Morocco?
Yes. The mobile version of the site gives access to the esports section with the account you use on a computer, and a balance opened in Moroccan dirhams (MAD) stays in dirhams on the phone.
