So I always try and get into watching worlds every year and I watch pro games that happen all year up to worlds but I don't quite understand how it all works. Can anyone explain in detail how the pro season works? I'd like to know what's going on with the games happening now, what the winners of these games will get, what the next games will be and so on ETC. thank you in advance
Afaik there is a spring and summer split, each split awards prize money to the top teams and 'points'. Teams with the most points head to worlds to be part of groups stages of worlds, 3rd place teams and top teams from smaller regions get placed into qualifying matches at worlds to see who is placed into groups.
I'm sure lolesports.com explains in large detail how everything works.
The format of League eSports goes along these lines:
In other words, to answer the questions you're having now, all leagues are still in the early parts of the season as it's only begun as of about 3 weeks ago. From now until mid to late March, teams will be playing against one another on scheduled days under the round robin format. Winners are simply jockeying for position on the standings of their league which is often the higher, the better. As for when to watch: with the Lunar New Year, three major regions are offline this week. There's plenty of ways to check the schedule for upcoming matches. Just comes down to making a routine and keeping it to mind.
