Best Valor NA··1 votes·852 views

Why is there such a difference between some of the Pro Leagues?

NALCS - North America EULCS - Europe

LPL - China OPL - Oceanic

LCK - Korea

They could've made them all

NAPL EUPL LPL OPL KPL

or something so theyre all the sameish. Idk it's just something that popped into my head.

I'm not sure about OPL or LMS, but LCK and LPL started outside of Riot control by other groups, meaning that their names were not under Riot's control. NA and EU LCS were made the same because they was introduced at the same time by Riot.

LMS was started by another company as well (the same company who started the GPL, they disliked the fact that Taiwanese teams were steamrolling the rest of the competition not giving the rest of Southeast Asia a chance, so they split them into their own league and now have the LMS and GPL. No idea about OPL, I assume it's because Oceania is considered a wildcard region and therefore they want to differentiate it from a "Championship Series"/"Challenger Series" and Pro League just seemed to fit well enough.
