If you are looking for top quality esports betting, then there’s no doubt that the League of Legends Spring Series event has and continues to provide punters with a huge range of potential betting 
opportunities.
This massive event is taking place around the globe with Spring Series leagues in North America, Europe, China, Korea, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macao and Brazil along with several lower tier events offering lesser teams a chance to earn promotion to the elite leagues.
With the remaining games in this league section taking place over the next few weeks (depending on the geographic location, the end dates for each league differ), let’s take a look at how things are shaping up in the different regions.
North America sees Immortals having clinched the coveted top spot in the competition and a seed in the playoffs later this year after they racked up a fantastic 15-1 record through the qualifiers. With only two games left to play for each team, it looks like its a battle between Cloud9 and Counter Logic Gaming for the second seeded spot as both have 11-5 records though Team SoloMid (9-7) could yet upset the applecart if things go their way.
It is race between three teams in the European Spring Series for the top two spots. Currently, G2 Esports and H2k Gaming lie in joint first place with 13-3 records, but they could be caught by Team Vitality who have 12/4 records. The remaining playoff places have all been decided with Fnatic, Origen and Unicorns Of Love all boasting 9-7 records, four better than Elements and Splyce on 5-11 with just two games left to play.
Things are a little less clear in the ultra-competitive Korean Spring Series section as they have only played 12 games out of the 18 so far. So far, ROX Tigers lead the way with an impressive 11-1 record, followed by Jin Air Green Wings (9-4), KT Rolster (8-4), CJ Entus (8-5), SK Telecom T1 (7-4) and Samsung Galaxy (7-5).
Longzhu Gaming (6-7) and Afreeca Freecs (4-7) could pull themselves into contention but Kongdoo Monster and SBENU Sonicboom are out of contention.
There is still plenty of betting available on all the Spring Series events across the glove over the coming weeks as the event comes to a close and the teams from each region that make it to the playoffs are known. Check out the latest eSports betting on your chosen site – Betway, 10bet, and Ladbrokes are just a few to choose from – to bet on this huge League of Legends feeder to the World Championships later this year.
