The League Awards, founded and hosted by Eefje ‘Sjokz’ Depoortere and Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont, has returned for 2025 with a full slate of categories recognising standout performances across League of Legends esports.

Fan voting for all awards is currently open and will run until November 24th, ahead of the live ceremony on November 28th at 6pm CET on Caedrel’s Twitch channel.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
