It's no secret that South Korea is the global leader in eSports. Three of the top four favorites for the 2016 League of Legends
World Championship hail from there, making South Korea a heavy –250
chalk to bring home the hardware for the fourth straight year. China is
second at +275, with North America a distant third at +1200.

The World Championship is being held in the United States this year,
starting September 29 in San Francisco and wrapping up October 29 with
the final at Staples Center in Los Angeles. This is a 16-team
round-robin tournament, broken down into four groups; the favorites, ROX
Tigers (+160), are in Group A, while the defending champions and second
favorites from SK Telecom T1 (+175) are in Group B. Both teams are
based in Seoul.
The top Chinese team, and third on the eSports futures market, is EDward
Gaming (+350) in Group C. Samsung Galaxy (+1600), who won the 2014
Championship as Samsung Galaxy White, is the remaining South Korean team
in Group D. This is easily the most competitive group of the four, with
America's Team SoloMid (+1600) and China's Royal Never Giveup (+1800)
also in the mix.
