League of Legends is one of the biggest esports in the world, and the top teams are stacked with talent. Whether it’s dominating laning phases, executing perfect team fights, or making game-winning macro plays, the best teams separate themselves with skill and strategy. But in LoL, rankings shift fast—roster changes, meta shifts, and regional dominance all play a role.
For bettors, understanding team strength is key. The best teams don’t just win—they consistently outperform expectations. Knowing which squads dominate in different situations can give you an edge when betting on LoL tournaments. Even if you’re not placing wagers, following the top teams helps you understand the game at a deeper level.
This page ranks the top five League of Legends teams right now. You’ll see what makes them great, their biggest strengths, and why they’re the teams to watch. If you want to stay ahead in the world of LoL, these rankings matter.
G2 eSports League of Legends – 5th Place
Let’s kick things off with a team that has overcome an interesting amount of drama to get where they are today. Despite having a tough time at international events and literally losing 80 percent of their team at one point, G2 eSports has overcome these issues and looks to continue overcoming adversity and making a name in the competitive scene.
Plus, they are currently ranked in the top 10 best League of Legends teams by a website called LoL Betting Sites. Which, judging by the name, probably means you should bet on them. Let’s see how they perform in the upcoming summoner battles.
SK Gaming League of Legends – 4th Place
You know that person that shows up to every party you go to and is always nice, funny, and generous? Well, that’s not me. But SK Gaming definitely fills that role, as the team has currently participated in a total of 75 League of Legends tournaments. You read that right, 75! When you combine the amount of tournaments that SK Gaming and I have participated in, it’s… well, still 75. But that is a lot nonetheless!
The team also has plenty of diverse players, with participants from Brazil, the U.S., Sweden, Korea, and more. SK Gaming also plays a ton of different games, such as Warcraft III, Counter-Strike, and CS: Source. Still no word on if they’re any good at Pac-Man though. In any case a solid team across the whole eSports gamma.
Kingzone DragonX League of Legends – 3rd Place
You know how I was just praising SK Gaming for appearing in all those tournaments? Well, this team’s a little different. You see, they’ve only participated in four LOL tournaments. WAIT, I HAVE A REASON! Despite this small sample size, Kingzone DragonX has won over $400,000 in those tournaments alone.
Additionally, they currently rank in the Top 25 earning LOL teams with those mere four appearances. Why else do I have them ranked this high? Well, they have a really cool name that just sounds like a heavy-thrashing metal band. I have to give credit where credit is due. Will take note of how they perform during the year!
Royal Never Give Up League of Legends – 2nd Place
Now, if there’s something I’m personally not the best at, it’s focusing. For example, there was one time that I left the house just to go get a bag of potato chips and accidentally sunk my life savings into a timeshare on the way. Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, focus. Well, one team that definitely does not share this struggle is Royal Never Give Up, who focus 96.22% of their gaming on League of Legends.
The rest is spent on some obscure games called PUBG, Dota 2, and Hearthstone. Whatever those are. With a main focus on League of Legends and ranking in the top 5 earning teams for the game, Royal Never Give Up is one team you shouldn’t give up on.
SK Telecom T1 League of Legends – 1st Place
Was it difficult crowning the greatest LOL team in the world? Yes. Did I crumble under the pressure a bit? Yes. But I’m stronger for it. SK Telecom T1 has a number of reasons for being ranked number one. And, unlike Kingzone DragonX, they didn’t have a cool name to rest on. One of the factors that makes this team rank so high is their overall earnings, which currently rank first and eclipse every other team on this list.
This definitely makes them worth watching on betting sites such as EBG. And what else does this super rich team have going for them? They happen to have a player that some consider the greatest in the game in Sang Hyeok Lee, better known as Faker. The world’s greatest player on the world’s greatest team? That’s just a little unfair, don’t you think?
The Best Teams Shape the Game
League of Legends is always evolving, but the best teams set the standard. They master the meta, adapt to patches, and prove themselves against the toughest competition. Whether it’s a dynasty maintaining dominance or an underdog rising through the ranks, these teams define what peak LoL gameplay looks like.
For fans, following the top squads is the best way to stay connected to the game’s highest level. If you’re learning to bet on League of Legends, understanding these rankings can help make smarter predictions when placing wagers on major tournaments. Knowing how teams perform under pressure, their playstyle strengths, and their track record against top opponents gives you an edge.
Esports moves fast, and today’s rankings won’t last forever. But right now, these are the teams setting the pace. Whether you’re watching for the skill, the strategy, or the bets, one thing is clear—League of Legends is never short on top-tier competition.
