Garena is the publisher of League of Legends in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia and eponymous organizer of the GPL. The league is broadcast on the internet via streaming platforms such as Twitch.tv and Youtube .

The competition was held for the first time in 2012 with prize money of 40,000 US dollars and six participating teams. The prize money was up to $ 200,000 per season, with three seasons ("Winter", "Spring" / "Spring" and "Summer" / "Summer") being played per year. The field of participants was last twelve teams. These are divided into two groups of six, with the first four teams moving into the round of 16. From there, the game continues in knockout mode. The playoffs took place in Singapore.

In parallel to the GPL, Garena is organizing national leagues in the Southeast Asian states with less prize money, which serve as qualifications for the GPL.

In early 2015 there was a major restructuring of the league. The teams from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau will play in a separate league called the League of Legends Master Series ( LMS ). In the future, only teams from Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia will play in the GPL. In addition, the rhythm will be changed from three to two seasons per year.
