Tips

culture
In Chinese gaming context LOL almost always means 'League of Legends' (Chinese name 英雄联盟 Yīngxióng Liánméng), published in mainland China by 腾讯 (Tencent). The annual world championship is called S赛 (Season tournament). China-region (LPL) teams winning S-tournaments — IG (2018), FPX (2019), EDG (2021) — became major national news events.
register
Spoken as L-O-L (letter by letter) when meaning the game. The English chat sense ('lol = laughing') is borrowed too but less common than 哈哈 / 23333. Context disambiguates.
