Latest Gaming News - November 30th 2020, 07:01 GMT+1
LEC LOL

1. League of Legends

This MOBA title was released back in late 2009. Given the fact that Riot Games is an ambitious company, they pushed the esports side of LoL to the limits. They formed leagues for every region where the best teams compete to claim a spot in the regional playoffs plus a spot in the League of Legends World Championship. Let’s just say that LoL World Championship 2020 reached a peak of 3.882,252 concurrent viewers which is insane. When it comes to the prize pool, League of Legends dished out over $81.000,00 throughout 2,500 events.

2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive(CS:GO)

Counter-Strike was the first game to offer a professional scene, tournaments and prizes. Fast forward to 2020 and we have an esports that saw over 5,300 events played with over $100.000,000 in prize pool awarded. As for the viewership, CS:GO usually gets over 1.000,000 concurrent viewers for the big events while back in 2019, this FPS title was also played on national television in the USA.

Dota 2 the international

3. DotA 2

Despite many esports enthusiasts saying that DotA 2 is dead, we simply do not believe that. Truth be told, except The International, there is not much DotA 2 fans can enjoy, but boy, once TI goes live, every other event in esports is forgotten. Check these facts out. $228.227,224 in prize pool money won with only 1461 tournaments played. The International 2019 gathered around 2 million concurrent viewers and the biggest prize pool in esports history, $34.308,060.
