PUBG Global Championship 2019

Honor of Kings WC 2020

6. 2020 Honor of Kings World Champion Cup - Prize Pool: $4.6 Million. Honor of Kings is the most popular mobile MOBA and has even beaten Wild Rift... but both belong to Tencent anyway, so who cares really? | © Tencent

Lo L Worlds 2018

5. LoL Worlds 2018 – Prize Pool: $6.45 Million. Okay, this is where the money sums are starting to increase. We're just wondering why the prize pool in 2019 and 2020 was lower than before? | © Riot Games

PUBG Global Invitational S 2021

4. PUBG Global Invitational.S 2021 – Prize Pool: $7.1 Million. If these sums keep going up, we'll have to check just how much money Tencent is making! Just add together all of these prize pools, and you can't help but wonder how much they make! | © Tencent

Fortnite Worldcup 2019

3. Fortnite Worldcup 2019 – Prize Pool: $30.4 Million. Welcome to the big leagues. Now look here, over 30 million dollars and only third place? What can beat that? | © Epic Games

The International 2020

2. The International 2020 - Prize Pool: $34.3 Million. The International is known to break prize pool records. The best part? It's mostly all due to the community and their crowdfunding efforts. | © Valve

The International 2021

1. The International 21 – Prize Pool: $40.02 Million. Of course, Valve would only beat itself in this category. This insane prize pool of over 40 million dollars is thanks to the fans. | © Valve

So we've decided to take a peek at some of the biggest prize pools in esports history.
