Esports Games by Total Prize Money Awarded
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Esports Games by Total Prize Money AwardedDota 2 leads all games with about 363.9 million dollars in total esports prize money, roughly 80 percent more than second-place Counter-Strike at 201.4 million. Dota 2's total was driven heavily by its annual world championship, The International, whose crowdfunded prize pools once reached record highs. Fortnite and League of Legends follow at 142.6 and 127.5 million, while two mobile titles, PUBG Mobile and Honor of Kings, both exceed 113 million, showing how mobile esports has grown into a major prize-money category. The lower half, from PUBG: Battlegrounds to Valorant, ranges between about 49 and 70 million. The spread illustrates how a small number of games, led by Dota 2, account for a disproportionate share of all esports winnings.
