It is better to be realistic. Participating in competitions for the prize money may sound a bit mercenary, but it is actually a way to reward hard work. Besides, the team needs funds to operate. From training to competitions, every process is burning money. Strength and talent are one thing, but without the support of a sponsor, without investment from advertisers, without the support of fans, and without social media traffic, it is really difficult to make it to the international stage.
The e-sports industry is developing rapidly, and the scale of competitions is getting bigger and bigger. It has transformed from the controversial issue of sports to a field that the business community is vying to get involved in. It even holds its own World Cup called EWC, the full name of which is Esports World Cup. It is an international competition that covers 25 game projects, including PUBG: Mobile, PUBG, CS2, League of Legends, DOTA 2, Street Fighter 6, Valorant, etc., all of which are extremely popular competitive games.
How much will the prize pool be for the tournament that has attracted worldwide attention? The official finally answered everyone's questions and announced the prize pool amount for the tournament, which is a total of 70 million US dollars. Of course, this is not all won by the winning team, but is distributed regularly, 38 million US dollars will be distributed to all 25 game project prizes, 450,000 US dollars will be distributed to the MVP players of each tournament, and 5 million US dollars will be arranged as the EWC qualifier prize.
