League of Legends
League of Legends comes right after CS: GO. Here the record holder is Lee “Faker” Sang Hyeok from South Korea, who has raised more than $1.2 million. The final five leaders are Starcraft II, in which the best players can earn up to several hundred thousand dollars over a few years of professional career.
PUBG and PUBG Mobile
PUBG has one of the most international scenes in cybersport in terms of top teams. any major region can field the best team in the world on a good day, which isn’t something you take for granted when you remember South Korea’s long domination of League of Legends or StarCraft, for example. Last year’s prize money was around €14m and €12.7m respectively.
