E-sport e-sports has made great progress in recent years. Especially the prize value of the world’s leading e-sport tournaments has increased dramatically, making traditional sports somewhat inferior.

In The 2019 International Tournament of Dota 2, the total value of the prize has surpassed the record of 34.3 million USD. And OG has become the champion team, breaking the previous curse that no team can win TI for the second time.

OG’s victory helped each player bring in 3.1 million USD, with the total prize for the TI 9 champion team is 15.6 million USD. Last year, OG was also the champion of The International 2018, and brought in a total of $ 11.2 million prize, corresponding to each player with $ 2.24 million.

Even Tiger Woods can only bring in $ 2.07 million, after winning The Master 2019. Or player Novak Djokovic, who excelled at winning the legendary Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final 2019, also earned $ 2.9 million in prize money.

The Liquid team, who lost to OG in the final of TI 9 to take second place, also won a $ 4.4 million award. Equivalent to each player get about 892,000 USD. Those are huge bonuses.

Looking at these numbers, you will definitely want to start a professional gaming career. But admittedly, The International is the only major tournament in a year, so competition is extremely fierce. Not to mention the game career is very short, when e-sports always require quick reflexes, but older players will often be unable to keep up with the youth.

Even so, through tournaments like The International 2019 or Fortnite World Cup, we can see that e-sports is gaining worldwide recognition and gradually becoming a multi-billion dollar industry.
