Betindex.bet : The Highest Paid eSports Games in the World
The esports industry is growing extremely fast, and is expected to cost over $ 1,500,000,000 by end of 2020.
Esports are recognized by more and more people around the world for sports, because just like football and boxing, they require intensive training, skills and strategies. All professional players and teams spend a lot of time training – the goal is to become better in their sport, to be ready for all possible situations and to be able to beat their opponents.
Of course, each game requires different skills – some games require just strategic skills, others require speed and reflexes, and some require both. For team games such as Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where teams consist of 5 people, it is extremely important to properly communicate between players, which is achieved only with a lot of sweat and strong nerves.
Esports are paid a lot, and a recent example of this is a player who became a millionaire after winning first place at the prestigious Dota 2 The International 7 tournament.
Here are the top 5 highest paid games in e-sports:
1. Dota 2 – a total of $ 126,040,094 paid out of 772 tournaments
