Like we mentioned at the article – Esports Betting Malaysia, the world of eSports is primarily dominated by team-based games. While some single player tournaments do exist, such as FIFA and Starcraft, they’re not on the same scale as some of the other games out there. Also, Fortnite is technically a single player game, but you’re playing with 99 other people so we’ll include it.
Here’s a list of the most popular eSports games based on prize money, competitors, and viewers in no order:
- DOTA 2: 15 million peak viewers, 59 active teams, championship prize money $35 million and rising
- Fortnite: $30 million prize money, 40 million competitors, 2 million viewers
- League of Legends: 24 teams, peak of 44 million viewers, $7 million
- CS:GO: 40+ teams, $1 million from championship but they have lots of big tournaments, 1.2 million viewers
- Overwatch: 20 teams, $5 million, 300k viewers
- PUBG: $2 million, 20 teams, 800k viewers
