Esports World Cup Foundation’s Post

These stats present some very thought-provoking facts for esports and the future: 1. MOBAs continue to retain the largest prizepool (which has been a trend), but Battle Royale has displaced FPS (which does seem to be a global trend) as the next big genre. FPS comes in at a close third. 2. Desktop continues to retain the Lion's share of Prizepool 3. The prizepool share and growth also highlights / hints at different commercial structures that the EWC may have established with different publishers (Disclaimer: This is my inference and I may be wrong) Would love to hear other experts thoughts on this.

The Esports World Cup 2024 boasts a life-changing $60 million prize money across 22 tournaments. But how exactly will this record prize pool be distributed and which games will it help set new records? The game with the highest prize money at the Esports World Cup 2024 is Dota 2, which is giving away a massive $5,000,000 at the Riyadh Masters 2024. Alongside MLBB, it is the only title to contribute more than ten percent to the overall purse at this multinational extravaganza. When it comes to genres and platforms, MOBA and Battle Royale account for over 25% of the total earnings, with FPS being the only other mode to cross 10% by share with a total purse of $5,800,000. Perhaps most interesting is the impact of #EWC 2024 to the overall total prize pool of all the titles present at the event. Names like Teamfight Tactics, Rennsport, COD: Warzone, Tekken, StarCraft II, and Street Fighter have all experienced a significant increase in their yearly prize pool thanks to this tournament.

The Paris Olympics are centre stage this week, but did you know there is another?   The Olympic Esports Games are officially happening. Although it isn't scheduled until 2025 in Saudi Arabia, it signals a new era for the International Olympic Committee – IOC who have been experimenting with the implementation of esports for the past few years.   School Sport NZ indicated that there has been a decline in rates of students with a school sports programme from 56% to 51%, coupled with NZ’s gaming industry expecting to hit $1 billion in exports by 2025, according to the NZ Game Developers Survey.   Will this put gaming at the same level as the Winter and Summer Olympics?
