Don\u2019t think eSports is a legitimate career choice? Well let\u2019s have a look at the largest prize pools in eSports history compared to traditional sports of today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We take a look at the largest prize pools in eSports for 2014-2015, in the most popular eSports titles. All figures are in USD, and are based off the single largest prize pool for each of the 5 major eSports titles, from 2014-2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2015 has been a massive year for eSports, especially the competitive level which has had a dramatic increase in prize pools reaching millions of dollars&nbsp;as a&nbsp;standard for&nbsp;big tournaments.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1 &#8211; Dota 2 &#8211; The International 2015 &#8211; $18,429,613<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fifth edition of The International, an eSports Dota 2 championship tournament, took place at KeyArena Center in Seattle, Washington. Hosted by Valve Corporation, the tournament began on May 25th with the qualifier phase and ended after the main event between August 3rd and August 8th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tournament awarded the biggest prize pool in eSports history, at over $18 million. The winning team, Evil Geniuses were&nbsp;awarded $6,634,660, with each player in the team taking home over $1.3 million each. This is a&nbsp;fairly large sum, which just becomes even larger after the same team months before this event, ended up taking out The Dota Asia Championships winning $1,284,158.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hell even for losing the grand final your team became millionaires\u2026 actually coming 3rd, 4th, 5th and even 6th made your team over a million!
