Do you ever wonder your self playing video games in one of the biggest gaming competitions and arenas? Or even wonder how a professional gaming player feels? Would it be cool? Or would it be nerve-racking? As we all know, there are numerous competitive gaming along different video games.. but when it comes gaming arenas.. You will be shocked on how big and serious a competitive gaming atmosphere can be!
The biggest gaming arena that created history for eSports is back in 2014, a League of Legends World Finals in Sang-am World Cup Stadium, Seoul hosted about 45,000 fans! It's crazy to think that a large amount of fans watch live competitive gaming and you can just imagine the total amount of fans watching across many stream sites! Sang-am World Cup Stadium is known to be Seoul's second largest arena and once been hosted by FIBA World Cup back in 2002. The 2014 World Championship featured 16 teams competing for a $2.13 million prize pool, with 14 teams qualifying from the primary League of Legends regions (China, Europe, North America, Korea and Taiwan/SEA) and two international wildcard teams.
In discussion with the prize pools, its crazy to think how a video gamer can use their skills and talents to earn HUGE amount of cash! However, with all the hardships and practice in similarities with many sports, it is understandable to see how some of the successful video professional players earned their position! The largest overall prize pool in the history of eSports is the game of DOTA 2 (The International). The International is similar as World Championships, as teams across the world come upon in one and fight for the throne! The International 2016 contained a prize pool of $20,770,640 among 16 different teams and 80 players in total.. and of course, only 1 team can obtain that throne!
