In 2018, the three largest established esports all awarded more money than in years’ prior, but a couple of surging battle royale titles managed to sneak into the year’s top five esports games ranked by total prize pool, based on data collected by Esports Earnings.

All told, the year’s top 10 games awarded more than $130M USD in total prizing. Here are 2018’s biggest esports games, ranked in order of highest total prize pool from all events tracked by Esports Earnings.

10. Call of Duty: WWII

2018 Prize Pool: $4.17M

As is tradition, Activision’s Call of Duty: WWII had its one year in the esports spotlight before being replaced by the next annual entry, October’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. WWII was the game of choice for the Call of Duty World League’s 2018 season, and while the historical shooter wasn’t considered a series favorite by many pro players, it still provided the battleground for more than $4M in prizing during the year.

9. StarCraft II

2018 Prize Pool: $4.53M

It’s the oldest of Blizzard Entertainment’s games on this list, but real-time strategy smash StarCraft II still awarded more than $4.5M in 2018. In total, there were 12 tournaments with at least $100K up for grabs, and it was Blizzard’s own StarCraft II World Championship Series finals at BlizzCon that topped the list with a $1.4M prize pool. There are bigger esports today, even in Blizzard’s own stable, but StarCraft II continues to thrive.

8. Hearthstone

2018 Prize Pool: $4.95M

Blizzard’s competitive card game saw a 42.3% increase in prizing in 2018, with January’s official Hearthstone World Championship 2017 making the biggest impact with its $1M prize pool. That said, 2018 also saw five other tournaments or season splits with prize pools above $500K, while 2017’s largest Hearthstone event topped out at $332K.

7. Heroes of the Storm

2018 Prize Pool: $6.52M

Heroes of the Storm awarded a little bit less money in 2018, down from $6.7M in 2017, but next year will award dramatically less. That’s because Blizzard just ended the Heroes of the Storm Global Championship (HGC), the core of the game’s pro scene and the source of the vast majority of prize money in 2017. Without the HGC, the MOBA’s esports scene has been officially abandoned.

6. Overwatch

2018 Prize Pool: $6.7M

With the launch of the Overwatch League, Blizzard’s Overwatch nearly doubled its 2017 prizing ($3.56M). The OWL itself accounted for $3.5M of that, with just over $2.1M awarded in the lower-tier Overwatch Contenders league. OWL attracted plenty of hype in 2018, but with a league structure that mimics traditional sports and lacks a typical World Championship tournament like in other esports, the total prize pool fell well short of this year’s top four. Next season’s $5M OWL prize pool could nudge it higher up the list, however.

5. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

2018 Prize Pool: $6.73M

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) maker PUBG Corporation got serious about esports in 2018, with the battle royale shooter blowing past the $1.01M tally from 2017. July’s PUBG Global Invitational 2018 topped the list with $2M in total prizing, with another $586K doled out during qualifiers. Next year should see significant international expansion for PUBG esports, and we’ll have to see whether the prize pools grow in kind.

4. League of Legends

2018 Prize Pool: $14.12M

The difference between the top four and the rest of the list is staggering, with League of Legends (LoL) awarding more than double the total prize pool of the previous game. LoL continued its upward ascent in 2018, with a $2M increase over 2017’s sum, and $6.45M of the year’s total coming from the recent LoL World Championship. Of course, those tallies pale in comparison to another MOBA coming later on this list.

3. Fortnite

2018 Prize Pool: $19.96M

Epic Games committed $100M to Fortnite prize pools during the 2018-19 season, and we saw nearly $20M of that come through by the end of 2018. Fortnite was inescapable this year, with streamers and celebrities helping to catapult the free-to-play battle royale hit into the mainstream consciousness, and Epic spent the back half of the year experimenting with big-money tournaments and competitive formats. If the publisher’s prize pool funding goal carries through, then 2019’s tally will increase at least fourfold.

2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

2018 Prize Pool: $22.47M

This year saw no shortage of significant Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) tournaments, with Esports Earnings tracking 370 of them, large and small. On the top end, the World Electronic Sports Games (WESG) 2017 awarded $1.67M total between men’s and women’s tournaments, plus there were six more events with prize pools at or just above the $1M mark. CS:GO has seen an annual prize pool increase of about $3M for two straight years now.

1. Dota 2

2018 Prize Pool: $41.26M

No surprise here: Dota 2 has awarded the most all-time prize money to date, with each year’s The International tournament (the de facto world championship) topping the previous year’s pool via crowdfunding. In 2018, that single-event prize pool was a staggering $25.5M, but there were also nine other tournaments with a prize pool of at least $1M. Dota 2 has long been the annual leader, although Epic’s promised Fortnite prize pool push could see that game take over the list in 2019.
