Esports Prize Money by Game
Competitive gaming's money race, tracking total prize winnings paid out per title since the modern esports era began. Dota 2's crowdfunded International tournaments detonate the all-time totals, while Counter-Strike, League of Legends and Fortnite build empires of their own. Bars are cumulative, so each season's tournaments stack onto a game's running total.
