The distribution of prize money is as strategic as it is generous. While $30 million will reward the best of the best tournament winners, an additional $20 million is intended to help clubs nurture and develop eSports talent. This significant support underscores our commitment to the sustainable development of the esports ecosystem.
A separate $7.6 million has been allocated for qualifying alone, ensuring the path to the World Cup is as competitive as the main event. In addition, the MVPs of the tournament - those outstanding players who fascinate and inspire - will not be ignored. Each MVP will receive $50,000, for a total of approximately $1.1 million dedicated to individual excellence.
The Esports World Cup will be held in Riyadh. The dates of the tournament are still unknown, but the anticipation is already overwhelming.
