The Esports World Cup (EWC) is about to make gamers richer than many of the athletes who actually play the games.
The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) announced a prize pool of more than $70 million, making the virtual event the most lucrative of its kind.
The EWC will feature competitive gamers from across the globe and will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 7 to August 24.
“The record-breaking $70+ million prize pool, along with our commitment to the Club Partner Program and our multi-year publisher agreements, is a privilege to announce and validation of our purpose to elevate the industry, by giving players, clubs, publishers and all other stakeholders the stability needed to invest for future success,” Esports World Cup CEO Ralf Reichert said
