The Korean network broke the news of the Saudi Arabian E-sports World Cup, and the sky-high prize pool subverts cognition, which is more valuable than the S game
At the beginning of this year, it was reported that the first E-sports World Cup held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, this year will include the "League of Legends" project, which is undoubtedly good news for the major LPL teams that are in the "e-sports winter", after all, the predecessor of the E-sports World Cup was nicknamed the "Oil Cup", which caused heated discussions last year with a total prize pool of up to 45 million US dollars, and the E-sports World Cup (EWC) hosted by Saudi Arabia claims to provide "the largest prize pool in the history of e-sports" This also makes people very excited and excited about the exact amount of the prize pool that will be announced in the end.
On March 30, the official Twitter of the Riyadh Esports World Cup officially announced the selection of the LOL project, and then the LPL audience began to discuss the qualification for this competition and the prize pool of the LOL project. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that T1 in the LCK region has received an invitation to the Esports World Cup, but is still in discussions and has not confirmed their participation in the event. As for the bonus, the specific amount has not yet been announced, but a Korean Internet viewer posted an article breaking the news that the prize pool of the E-sports World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabia this time is very exaggerated.
According to the revelations of Korean Internet viewers, the prize pool of the Esports World Cup held by Saudi Arabia last year exceeded 60 billion won, which was about 150 times the total prize money of the LCK Summer Tournament in the same period, and it was a huge prize of more than 300 million yuan. Last year's Esports World Cup alone had a total prize pool of $1,500w in Dota 2 alone, so the prize pool for the LOL project in this Esports World Cup is likely to be quite staggering.
With the heated discussion about the prize pool of the Esports World Cup held in Saudi Arabia this summer, many LPL viewers also joked: "This is really the most valuable game." "For many teams, in the face of such a competition with a super high prize pool, they may pay more attention to the E-sports World Cup than MSI, and many players have also said in the live broadcast that they hope to have the opportunity to participate in the E-sports World Cup in Saudi Arabia because of the high prize money.
