Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

That e-sports a pretty lucrative business, it no secret is made with the best intentions. Most carbon sink of course an organizer and the company behind-present video games, but also the prize money of each player can be more than excellent.

The first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (buy now) is no exception. Six-digit amounts are not uncommon here and so cavort in the top 20 numerous players, scrape the either the million mark, or have already left with flying colors behind.

So much prize money have the top 20 earners in CS: GO so far bagged

Especially in relation to each individual list places are exciting. During the last five places are just under the million mark, the first places are almost arrived at twice the amount. However, the list reflects above all successes of the past: The first three places are in fact the three players who in 2018 obtained the first time more than one million dollars in prize money.

2. Xyp9x (Denmark) $ 1,906,980.23

1. dev1ce (Denmark) $ 1,898,931.54
2. gla1ve (Denmark) $ 1,759,142.41

6. s1mple (Ukraine) $ 1,173,238.65 7. Stewie2k (USA) $ 1,159,840.00 8. traps (Brazil) $ 1,112,438.92 9. TACO (Brazil) $ 1,081,958.27 10. fer (Brazil) $ 1,063,838.92 11.

KrimZ (Sweden) $ 886,123.34

Particularly striking: Even if it is quite variance at the origin of the players, the list is identified only by a total of six areas. First and foremost is represented several times by far Denmark, but also the neighboring country of Sweden. In addition, the geographical siblings Canada and the United States can anchor, while Russia and Brazil are also represented several times.

Of course, it is in the list only a snapshot and each upcoming tournament can not and will not only numbers, but also the players and thus the entire list change. Nevertheless, in addition to the individual players especially current places of origin and figures interesting information, not only for CS: GO fans.
