Cybersports was still a very popular sport, but in 2020 all the prestigious tournaments were moved online and this had an impact on the prize money. Two years after the outbreak of the pandemic, the danger of quarantine is still present, but overall the disciplines have almost returned to the level of income they had before. Moreover, the prospect of growth is felt, as can be seen in the odds at UK esports betting sites here, where up-to-date information on the best UK bookmakers is always available.
Prestigious tournaments in July
Traditionally, the prestigious IEM Cologne 2022 tournament takes place in the middle of the first decade of July. It starts on the 5th and ends on the 17th. The 24 best clubs in the world are taking part in the competition, and the prize fund is exactly one million dollars. One-third of the competitors will automatically qualify for the second round, while the remaining 16 teams will compete for eight more places in the Play-In round.
The tournament at the end of July has twice the prize money. The tournament is called the RLCS 2021-22 World Championship and is part of the Rocket League. The duration of the tournament is more fluid than the classic Cologne tournament and it will be held over nine days (22nd-31st of July).
The Apex Legends season finale also takes place during the hottest month of summer. It’s called the ALGS Championship 2022 and also has a prize pool of $2 million. The 40 teams who have finished first in the two regular seasons will compete for the title of world champion. The ALGS Championship 2022 will take place off-line for sure, but it’s not yet known in which city.
How to become an advanced eSports player
Understandably, many young people around the world would also like to participate in competitions with this kind of prize money, which will allow them to provide themselves with a serious level of affluence. Admittedly, no one will just take you among the best, at the very least you will need to pass the students league with sufficient practical skills to do so.
On the other hand, eSports disciplines like CSGO, League of Legends, Dota 2 and others are just sports for young people. So if you’re successful, you can quickly become one of the strongest. That’s why it pays to train every chance you get, building your skills not only competitively, but also in domestic mode.
