Esports Tournament Prizes In Indonesia Increase Up To 5x Within 1 Year.

In a span of less than a year, the average prize money for esports competitions in Indonesia has increased by 5 times, compared to the previous year. If last year, the average prize was around 6 million rupiah, now it has reached an average of 30 million rupiah.

Even more and more sponsors are giving very large prizes, such as several hundred million rupiah for one event.

It’s not just the large amount of prize money, but the number of gaming tournament organizer EOs who hold esports events is also increasing.

If in 2016, Indonesian gamers were quite happy to be able to participate in Esports Tournaments every 2-3 months, now in 2017, almost every month there are Esports tournaments, both medium and large scale.

In addition to medium or large scale events, even small scale events are mushrooming. Every week we can find events with prizes of 1.5 – 2.5 million rupiah, and without having a sponsor. Prize money, collected from the registration fee of the participants.

The number of events and the large number of prizes, of course, increasingly spoil the professional Esports players in Indonesia. Then tit is not surprising that in 2017, more and more new esports teams have emerged, who are enthusiastic about participating in various tournaments.

Even in the Dota 2 competition “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” held by Ligagame Esports 2 months ago, the maximum slot for 256 participating teams was full in less than 24 hours, since registration opened. This forced Ligagame to close the registration period, which was planned to be 3 days, to only 1 day.

But can the more events and the amount of prizes increase the achievements of Professional Esports players in Indonesia? Only time can answer this question.
