Esports is constantly evolving. Tournament structures and prize pools vary—sometimes drastically. Organizations dependent on prize money often face inconsistency, but for some, these winnings are crucial injections for future growth and stability. Of course, winning a tournament brings more than just prize money. So, which esports organizations claimed the most earnings in 2024? Be ready for some surprises.
Here are the top 10 organizations by prize pool winnings, according to Esports Earnings:
Saudi Arabian organizations have heavily invested in rosters and expansions into various esports titles over the past few years. Nearly half of Team Falcons' prize money came from their Dota 2 roster (skiter, Malr1ne, ATF, Cr1t-, Sneyking), which won seven tournaments in 2024 alongside other high placements. Call of Duty: Warzone also proved lucrative, with over half a million dollars won in just three tournaments. A significant portion of their earnings came from the Esports World Cup 2024, hosted in Saudi Arabia, where they also won the Club Championship, earning an additional $7 million. Apex Legends, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, and Mobile Legends were other titles where they excelled.

One of esports’ most storied organizations, Team Liquid, earned the bulk of its prize money in Dota 2. Their historic undefeated run at The International 13 brought in over $3 million. They also achieved success in StarCraft 2 and League of Legends. By finishing second in the Club Championship at the Esports World Cup 2024, they secured an additional $4 million for the organization.
This Chinese organization, originally known for StarCraft 2, gained prominence through CrossFire. In 2024, nearly all their earnings came from Arena of Valor, where they won the King Pro League Summer 2024 and King Pro League Grand Finals 2024.
Wolves Esports is the esports division of the English Premier League’s Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. Most of their earnings in 2024 came from Arena of Valor, where they finished second in the King Pro League Grand Finals 2024. They also won the Teamfight Tactics tournament at the Esports World Cup, earning $250,000. Other notable performances came in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT and Rainbow Six Siege.
Team Spirit earned nearly $2 million in CS2, highlighted by their victory at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. Additional wins at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 and IEM Katowice 2024 contributed to their earnings. Their Dota 2 roster added to the total, despite not winning any major tournaments.

G2’s diverse presence across games brought in substantial earnings. Over $1.4 million came from their CS2 roster, led by their win at the BLAST Premier: World Final 2024. Their League of Legends dominance in the LEC added around $400,000, with the rest coming from Rainbow Six Siege, Rocket League, VALORANT, and more.
As runners-up at The International 13, Gaimin Gladiators' Dota 2 roster accounted for most of their earnings. Their Apex Legends team also performed well, although they didn’t secure any titles in 2024.
Known for their past success in League of Legends, this Chinese organization earned most of its 2024 prize money in titles like CrossFire and Arena of Valor. However, specific breakdowns of their earnings remain unclear.
NAVI’s remarkable CS2 run in 2024 brought in over $1.6 million, starting with their win at the PGL Copenhagen Major 2024. Competing in multiple titles, they earned additional prize money in games like Clash of Clans, which contributed $100,000.

FaZe Clan, true to its roots as a Call of Duty clan, dominated FPS titles like CS2, HALO, PUBG, and Rainbow Six Siege. Despite not competing in lucrative games like Dota 2 or Arena of Valor, their focus on shooters earned them a spot in the top 10.
Are you surprised by the list? Did you expect names like All Gamers and Wolves Esports to rank so high, despite being relatively unknown in the West? This highlights the global nature of esports, with regional heavyweights like Arena of Valor complementing global giants like League of Legends.
