Having won the Intel Grand Slam after only five events<\/a> and pocketed $1,000,000 prize money, Team Liquid have cemented their status as the highest-earning esports organization in the world.<\/p>\n

Liquid lead the pack with US $28,199,060, which is more than $4 million above second-placed Evil Geniuses. While that should come as no surprise given Liquid own 24 professional gaming teams, it is the franchise’s recent performances in the Counter-Strike esports<\/a> scene that has pushed that figure towards the $30m mark.<\/p>\n

Out of all their teams, Team Liquid’s Dota esports<\/a> squad is by far the most successful when it comes to bringing home prize money. While they are now a far cry from their impressive 2017 season, they boast with an impressive $17,999,599 in earnings across seven years.<\/p>\n

The second-most profitable esport for Team Liquid is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where their team has earned $3,703,875 across four years. Over half of that (50.18%) has come in 2019 alone, amounting to $1,858,700. Four title wins in the span of a month have earned the team $1,475,000 since June, which has made Liquid’s CS:GO roster one of the richest in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan “ELiGE” Jablonowski currently sits 15th in the CS:GO player earnings list with $766,096 in winnings to his name, while Nick “nitr0” Cannella is ranked 13th with $775,451. In 11th place is Keith “NAF” Markovic on $802,611, almost $100k short of 10th-placed Jake “stewie2k” Yi – TL’s highest-paid player with $917,790 in career prize money. It is worth noting that stewie2k is only $22.4k short of MIBR star Epitacio “TACO” de Melo in sixth place.<\/p>\n

Team Liquid and their players could make another jump in the standings with further success at the upcoming BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles, IEM Chicago, or by winning their first-ever CS:GO Major at the StarLadder Berlin Major at the start of September. <\/p>\n

Should Liquid’s good form continue, stewie2k and others could eventually surpass their Astralis counterparts who hold the top five places in the CS:GO money rankings. <\/p>\n

Andreas “Xyp9x” H\u00f8jsleth leads the way with $1,474,921, ahead of Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen ($1,471,722), Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz ($1,439,223), Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander ($1,305,984) and Emil “Magisk” Reif ($1,065,281).<\/p>\n

Astralis also top the pops for total CS:GO team earnings with $6,687,418 to their name, with Team Liquid still around $3m behind despite their recent boom.<\/p>\n
