Professional Riot and League of Legends “benefit” from EWC
In 2024, Riot decided to allow Saudi Arabia to bring some NPH games into the first World Cup Esports World Cup in electronic sports history. Worth mentioning, EWC was initially considered to be “grass” because Riot has not been put into the official tournament system, and the number of participating teams is limited. Not to mention, EWC was held at the time between MSI and the new season that made many teams then not “salty”. But the huge bonus has made both the Esports community in general and League of Legends in particular think again. For the present time, League of Legends and Riot are receiving the clear benefits of EWC.
The success of EWC 2024 helps many of Esports and NPH benefits, typically League of Legends and Riot.
Specifically, according to some information confirmed by Riot, the bonus of MSI 2025 has increased sharply compared to 2024. Specifically, the championship team will receive 500k USD – 10 times the bonus for the championship (Gen.G) of 2024.
This was gossip and in many ideas, because EWC 2025 with the huge Prize Pool last year brought a large revenue for Riot and Esports corporations when he sent his team to play. Moreover, there was information that the Saudi Arabia region also had certain funding for Riot's official tournaments so that the NPH side continued to agree to let their games appear at EWC.
The bonus of MSI 2024.
To 2025 increased to at least 7.5 times and the highest landmark was the bonus for the champion 10 times more than 2024.
Beautiful prospects are waiting for EWC and League of Legends
One of the current EWC obstacles, perhaps the schedule when the tournament was held in a short time and at the time when the teams were chosen to fight at MSI. Therefore, the player will have less time to rest and this can completely affect the performance of the teams.
EWC is expected to be the official tournament in the system of eSports.
But in the future, EWC may have better organization options, the tournament is expected to become an annual event, located in the system of the great NPH. Because the revenue from EWC can help many teams maintain and develop in Esports and League of Legends in particular, especially in recent difficult economic years.
