How big is the bonus at Esports World Cup?
As is known, the 2024 World Cup Esports held in Saudi Arabia is the first World Cup tournament of Esports, and of course there are many shortcomings. However, the effect it is achieved is no need to argue when it has resonated and can even become a premise for a tournament like the Olympic Games next year, when IOC has “given a green light” for eSports. Moreover, the championship teams also create influence in Saudi Arabia and also have great bonuses. According to some information, the total bonus of T1 is about 525k USD (equivalent to more than 13 billion VND) – the figure is higher than the World Worlds Bonus 2023.

However, according to Keria, the bonus may be large for a tournament for League of Legends, but it does not affect too much for himself or the T1 players. Specifically, Keria shared in a recent interview: “The slogan of the 2024 Esports World Cup is associated with the bonus of “life change. But I don't think the bonus is so high. I did not feel what life changed later. “
But Keria acknowledged that this bonus has no impact on his life or teammates like EWC 2024's slogan “Life Change”
In fact, unlike some eSports, the League of Legends players almost regardless of the prize money. The teams will have their own salaries, accompanied by livestream contracts, advertising for brands. Particularly for a team like T1 and the famous player like Keria, his income is probably not completely dependent on the 2024 Esports World Cup (EWC 2024) or any tournament like MSI or Worlds.

Therefore, Keria's judgment probably does not mean to overlook the EWC 2024 bonus. Not to mention, as being a World Champion 2023, Keria and T1 teammates will have another significant income, once the team's Worlds 2023 outfit is officially launched in the near future.
