2020 has been the year where everything moved online, but one industry has dominated the internet for much longer – Esports.
With the rise in interest and investment in esports teams across the globe, online casino site SlotsUp has ranked the top 50 Esports teams across the world. The aim – to find out who is the most successful Esport team to date and who has rising potential in the field.
To create the index, the teams were scored on several different factors. The combined score of the teams 2020 and overall earnings generates the ‘Money Makers’ score. By combining the scores we can see a clearer picture of newer teams climbing up the Esports ladder.
The ‘hardest working’ score looks at the number of official tournaments a team has earned their winnings from. Researchers also looked at a team’s social influence and how often they are searched for on Google.

- Highest earning team of 2020: Dallas Empire earned $1,784,504 this year.
