Overwatch World Cup 2019 Prize Pool: How Much Was Awarded?

Overwatch World Cup 2019 prize pool wasn't publicly announced as it was previously.

Blizzard hasn't announced the financials, but here's how it was in the past. The Overwatch World Cup concluded this weekend and many have been wondering, what did the participants receive from a prize pool? Blizzard has not released the prize pool for this year but this is what we can speculate.

Overwatch World Cup 2019 Prize Pool: How Much Was Awarded?

In the 2018 Overwatch World Cup, eight teams were slated to play for a trophy driven more by pride and competition than money. All eight teams received $16,000 for participating in the event with additional money added based on the team's success. Splitting the $16,000 among teammates does not seem like a lot per player, although, an additional $90,000 was awarded to each of their group stage events. The 2018 Overwatch World Cup would total a prize pool worth $488,000.

Blizzard didn't publicly reveal how much money was awarded to each team and player in the latest iteration. Perhaps Blizzard is trying to promote the prestige behind the OWWC instead of the money awarded.
