Champions Are Crowned in Overwatch League Grand Finals

It had the atmosphere of a college football game, with legions of fans screaming for their favorite team. Thousands of people turned out to the Overwatch League Grand Finals in Philadelphia, as the Vancouver Titans squared off against the San Francisco Shock. The winner took home a trophy and a $1 million prize. The competition’s success shows the growing popularity of esports. Some spectators even cosplayed for the big event, which was broadcast live on ABC. #InsideEdition

1.1 million dollars after taxes.... And split it with the whole group... $10 each ...

[@jaspermacnevin7957]

Legend27 I’m exaggerating saying that each individual won’t get much money after taxes and splitting it with the group

[@cutecutedits3854]

jasper macnevin each player could get $100,000 or more. Learn your tax knowledge

Grace Shade probably because it was such a big event, held in Philadelphia in the Wells Fargo arena (a popular arena) and the possibly want to branch out to cover more , and its good to see a video game get good news (cough cough fortnite), which got bad news.

Because most people decided to ignore the growth thinking it wouldn't go far until it was rubbed right in their faces. Plus, America is late to the party. You'd be surprised knowing how many people actually don't know this even exists in 2019.

[@its_doom]

Litterally wish that inside edition could stop this. They act shocked when they realize people watch people play video games. It annoys me so much. I hated inside Edition over the years because of their cringe worthy jokes at the end of their videos. Now they’re trying to get cool for more money. Inside Edition is NOT fit to have coverage on Video Game related events. I was there and I didn’t see them at all even know they were in the same section I was at. I really hope that they don’t come to NYCC
