As already mentioned, Dota 2 players are the richest of all cybersportsens. N0tail is the highest paid player in this field. He won two tournaments of The International, and exactly two years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before these victories with the OG team, he was a member of the Fnatic team, which also brought him a good amount of prize money in other tournaments. Therefore, this player is the highest paid esports player.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

JerAx is the last Dota2 player to be on this list. We will not include the entire OG team here, it is strange if the TOP 10 will consist of half of the players of the same team. It is worth saying that OG has been the strongest team in tournaments for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now this player is not an active participant in tournaments, as he himself puts it, he has a “pension”. But as of 2020, his earnings from the game amounted to 6.5 million dollars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chess grandmaster is the highest paid in 2020 in a single sport. In 2020, there was no famous TI tournament, which affected all players, so the list of highly paid chess players has changed a lot if we compare the data with last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The player became a participant in 43 tournaments, earning a total of about
590,000 US dollars. Of course, if you compare it with other figures, it seems that this is a small amount. But for chess, this is a very good result.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
