Now E-sports becoming bigger and bigger every year which helps bring more events every year for all types of games, new or old – with January, February and March events already passed there is only one event in April, which is the Dreamhack Open, which is held in Rio de Janeiro and the game is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with a prize pool of $100,000 and eight teams competing.

Moving on to May, there are five events held throughout the month, first event starting on the 3^rd to 5^th which is the IEM Sydney, again a Counter-Strike event with the prize pool for first place is $100,000 but with the 2^nd and 3^rd place still able to pull in over $20,000: eight teams battle it out to take home the prize pool and stunning trophy.

The next we take a trip to London, for the CWL London event for Call of Duty with two events, one being an open tournament for the prize pool of $75,000 and the main event which is sixteen of the top, and famous Call of Duty teams – most iconic teams like OpTic, Envy and Luminosity – these teams will compete for the prize pool of $325,000 over three days.
