World Brawl Stars 2020: 1 million cash prize!

esport is above all a story of performance, competition and talent. But it is also about money, in an ecosystem that is developing but remains precarious. If the pro players do not play for the tickets, the rewards tournaments remain important. All the more so as careers are short. Thanks to the community, the 2020 Brawl Stars World will offer more than 1 million dollars in cash-prizes. This is still a far cry from DotA 2 The International tournament which enjoyed over 34 million in 2019, but the sum is still nice, especially for a mobile game.

As a reminder, the Brawl Stars 2020 World Championship will be held on 21 and 22 November in a studio in Katowice (Poland). A week before the start of the tournament, this news should delight and further increase the motivation of the qualified teams. Find out all the important information in our guide to this top tournament.

Brawl Stars World Cash Prize: the road to the million

Originally, the Brawl Stars 2020 World Championship was "only" endowed with 500,000 dollars. Why has the cash prize doubled to over a million dollars? Don't worry, you haven't had one too many. This magic is explained by the reward system used by Supercell, the game's publisher.

The community of amateur players has indeed actively participated in increasing the cash prize of the competition. We would have preferred to participate directly in matches, but it's not bad! The publisher sold specific packs in-game: pin pack ($10.99), world finals pack ($3.49) and skin of Colt "Challengeur" ($5.49). All of these purchases were added directly to the Brawl Stars 2020 World Cash Prize. The cosmetic items were not particularly expensive, but it was the sheer volume of buyers that added to the total. Slowly but surely, the million mark was reached. But beware: this is also a maximum mark. It cannot be exceeded, as future purchases will not increase the rewards for the qualified teams.

A pin to reward buyers

Some may say that this is the least they could do, but it was not mandatory. To thank its community, Supercell has decided to offer a special pin to all those who participated in this great fundraiser. Whatever the value of the pack purchased, everyone will receive it. Delivery is scheduled for next week, before the start of the Brawl Stars 2020 World Championship!
