First, we will look into the competitive aspect of the game. All ESPORTS games have several well devised strategies, both to defend and attack the opponent's base. Both League of Legends and CS: GO features a variety of game modes, from the more traditional capture the flag or defense mode to more intense, time-consuming and skill-testing competitions like the Majors. There are several international tournaments held for both games, with the ESL one being the most prestigious. Not to mention, Valve has used its influence to allow various communities of gamers to create their own versions of these games, which are now being supported by the giant publisher.

In terms of fan interaction, League of Legends and CS: GO are both top-ranking when compared to other sports games. The World Team Games and The International are the two biggest sports events, with tens of thousands of spectators tuning in to watch. Compare that to the lesser known spectator game events of Dreamhack and Insomnia, whose sheer popularity means they attract just a fraction of the players.

When it comes to gameplay, both Counter-Strike and League of Legends feature incredibly dynamic gameplay with an incredible emphasis on objective-based games. They are both very different from each other, but they are also very complimentary to each other. The CS: GO tournament series, in particular, is the largest, withologne, London, ESL and Seatitsu leading the list. As you might expect, given the huge prize money involved, Counter-Strike tournaments are the biggest sports games around, with the largest prize purse usually awarded to the grand final, where the most talented team at the event is awarded the title.

As far as international tournaments go, CS: GO is currently the most popular. While there are a number of smaller European based tournaments, there are very few English speaking ones. This, in itself, makes them hugely hard to get tickets to and incredibly competitive to win, with players sometimes playing up to four hours each day, almost daily. The large prize pool and the huge exposure make this game one of the most exciting in terms of both skill and prize money, making it incredibly hard to ignore or be bored by.

When looking at how much people can earn from playing these sports games, there are some amazing statistics to look out for. CS: GO is the most popular game at the moment, earning over five million dollars in the first three months since it was launched. It's no surprise then that the prize money involved is huge, with big name companies such as Valve paying out over one and a half million dollars to six CS: GO players, with the majority of that cash coming from Valve-sponsored events. ESL, one of the most popular ESL television channels, are responsible for hosting numerous major tournaments each year, many of which feature top level teams and famous personalities. Not only do they make huge sums of money through the selling of tickets, they also have the final prize money to pay for the players' travel and living expenses.

The biggest and most notable tournaments take place in China, where players are treated like celebrities. The reason behind this is that there are numerous millions of people that can't be at home to watch these ESL events live, so they tune into their favourite game developed by companies like Valve and spectator sites to see what they're all about. There are several high profile Chinese tournaments each year, with some going over ten thousand dollars in prize money, making them one of the biggest spectator sport events in the world. The game developed by Valve, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, has had an equally massive following outside of China. This game features some of the best Counter-Strike players in the world, making it one of the more enjoyable Esports games to follow.
