Gamers8 Club Leaderboard

In addition to the tournaments’ prize purses, Gamers8 will offer $5 million to the top-performing esports organizations at the festival. This fund will reward cross-title performance in an effort to determine “the best and most successful multi-gaming club in the world”.

According to the Saudi Esports Federation, this initiative aims to encourage investment in the esports industry and collaboration between organizations, players and publishers. And it seems to be paying off, as seen on July 6, when FaZe entered the fighting game scene with a pair of Tekken players who are competing in Riyadh.

Gamers8 will use a points-based system to determine the festival’s most successful organizations. Once all tournaments are over and the points have been tallied, the Gamers8 Club Awards will pay homage to the industry’s best organizations.

Below you can see how the $5 million will be distributed:

  • 1 – $1,500,000
  • 2 – $1,100,000
  • 3 – $800,000
  • 4 – $575,000
  • 5 – $425,000
  • 6 – $300,000
  • 7 – $200,000
  • 8 – $100,000
