Top 20 highest earning Overwatch pros of all time

As Overwatch goes through its OWCS era after the demise of OWL, many players have made big bucks at the top tier, so who are the highest earners in Overwatch?

While top-tier Overwatch pro play has existed since early 2016 with APEX, it didn’t really hit the forefront of everyone’s minds until the Overwatch League in 2018. With big franchises fronting big money to play in the League, no matter what esport you followed, it was hard not to take notice.

However, it all eventually crumbled, with the Overwatch Championship Series taking its place as an open circuit league where anybody could form a team and play at the top level.

The top 20 is dominated by former OWL champions. Former San Francisco Shock players make up the majority of the top earners, but plenty of others from the championship-winning Dallas Fuel and Shanghai Dragons make an appearance.

The only Western players who make an appearance are Super and Moth, thanks to their time with the Shock and their two back-to-back rings.

With hundreds of thousands on the line at every event, teams and players are always changing positions on the list.

This list only includes prize money that players have won while competing in Overwatch and does not include any earnings from other titles, or their salary from their respective organizations.

The full top 20 list, according to Liquipedia, can be found below.
