Top 10: Richest Players Of All Time

The esports millionaires club is an exclusive bunch. Very few players have crossed the threshold. In fact a total of 68 players have made the club to date. One game has contributed 89% of millionaire club entrants. Or maybe you can attribute this to one event.

What part of our lives does Google not want to know about? And then it dawned on me that we might be looking at it from the wrong perspective: what if Stadia isn’t a case of Google aggressively entering a new business sphere, but rather a defensive one to protect its existing kingdom?
