Online Games That can Make You Rich

Online games are some of the parts of the internet, and in 2010s, online gaming is a very big thing, it's not an easy thing to make to begin with, since every single year games become more enchanched, just like how technology always become better from time to time. However, unlike in 2000s, online gaming also become a career of professional player's life, because there are a lot of gaming tournament with a bucket load of prize pool. The highest prize pool yet in gaming tournament is 8.8 million USD for the winning team which is actually ridiculous.

Let's look back to our past time when our parents always told us not to play games when we were young, but now our era is different, with playing games we can earn money too. In this post, I will explain 2 games that can win you a lot of money.

Counter Strike : Global Offensive

---

Counter-Strike : Global Offensive, usually called CS:GO, is a multiplayer first person shooter (FPS) game that is developed by valve, it's the fourth game of the Counter-Strike franchise. CS:GO got much better graphic and much less bug than the older CS games. However, the gameplay is pretty much the same with the older games, the most popular map is still de_dust2 and the objective of that map is still defending/bombing the bombsite. Of course there are some addition such as zombie mode, new weapons, and etc, but most of the people prefer the original game mode over the new modes. Despite being more or less the same game as it's previous version, this game is still very popular to many of the FPS games fans, and of course there are tournaments for this game. The highest prizepool yet is 1.4 million USD in total in the ELEAGUE Season 1 Series.

DOTA 2

---

Dota 2 is a free-to-play Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) video game that is developed by Valve. Wait a minute, if there is dota 2, it means dota 1 exist? Yes. Prior to dota 2, dota 1 is a warcrafts's community game mod created by Icefrog, and dota it self is actually stand for (Defense of the Ancients). Just like how improved the graphics of CS:GO, Dota 2 also got an insanely beautiful graphics, but also the same as CS:GO, the objective of dota 1 and dota 2 is the same, your goal is always to destroy your enemy's throne, it never got changed. However, what made me think dota 2 is more interesting than CS:GO is because Dota 2 got it gameplay/patch updated hugely around every 3 months, and there will always be a little update every patch, making the game is not all static like Counter-Strike, that all you do is shoot your enemy for more than a decade already, but basically most of the characters or usually called heroes in dota 2 worked differently every time the patch got changed. Some of the heroes in dota can be very strong (overpowered) and some other heroes can be very weak in a patch but it could be the opposite when the patch got changed, that's what make dota is a very interesting game. Also, your objective is to destroy your enemy's throne, but there are hundred ways to destroy it, from the most realistic ways, to the most mind blowing way.

Do you want to make a guess to this online game highest prizepool yet? It's not 1 million, not 2, but over 20 million USD!!! This game can make you so rich if you are able to find a good team, and of course if you are good at this game too.

However, although it's very surprising that games can make you rich, you also have to realize that it's not easy to be a professional gamer. You need to work hard just like how every other sport players work for their tournaments, and just like sports, you won't get much if you and your team are not the best, or at least on top 10 best teams.

Maybe i have gone to far about what do you need to do after being a professional player, because being 1 of the professional players is already hard. In these 2 games that has been discussed, both of these games, and if you started playing alone, you will suffer because of the rude players, trolls, professionals that made new id, etc. How to avoid them? YOU CAN'T!!! If you meet those kinds of people in your games, what you need to do is to just ignore them and do your best for your team, like, you can't be unlucky forever, sometimes you will get bad teams, but there will be times when you get good teams, just don't play if you are in bad condition like stress because it will affect your gameplay. Always look for something new that will improve yourself, because in tournament learning very important. Lastly, if you want to be a professional player, you need to be determined for it, if not, you will never reach that point, but how if you are not determined? Just play for fun, that's it, like what games should have been the first time it was made.

1 more thing, if you live in countries that is listed on this link, your chance of being a pro player is already divided by at least 2, so, good luck with that :D

Good Luck and Have Fun!
