World Electronic Sports Games (WESG) is among the longest-running and high paying esports tournaments in the world. Each year, the Chinese event brings lots of money up for grab for every attending nation. A total of $5.5 million will be up for grab across multiple esports events.
This year’s WESG CS:GO took place on March 2018 with a victory for the Bulgarian side Windigo. They won the grand prize of $500,000 after defeating the likes of MIBR, G2 Esports, and AGO Esports. However, the prize money has yet to be paid to the Windigo organization before they disbanded earlier last month, citing the delay of payment as one major reason.
