IDF is not committing genocide in Palestine, not to say Israel isn't doing anything wrong, Ukraine and Palestine are not remotely comparable.
We should stick discussions to StarCraft

Guessed price money estimates from gaming websites:
Dota2 (5 Mio. $)
Honor of Kings PUBG Mobile Mobile Legends (each 3 Mio. $).
Rainbow Six Siege APEX Legends PUBG Battlegrounds (each 2 Mio. $)
Street Fighter 6 Tekken 8 StarCraft 2 Overwatch 2 EA Sports FC 24 Counter-Strike 2 League of Legends (each 1 Mio. $)
They really go for the young generations with all these worthless mobile games.... Easier to manipulate for sportswashing probably

HoK is the most popular mobile MOBA in the world from Tencent, Mobile Legends is huge in South America and South East Asia, these inclusions don't surprise me.

Saudi Arabia is pretty good at sportswashing, they will make sure that it is save for every competitor. For fans...probably not as much.

It's in Saudi Arabia. The government routinely tortures and kills people (including tourists) for existing while being LGBT+ among other things.

Why would LoL only be $1M? Isn't it still the biggest esport in the world?

Haha yeah I'm just annoyed. They probably have a way bigger playerbase than all PC games. Like the generation before couldn't cope with "earning money by playing PC games", I cannot cope with "earning money by playing mobile games" :D

These are the numbers I came across. Will have to wait for official numbers to really know. I mean Rainbox Six above Counterstrike and LoL does seem strange

League of Legends will mostly be a "showmatch tournament" in some capacity. Riot actually needed a fair amount of time until they even allowed League-participation in the EWC. Of course they don't want a tournament that could potentially offer more money than MSI or Worlds.

LoL, DotA 2 and Counter-Strike 2 are three most popular e-sport games but only one of them is getting a 5 mil tournament while two of them get smaller prize pools than.. Rainbow Six Siege and.. PUBG Battlegrounds?
Bizarre. Makes zero sense.

I think the post immediately above yours is pretty reasonable speculation

The snub is crazy.

Riot doing Riot things again lol.
Fits the vibe of them rejecting being at any tournaments that Dota2/SC2 was at when it was on the rise (forget if it was both games or just Dota2).

Chad Riot doesn't want to deal with Saudi Arabia Although with their treatment of women they'd probably get along just fine

From that perspective, there probably should be more Blizzard games in SA.
