Fantasy Esports Website Vulcun Increases Prize Pool to $1 Million
Fantasy esports website Vulcun has announced that it will be awarding $1 million in prizes to players of its fantasy games this year. This is a huge increase from the $250,000 that was originally guaranteed at its launch just three weeks ago ‘http://www.dailydot.com/esports/fantasy-league-of-legends-vulcun-prize/’.
Fantasy Sports Meets Esports
Fantasy sports is a billion-dollar industry, with popular site FanDuel giving out $400 million in prizes last year alone. Companies like Vulcun are trying to bring this same concept to esports. Vulcun offers daily fantasy games based on the League Championship Series, a professional League of Legends competition hosted by Riot Games ‘http://www.dailydot.com/tags/league-championship-series/’.
Daily Competitions for Every Type of Player
Unlike other fantasy esports offerings, Vulcun features bite-sized daily competitions instead of season-long leagues. There are different leagues available, including ones with small prize pools, free entry fees, and winner-takes-all formats. There’s even a high-roller league where players can throw $100 into a pot. This variety is what makes fantasy esports appealing to everyone.
A Growing Platform
Vulcun’s founder Ali Moiz has said that the platform is growing by 30% each week. Through just two weeks of the LCS season, Vulcun has already paid out over $36,000 in prizes. With a prize pool of $1 million, the possibility of making a living off of fantasy esports is becoming more realistic than ever.
