Top Five Console Player Winnings

Following the 2017 Call of Duty Championships, perhaps the largest console event of the year, it’s a respectable time to check out the top five earners in the global competitive scene across all console esports. To preface, all the top five players are based in Call of Duty.

Out of the five, four spots are filled in by all the current members of Optic Gaming who’ve just come out of a victory at this year’s Championship. Battling for the top two spots are Karma, at 1^st place with three rings and Crimsix at 2^nd with the most LAN wins in the scene. For precision sake, Damon “Karma” Barlow sits at $638,597.25 and Ian “Crimsix” Porter at $621,851.14. Continuing with the list is an anomaly at 3^rd place; not that he’s a bad player it’s just that he’s from Team Envyus. Of course, it’s Jordan “Jkap” Kaplan following a 2^nd place finish at this year’s champs and having two rings himself resulting in a tally of $548,117.98.

Finishing the list in green is the formidable duo in Seth “Scump” Abner and Matthew “Formal” Piper.  “Scump” with $523,543.68 and “FormaL” with $514,944.68 thanks to a $25,000 MVP bonus at the event. On the topic of “FormaL”, the player was initially a strong player in the Halo scene, but he managed to make the switch to a different title while keeping his top-tier status. For those who’ve skipped through the words, below is a neat list:

1. Damon “Karma” Barlow            $638,597.25       

2. Ian “Crimsix” Porter                   $621,851.14       

3. Jordan “Jkap” Kaplan                 $548,117.98       

4. Seth “Scump” Abner                  $523,543.68       

5. Matthew “FormaL” Piper            $514,944.68       

For those who are curious, the next four spots are all taken up by Halo players. Check out the official list here:
