Description: Exactly 15 esports players became millionaires, with 316 earning no less than $100,000 and while many players can be happy with their yearly earnings, there are 10 that stood out from the rest by earning the highest pay check in 2019. Here we will look who those 10 players are and how did they become one of the best-paid esports players of 2019. Shane “EpikWhale” Cotton is a 17-year-old American Fortnite professional player, who will finish 2019 as the 10th best-paid esports player of the year. EpikWhale has started his career as a professional esports player in April 2019 when he joined Kungarna. While playing under Kungarna’s banner he attended Fortnite World Cup North American qualifiers, where he claimed the first spot in week 3 and pocketed $4,000. Four months later, in August, EpikWhale opted to leave the organization and joined up with NRG Esports. The young teen has ended the year with a staggering $1,297,366.67 in prize winnings, which he earned throughout the year with his incredible performances in 16 Fortnite tournaments. While he has seen a lot of success in most of the events he attended, his biggest paycheck came from Fortnite World Cup - Solo, where he claimed a bronze medal and earned $1.2 million. Emil “nyhrox” Bergquist is our second Fortnite player who started his career as a professional esports player in August 2018. In his first year as a pro nyhrox earned only $3,660.29, yet he more than made up with his earnings in 2019, which saw him pocked over $1.5 million. Just like as it was the case with EpikWhale, the majority of nyhrox's earnings came from the inaugural Fortnite World Cup tournament where he claimed the golden medal at Fortnite World Cup – Duo alongside his teammate David "Aqua" Wang. The Cooler Esports tandem was a force to be reckoned with at the event, where they defeated their opponents to take home $1.5 million each. Their success also helped Cooler Esports end the year as the sixth-best paid esports team of the year.
