Marvel Rivals Ignite announced with a $3 million prize pool
The ES TIMES — NetEase Games has officially unveiled Marvel Rivals Ignite, the largest esports competition to date for the co-op hero-based shooter, with a whopping $3 million (SR11,250,000) prize pool. Of this amount, $1 million (SR3,750,000) will be allocated to the Grand Finals, setting a new standard for competitive gaming. This massive tournament spans five major regions - the Americas, EMEA, China, Asia, and Oceania - and represents a significant leap forward compared to previous Marvel Rivals events, which had a maximum prize pool of $500,000 (SR1,875,000) distributed across regional invitational tournaments. In its statement, NetEase described the event as a showcase of "glory, resilience, and absolute cinema," with hints at exciting confrontations between iconic heroes and villains. Marvel Rivals Ignite is scheduled to kick off in May 2025, though full details about the tournament format, qualification, and team selection remain unannounced. It is currently unclear whether the competition will be open to all players or limited to invited teams, as has been the case with previous tournaments like the Marvel Rivals Championships. However, the scale and scope of this announcement signals a bold step toward building a sustainable, global esports ecosystem around the game. After a period of relative calm following the launch of Season 2, the announcement of Marvel Rivals Ignite is seen as the boost the competitive scene needs. As NetEase continues to drive expansion through major initiatives, it is clear the studio is committed to making Marvel Rivals a mainstay in the esports world. Fans and aspiring competitors should stay tuned for updates, as more details about the tournament are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Sami Belhamra – Esports and Gaming writer
