In this article we’ll be discussing some of the most popular games that fall into this category and are completely free to play for everyone. Praça MMO - Top 3 Most Popular Free to Play Games in E-Sports

Becoming a popular e-sport is no easy task. Every single day new games are released and almost all of these are incredibly fun to play. However, there are a few games that have managed to stand tall above the competition and truly mark themselves as the absolute best. These games have enormous player-bases and have allowed people to make actual careers with their gaming skills.

There are many reasons the games we’ll mention later on are so popular. Perhaps the key thing about them that the players enjoy so much is that they’re constantly updated with cool new content and features for everyone to engage in. On top of this they’re really well balanced as well. Balance is one of the key things that should exist in every single game that markets itself as an e-sport because an unbalanced game can eventually lead to unfair matches which are a huge problem in a competitive environment.

The following games are the three most popular free to play e-sports out there.

League of Legends


League of Legends is a MOBA game that is played by millions upon millions of people every single day. The game has incredible champion design and the developers have done a phenomenal job of maintaining balance and put out a new patch pretty much every two weeks to make sure that everything stays perfect. The reason League of Legends is so popular is because it focuses a lot more on teamwork than most other games of this category. You simply cannot win if you don’t cooperate properly with your teammates.

This is the first e-sport to develop an actual competitive league of its own which is the LCS (League of Legends Championship Series). The LCS is the perfect launch pad for those who are looking to start their careers and demonstrate their skills to the world.

DotA 2


DotA 2 is another MOBA game that has a following of millions of players and has one of the most well developed e-sports infrastructures out there. The key thing that has helped DotA 2 achieve its popularity is the fact that the original DotA essentially pioneered the entire MOBA genre. The game has some really creative character design which has attracted many players over the years. Invoker comes to mind when discussing some of the more creative characters that this game has to offer.

DotA 2’s most recent world championship, The International 5, had the biggest prize pool there has ever been in e-sports history which was a total of around 18,370,000 US Dollars.

SMITE


SMITE is what you’d get when you took the very best elements of MOBA and RPG games and blend them together to form the absolute masterpiece. The game’s lore is based heavily on mythology so all the in-game characters have names of mythical creatures like Anubis, Medusa, Xing Tian and Thor etc.

Although SMITE entered the e-sports area fairly late, it has still managed to make a mark. It has a very significant player-base and recently had its very first world championship which had a prize pool consisting of over 2,000,000 US Dollars. Although this is relatively little compared to the likes of DotA 2’s most recent championship, it’s still pretty incredible considering this was the game’s very first world championship.

All said and done, the three games mentioned above are without a doubt the most popular free-to-play e-sport games out there. You should try them out when you can because they have gameplay that can get pretty much anyone hooked.
