The best eSports players in Canada

Esports are on the rise. They are becoming more and more popular around the globe as people start to discover how entertaining these are, as well as the betting opportunities that exist. Certainly, there has been a huge increase in those looking at how to bet on Esports in Canada in recent times.

While there are wins to be had from placing bets, those playing Esports have the opportunity to win some seriously huge prize pots. While there are top players from almost every country on earth, Canada has produced more than its fair share. Here’s a look at just some of the very best.

Mike Grzesiek

As well as having a huge following on Twitch, Grzesiek is widely recognised as being one of the very best players when it comes to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO). With CSGO being one of the most popular games in Canada, there is little wonder that Grzesiek has such a huge following.

At one point, Grzesiek was one of the highest earners in the world of Esports. However, he has since stepped back from playing competitively. Instead, he now focuses on his live streams ad building his following.

Artour Babaev

Something that certainly means that Babaev deserves his place on this list is the fact that the prize money that he has won is nothing short of phenomenal. He has been playing Dota 2 at a professional level since the age of 17 and he quickly became one of the highest-paid players that Canada has ever seen.

As well as pocketing over $2 million in prize money, Babaev has also built a following on Twitch. With almost 1 million viewers, fans are keen to watch all that Babaev does in the hope that they can, one day, emulate his success.

Jack Lane

What sees Lane stand out is the fact that his rise to fame was rapid. In a very short space of time, he has become one of the most popular players in Canada. While some of this is no doubt down to his success, it is also down to the fact that he is just a nice guy, and is genuinely likeable.

While his Esports winnings have been sizeable, like other professionals, he doesn’t just rely on these as a way to make money. Lane is also an accomplished streamer and has over 400,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Tyson Ngo

Ngo has only been on the Esports scene since 2020, but he has already established himself as being one of the very best. While his career started playing CSGO, his attention has now turned to Valorant and this is where he has really made a name for himself.

Ngo hasn’t yet seen any significant winnings, but everyone agrees that this is just a matter of time. Just like the other professionals in this list, Ngo also dedicates time to streaming and has but up a respectable following on Twitch.
