As of 12 February 2019, Jang “Moon” Jae Ho (Republic of Korea), retains the record of the highest-earning WarCraft III (2002, Blizzard) player ever, increasing his total career earnings from playing the real-time strategy videogame professionally to $490,518.67 (£380,282).
“Moon” currently plays for team Fnatic. His most recent tournament win was at One Belt One Road - International e-Sports Competition (23 December 2018), where he earned $4,344.30 (£3,366.77). His biggest single career win was for Game-X 2007 (11 March 2007), where he collected $38,120.65 (£29,542.93).
Despite being 17-years-old, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (Blizzard, 2002) remains a popular title on the eSports circuit. And, despite being a pure real-time strategy, it is the game that spawned the multiplayer online battle arena MOBA sub-genre.
