Business magazine Forbes has released the list of the most valuable esports organizations of 2022, and some of the results are quite surprising.
Every year, Forbes’ Most Valuable Esports Teams ranking sparks a lot of discussion, including how accurate the numbers are and how some teams can create as much value as some of their biggest competitors.
In 2021, this list was dominated by TSM, with Cloud9 coming in second and Team Liquid finishing the podium.
While all of these organizations are still in the top 10, the list has changed significantly.
TSM keeps its place at the top of the list again this year.
At the top of Forbes’ ratings for 2022 is still TSM, which has maintained its top spot for three years now.
Check out Forbes’ list of the world’s most valuable esports teams in 2022 below:
- TSM ($540 million)
- 100 Thieves ($460 million)
- Team Liquid ($440 million)
- FaZe Clan ($400 million)
- Cloud9 ($380 million)
- G2 Esports ($340 million)
- Fnatic ($260 million)
- Gen. G ($250 million)
- NRG ($240 million)
- T1 ($220 million)
TSM tops the list, but 100 Thieves has seen astronomical growth.
The most notable leap is that of 100 Thieves, which overtook some of its fiercest competitors to rise to second place, thus relegating rival North American organizations such as Team Liquid, FaZe Clan and Cloud 9 by a few places. .
If these numbers are correct, then that means the ten companies are together worth $3.5 billion, which is up 46% from Forbes’ last list which was compiled in December 2020.
