I'm a fan of esports since the earliest of Dota 1 and I've been playing it too. I've witnessed those tournaments that has not so large pool prize but now it has changed. Because of the new meta and the game play has changed too, millions of users supporting the game itself by buying those in-game items that can provide the prize for the yearly tournament. Kuroky was one of the richest e-sports player before it was Dendi few years ago but due to the increase yearly prize pool, Dendi was out of the top though he's still rich.

This particular article didn't mention much about CS:GO, but for items like stickers sold during the majors, 50% of the proceeds raised during sales for the items go towards the included players and organizations. The prize pools for all esports tournaments have been going up over the past few years, and it's pretty pronounced in a game like CS:GO- sometime around 2015-2016, Valve raised the prize pools of CS:GO Major tournaments from $250,000 to $1 Million. Popularity's absolutely a big factor for why the prize pools for esports like CS:GO are higher than others too.

It all depends on how popular the sport is among the viewers. This is where all the advertisement and sponsorship money comes into play. For example the WNBA actually loses money because very few people even watch it and the budget is subsidized by the NBA.

It is kind of interesting that esports basically have a unique way to increase tournament prize pools, simply by using the sales from within the games itself.
This makes it really unique when you compare it to physical sports tournaments.
I totally wouldn't be surprised if esports becomes more popular than regular sports one day.
