Dota 2 International prize pool exceeds $30M, becomes largest in esports history
On the off chance that despite everything anybody required persuading that esports is genuinely monstrous, the Dota 2 competition to be held one month from now simply collected over $30 million in prize cash. That is the biggest pot at any point offered for such a challenge, and making a decision by the sum it's expanded in simply the most recent couple of months, it will be much increasingly gigantic this time one year from now.
The 2019 Dota 2 International, the biggest competition for players of Valve's MOBA, right now has a prize pool of $30,200,471 (at time of composing — it's as yet going up). That makes it the greatest at any point offered for a solitary esports occasion, however that is not by any stretch of the imagination an unexpected when you think about how the cash is raised. For the individuals who don't have a clue about, the base prize cash is enlarged by a part of fight pass deals, which means it expands each time somebody purchases a Dota 2 fight pass. So it could conceivably be considerably more cash when the competition occurs in August.
For reference, the Fortnite World Cup (which starts in a couple of days) has a $30 million prize pool, beating the past International — held a year ago in Vancouver — which offered around $25.5 million. Considering the prizes for the International are fundamentally crowdfunded, it's nothing unexpected to see the number fixing itself year over year. I can just mull over what the prize pool will resemble one year from now. I'm going to minimalistically evaluate $40 million.
It's somewhat interesting to see a Fortnite rivalry endeavor to take the greatness of "greatest esports occasion" just to get ground under the impact point of the occupant Dota 2. Fortnite engineer Epic Games is additionally offering a $3 million prize to the best independent player in the challenge. In the interim, the champ of a year ago's International, the European OG group, prevailed upon $11 million. Those numbers sort of make your head turn, isn't that right? On the off chance that these two amusements begin vieing for who can be the greatest esports competition on the planet, I quiver to figure how much higher they can go.
The International starts on August 20 and will be held in Shanghai. In case you're feeling underhanded and need to help push the prize cash into significantly higher figures (and perhaps get some sweet Dota 2 plunder while you're grinding away)
