Title: Dota 2 tournament hits 10 million dollars Post by: williamj2543 on June 27, 2014, 04:20:38 PM Hey guys, just wanted to say how this years International Dota 2 tournament (TI4) hit a prize pool of 10 million dollars. This is massive news for the gaming industry, as this smashes previous prize pool records. This will give at least a 4 million dollar prize to the winning team, and this is actually even a large prize pool for real sports. I think its even more than the fedex cup and the masters cup for golf.

Well thats alot, its almost near the prizes for the grandslam series of tennis, in fact the second place gets less than 700k usd.

Title: Re: Dota 2 tournament hits 10 million dollars Post by: ShibaWow on June 27, 2014, 05:25:35 PM How did they generate the prize pool? Donations? probably going to earn it back from streams, advertisements, they could even charge a sign up fee and with such a reward there will be participants..

If it's true i will be on DOTA all day long to get some price :) I haven't seen games to have prize tournaments so far, except for poker stuff.

As u r talking about Dota 2, I'm sharing a full movie uploaded on youtube on this game... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZYMI1zB9s Watch at your leisure. It is 1h:15m:43s long :) Title: Re: Dota 2 tournament hits 10 million dollars Post by: bitmarket.io on June 27, 2014, 10:11:37 PM oh noo!!!
Title: Re: Dota 2 tournament hits 10 million dollars Post by: Lethn on June 27, 2014, 10:16:10 PM And the games like that are just rock/paper/scissors holy shit >_< I mean, I'm not an asshole that will scream about banning gambling or anything but that does make me kind of depressed about it, at least pick a decent game like Counter Strike Source, it always makes me laugh about how people rant about how balanced starcraft is.

Title: Re: Dota 2 tournament hits 10 million dollars Post by: Rapido on June 28, 2014, 12:48:42 AM who do you think are the top contenders in the upcoming TI4? I think Na'Vi will again be in the top/runner up spot as they have always been since TI1 but EG and DK are both powerful team, I hope the championship game would be as epic as Alliance vs. NaVi. ;D
