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.

Last year tournament prize for first price was only 1.3kk dollars. So it is massive leap. I am avid Dota players and I contributed to that prize pool as well by buying Dota Compendium ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

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..

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.

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. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
