Dota 2's The International prize pool hits $33 million
The prize pool for The International 10 has surpassed $33 million and remains on the rise. After having a set prize pool for the first two years of its existence, the tournament shifted to crowd funding in its third year and has seen the prize pool rise year on year.
As of today, the prize money stands at $33,488,271, which is still slightly below last year's record breaking total of $34,330,068. However, at this stage last year, the prize pool was on $31 million, suggesting that this year's will be yet another record breaking pool for the winners as the cash continues to pour in.
The Dota 2 tournament was due to take place this month, as has happened every other year, but has since been pushed back to 2021 because of the pandemic. Valve are yet to confirm concrete dates for the rearranged tournament, but with the money still coming it, TI 10 looks set to have the biggest prize pool ever.
