Dota 2 once again broke its own record for the largest esports prize pool


 While the TI 10 still doesn’t have a date to be held nor is it known if it will be held at all this year, that hasn’t stopped the community from raising over $ 34.33 million.

Although we were supposed to witness the 10th International this month, due to the COVID-19 situation things have changed so one of the biggest esports events has not been held nor is it known if it will be held at all this year. Despite the tournament being canceled even before this year’s Battle Pass came out, it didn’t stop the Dota 2 community from once again surpassing last year’s prize pool which was a whopping $ 34,330,068.

With the standard 1.6 million that Valve sets aside right at the start, the current prize pool is $ 34,363,103 million. Admittedly, it should be taken into account that the finals would be held last week and thus the possibility of increasing the prize fund would stop raising funds, but still it is again a significant amount of money that is collected even though there is no tournament.

This year's Battle Pass lasts until September 19, but not all prizes have been delivered yet, so it is possible that the fund will reach 35+ million.
