Dota 2 players are throwing their wallets at Valve. Less than three days after the release of Dota 2 Battle Pass<\/a>, The International 10’s prize pool has reached $10 million.<\/p>\n This is quite a bit faster than previous years, and most of the prize pool comes from crowdfunding via Battle Pass and related purchases.<\/p>\n The International 10 prize pool has shown incredible growth. Valve provided a base prize pool of $1.6 million, and everything else comes from the wallets of Dota 2 players.<\/p>\n What makes this even more impressive is only 25% of the purchases go into the prize pool, and 75% goes to Valve. <\/p>\n Prices for the Battle Pass start at $9.99 for the standard one, with a level 50 pack for $29.35, and level 100 for $44.99. You can also purchase additional level packs.<\/p>\n At the same point in time, TI9’s prize pool was just over $9 million, while TI8’s prize pool was just over $7 million. Keeping in mind that The International 10 has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n The prize pool usually continues to grow until the grand finals take place, so we might just see a $40 million prize pool this year. <\/p>\n The talented Wykrhm Reddy explained how after just 24 hours, The International 10 prize pool already shattered previous records.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First 24 Hours — TI9 shattered pretty much every record but somehow the Dota community manages to shatter even that crazy record with another new one. ABSOLUTE BONKERS!! #TI10<\/a>#Dota2<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/oQdESMIsn7<\/a><\/p>\n — Wykrhm Reddy (@wykrhm) May 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe International 10 prize pool<\/h2>\n
