Because of the Dota 2 community’s contributions and the majority recently the Battle Level Bundle released on May 4th, the TI7 prize pool is now the biggest single award for the esports event. At 15 : 00 CEST, on July 12, The International 2017 prize pool has reached $20, 772, 353. The community has contributed a staggering 1198. 27% total increase.
If we take away the $1, 600, 000 Valve chipped in, we’re left with more than $19, 172, 353 raised from the community. However, only 25% from the proceeds of each and every Battle Pass sale is added as much as the TI7 prize pool. Therefore, the Dota 2 community has actually spent over $76 million on TI7 Battle Passes and levels.
The TI7 prize pool tracker provides real-time hourly and daily comparison graphs. This year’s prize has gradually grown with a faster pace than last year’s fund.
Along with dwarfing most esports tournaments prize funds, last year'sTI6 prize pool had even surpassed the prizes of well-known traditional sporting events, such like the Cricket World Cup, The Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, among others. Last year it was eventually estimated the esports market was expected to pass the $1 billion mark in 2017. Dota2’s contribution towards the market size is undeniable and continues to destroy expectations.
