We have seen Epic Games decided to go big this year when this gaming company announced the huge tournament Fortnite World Cup for its famous battle royale game. This tournament alone will feature the prize pool of $30 million dollars. Epic Games clearly wants to aim for the title of biggest prize pool tournament organizer of this year 2019. But Valve does not think so.
The prize pool of The International 2019 of Dota 2 has now grown up to $29,083,419 – more than $29 million dollars (at the time this article is written). The contributed prize pool from the fans for the biggest annual tournament of Dota 2 keeps growing with incredible speed, and the total prize pool of this year The International has surpassed The International 2018’s total prize pool.
The battle pass sale for Dota 2 of this year is incredible, and with over more than 30 days of the sale, the Immortal Treasure cosmetic series will surely bring much more money for Valve, as well as more money for the prize pool of The International 2019. In The International 2018, we have seen team OG walked away with more than $11 million dollars in their pockets for winning the tournament. With the prize pool of The International 2019 getting bigger and bigger every day, perhaps the winner of this year biggest Dota 2 tournament may take home up to $15 million dollars.
However, the third installment of the Immortal Treasure cosmetic series has not been released to the fans of Dota 2, so the final sale number of The International 2019’s battle pass is believed to be incredibly huge. It will surely surpass the total prize pool of Fortnite World Cup if Epic Games does not put more money in its tournament.
