Dota 2’s 2016 International Prize Pool Already Freaking Enormous

25% of the proceeds from the Battle Pass (which contains the compendium) go to the prize pool so that translates to roughly $8m spent on digital wizard booty so far.

Remember how the Dota 2 International prize pool inflation of 2016 has started thanks to the launch of this year’s compendium with a FREAKING MASSIVE SIDE ORDER OF OTHER SHENANIGANS?

It’s early days (or rather, hours) but yeah, it’s on course to beat last year’s $18m-and-then-some prize pool if it follows the same basic trajectory.
