Dota 2 The International 2024 Prize Pool: What We Know So Far

With only a few months left until The International 2024 Dota 2 tournament, esports fans from throughout the world are eagerly anticipating the event and speculating about the prize pool that it will offer.

As the largest annual event in the Dota 2 competitive scene, The International tournaments are renowned for their enormous prize pools. In fact, the TI10 prize pool boasted the largest prize pool in esports history, with over $40 Million USD up for grabs.

For the unaware, the majority of The International’s prize pool is crowdfunded, with 25% of Battle Pass sales directly contributing to the total amount.

However, since last year, Valve has shifted its focus away from Battle Passes filled with exclusive skins, choosing instead to prioritize gameplay updates and quality-of-life improvements.

As a result, the prize pool of TI12 went down dramatically, and a portion of the community also expressed their disappointment at the lackluster Battle Pass that the game received last year.

Dota 2 The International 2024 Prize Pool

With that being said, should Valve follow the same path this year, the prize pool for the upcoming TI13 might just see another notable decrease.

The prize pool for The International 2024 hinges significantly on the contents of the highly anticipated Dota 2 2024 Battle Pass. If Valve includes some juicy new arcanas and other compelling rewards for the players to enjoy, we can anticipate a substantial increase in the prize pool over last year.

Below, we’ve included a list of all The International prize pools for you to take a look at:

  • The International 1: $1.6 million
  • The International 2: $1.6 million
  • The International 3: $2.8 million
  • The International 4: $10.9 million
  • The International 5: $18.4 million
  • The International 6: $20.7 million
  • The International 7: $24.7 million
  • The International 8: $25.5 million
  • The International 9: $34.3 million
  • The International 10: $40 million
  • The International 11: $19 million
  • The International 12: $3 million

CS2 Tournament in Brazil Investigated for Corruption

Global Esports Tour Rio has been one of the most controversial tournaments in recent history. Despite said event concluding nearly 2 months ago, fresh allegations have landed the organizers in hot water with governing bodies who are looking into possible corruption within the ranks according to a report.

An anonymous tip with sufficient information for Rio de Janeiro’s Prosecution Service to initiate a case was provided concerning the corruption inquiry. The State has sent notices to CBGE, the Secretary of State for Sports, Leisure, and Youth (SEEL), and the Rio de Janeiro State’s Sports Oversight Board (SUDERJ). Only SEEL has responded to these letters.

The anonymous tip has highlighted two transactions namely, $815,000 that the Rio de Janeiro government allotted to GET Rio for the tournament followed by a $360,000 that CBGE requested a few days before the start of GET Rio. The proper calculations of said amounts are far from resolved thus the allegations of corruption.

The investigation group released a report on May 24 detailing all the irregularities found in the transaction of the amount in question. The committee gave CBGE until May 27 to reply. The legal section of the confederation requested one month to answer on June 7, which was after the deadline which was extended by a week later.

As we await the final hearing, the verdict will decide the future of the CS2 esports organizers moving forward.

Nitr0’s CS2 Return Halted by Failed Negotiations With M80

After Nick ‘Nitr0’ Canella announced his big return to professionally competing in CS2 again, negotiations have fallen through with his current team which has put a break in his plans according to a report.

Earlier this month, M80 announced that Nitr0 will not be a part of their active Valorant roster upon which the skipper announced that he will be transitioning to CS2. A player of his calibre was swift to attract suitors but his current organization had plans that did not resonate well.

M80 plans to keep Nitr0 within the organization and fill the stop which will be vacated by Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa once his rumored move to G2 goes through. However, we do not know whether he would be taking over IGL duties or acting as a secondary to freshly minted IGL, Elias “s1n” Stein.

Nitr0’s announcement garnered the attention of two of the top teams from North America namely, Team Liquid and Compelxity. The former is undergoing an IGL crisis while Complexity isn’t exactly looking to add an IGL in their ranks.

As things stand, his negotiations with M80 have reached a halt and his next move is up in the air. Nitr0 claimed to come in at this convenient time when the North American CS scene is suffering from an IGL crisis and save the scene but unless he can reach an agreement, chances of that are as slim as it can be.

Steam Is Getting an In-Built Game Recording Tool

0

Steam has recently released its beta version of a video recording feature game recording features, players can record, playback, clip, and share their content with just a few button presses without any additional software like OBS or Shadowplay.

The feature is said to be ‘lightweight yet powerful’ which implies that it will put less of a strain on your system while recording your gameplay at an optimal quality. Steam is always running behind the screen when you are playing a game on said platform so having an inbuilt feature will free you of the burden of running an additional software.

It will make use of a background recording system enabling users to click a button and record a video along with a few handy functionalities that often required other software hogging down your system which at times kept video games from performing optimally.

It is believed that Steam will also be implementing automation that will be able to detect highlights from video games like when you hit an “ace” in CS2. The optimized nature of the game system along with automation integrated to work with the games will be an excellent recipe for recording software and might steal away a few users the likes of OBS or Shadowplay for gamers who only record but don’t live stream.
