8 million dollars in prizes is an impressive brand for any competition, a brand that the world tournament Free to Play Defense Of The Ancients 2 just overtook thanks to the sale of its digital program created especially for this tournament.
Contribute to the International's total prize pool and win several special rewards. The International Compendium is a virtual book that lets you interact with the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year in several different ways. This year you'll receive even more rewards by raising your compendium level by watching matches, collecting players' cards, making guesses about what will happen in the tournament and more. Better than that, just being there.
This is the description that we can find on the main page of the program created by the Dota 2 team to promote their tournament. For 10 USD you have the possibility to keep up to date on everything that is going on with the various teams in the tournament and to make predictions about the results. In addition to obtaining the program itself, by paying the 10 USD, 2,5 USD is reverted to the total tournament prize and as the total prize grows more bonuses will be given to players who have purchased the program.
At the time of this article, the total premium goes in 8.225.079 USD (the time they read this article the prize must be higher) or who already bought will be able to vote in the update of a model of a hero, beyond what was already entitled before the barrier of 8 Millions USD have been exceeded.
Since only 25 per cent of the purchase value is added to the total prize, the Dota 2 team has already scored neither more nor less than $ 24.675.237 with this program, this value will only be a part of what this tournament will bill since it is one of the biggest electronic sports events of the year in which the advertising gains are not few.
The tournament will take place between 18 and 21 from July at the Key Arena in Seattle and by then the prize is expected to reach its initial target of 10 million dollars, that is to say 30 million dollars of profit and a much higher value than 10 Usd in exclusive bonuses delivered to all who have bought the program.
