Quote from eSportsDaily:

Just when you thought the competitive TTRPG scene was reaching a peak, a 5-million-dollar bomb was dropped on the scene by Riot Games. With Valve making its massive announcement about its ~1.6million dollar tournament, this one tops it by more than double. It also reaches a lot more than 16 teams. In fact any 'League of Legends' player will have the ability to play in this tournament.

That's a pretty big prize pool, all though it appears it's going to be spread over quite a few leagues/continents, there's still going to be some big winnings to be had!

Id like to clarify that it isn't in one tournament like dota2, its the entire season which could be longer than a year. So riot is a bit deceptive in their wording there

Something you are overlooking is that is only riot adding to the prize pool. There is still companies like Razer, Steelseries, Alienware etc. The total prize pool for season 2 will be one for the books that is for sure.

More like

"Oh shit DOTA2, better do something big."

Don't forget, the DOTA scene on a competitive level is much older and matured than that of LoL. Not to mention a team got bought for 2 Million dollars.. rofl
