Godamn.I'd say a low estimate is 15-20k (6-8k sold). That would be less sales than something like StarLadder or The Defense. But this isn't a long-running league and you don't need the ticket to watch the games. (although you do to get drops, which is clever) The price pool is also tracked through the Dota Client. If you go to the watch tab it says so they've actually put all that functionality in so presumably it's a very easy thing to do for tournaments. | ||

Breaking news on Reddit: Somebody brought a Dota soundpack for $38,000 The legendary soundpack was released by Valve via drop, but due to a bug that there's no sound when you click ready, Valve had to pull it off the market. There were only 5 ever made it to the market. People say this soundpack is one of the most soughtafter because of its rarity. Somebody paid $38,000 to get one. | ||

And 7300 now, the incentives in it are pretty good too maybe it can end up having a bigger prize pool then wpc? Also with both d2cl and this doing the tickets add to prize pool thing do you guys think this is something that is going to start being 'mandatory' for a big tournament like couriers are now? | ||

Also with both d2cl and this doing the tickets add to prize pool thing do you guys think this is something that is going to start being 'mandatory' for a big tournament like couriers are now? The D2CL is only putting 6.25% of purchases towards the prize pool, and that's not really a significant amount. But that's what you could do with the way tickets currently are and still make some money. So I don't think it will become a trend unless the way the revenue split is done changed. Because trying to cut money from 25% (which is also including item creators share) is pretty difficult to make it still be a relevant revenue stream and at the same time give you a relevant prize pool increase. Which is possible, I mean they could do something like 'if you are giving X to prize pool you can take 50% of that from Valve's share', something like that would go a long way to incentivising people to do this. | ||

Knowing the minimum health to survive a spell or spells is always useful. Lane play in general could be improved just from that information. | ||

Also, magic resist is pretty easy to account for, but physical damage and composite damage make it much more complex. And other than that, its pretty much a rule that level 4 spells do slightly more than 300 damage before resists. Exact numbers can be found by clicking on the hero mid game. | ||
