How much did people spend on the Compendium in total?

I think I bought the biggest booster 3 times... How much was that again?

Ahh riot pr, open foot, insert mouth, deny everything. Although polygon is hardly a bastion of journalistic quality.

I like to consider faceless void a better way of winning, IMO. Tinker as well if you spent the 3 mins it takes to learn how to play him.

So like... Riot said Valve "begged" us as players to pool TI4 money...
Polygon can hardly be trusted and even in the original version of the article there was only 2 words quoted, not even full sentences. And they also said they talked to someone but they didn't directly attribute the quotes to that person.

That said, Riot is also an enormous company with a bunch of PR/Marketing/Lawyer assholes, it's not like anything anyone says is the position of the company unless that's stated.

As far as the actual compendium is concerned. Some people don't seem to understand that the prize money aspect is just marketing for the compendium as a product, obviously with side benefits from the increased prize pool also being marketing for the tournament.

But if the compendium was instead the "Valve Crazy Summer Dota Bundle", and it cost 7.50 without any prize pool shenanigans. But still had stretch goals, items, fantasy league, all this other jazz. It's not like it wouldn't sell absurd amounts. So even if someone might think it was begging it was probably not even close to the major contributor to the sales of the compendium. (the biggest was probably the point system linked with items)

It also wouldn't be a 'disaster' if the prize pool is smaller next year. Obviously if it was like a quarter it would look bad, but if you look at the only other prize pools which function like TI, which would be in Poker. It's not like the Main Event in the WSOP increases every single year, it goes up and down depending on community interest (being fan or player is largely irrelevant) and what other events there are that year.

Although there will no doubt be the usual band of doomsday naysayers who will cry dead game if we only get something like 7 million next year.

As for that Polygon article, I'm sure at some point in time, a Rioter used the word "begged" in a completely unrelated matter. esports journalism

Esport journalism at its finest. Sensationalize a topic creating a new story but all it did is make Riot come off as bad as per usual all the while making polygon even more of a joke.

The only thing I like in LOL and Riot in general is their e-sports model. No one cares the "beg" comment I suppose.
