Why does every thread that mentions LoL NEED to turn into a LoL vs HoN vs Dota2 thread? Seriously, cut it out.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/league-legends-season-two-feature-5-million-prize-pool

So... yes. I guess league of legends is trying to "compete" against dota 2, and now they are having a 5 million dollares Prize pool for their season 2 league. The money will be splited between the world qualifiers and the majority of the money will be given in the finals, witch will be held at dream hack. I guess part of the money is included in some other leagues and events like MLG and ESL, but we will have to see.

Anyway, good to see a lot of money going into esports.

Competition is good in our industry!

That's only a showmatch for 1 million dollars. Don't worry, Valve isn't done.

I sure hope Valve manages to outdo even this, not because I like it better, but I mean, a $5 million prize pool is insane already, lets hope someone will try and trump even this.

Just because you throw money at a game doesn't make the game any good or fun to watch. This just looks desperate to me to try and outshine DOTA2. I guess they are afraid of losing their entire playerbase and just throwing money in there to try and save it.

For what? probably the worst looking game in the world on PC? Good luck with that. If Valve decide to make Dota2 free, LoL is as good as dead.

Valve: 1.6M~ for a three day invitational tournament

Riot: 5.0M~ for a 365 day worldwide season, spanning multiple tournaments.


I think Valve still has a record, guys.

They will probably re announce, like 2 million for the final event, and 3 million distributed around the year( for example that could be 4 250 thousand dollar events, and 20, 100,000 dollar events. That is a LOT of money, and could really boost the competition regardless of what you think about the game. There are going to be a lot of people out for that $$$. A big complaint about LoL in the past for competitiveness is the scene isn't supported that much, but that's turned around with season 1 champs, and now with this announcement.

Uh....

Riot: $5 million for an actual functioning tournament scene
Valve: $1.6 million for pre-selected teams for a marketing hype

Valve's prize pool isn't actually supporting the scene yet. It's no different from Black Ops hype prize pools of $1 million. It's part of marketing.
