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

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.

Silly people thinking valve were actually going to outdo riot games in the esport department.. I dont think people realize how much spare money this company has to throw around.
GG no re valve.
|
thats really good for E-sports! Bigest prize ever!
|
Lol Damn, that is a lot of dough. Good to see LoL not playing on rolling over for any competition.
Competition is good in our industry!
|
Should make for interesting tournaments. It looks like they're aiming to ramp up the number of competitions.

GG no re valve. That's only a showmatch for 1 million dollars. Don't worry, Valve isn't done.

Valve has 1 million in one tournament Riot has 5 million over a year over a world wide LoL scene.

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.
|
now we only need 10 million starcraft 2 tournament
|
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.
|
Let's hope they distribute it right. IE not a single tournament.
|
Its like mlg anaheim against nasl season 1
lololololololololol
|
|
Here we fucking go. I have the weirdest boner right now.
|
I lol at LoL trying desperately to compete with Dota2. LoL probably have the worst graphics I ever seen for a game, look like it's made for 13 years old and under.

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.

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.
