ONE MILLION?

Dude, i thought this was a spam bot thread

Holy crap. So first place might win $300k and 2nd place $150k? This is amazing.
A bit too sad that only 18 players will taste some of that money though. Even 24 would be a nicer way to spread it around.

Do we have confirmation in that prize pool? I can't find anything about that outside of the LP page.

From what I understand, it's ''only'' 30 M$ for the prize money of tournaments (20 tournaments) with the rest being club bonus (20 M$), MVP performance and qualifiers.

The deepest the Liquipedia Discord can trace it back is to this German article and a deleted tweet

Also this. There’s nothing that really goes towards sustaining the scene in the medium/long term from going so top heavy with this fundage injection

They need to somehow figure out a way for the game to not be played with latency. It would be beyond shameful to throw that much money at a tournament where the outcome can be influenced by latency spikes.

No, but he can attend ESL Dallas through the Open Qualifier and try for a slot there. GSL itself does not award any slots for EWC (except through the EPT Korea Points)

Top earners COULD put on some self-funded tournies for the b-teamers. Johnny Appleseed the shit out of some ESPORTS money. Would never happen tho xD

I don't know if this is 100% accurate, but here's the official Prize pool breakdown for each game: https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=dota&no=46164&page=1

These numbers seem to match the ones posted by Waxangel, so the $1,000,000 SC2 prize pool is very likely correct.
