re: Dota 2 breaks e-sports record again with $11.4 million prize pool

The prize pool grows with 25% of purchases from the Compendium, additional purchased levels, and other related Ti5 chests. These each give players sets or other cosmetics for Dota 2 games. The most recent stretch goal was for desert terrain, something expected to be unavailable on the current Source engine. This is leading into Source 2, with strings already being found within Dota 2.

Also, here are the breakdown of the prize pool payouts from Ti4.
