This is the largest prize pool in the Esports World Cup.
Esports World Cup has just unveiled the prize pool of Dota 2's Riyadh Masters! We will see a massive total of $10 million poured into the Dota 2 category. $5 million will go to the main tournament and the other $5 million allocated for the qualifiers.
The champions of Riyadh Masters will earn a lion's share of $1.5 million. The runner-up will bring home $800K followed by a $600K prize for the third-place team. Here is the complete prize pool distribution for Riyadh Masters:
Placement Prize Money | 1st $1.5 million | 2nd $800K | 3rd $600K | 4th $400K | 5th-6th $300K | 7th-8th $200K | 9th-12th $100K | 13th-14th $70K | 15th-16th $40K | 17th-18th $25K | 19th-20th $15K |
The other $5 million will interestingly go to the qualifier rounds. The qualifier round typically does not host that large of a prize so this will certainly up the stakes and make qualifiers more intense than it already is. Currently, the prize pool distribution for Riyadh Master's qualifiers has yet to be revealed.
