The sky is the limit for Valve Software's crowdfunded prize additional prize pool for the annual Dota 2 tournament The International, as contributions to The Compendium have now passed the $6 million mark.
$6 million had previously been the highest listed stretch goal for the campaign, and having met that, another nine have been outlined all the way up to $10M.
It’s been only twelve days since the Compendium launched, and already the prize pool for The International has risen to astonishing heights, rocketing beyond the $6,000,000 stretch goal. Now we’re introducing several new stretch goals to aim for. Head over to the Compendium website to learn more.
Haven’t bought a Compendium? Now’s the time make your mark on the biggest Dota 2 event of the year. Activate your Compendium to get the Evolving Battle Point Booster, Couriers, Loading Screens, HUD, a vote for which hero will receive the next Arcana item, upcoming Immortal items, and much more.
That's already a whole lot of change for a videogame tournament. The International 2014 will take place in Seattle on July 18th.
