Valve mentioned the impending event in a tweet but provided no further specifics other than the venue and date. The competition is recognized for its substantial awards, with the victorious team from the previous year receiving a share of the $40 million prize pool. That massive sum was raised through in-game purchases made by the Dota 2 community and has only grown over time. We don’t know how much money will be up for grabs at this year’s competition, but we won’t have to wait long to find out.
