Worlds, the biggest esports event starting now
Perma [#2]L + dota 2 prizepool larger
Worlds winner skin sales are probably bigger than TI prizepool

sadly riot is greedy and doesnt put that in the prize pool unlike valve
asdfgh [#6]sadly riot is greedy and doesnt put that in the prize pool unlike valve
But Riot guarantees good salaries, unlike Valve.
asdfgh [#9]how
players have guaranteed minimum salaries and normally that's the majority of their earnings, not prize money. same thing is happening next year with partnerships
asdfgh [#9]how
Until recently some Dota2 pros were payed peanuts and relied completely on the payout of TI, which is stupid.
Riot sets minimum salary, so every pro can actually fucking live.

thats the pros problem for not demanding higher salaries together lmfao,maybe they should learn how to negotiate
asdfgh [#12]ok thats nice but is it only about franchised teams
All the teams at worlds are franchised so they all have minimum salaries

They probably cant because of the culture DOTA created around prizepools lol.
They trade off their high prizepool cut for salaries. That isnt healthy.
asdfgh [#16]ik?
well you are comparing TI to Worlds. TI teams no minimum salaries rely on TI prize pool, Worlds teams have minimum salaries and winner gets skin sales

wdym they cant,what prevents the team from uniting and saying they wont play a single game before they get normal wages

Welcome to being an na fan trying to watch worlds the past few years lol
Perma [#2]L + dota 2 prizepool larger
As an ex dota 2 player, thats the prize pool is the only thing going for the game, and its not even looking as brighter as other years this year
Zkurv [#21]Are you just trolling now?
no genuinely tell me whats wrong with that if they were really " payed peanuts and relied completely on the payout of TI" why tf are they not trying to do something about it,if the team sucks and the org is some poor no name org and they all knew it and signed then its different but if they just cut their salaries because of ti thats bs if it makes them way less money than with salaries
