Worlds, the biggest esports event starting now
who cars LoL sucks
L + dota 2 prizepool larger
based
Worlds winner skin sales are probably bigger than TI prizepool
sadly riot is greedy and doesnt put that in the prize pool unlike valve
But Riot guarantees good salaries, unlike Valve.
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
ok thats nice but is it only about franchised teams
All the teams at worlds are franchised so they all have minimum salaries
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
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
They probably cant because of the culture DOTA created around prizepools lol.
They trade off their high prizepool cut for salaries. That isnt healthy.
wdym they cant,what prevents the team from uniting and saying they wont play a single game before they get normal wages
do you really think esport players will unionize and go on strike
Are you just trolling now?
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
Group stage nty will watch later tho Daddy Nas X will be performing later
