Dota 2 Compendium 2023: the worst start in The International history

The prize pool for The International 2023 may turn out to be one of the most modest in the history of the tournament. So far, the Compendium 2023 has caused disappointment among fans, which has significantly affected sales.

According to data from Dota 2 Prize Pool Tracker, sales of Valve's Battle Pass counterpart have shown the worst results in history. The prize money from Compendium 2023 ($567,923 at the time of writing) significantly lags behind even the very first The International in 2015.

This entire situation is shocking professional players, who may be disappointed with the prize pool of the tournament finals, which by this point has only managed to surpass the $2 million mark.
