Elite League prize pool: how much winners will receive

In the forthcoming Elite League tournament for Dota 2, teams will fight for a prize pool of $1 million. However, tournament organizers have not yet released details about how this money -- or any of it -- will be divided among the 24 competing teams who place in order at the end of this event.

However, drawing on data from previous tournaments available on Liquipedia, we can speculate on how the prize pool might be distributed, particularly estimating the amount the winning team would receive. It is anticipated that the tournament winner could expect around 30% of the total prize pool, equivalent to $300,000.

Approximate prize distribution:

• 1st place - $300,000

• 2nd place - $175,000

• 3rd place - $120,000

• 4th place - $85,000

With representatives from around the world set to compete across 24 different rosters on site at Elite League alone; each participant could potentially earn varying amounts based solely upon where they finish when everything is said and done.
