Lil surprised with the news about how long players have to wait for tournament winnings

Sometimes, players may have to wait for years for their prize money, Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk confessed.

This was while he talked to 9pasha during a twitch interview.

“Normally the top events organizers will release prizes within two weeks at most. However, this could take between three and six months on an average. There were even instances where prize money arrived in two years”

While it is true that even prestigious tournaments make players wait at least a fortnight before paying them, there was one occasion when it took more than two years before I received my due from a tournament. However, he made no mention of whether this was either tier-1 or tier-2 Dota 2 tournament.

Earlier on, streamer Jan “Gorgc” Stefanovski disclosed the probable amount of prize money for Riyadh Masters 2024.
