RAMZES666 Predicts a Significant Decline in Prize Pools for Dota 2 Tournaments

Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev believes that modern esports disciplines will continue to exist, but prize pools at major tournaments will be reduced.

The player shared this opinion on Twitch.

“Yes, esports will be around—100% for sure. It’s just that prize pools in esports will be around $200,000–300,000. Either way, you won’t make that much in a regular job—not even… You know what I mean? I mean, we were the spoiled ones who played back then. But in reality, that’s good money for people, one way or another. It’s easier to sit around playing Dota than…”

According to Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev, prize pools in major esports disciplines are currently quite high, which is why the current generation of esports players has grown accustomed to very high incomes. Nevertheless, in the future, the average prize pool at major events will be reduced to $200,000–300,000. In that case, players’ income will decrease but will still remain at an acceptable level.

As a reminder, Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov previously speculated on whether Roman “Ramzes666” Kushnarev would be able to return to professional Dota 2.
