This was the limit. Well, Valve has proved us wrong yet again as the prize pool for The International 2018 is now currently sitting at $24,801,253, completely annihilating the prize pool of the last year’s TI tournament".
A 13k difference is “annihilating” the old record? Sure it’s a 13k difference, but when the total sum is in the millions, 13k is nothing.
Aside: the difference is exactly 13337. Super leet.
