The biggest tournament in eSports

Since its launch in 2011, Dota 2 has been one of the main eSports disciplines. Thanks to the use of crowdfunding, it can boast the richest prize pool of all eSports disciplines. The developer of the game, Valve company, acts as the organizer of the annual The International, championship, where the best players compete for multimillion-dollar prizes. The prize pool of The International in 2016 exceeded $20,000,000, and its final match between NaVi and Alliance gathered an audience of 4,600,000 viewers.

Tournaments around the world

Starting from 2015, Valve also decided to sponsor smaller tournaments with a fixed prize pool held every season. They were collectively called The Majors. Three such tournaments are held annually, each in a different region, and the culmination of the eSports season is always The International. In addition to championships organized by Valve, there are also many tournaments from third-party organizers, such as ASUS ROG Dream League, The Summit, SL i-league Star Series, ESL One, Dota Pit League and many others. Hundreds of professional Dota 2 matches are held monthly, and their broadcasts make up about 50% of the total number of eSports content in the world.

A game of this scale could not fail to attract the attention of those who enjoy betting with GGBet. The biggest scandal in eSports is directly related to betting on Dota 2, when a team participating in one of the tournaments bet on its own defeat in order to make money on the bet. They got their jackpot, but were disqualified.

The first World Championship was held in 2011 in beta mode. Then it was only possible to get to it by invitation. The International took place within the annual international exhibition of computer games Gamescom. $1.6 million was allocated as a prize pool — an unprecedented amount for its time.

16 teams took part in the first championship, among which was Ukrainian NAVI. It was this team that won. In 2012, the prize pool remained the same, and in 2013 it was increased to $2.8 million. Then it grew exponentially, which, among other things, is the keen interest of the public and players in The International.
