ESL increases prize pool for ESL One Dota 2 series to one million
Dota certainly attracts the lavish prize money and tournaments. While this doesn’t make the ESL One series into another DAC (Dota 2 Asian Championships), it’s definitely another sign of the increasingly high pay-outs that are required to put on a high-level Dota 2 tournament.
“We’re starting with ESL One Frankfurt 2015 in June this year, where the prize money has been raised from $150,000 to $250,000 – and this is just the beginning,” said ESL’s Ulrich Schulze, Managing Director of Pro Gaming. in a statement release via press release. “ESL One is here to set a new standard for professional Dota 2 events at this level. We’re dedicated to pushing the boundaries, and giving players from around the world more chances to make their careers as professional gamers is a key aspect of that.”
It’s also a further sign of the ESL’s investment in Dota. A press release from the company claims that the ESL has “quadrupled its 2014 investments into ESL One Dota 2.” That comes on the heels of ESL’s decision to host their ESL One events in major sports and entertainment venues. The Dota 2 tournament scene certainly won’t be wanting for prize money and offline events anytime soon.

"Trying to be like LoL" The International prize pool last year was $10 Million. $1 milly is nothing, especially when being shared between 5+ people.
$1 Million dollars is still a ton of money even if it is shared between 5-10 people...
It's great to see competitive gaming getting this big the last couple of years, I really regret not sticking to one specific game since I could have mastered one of them and hopefully gone to competitive gaming events.

This is a LOT of money and a huge investment by ESL. Dota 2 is such a huge game that's growing at a constant rate. I really hope CS:GO gets as big as this.

oh gosh, ESL is already hella competitive. I always get very anxious watching ESL streams on CS:GO (especially when I bet) so I can imagine how tense it will be with a 1 million prize pool
