Back in May, Dota 2 announced the sale of The International 10 Battle Pass, with a portion of the proceeds going to the prize pool of Dota 2's annual competition, The International, popularly known in the gaming community as TI. Within days of the launch of the battle pass, the prize pool for the tournament skyrocketed by a whopping $8 million. The current prize pool has already crossed the $30 million mark, which is the second-largest prize pool for any single tournament in the history of esports. The top spot is held by The International 2019 that had a prize pool of $34,330,068. TI10 (2020) is now expected to raise a prize pool of around $40 million.
