Dota 2's $100 million milestone, visualised


Prize winnings in Valve’s MOBA have passed into nine digits – a staggering feat for an eSport. Take a look at just how big the game now is with our guide.

 With the conclusion of EPICENTER this month the Dota 2 eSports scene hit a significant milestone. Since The International back at Gamescom in 2011 more than $100 million in prize money has been given out at significant tournaments for Dota 2. With the ever increasing prize pools of The International it is easy to see how this milestone has been hit, but hitting it this quickly in the game’s life is still quite the surprise. It was only a few years ago where a $50,000 prize pool would be considered a big deal – and to put things in perspective, it’s more money than has been given away in the history of both pro League of Legends and Counter-Strike, combined.

 The $500,000 prize pool for EPICENTER was what initially tipped Dota 2 over the edge of the $100 million mark, but since then that number has grown even more. According to esportsearnings.com the current total sits at $100,560,825.90 – and remember that this figure does not include the prize pool for The International 7, only tournaments that have already happened.

 Dota 2 is the first title to hit this historic milestone, and we can assure you that it won’t be the last, despite League of Legends still being $59 million behind it. So to celebrate this historic achievement we scoured the history book and pulled out to calculator to find all the super important data and a few entertaining side notes.

10 Top Sexiest League of Legends Skins

One of the largest games in the world, League of Legends is no stranger to well-done character creation and character appearance. As a Free To Play game, though, Riot Games, the game's creator, needed a way to recoup their costs and make it a truly profitable game. Enter the idea of skins. Just like many other Free to Play games, players can purchase new champion outfits (also known as skins) to customize their champion in a new way. As over 90% of League of Legends players are male, it may come as no surprise that many of the female champion skins are pretty easy on the eyes. Short skirts, bare stomachs, and long legs are the par for many of the available female champion skins. Not all sexy skins are created equal, though. Here at some of the 10 Top Sexiest League of Legends skins. Some are still available for purchase while others will just have to be something you lust over. Click Here to Continue
