Dota 2 pros have mixed opinions on The International’s large prize pool being split to support other events

Dota 2 is the home of The International, which features the highest prize pools in esports. Every year fans get to crowdfund the most prestigious tournament in the Dota 2 calendar through the battle pass, and the winner almost takes half of it.

Given the tournament’s top-heavy prize pool distribution scheme, teams that don’t make it to the top four in the event usually disband or make roster changes, reducing the overall stability within the game’s competitive scene. Usually, the rest of the year is filled with Majors with mediocre prize pools compared to TI.
