Compare this to last year’s TI4 where the top 3 teams received over a million in prize winnings, this year, Valve is rewarding the successful participants that reached the grand stage and offers a generous amount to every team. The more they succeed, the higher the amount they will receive; hopefully placing at least above 6th place and earning more than a million for their team!
