Since the launch of the Dota Ti event, it has consistently topped the total prize money rankings of esports, constantly breaking its own records every year, and many other events are difficult to catch up with.
The reason why many game events that are hotter than him are not as high as the prize money is that the small book that players love and hate plays a role. The DOTA2 booklet is the warrior's warrant in the game, which is launched every year before the TI competition, and since the dota invented the small book, the annual Ti competition has become a carnival for many electronic sports enthusiasts. In addition to the peak duels between players, there are also high prize money brought by small books. For example, last year's ti10 prize money totaled as high as 40 million US dollars, and the champion directly took the equivalent of 130 million yuan in prize money, such a generous prize pool, in exchange for who is not impressed.
The Dota Book was originally released on the eve of the third Edition of The International. At that time, the official first released the "Interactive Guide to the International" and was called a "small book" by players. At that time, the reward could not be compared with the current price of only 9.99 US dollars, could not be upgraded, and later, after year-by-year optimization, Ti small book became the audience to increase the level of the small book by recharging, so as to get the reward of the event, thereby converting the audience's input into event prize money. This operation can be said to be quite successful. Subsequently, many game makers imitated dota 2's approach. Unfortunately, almost no success has been done.
I have to say that the invention of the dota2 small book is a wave of god operation, the annual Ti event competition becomes more intense, the competition is more exciting, although the Dota 2 is not as popular as other games now, but it is still enduring, it must be part of the reason for the small book
