The World's Greatest Gaming Tournaments TI4

Valve and the Dota 2 community have outdone themselves. The International 2014 (TI4)’s prize pool has hit its final stretch goal of $10 million, unlocking all 22 stretch goals with an additional surprise reward 
for an Unusual Techies Taunt. That’s around three a half times the prize pool of $2.8 million from the previous International’s and more than six times of the base prize pool of $1.6 million.

TI4’s prize pool is the first eight-digit prize pool in both the history of The International and in eSports tournaments worldwide. It is also the first time the Compendium has broken its final stretch goal twice.
