Raising the Stakes: Dota 2 Community Proposes Bold Moves to Boost The International 2024 Prize Pool

Dota 2 enthusiasts have brainstormed several strategies to boost the prize fund for The International 2024, expressing hopes that Valve will address their concerns to avoid a repeat of the previous year's notably low prize money issue. This topic has sparked considerable debate on Reddit.

A key point raised in the discussion was the possibility of revisiting the previous Battle Pass format or increasing the percentage of compendium sales allocated to the tournament's prize pool. Last year, the contribution from player expenditures was limited to 25%, a figure many players deem insufficient for a competition of this magnitude. There's a strong call from the community to elevate this figure to at least 75%.

An alternative approach suggested involves direct donations, with 100% of these funds going towards the prize pool or the organization of TI13. Another innovative proposal includes the re-introduction of achievement goals, offering the community specific rewards from the developers upon reaching designated fundraising targets.
