Prizepool distribution
While quite a few had hoped to see the additional funds gathered through Compendium sales go towards expanding the prizepool beyond just the top eight teams, there has still been a proportionally greater increase for the 2nd to 8th place finishers than for the 1st place team, meaning that simply getting into the top 8 this year is far more rewarding. So far the originally 1,6million USD prizepool has been raised by just over 1,1million USD, passing the 2,7million USD mark.
Distribution
1st Place - $1,358,686 USD (+36%)
2nd Place - $597,822 USD (+139%)
3rd Place - $271,737 USD (+81%)
4th Place - $190,216 USD (+138%)
5th-6th Place - $108,695 USD (+210%)
7th-8th Place - $40,761 USD (+63%)
