   @benhur07b It almost feels like Valve has reduced the prize pool on purpose by making the battle pass worthless. There might be some logic to it, if the prize pool is too big players just retire after one year.

     OG really peaked at the right time. Winning back-to-back TIs with the 2nd and 3rd highest prize pool in history.

     For the past 2 years (TI 2022 and TI 2023), the prize pool has fallen precipitously. It's down to just ~$3M this year, the lowest since TI3 a decade ago.

     From a financial point of view, it sucks to win it all this year and get the same prize money as a 5-6th place team from 3 years ago.
