This is at The International, the grand prize is $1 Million... making up most of the $1.6 million prize pool...
The International is sort of the Super Bowl of DOTA 2. It is the final big matchup of the season. After a couple weeks or so, a new season will begin and there will be other matches with other prize amounts until the next International...
Each major eSport has its own final. League of Legends has their North American finals going on now as well with the final world championship taking starting Oct 13th...
