kinda is last year, ewc prize pool bigger than ti by 2.3m usd
4th place ewc won 400k, 2nd place ti won around that
we'll see this year though, ewc prize pool is at 3m
problem is they split the cosmetics battle pass with the compendium last year so TI prize pool actually went down
been like that the last two TIs actually

Despite TI not having the highest price pool anymore, for me it feels like it's still been the most hype event of the year regardless. I have barely followed dota since last TI though so I'm a bit out of the loop. I've watched almost every tier 1 tournament from around 2018 until 2024 TI, but the interest kinda faded off for me slowly when most players I liked watching started to quit or went into terrible teams that couldn't perform. Sad that 2020 didn't have TI, the secret lineup with matu seemed unstoppable. I think they won like 8 tournaments in a row, it was a good time being secret fan.

Yeah, I was kinda rooting for XG but Falcons is good as well, no really hard feelings either way
