The International Compendium Prize Pool has reached $8,000,000, hitting goal after goal and making new records in the history of Digital Sports. Unlocking stretch goals 15, 16, and 17, the immortal item rewards has given a breath of new life to prize pool.
The previous rewards unlocked were the Alternate Voice pack and Favourie Hero Challenge at $7,200,000 and $7,600,000 respectively.
The Alternate Voice Pack, Favourite Hero Challenge, and Model Update Vote, like most of its counterpart compendium stretch goal rewards is currently 'under construction', and will be released by Valve at an as of yet unspecified date.
Alternate Voice Pack:

Favourite Hero Challenge:

Model Update Vote:
Vote for the hero you'd like to receive a reworked model
The unannounced release of the immortal compendium rewards yesterday has created a buying frenzy among the Dota 2 community, with the prize pool rising $600,000 in just 14 hours.
Apparently this sudden rise in compendium and compendium points purchases is attributed to the prize and reward system for these immortal cosmetics, which has been highly popular among players and traders alike.
The sale of the compendium and its points have netted a total of $25,600,000 for Valve. With a simple calculation, one can deduce the amount of money Valve has currently earned. Although the amount spent on compendium and its points have since slowed down from when it first went on sale, it seems to be going strong with the latest update.
