Valve uses -greedisgood, TI5's prize pool passes $7,000,000

As of today, the prize pool for The International 5 has hit the $7.2 million mark, having crossed the seven million mark yesterday; this marks the 350th percent increase of the prize pool which started at 1.6 million.

Repeating the same performance as last year's The International 4, the prize pool for The International 5 has skyrocketed and recently surpassed the $7,000,000 mark, as of writing, the prize pool is $7.2 million, a 352% increase from the original prize pool. The $7,000,000 mark is also the mark at which the 11th stretch goal, Immortal Treasure II, stands; the next stretch goal is a Dota2 short film contest at the $8,000,000 mark, about $800,000 away.

With the current rate of growth, it seems likely that the prize pool will break $10,000,000 easily and also surpass TI4's prize pool by at least $1,000,000. 

This year, the prize pool for The International grew a lot faster than last year's The International, with TI5's prize pool crossing the $7,000,000 mark on the ninth day of crowd funding, eleven days faster than last year having taken 20 days to hit this point. It is also worth noting that the daily prize pool growth rate difference for TI4 and 5 averages out to around $40,000 if the first day is excluded;  the first day of crowd funding for TI5 saw an almost $2,000,000 growth in its prize pool; $1,000,000 more then the first day last year.
