Evil Geniuses Take Home Record $6.6M First Prize In Valve's 'Dota 2' International

A few different records were set by the end of Valve’s fifth world championship for Dota 2, The International. One is that an American team won for the first time, with Evil Geniuses besting China’s CDEC for the crown. The second is that the five members of the winning team, Fear, PPD, Aui, Sumail, and Universe, took home the lion’s share of Valve’s unprecedented, crowdfunded $18M prize pool, splitting a $6.6M first place haul among them.
