The organization made waves earlier this year when it expanded a guaranteed $250,000 prize pool for users betting on League of Legends matches to $1 million. The number rose even further one week ago, when Vulcun guaranteed $4 million would be offered during 2015.
The latest increase in prize offerings came along with a move into Dota 2, another of the world’s biggest competitive gaming titles. With Counter-Strike: Global Offensive growing each month and passing milestones like surpassing one million concurrent viewers for ESL Katowice—just a year after the same tournament was watched by 250,000—the move into the popular first-person shooter is a logical next step.
Vulcun will specifically be partnering with Faceit, the esports league organizer that recently increased prize pools for its latest season of Counter-Strike to $275,000 split across European, North American, and Oceanic regions.
