Dota 2: Money Leaders

Edit: updated list: http://costaguanan.blogspot.com/2012/08/dota-2-2012-earnings.html

I compiled the information on dota2wiki.com's tournament information into some team money leaders tables. Some caveats: I only looked at the tournaments and leagues that have a first place prize of $1,000 or more, I converted all non-US dollar prizes into USD, and the dota2wiki.com page may be missing some tournaments so this list may not be complete. I'll try to update this periodically and check to see if I missed any tournaments.

The headers are as follows: Team, Winnings (total tournament prize dollars won), Total Events (events entered with a cash prize of $1,000 or more), Wins (number of events won), In the Money (number of events where the team won cash), LAN Events (event held offline), Win % (% of events won), In the Money % (% of events where the team finished in the money) and Country.

The first table is 2011-2012 team earnings as of the SLTV StarSeries Season 2 tournament. As expected, NaVi dominates the Dota 2 winnings. NaVi has 6 wins while only one other team--Orange--has more than 1. The top of the table mainly has teams that won money from the huge $1,600,000 prize pool available at The International. To put that in perspective, total Winnings for this period was $1,800,000 so The International accounts for approximately 90% of Winnings over this period.

The second table is just for the calendar year 2012. NaVi, mTw, and Mousesports are the only teams with more than $10,000 in Winnings--though this will change drastically after the 2012 International.
