Last year the DOTA 2 International Championships set a record for the largest ever esports prize pool of $20,770,460. Yeah, that's quite the number. With a percentage of the proceeds from Battle Pass sales going towards the number, this year is already on track to surpass last year's record. In that it has done so already.
With several more weeks of sales still to go. You can check out the current prize pool figure, and get more info on this year's Battle Pass

So if you win a major tournie you'll be doing OK for yourself, but otherwise your income is virtually non-existent. LoL and other esports tend to have lower prize pools, but a better support for players. SOUNDS LIKE COMMUNISM!!
