Currently the total prize pool have exceeded last year’s TI7’s prize pool at $24,802,634 (MYR 101,777,608)! Last year’s TI7 was only at $24,787,916 (MYR 101,717,213) which is about $23,000 less compared to the current amount! There’s still about 5 more days till the Main Event is over so the final prize pool amount could go even higher.
