For well established games, total prize money can amount to millions of U.S. dollars a year. As of 10 September 2016, "Dota 2" has awarded approximately US$86 million in prize money within 632 registered tournaments, with 23 players winning over $1 million. "League of Legends" awarded approximately $30 million within 1749 registered tournaments, but in addition to the prize money, Riot Games provides salaries for players within their "League of Legends" Championship Series. Nonetheless, there has been criticism to how these salaries are distributed, since most players earn a fairly low wage but a few top players have a significantly higher salary, skewing the average earning per player. In August 2018, The International 2018, Valve's annual premier "Dota 2" tournament, was held and broke the record for holding the largest prize pool to date for any esports tournament, amounting to over US$25 million.
