EG leads the chart as an organization having won the most amount of prize money in Dota 2. EG's earnings are at a staggering $18,358,204 in terms of winnings and it makes them top the charts so far. This is largely due to EG winning TI5 as well as coming in at third place during TI4 and TI6. Winnings from TI alone takes EG's tally to $12,904,539 out of the total prize money earned thereby highlighting the discrepancy in pay-outs between TI and other events. Team Liquid and OG occupy second and third position, respectively. Both teams have the ultimate trophy one can boast of in the history of Dota 2; The Aegis. Besides winning TI, both teams have also won many DPC tournaments such as Majors, especially OG, who won multiple Majors since the DPC came into existence. NewBee and PSG.LGD occupy fourth and fifth position, respectively. While NewBee has also has the Aegis under its belt, it is interesting to note that LGD is not far behind the TI4 champions despite not winning a single TI.
