The U.S. team Evil Geniuses won on Dota 2’s biggest stage last night, earning a $6.6 million prize and becoming the first American squad to win the International tournament. Evil Geniuses defeated the Chinese rummy nabob team CDEC, generally considered to be an underdog, 3-1 in the best-of-five Grand Finals late Saturday night, capping off a week of non-stop Dota 2. The prize pool for this year’s International, hosted by Valve at the KeyArena Center in Seattle, was a whopping $18 million. CDEC took

home $2.8 million. All

five players who competed for Evil Geniuses—Fear, PPD, Aui, Sumail, and Universe—are now millionaires. Sumail’s story is particularly rummy noble fascinating—the rummy satta 16-year-old Pakistani says that when he was growing up, he sold his bike so he could play more Dota. Now he’s the youngest millionaire in eSports.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1722961793","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); You can watch the entirety of the Grand Finals here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u2NuuVLFT0 You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on Twitter at rummy satta
