If there were an award for the most unique way for a game developer to determine the prize pool for their first party tournament, Supercell would be grabbing it away quite easily this year. A derivative idea of something Dota 2 used to do with their battle pass prize pool but Supercell went ahead and did one over them – by crowdfunding the entire prize pool through an in-game skin bundle.
Astonishingly enough, the prize pool reached a whopping total of $1 Million dollars!
What is the Fang skin bundle & what is the Brawl Stars World Finals 2024’s Prize Pool?
The Fang Skin bundle was first released three days ago as a Brawl Stars World Finals 2024 special bundle that could be unlocked on purchase with the special skin “The Fans” and special profile icons and emojis. The bundle was priced at $10 with prices varying from region to region.Â
Supercell went on to make a statement that the prize pool would come from the proceedings of the Fang Skin bundle but with a term. The term was that the prize pool had a hard set cap of $1 Million. Ever since the cap was hit, the bundle is still present on the store meaning that the prize pool will not increase anymore but would most probably be owned by the organization to fund their operations.Â
The World Finals of Brawl Stars have had various ways to come up with the prize pool every consecutive year. In fact, Supercell went on to donate $500,000 to the base prize pool in 2022, which then was increased to $1 Million through crowdsourced revenue through in-game items.
