Dota 2 richest teams are basically a history lesson with prize money attached. TI wins still decide most of the list, while Majors, Riyadh Masters, EWC, and other big LANs helped shape the rest.
As of September 2026, OG are still first with $37,785,607 in Dota 2 prize money. Team Liquid remain second, while Team Spirit moved much closer after winning The International 2026 and becoming the first organization with three Aegis.
#10. Vici Gaming
Vici Gaming are tenth with $11,038,643. For years, they were one of the strongest Chinese teams without a TI title.
Their best chance came at TI4, where they reached the final and lost to Newbee. Vici stayed relevant for years after that with strong Major and LAN results, which is enough to keep them in the top ten.
Key achievements:
- 2nd place at The International 2014
- 1st place at EPICENTER Major 2019
- 1st place at DreamLeague Season 11
- 1st place at ONE Esports Singapore 2019
- 1st place at The Summit 2
- 1st place at i-League Season 1
#9. Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro are ninth with $13,017,930. They never won TI, but their peak during the old DPC era was more than enough to build a huge prize-money total.
VP won several big events and regularly entered TI as one of the favorites. The Aegis never came, and that is still the main thing missing from that roster legacy.
Key achievements:
- 1st place at ESL One Katowice 2018
- 1st place at ESL One Hamburg 2017
- 1st place at The Summit 7
- 1st place at The Bucharest Major 2018
- 2nd place at ESL One Birmingham 2018
- 5–6th place at The International 2017
#8. Newbee
Newbee are eighth with $13,427,475. Most of that total comes from two huge TI runs: winning TI4 and reaching the TI7 final.
The later years ended badly, but their peak was still one of the strongest among Chinese organizations. Winning one TI and reaching another grand final keeps Newbee high on this list even years later.
Key achievements:
- 1st place at The International 2014
- 2nd place at The International 2017
- 1st place at Mars Dota 2 League 2016

#7. Tundra Esports
Tundra Esports are seventh with $15,460,300. TI11 gave them the biggest boost, but they kept winning after the Aegis.
Tundra later took FISSURE PLAYGROUND 1, several BLAST Slam events, DreamLeague Season 28, and ESL One Birmingham 2026. The organization left Dota 2 in June 2026, but the results from that run still put them comfortably inside the top ten.
Key achievements:

#6. Team Secret
Team Secret are sixth with $18,822,854. They never won TI, but few organizations stayed near the top for as long.
Different rosters kept winning big tournaments under Puppey, and Secret regularly made deep runs at major events. The TI 2022 final was their closest shot at the Aegis.
Key achievements:
- 2nd place at The International 2022
- 3rd place at The International 2021
- 1st place at DreamLeague Season 13
- 1st place at Chongqing Major 2019

#5. Evil Geniuses
Evil Geniuses are fifth with $22,241,699. Their TI5 victory remains the biggest result in North American Dota history.
EG also reached the TI podium several more times and stayed near the top for years. Even after leaving Dota 2, those results keep the organization high in the all-time ranking.

#4. LGD Gaming
LGD Gaming are fourth with $26,226,114. The total includes results from the PSG.LGD period, which some older earnings databases listed separately.
LGD reached the TI8 and TI10 finals, finished third at TI9, and won several other major events. They never got the Aegis, but years of deep tournament runs still put them fourth overall.
Key achievements:
- 2nd place at The International 2018
- 2nd place at The International 2021
- 3rd place at The International 2019
- 1st place at Riyadh Masters 2022
- 1st place at WePlay AniMajor 2021
- 2nd place at PGL Arlington Major 2022
#3. Team Spirit
Team Spirit are third with $33,036,580. Their third TI title in 2026 brought them much closer to Liquid and OG.
TI10 started the run, followed by another TI win in 2023, Riyadh Masters 2023, EWC 2025, and then The International 2026.
Team Spirit beat PARIVISION 3–2 in the grand final in Shanghai and became the first organization to win TI three times. Yatoro and Collapse also became the first players to win three Aegis as players. Team Spirit Make History With Third The International Title

- 1st place at Riyadh Masters 2023
- 1st place at PGL Wallachia Season 1
#2. Team Liquid
Team Liquid are second with $34,207,091. Their biggest advantage is longevity: several different rosters have added major titles to the same organization total.
Liquid won TI7, reached the TI9 final, and won TI again in 2024. Team Spirit are now only $1,170,511 behind, so second place is much less secure than it was before TI 2026.
Key achievements:
- 1st place at The International 2024
- 1st place at The International 2017
- 2nd place at The International 2019
- 1st place at PGL Wallachia Season 4
- 1st place at PGL Wallachia Season 3
- 1st place at China Dota2 Supermajor 2018
#1. OG
OG are still first with $37,785,607. TI8 and TI9 are the main reason nobody has passed them yet.
Back-to-back International wins brought OG enormous prize money, and the organization had already won four Valve Majors before that run. The current roster is far from those results, but the old lineup built a lead that still holds in 2026.
Key achievements:
- 1st place at The International 2019
- 1st place at The International 2018
- 1st place at The Kiev Major 2017
- 1st place at The Boston Major 2016
- 1st place at The Manila Major 2016
- 1st place at The Frankfurt Major 2015
Why the Race Is Still Open
OG remain first, but the gap is getting smaller. Team Liquid are $3,578,516 behind, while Team Spirit are $4,749,027 away after winning TI 2026.
With current prize pools, nobody is likely to erase that gap with one tournament. But Team Spirit are winning often enough that the top three could still change over the next few seasons.
