$2 million up for grabs at the 2014 League of Legends World Championship

League of Legends might not be the most lucrative tournament title in eSports any more, but it's certainly not a mug's game either.

The 2014 League of Legends World Championship boasts a total prize pool of over $2 million.

The prizes are outlined in the tournament's rule book [PDF], as noted by Gamespot, and include a whopping $1 million grand prize for the victorious team.

Second place will score $250,000, with third and forth place receiving $150,000. The rest of the top eight will score $75,000 each.

The first time it fronted million dollar prize pools, League of Legends set records for eSports - but Dota 2 has since taken its crown. The recent International had a total prize pool of over $10 million, with the majority raised via fan purchases of The Compendium.
