Get ready to spend some Moonbucks.
Midas Mode 2.0 is very interesting for a couple of reasons. Apart from being the first big event to take place after TI 9 came to an end, Midas Mode is completely different than any other tournament out there. In fact, most consider it to be a “fun” tournament. Despite that, there is still a pretty good prize pool to it – $150K USD. Not a bad amount for goofing around!

It is pretty hard to explain what exactly is this tournament about. To make a long story short, teams need to spend the tournament currency called “Moonbucks” for nearly every single in-game action such as picking heroes and more. In addition, fans can buy certain parts of the map by paying actual money. There are even possibilities of people taking the role of Roshan.
In order to accumulate money, teams need to complete many different daily challenges. Needless to say, they need to use their Moonbucks wisely; the last thing a team would want is to lose all of them.
