How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 TI10 against TI1 to see the twenty five to one gap.
Crowdfunding compendiums built TI4 through TI10, so rows pin finals with the base Valve seed noted. Currency shifts never apply because every purse paid in dollars. TI12 shrank under a new compendium and stays noted but unrowed. Regional leagues pay separately and stay out of championship rows. Winners took about half each purse after org cuts, noted. Exchange rates never applied since all purses paid dollars.
