This notebook is how I get this dataset from the liquipedia website.

Content

There are two files: tier1_tournament and tier2_tournament. Like the name suggest, tier1 contains data on Tier 1 Dota 2 tournaments like The International. As for the later, it contains Tier 2 Doat 2 tournaments. According to Liquipedia, tournaments that satisified certain criteria will be categorized as Tier 1,2,3 or 4.

Tier 1: Prize pool around $300,000+
"Former Premier. Tier 1 Tournaments offer an outstanding prize pool, are almost exclusively played offline, and feature the best teams from all over the world."

Tier 2: Prize pool around$50,000+
"Former Major. Tier 2 Tournaments feature a large prize pool and a good number of top-tier teams."

The data dated as far as 2011 for Tier 1 tournaments. As for Tier 2, the oldest tournament was held as far back as 2006
