The total prize pool for the League of Legends 2016 Season World Championship has grown to over $5 million because of sales of the Championship Zed and Championship ward skins, Riot Games announced Friday. With the previously announced split of the pool, the new total pushes the first-place prize to just over $2 million.

The initial prize pool for the event was $2.13 million but Riot announced in September that 25 percent of the sales of the aforementioned skins would directly support the prize pool. The prize pool hit $4 million earlier in October, and continued sales of the skins have now pushed it to a total amount of just over $5 million.

Sales of the two skins will continue to support the prize pool until Nov. 6, at which time the final prize figures will be revealed.

The finals of the LoL 2016 World Championship will be played Saturday, Oct. 29. SKT Telecom T1 and Samsung Galaxy are the two remaining teams who will battle for LoL's ultimate prize.
