Admiral Bulldog is auctioning off his TI3 championship ring

The ebay listing for Bulldog’s TI13 Championship Ring is set to end on Sunday, Jan. 9. On top of a starting price of $70,000, and a possible reserve price, the ring also has a $99,000 ‘buy it now’ price.

Inlaid with diamonds forming a symbol of the Aegis, and flanked with additional diamonds and engravings showcasing the Alliance logo, it’s a very unique piece, and a great example of the US style of sporting championship rings.

Commenting on the auction, on Monday, Jan. 5, Ahnberg had this to say:

“To clarify since I’ve gotten lots of questions about it. Yes the listing is real, no It’s not being sold out of desperation. It’s just a ring, an awesome ring, I love the ring, but I BELIEVE it’s monetary value exceeds the sentimental value to me.”

Valve, creator of Dota 2 and host of The International, have issued TI Championship Rings to the winners since the first edition in 2011. Based on sporting championship rings common in American sports such as NFL Football and NBA Basketball, the rings are customized and uniquely engraved.

There are only five or six made each year (a coach or sub sometimes gets a sixth ring), and at the time of writing, only around 80 exist in total. However, less than 50 people own them due to the fact some teams and individual players have won multiple TIs.

It’s thought that the TI ring is the first to have appeared in open auction. Similar championship rings for Superbowls and NBA Finals commonly go for between $25,000 – $100,000 in auction, depending on the original owner.

With just under five days left on the auction, it’s unknown whether this piece of Dota 2 competitive history will find a new owner.
