Their government has a spending limit so this could be the reason for the lower prize pool.

I'd assume one of the reasons for them to lower the prize pool is because they added a point system through different pro scenes and it had a $60m prize pool. If this system didn't exist we'd maybe see Dota get a bigger prize pool, but the reduction in prize pool is for the better if it means they'll include the other titles as well.

There's another 1win tournament currently ongoing and we get to see some top-tier dotes between Gladiators and Team Spirit later in the grand final, while Entity and 1win fight for the third place. I would've taken the over maps for the finals, but unfortunately, I can't find the pre-live odds for this tournament.

Team Spirit did take the 1Win Summer tournament for Dota2 yesterday.

Yes I would have to agree with you there. Riyadh Masters is the next huge event for Dota2 and their time it begins on July 3rd their local time from what I remember seeing in a post on X.
Here is a post saying the festivities begin a day before the play begins:
