PGL released rapid payout to Cluj-Napoca participants

Following the conclusion of PGL Cluj-Napoca, the TO paid out their talent in very short order.

This led to a rave review from analyst Jacob "Pimp" Winneche on X:

I was paid for my work at PGL Cluj-Napoca less than 12 hours after I arrived home. In general TOs are great at keeping fair payment deadlines, but PGL takes it to the next step. As a freelancer I can only appreciate that 🤍 @pglesports

Dustin "dusT" Mouret also received his payout quickly, before he even boarded his flight home

I was paid by @pglesports before I even boarded my plane home yesterday. It was the same for the RMRs/Shanghai Major.

Graham "Messioso" Pitt, Complexity CS General Manager, chimed in with his own rave review:

Sent our prize money invoice for @pglesports Cluj yesterday and the payment was made today. I've gone on record before about this, but PGL are not only clearly the best in terms of payment speed but they're in their own league.

PGL are actively trying to challenge other more established CS2 tournament organizers such as ESL and BLAST, and they might just be able to shake up the scene if they keep doing little things like this.

Not to mention, the community thought PGL Cluj-Napoca was a great event despite some of the top teams missing. BLAST and ESL will have to bring their A-game in their upcoming events to match PGL's standards.
