ESL announce first set of club incentive program standings

The current standings post-IEM Katowice have fan-favorites NAVI, Spirit, G2, and FaZe making up the top four. More information on the calculations and where the teams stand may be found here.

ESL previously announced how their Annual Club Incentive would work to pay out teams. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of ESL events a team has participated in by the sum of points earned by the team's viewership numbers.

The top four teams took home eight viewership points apiece from the total of 72 up for offer after Katowice. The standings are due for another update after the conclusion of ESL Pro League Season 21 and its 126 viewership points are handed out. Notably, FaZe are not among the teams competing at this edition of Pro League.

In order to have a share of the Annual Club Incentive, a team cannot decline more than two invites to the seven ESL events in a single year.
