For those not in the know, the Annual Club Incentive was designed to reward teams for their contribution to the ESL Pro Tour in the form of tournament attendance, viewership, and promotional activities related to ESL events. In its first year, this non-exclusive program, available to any team that wished to participate, rewarded 16 teams with the largest contributions based on the size of their contribution.
Team Falcons emerged as the top side on this leaderboard, a position the Saudi Arabian esports organization has held on to since the IEM Dallas 2025. The team took home $407,422 out of the $2,950,000 prize pool that was announced for the top 16 finishers.
How the leaderboard changed with every subsequent EPT event in 2025
Having sat in the fourth spot during the last update, The MongolZ jumped from fourth place to second on the final standing, earning $295,313. FURIA, who clinched one of its biggest trophies in China, rounded off the podium to become richer by $281,250.
The top 16 placers will be paid out in the first quarter of 2026. Moreover, the standings will now reset, and all teams will start from scratch next year, starting with the season-opening event: the IEM Kraków, which will run from January 28 to February 8 at the Tauron Arena in Poland and carry a total purse of $1,250,000.
