How does the Esports World Cup Club Championship work?

The Esports World Cup Club Championship is a crucial part of this year’s competition in Riyadh. This competition will determine the best “club” (organization) of the entire competition.

The club championship functions a bit like an Olympic medal table and has a huge prize pool of $20 million.

Each tournament at the Esports World Cup will provide the same number of points towards the championship, meaning that organizations that perform well in multiple games will be rewarded. This will result in organizations returning to esports or entering for the first time that they have not previously been involved in.

Additionally, it gives fans of an esports team a reason to follow the entire World Championship and not just their favorite titles. The Esports World Championship will have an overall winner, with one organization coming out on top.

The organizations are not just after fame. There is a whopping $20 million up for grabs. This will be split between the 16 best performing organizations. The winning organization alone will receive a whopping $7 million. That is game-changing money at a time of financial difficulty in the esports sector.

In the event of a tie, the following criteria will be decisive:

In the event that clubs are tied on points in any position below first place, the money for that position will be split without the use of tiebreakers.
