Revelation: In addition to the prize pool, each participating team in the EWC receives an additional $125,000.

Distribution of prize pool for the League of Legends tournament in the Saudi Arabian Esports World Cup:

T1 - $400,000

Top Esports - $200,000

Team Liquid , G2 Esports - $100,000

Bilibili Gaming , Fnatic , Generation Gaming , Fly - $50,000

However, from what I understand, considering the short schedule and lower prize money of the League of Legends tournament, Saudi Arabia additionally provided $1 million.

This $1 million is evenly distributed among the 8 teams, with each team receiving $125,000.

This money is similar to a subsidy, in addition to the standard reimbursement, teams can use it for upgrades and enjoy better meals and entertainment.

Therefore, even if they only received $50,000 in prize money, with the additional $125,000 subsidy, it is definitely worthwhile for the teams to travel to Saudi Arabia.

It can only be said that the benefactor is indeed generous. The popularity and prize money of the League of Legends tournament are not proportional. Being able to give each team an additional $125,000 ensures that the clubs will not lose money at the very least.
