Annual Club Incentive Update – Post EPL Season 22

With the conclusion of ESL Pro League Season 22, we’re bringing an update to the Annual Club Incentive.

In line with all previous updates, the ranking is updated based on viewership data from Esports Charts. The 24 teams in attendance have been ranked based on their average concurrent viewers in either Stage 1 or 2. As a reminder, only the highest and only one value per team is included, with Playoffs not factored in.

The top 12 teams of the 24 teams attending ESL Pro League Season 22 based on average concurrent viewers were awarded viewership points based on the points matrix.
