Annual Club Incentive Update – Post EPL Katowice

ESL Pro League Season 24 in Katowice coming to an end means bringing our second to last update to the Annual Club Incentive for 2026. 

As per usual, the ranking is updated based on viewership data from Esports Charts. The 16 teams in attendance have been ranked based on their average concurrent viewers in the group stage. As a reminder, Playoffs are not factored in. 

The top 12 teams of the 16 teams attending ESL Pro League Season 24 based on average concurrent viewers were awarded viewership points based on the points matrix.

This event marked the second to last event of the year contributing to the 2026 Annual Club Incentive, just one event remaining before standings are final. The event distributed 126 viewership points, out of the 720 points available in 2026. The final 108 points will be distributed after IEM Beijing.

For disclosure, Team Spirit were originally ranked fourth based on the average concurrent viewers out of all teams, but they’ve not been included into the standings due to recording three tournament declines during the 2025–2026 period. They are therefore no longer eligible to earn or receive ACI rewards for the remainder of 2026, meanwhile their attendance/skipping events in 2026 will count towards 2027 ACI. They are once again eligible for ACI rewards in 2027.

ESL Pro League Season 24 champions from Team Vitality have moved into second place, with Natus Vincere still taking top of the table by a large margin. 

With the year approaching its end, the Event Multiplier continues to favour those teams who consistently attended our events. This has generated the below current standings for the Annual Club Incentive.
