Update: Fan Contributions to Worlds Prize Pool

It’s been an incredible month of games leading up to the Finals at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Thanks for following us on the road across North America and supporting the best teams in the World on their journey to lift the Summoner’s Cup!

On the eve of Finals, here’s an update on the total prize pool that teams will take home, including all proceeds from fan purchases of Championship Zed and Championship ward skins.

Over the last few weeks, our total prize pool has been raised to $5.07MM - remember that you can still support the prize pool through November 6th, and we’ll announce the final total just after!

Check out our previous post for a breakdown of how this pool will be distributed amongst competing teams.

Thanks again for helping to support the best pro play in LoL esports. See you at the Finals!

As we mentioned in our last update, teams will take home a percentage of the overall pool, rather than a fixed amount. We’ll be awarding prizes as following:

• 1st place: 40%
• 2nd place: 15%
• 3rd/4th place: 7.5% (15% total)
• 5th-8th place: 4% (16% total)
• 9th-12th place: 2.25% (9% total)
• 13th-16th place: 1.25% (5% total)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the event, and see you at Staples Center!
