At the end of the first season, NAVI confidently topped theESL Annual Club Incentive<\/a> rankings based on viewer points. The Ukrainian organization not only maintained its status as one of the scene\u2019s top favorites but also reaffirmed its consistent popularity among the audience. <\/p>\n\n

Despite a disappointing performance at the Major, where the team failed to advance to the playoffs, NAVI still finished the season among the most successful teams. The club\u2019s total prize money earnings amounted to $1,065,500<\/strong>, placing it among the top three teams of the season. Additionally, the organization will receive a share of the annual club prize pool of $3,150,000, which will be distributed among the 16 best teams of the year. All final ESL results have already been published<\/a> on the tournament operator\u2019s official website. <\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s worth noting the spectator points system, which became a key factor in the distribution of bonuses this year. For example, the IEM Cologne Major contributed 72 points out of a possible 720 to the overall seasonal standings and was also the fifth tournament on the 2026 calendar, which affects the club incentive fund. Teams that attend all events receive an additional multiplier\u2014this was created to encourage consistent participation in the ESL series. <\/p>\n

In this context, NAVI<\/a> stands out as particularly strong: in the five events they\u2019ve played, they\u2019ve earned 51 points and reached a total of 255, securing first place in the viewership rankings<\/strong>. Thanks to this result, the club will receive approximately $469,326 in bonus payments<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

At the IEM Cologne Major<\/a> itself, the Ukrainian team also posted strong media metrics\u2014second place in average viewership (CCV) with 653,000. Only the tournament champions\u2014Team Falcons\u2014finished ahead of them. <\/p>\n\n

And although NAVI\u2019s performance at the Major did not allow them to advance further in the playoffs, interest in the team\u2019s matches remains consistently high. This underscores once again that even during difficult times, the organization continues to enjoy strong fan support. <\/p>\n\n

Among other teams from the region, B8<\/strong> will also receive $234,663<\/strong> and Passion UA<\/strong> will receive $88,344<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
