PGL’s upcoming Bucharest 2025 event is going through a significant financial restructuring. While the overall prize pool stays put at a hefty $1.25 million, the distribution has been changed by PGL. Now, the participating clubs will be able to receive a full 50% of the winnings.
PGL’s CEO Silviu Stroie has recently explained the prize pool payment structure on X. Now, PGL’s structure is more in sync with industry heavyweights like BLAST’s Frequent Flyer and ESL’s Annual Club Incentive.
Basically, a wave of boycotts from major organizations, driven by the lack of revenue sharing, forced PGL to take this decision. The absence of powerhouse teams like Natus Vincere, Vitality, and more from their Cluj-Napoca event, along with numerous other protesting clubs, sent a clear message.
Do you think this move will revive PGL’s upcoming CS2 events? Let us know in the comment section below.
