The Esports World Cup isn't going anywhere—in fact, it's taking up more and more space in the esports scene. One of the tournament’s key initiatives is its esports club support program, where participating organizations receive financial backing from the event’s organizers. Many teams use these funds to sign new rosters and players.

A total of 19 new clubs have joined the program, including Heroic, MOUZ, and Team Spirit. However, nine previous partners failed to make the cut this time, including Blacklist International, Guild Esports, OG, NRG, Talon, TSM, LGD Gaming, Tundra Esports, and Spacestation Gaming.

In total, the Esports World Cup will distribute around $20 million, with top-tier clubs eligible for up to $1 million—a significant sum that can cover a large portion of operational costs.

Given this, it’s likely that these partnered clubs will have a strong presence at the Esports World Cup. The tournament itself is set to take place this summer, featuring 25 different games, including all major esports titles.
