After the conclusion of IEM Rio, ESL updated the 2026 Annual Club Incentive ranking, which is based on average concurrent viewers and a bonus points system for clubs.
Following the event, Ukrainian teams stood out in particular, with NAVI reaching the top 3 in average viewership at the tournament, while B8 Esports and Passion UA secured positions close to the top 10.
In the overall seasonal standings after three events this year, FURIA and Team Spirit are sharing the lead, while NAVI have cemented a top-3 position, maintaining consistently strong results. Ukrainian teams remain competitive: B8 are holding mid-table in the top 10, and Passion UA are also within the broader competitive group, giving them a chance to earn a share of the $3.15 million prize pool. The next stop on the ESL Pro Tour will be IEM Atlanta.
As a reminder, ESL will host ESL Pro League Season 25 in Saudi Arabia
