Alongside individual tournaments, the Esports World Cup provides overall performance incentives for its partnered club teams in a Club Championship program. Whenever an org's roster wins a competition, it receives a designated amount of Club Championship Points based on its performance. These points accumulate throughout the entire EWC run, and at the end of the event, the team with the highest CC Point amount is crowned that year's esports victor. In 2024, Team Falcons took the crown, so several newcomers are looking to shake up the standings.It's important to remember that Esports World Cup Club Championship team standings change after every tournament, so they will frequently shift over Week 3. However, as of July 21 2025, the rankings begin as follows:
1st Place: Team Vitality
2nd Place: Gen.G Esports
3rd Place: Team Falcons
4th Place: AG.AL
The 1st place winning Club Team will take home a 7 million USD prize, 1/10th of the 2025 EWC's total prize pool. 2nd place gains 4 million USD and 3rd earns 3 million USD. Lower placements recieve a proportionately decreasing share of the prize pool.
The 2025 Esports World Cup has several social media channels where it streams its events live. Most of these broadcasts include live chat functions, so fans and viewers can interact with each other.
