This is a player’s WHOLE-CAREER prize money — not what they won at the current club, and not the club’s own money. Adding the column up by club and calling the result “the club’s prize money” would be wrong: a player carried it in from every team they played for, and rosters change. The whole sample is 40 players of these teams of 8 clubs. “Record” here means “first in this table”.

Team Vitality’s whole roster sits in the top eight of this list: apEX, ropz and ZywOo are first to third, flameZ fifth and mezii eighth. Together its five players have earned over their careers about twice as much as Team Spirit’s five, the second club by this measure.
b1t, sixth with about $1.6 million, has had a single roster spell in his career, at Natus Vincere since December 2020, so all of it was won with one club; apEX, at the top, has had 13 spells.
The spread inside the sample is wide: the top three players hold almost a quarter of all its prize money, while half the 40 earned less than about $570,000.
