how this is counted
The share is the first-place prize from the placement table divided by the event’s announced pool. An event is listed only if the placement table adds up to the pool within 2%: otherwise part of the money is not recorded as placements, and the share would answer a different question. The season is events that started between Jun 1, 2025 and Jan 31, 2027, not counting cancelled or postponed ones. Equal shares share a place.

The Thunderpick World Championship 2025 stands apart among the big events: FURIA took 58.8% of its $850,000 pool, while the three Majors and the Esports World Cup 2025 all paid 40% to first place.
The lowest shares belong to formats that spread the money wide. Both BLAST Open events of 2026 gave their winners 22.7%, Team Vitality in the spring and Team Spirit in the autumn, and the Esports World Cup 2026, the richest title of the season, only 30%.
The highest share of the season came at BLAST Bounty Fall 2025, where Team Spirit took 60.0%, level with SINNERS Esports at MČR 2025; the two BLAST Bounty editions of 2026 paid their winners 38.1% and 36.0%.
