The programmes operated by the tournament organisers offered teams that regularly compete in their Counter-Strike 2 tournaments a chance to earn additional revenue in addition to prize money.
Both initiatives from ESL and BLAST reward teams for frequent appearances at their respective tournaments. ESL considers average concurrent viewership to determine the share for teams competing in ESL Pro Tour events. BLAST awards ‘Tokens’ for teams attending at least four of its events, along with event placement.
