Falcons rise to second in ESL's Annual Club Incentive standings after IEM Melbourne 2025

ESL updated its Annual Club Incentive standings on May 14th, little over two weeks after the conclusion of IEM Melbourne, the third ESL Pro Tour event of 2025.

And Falcons, the runners-up of IEM Melbourne, have moved up to second place in ESL's Annual Club Incentive standings. The Saudi-backed team didn't win the tournament, however, they had an average of 222,376 concurrent viewers, topping all other teams.

Falcons had over 75,000 more average concurrent viewers than Vitality (144,733) and Natus Vincere (142,611), who rounded out the top three.

The 12 highest-ranked teams of IEM Melbourne were awarded viewership points based on a points matrix before an event multiplier generates the overall standings for the $2,950,000 pool of the Annual Club Incentive that will conclude at the end of 2025.

For now, NAVI are in the lead and will earn 13.1% of the Annual Club Incentive pool ($386,017). Falcons come in second with 11% ($323,573), and Liquid round out the top three with 10.27% ($300,866).
