The management of the Electronic Sports League confirmed that they will clear all the backlogged prizes for the competitions under their host, with this action being effective in the next weeks.

It is know that some organizations that host events tend to take too long to pay the prizes, and the European Electronic Sports League has not been an exception in the past years but it seems like this situation will change in the near future. The management of the ESL revealed a statement on their website where they confirm the payment of all the backlogged prizes before the start of the third month of the year.

The full statement reads:

"Over the last 12 years the ESL has paid out over $12,000,000 in prize money. Historically, there have been issues with some prize money being paid late. We have worked hard to eradicate these issues over the last 18 months and are now working on the final, remaining backlog of overdue prizes. We can announce today that this process will be completed by the end of February and there will be no overdue prize money at that point.
If you or your team have not been paid prize money by then, please use our ticketing system available here: http://www.esl.eu/eu/prizemoney.

We apologise for any inconvenience you may have gone through during this period.

We are taking this topic extremely seriously and to address any further concerns our CEO Ralf Reichert will conduct a Reddit AMA about this topic early next week."
