The starting prize pool of the championship will be $650,000, but ESL Pro League in-game items will bolster the prize pool.
21% of in-game sales go directly the 11 league participants, and another 9% goes to the prize pool of the Six Invitational 2019. Organizers predict that the prize pool will eventually rise to over $1 million once the revenue sharing is included.
We spoke with EMEA Rainbow Six Esports director Francois Xavier Daniele about the introduction of esports skins and much more.
