The organizers of the Elite League have become embroiled in a scandal: the top teams in the world still have not received their prize money

The organizers of the Elite League have suspended their Dota 2 tournaments due to financial issues, and the world's top teams have yet to receive their prize money.

ESB representatives have notified the clubs about the issues via official letters.

It is reported that the organizers are negotiating with partners to secure funds for the current payouts. Meanwhile, the Elite League tournament series has been put on hold, along with all other Tier 1 projects by the company. ESB announced plans to settle its debts with the teams by the end of 2024. To achieve this, the company aims to generate revenue through tournament coverage and other business activities.

ESB emphasized that the financial setbacks occurred because sponsors failed to transfer the necessary funds to the tournament organizers. The top teams in the world still have not received their prize money. However, many clubs are not panicking and are likely to wait for the payouts in the near future.
