The main points are:
Apollo also teases that even more might be in the pipeline. Check out the official announcement on Twiter: You can also find more detailed information on the official ESL site.

You got it right on the three main pillars we have, and if you want any more full details it's gone through in an article here. Hard to say which one I'm happiest about but I think the combination of higher ESL Open Cup prize pool and ensuring we can coordinate on map rotations will be huge for keeping the competition fresh in the coming months and years. | ||

- More quality content to promote the game - More money to support the players that won't top 16 every premier event - MAPS Great stuff! Thanks for caring about the game... unlike some. | ||

For the long term life of the scene top 8 payout and maps are obviously amazing as well, all of this really feels like changes that makes a difference. Thanks everyone that made this possible! (A treat to get to see and hear Apollo again, feels like an old friend) | ||
