What's more is the ECS is providing $1,250,000 for Season 5 to go both towards the prize pool and supportive funds for "player and team stability. This includes helping organizations provide better salaries, facilities and equipment that will improve the overall conditions and welfare for players, while furnishing the ecosystem of the ECS with a more structured framework to operate within," ECS writes.
