The prize pool distribution for ESL One Pro League Season 4 has been changed due to the expansion of teams in both the regular season and LAN finals, ESL announced Friday.

"With this season's changes including the expanded divisions (from 12 teams to 14), as well as finals (from 8 teams to 12), adjustments to the prize money distribution were in order," ESL said in a statement.

While the total prize pool remains unchanged at $750,000, the changes mean that some teams who fail to qualify for the LAN Finals will receive less money than they did for Season 3. For example, a team that finished in seventh place during the online season will now receive $18,000 as opposed to the $20,000 they would have won in Season 3. This is to compensate for the fact that there are 14 teams competing in the regular season as opposed to 12.

For teams competing in the LAN Finals, third and fourth place teams will now receive $1,000 more, while teams placing between fifth and eighth will receive $1,000 less.

The prize distribution for both the online season and LAN Finals will now be as follows:

LAN Finals

1st: $200,000 (unchanged)

2nd: $90,000 (unchanged)

3rd-4th: $45,000 (formerly $44,000)
