Ahead of the Esports World Cup (ESWC), the organizers have now listed all 30 esports organisations that will be a part of their ESWC Foundation Club Support Program. The partners include some of the biggest names in the esports industry.

All of these esports organisations will receive extra financial aid even if they are not able to qualify for the Esports World Cup tournament. Furthermore, if they are able to qualify, they can compete in front of the prize pool for the events.

Here are all the esports organisations currently revealed -

• 100 Thieves
• Blacklist International
• Cloud9
• Gen.G
• Guild
• Karmine Corp
• KOI
• LGD Gaming
• LOUD
• OG

Out of these 30, eight were selected through open application out of the 150 received by the Esports World Cup. “Applications were judged on three core criteria: a Club’s esports pedigree, its forward-looking competitive strategy and goals, and its creative approach to content and fan engagement,” as per the official statement.

As part of the ESWC Foundation Club Support Program, these organizations will be receiving six-figure funding. Running an esports org in this day and age can be quite rough. This funding from the ESWC will further help them expand through various channels, these include -

Re-enter their previous esports title or join various new gaming genres in the industry.

Sign new players to their roster from various regions to create a better team.

Further hiring staff for increased fan engagement through better content creation.

However, all the organizations in the ESWC Foundation Club Support Program need to be aware that being a part of the program will not affect their standing in the Esports World Cup in any way. All teams will need to secure their spots.
