The International Esports Federation acknowledges the concerns raised regarding the 15% deduction in prize pool payouts to certain winners of the World Esports Championship 2024. We want to assure all stakeholders that this matter has been thoroughly investigated and resolved, and we remain committed to the highest standards of transparency.

Differences in accounting systems, invoice timing, payments, and financial balancing have led to temporary imbalances in the financial records, and both financial teams have reconciled these discrepancies. We acknowledge that our trusted host and financial partners fulfilled their obligations in accordance with agreed timelines and protocols.

Following close coordination between both financial teams, all discrepancies have now been addressed, and prize distributions are being updated to reflect the full amounts owed. As part of IESF’s governance framework, the Audit, Risk, and Governance Committee is conducting a final review to validate the resolution. Once complete, all affected nations will receive the remaining balance of their prize winnings without further delay.

IESF reaffirms its dedication to transparency, accountability, and close collaboration with all member nations and partners. We appreciate the patience and understanding of the esports community as we bring this matter to a close.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
