PGL has announced a partnership with Twitch that could see the prize purse of the CS:GO Championship Kick-off Season get increased thanks to community support.

From March 17 to April 26, PGL will be hosting the very first edition of its CS:GO Championship (CCS), a brand new European league with offline finals at DreamHack Bucharest.

Initially, it was announced that the league would have a $110,000 prize fund, but PGL has now revealed that it has agreed an experimental partnership with Twitch that will allow viewers to support the prize pool of the tournament.

You can support the CCS league by subscribing to PGL's Twitch channel

To do that, viewers simply need to subscribe to PGL's Twitch channel, with 50% of each $4,99 subscription ticket going directly into the CCS prize fund.

It will not be all about supporting the event, however, as subscribers will have the following benefits:

    Chat during subscriber-only mode;    Not affected by slow-mode in chat;    Subscriber badge;    Permanent custom chat emotes; (current active emotes)    Subscriber-only weapon skin giveaways each broadcast day; (today's giveway)    The possibility to send questions for the analyst desk and, if chosen, have them answered live, on stream;    50% discount for 3-day access tickets to DreamHack Bucharest 2015 purchased on [esportshop.eu](esportshop.eu);
