CFS 2018 Global Finals prize pool leaked ?

So above that site which is hosted by LYTOGAME who is also the official publisher for CrossFire Indonesia (they had a relaunch too recently), I came across an interesting picture that seemingly spilled the beans about the CFS global finals prize pool for this year as outlined below ...

As the picture describes, we're basically downgrading back to CFS 2016 GF prize pool compared to CFS 2017 GF prize pool for this year with the small possible exception of 4th place which is probably just a mistake since CFS 2016 had a prize pool of 30K for 4th place rather than 50K from CFS 2017 as the wording on the site itself explicitly stated a total of 400K for the global finals ... (the picture in question adds up to a total of 420K)

Now things could change in the next 6 or so months leading up to CFS this year as dated on the page as details have not been officially disclosed by Smilegate themselves but assuming that the leak is true please share your thoughts below!

I reckon that the decrease in prize pool relative to last year is due to the fact that there will be no external eSports fund this year to prop up the rewards. This is pretty similar in vein to what both Smilegate and Tencent did for CFGI this year by lowering it's prize pool ...
