Teams will receive bonuses for each match they win, encouraging a competitive spirit at even the lowest branches of the bracket. The most notable prize in the team rewards, however, is definitely the Creativity awards. Garena explains this as a way to get new and interesting play styles into the game’s meta. Tournament participants should gear up for the occasional ADC Alice making her way to honorable battle.
The individual prizes are a nice addition, especially with the recognition of tanks and supports with prizes. Single players also have the chance to be individually recognized for unique game play. Hopefully the cash prize will offset the bitterness their team gives them for their attack-speed based Aleister.
