I agree with you Hive account@rentmoney, that the Season Rewards should be more spread out thru the SM community. You could also create rewards for different categories of gameplay like highest percentage of battle winnings, win the most games with certain splinters or monsters, but also bonuses for who bought the most booster packs etc... they have a great tool on hand to initiate certain player behavior. I hope they get creative with that.
I like your comparison with Poker Stars Tournament Prize structure and I hope that we probably could see something similar with SM. Some kind of dynamic Prize Pool allocation, which depends on the amount of players in the tournaments and the type of tournament played, would be awesome.
Another thing I would like to see is the use of more meta data and player statistics to provide more transparency and depth to the gameplay.
Furthermore, I would like to see the main reward pool account in dollars at the main page of Steemmonsters. How big is the actual official Tournament Reward Pool of Steemmonsters?
Since it gets funded by Booster Packs this information should be displayed on the main page and be used as a marketing instrument.
