Agreed. There are so many players now living off playing BW and streaming on Afreeca. But it's not a life in luxury, every dime counts and everyone who reached top 16 should receive prize money so they could continue and focus on BW. If not we are only going to get same elite group reaching the top.

Maybe the sponsors want a big price for 1st place 'cause that gives the impression of it being a bigger leauge?

top 16 would be like all the current pros getting money without effOrt. No hard practising needed to secure the money spot. A large gap between 1st and 2nd place prizes will provide the best Finals. That will encourage finalists to practise harder and study strategies more. But at the same time lesser players who knows they can't reach the finals might not give their best shot at the tournament since all the money will go for just few top players, so maybe balancing out the money spots could be good.

I think if the problem with the scene is that the top 16 are very comfortable, it might not matter how you divide the prize pool. A big part of that may be exactly that only these top players make anything off Afreeca, and so they're the only ones who can still do SC as a job. So they just need to beat the people who can't make money of BW and have to early their living elsewhere.

I think money is not nothing when it comes to motivating players, but it's a lot more important what the pride value of winning the competition is. Especially for players who became experienced in a much more competitive environment, it may be dull to them. With no dangerous up and comers, there's not much motivation to innovate and push themselves.
