For a professional player, Prestige = Prize Money. "Prestige" doesn't pay bills.

You are so wrong, by your logic we can say WESG is 5 times more "prestige" than GSL code S.

For a lot of sc2 players their jobs were playing in proleague, that's literally what they were employed to do and what paid their bills.

And you don't know what motivation pro players have. Many of them probably value winning starleagues or proleague above prize money. Was MC was the GOAT for like 7 years because he was top earner? Was Maru earning $100K at WeSG 2017 beating only tier 3 players worth more than any of the starleagues he won?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

If you give soO the choice between winning GSL and getting 2nd at Blizzcon I'm pretty sure he chooses the former despite the latter gaining him far more money.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

not sure. maybe back when soO had never won a major championship, but I'm pretty sure now he would take the money. 100k is pretty nice

Maybe it was just a meme, but I vaguely remember soO saying something about wiping away his tears with money after Blizzcon 2017.

money =/= success.
You might want to think more about that, cuz you will lead a very disappointing life if money is all that success means to you

Well I imagine for most player sc2 it is true that prize money prime over prestige since most player probably have an hard time paying their bill/ staying a pro, someone like Keen made about 10K a year in Starcraft (more when he had a salary of course but can't be that much), even tho pro-gamer life isn't especially expensive a big payday would change his life, comming out of the military with no degree and having work at about the korean minimum wage isn't that great.

Still for most successfull player I of course agree that prestige wins are more important than another 50K

Loved the Maru vs MVP comparison, got really in-depth too and covered angles that are really interesting like online cups and charisma. For me Marus achievements overall overshadow everyone else but it is really close

This is a hard one both to vote for and predict. I ended up voting for INnoVatioN, but I'd guess that Maru will win since he has the recency advantage.
