I think a way of entertaining the audience while spreading it efficiently as opposed to very thin such as suggested would be the best decision. Maybe some sort of awards such as best player caster, or as suggested maybe a 4v4 mini tourney.

There are several good good options, but spreading it across the competitors would be a pretty cool thing to do.

Do a little of EVERYTHING, obviously. Because if it's for the esports community, it would be best to do a little of everything, and give more money to the things people want more than the others.

The guys who fail to qualify for Top 8 (out of the top 16 for day 3)...Run a Single elim tourney for them and distribute 5k amongst all of them equally

. You can run that tourney as a pre cursor to the actual finals and still have enough time to fit all of it in

...would be fun for you and the viewers

I'm all for team games :D

4v4 tournament sounds awesome. Maybe 2v2 if you want to keep it somewhat serious.
Otherwise share it between everybody

I don't care how the money is distributed as long as MC and MKP cast more games.

I'd say have them play 6 FFA games (6 times groups of 5-6 players) and then the FFA final with the 6 winners. Winner takes 1k$!

I like the 4v4 idea - also chills idea of having the players vote on awards.

In any case, I would prefer it to not simply be added to the prizepool. Do something with it to add entertainment and more things to the tournament.

Voted to spread it across all the competitors but I also think it would be a good idea to try to compensate folks who produce extra content for the event. Interviews, photos, writeups, things like that. HSC is such a unique event in some ways, and it'd be neat to take advantage of the accessibility of the setting to get more of the stories out.

why not take all of the players that got eliminated in the 1st and 2nd group stages and have a single elim side tourny for the 5k?

Probably spread it across all of the competitors, but I do think that a 4v4 tournament would be AWESOME (as unlikely as it is to happen)
