so what? players will want to play well regardless. do you think every player is some money hungry pleb that only plays for it. No, if you made it this far into the pro scene you obviously play because you want your name cemented as on of the games best players, the money is a secondary goal.
also, the reason people call this event "mickey" is bcuz riots vct schedule and meta shifting sucks major dick. giving no team time to build up momentum or to build an understanding of the current meta. which is why you have teams like 100T in finals.
