I think (1 pearl x number of turns) + the 1000gp for the winner (or a formula making gold scaling too, like 500gp + 50xtrn + 10 pearls + 1/2xtrn) would be a good amount. Giving all Man's gems (2,5 pearls per turn = an hundred by turn 40) would be too much. I'd also like a reward, say half, for the finalist *if he defeated more opponents than the winner* (sometimes the winner is just the lucky guy killing the champion who defeated all others).

Now I'd like to add a condition : reward is halved if the winner don't get the trident, or is a shapeshipting unit able to unequip it. The main disavantadge of the DM is to have to risk your champion in the next match, so people avoiding it should be less rewarded.
