The big powerhouse countries aren't competing for different medals from the smaller nations who only sent 4 athletes this year. No one is getting a head start or modifications because they come from a smaller country. They're not getting a gold medal for being 1st place out of countries with under 15 million people. It's open competition, may the best players/teams win.

I'm referring to how awards (covers,HP,iso) directly impact your later performance, making the comparison to sports events absurd You aren't winning "MPQ little league" because you're a better baseball player. You're winning because MPQ pays you in steroids for the games you win

I don't really see it as "performance enhancing covers" really, especially if having roster strength makes it actually harder to place. It's more like physical training. A college player isn't ready to perform at the MLB level, that's why they have minor leagues in the first place. If your "Roster" is an athlete, then events are like training sessions and rewards are like results from those training sessions. You learn to play well you place well you can place well in the future.
