Nintendo was criticized for awarding one winner only a
GameCube controller? Source: [13][14][15] at the end of the 2nd paragraph
Reviewer: If you feel "for only awarding one winner a GameCube controller?" is better than "for awarding one winner only a GameCube controller?", feel free to just change ALT1. I couldn't decide where to place the "only".

While that prize is an absolute joke, I don't think it is entirely neutral or necessary to describe the criticism as "significant" in the article. The source also doesn't directly attribute the criticism to Nintendo. On the hook, I do not see how the article supports "many" tournaments lacking cash prizes, as it mentions only one. That gambecube controller fact is hooky indeed though, so I think if it was reformulated, perhaps to be shorter and more punchy, it would be a great hook.

Well good thing the additional sources clarified what kind of controller it was. with a preference for 1b, although perhaps Switch should be linked.
