From the post:
"To that end, we will be making some changes to balance out the rewards and to make the table above possible.
- Increased the crystal rewards for a loss in Carbonite/Bronzium/Chromium
- Increased the crystal rewards for winning in Carbonite
- Increased the per-Tournament (3-round event) payout of Championship Tokens and Mod slicing materials
- Decreased Championship Tokens in the end-of-season prizes - This means the impact to Championship Tokens rewards comes out to effectively neutral with the above changes, but with more % paid out throughout the season and less of a 1 big lump sum at the end"
