Commercial show matches.

I used to do something similar before my tournaments. I would arrange matches with two players – they would stream, and donation links would be displayed at the bottom of the stream. All the money donated would go into the tournament's prize pool. And now, some statistics: for the first such show match, about 500-800 rubles were donated. The second show match had a smaller amount. This was despite the fact that around 300-400 people were watching the stream. You can't force everyone to pay for the stream, but it's quite possible to collect 500 rubles voluntarily for a game between giants.
Paying money to watch a restream of the same game is excessive (in terms of quality). Maybe there are some people in the chat who would do that, but fans of Heroes are not just in that chat.
About a year ago, I considered doing a series of streams based on the "king of the hill" principle – you play until you are defeated. Each game would have its own prize pool from viewers. This idea could work. I did something similar with Worms Armageddon and it was quite successful. But Heroes battles don't last for 2 hours. Therefore, viewers probably won't be able to watch the entire stream, which raises the question of why they would pay for it
