I feel like all you would have to do to oppose this is to have each of your investors contribute strategy tips or other opinions on playing decisions (e.g. choice of tourneys) and you can easily claim that this influenced your "skills" and thus the winning outcome. Something like a coach or advisor status, which actually does happen in reality a lot. Marvin Rettenmair is staking a bunch of guys over in the 2p2 Marketplace and his advice comes with the investment.
