It's really a question of team glory vs. individual glory and which you value more. I played a lot of chess when I was in high school, including winning the school tournament three years in a row. But when our chess team won our league, that to me felt better than any of the tournaments I won. My name is forever imprinted on the school tournament trophy, but I treasured our league victory the most. Obviously there's no money at stake there so that complicates the original question. I'm more for team glory above individual glory, though it's even better when being a big contributor to the team win. It's more satisfying obviously if you feel you were a part of that rather than a spectator on the sidelines.
