Small language point, but potentially confusing one...
The Info Panel for today's new contest reads "Only the champion, who masters them all, receives the precious award."
In English, the use of the definite article - "the champion" - suggests that there is only one winner, giving the impression that the contest is a race for one single prize.
If, as I suspect, you mean 'only he/she who is a champion' or 'only a true champion', meaning just that you have to get through all 17 to get the prize, then clearer would be "Only a champion..." or "Only those champions..." - in either case omitting the (auf Englisch überflüssige) commas.
