The winners get the 'honour' of serving Harvest, the big bad. It's made clear that this isn't the first time it's happened either, so the new DCU comes complete with a tradition of grossly abusing its youth. Fun times!

(You'll notice my own sarcasm there....)
Yeah, that was my take on it as well. If it really is a fight to the last person standing, lather/rinse/repeat, Harvest has been at this for a while. Harvest & Co. just feels cliched to me, though: if bug-boy had a mustache he'd have been twirling it from day one. It feels like something out of the 90's X-Men when the Neo were popping up all over the place with a name, a power, very little background and even less personality.
