The other issue I wondered abut is whether legally you can play as a corporation, or are you really playing for a corporation? When I say "legally", I guess I'm wondering about specific terms and conditions for playing in certain tournaments.

I am curious about this myself. My guess is that you would be playing as some agent (employee) of the corporation and therefore for the corporation. I am still waiting for info on whether tournaments would allow this corporation arrangement. This was talked about in another thread but no one made a post on whether this is possible. Hopefully, this will change in this thread.

So many tournament players have backers, what's the difference in the corporation being your backer? Corporation pays player $X to play the tournament and player returns Y% of winnings to Corporation. Case closed.

(By the way, that is a hypothesis, not a statement)
