One Halo 4 champion to win $200,000

4.5
Microsoft and Virgin Gaming have announced the Halo 4 Global Championship, which will see one Spartan claim a grand prize of $200,000. The tournament officially begins on July 5 at the Rooster Teeth Expo and opens to Xbox Live on July 15. Another live event will take place at Gamescom in Germany from August 21 to 25.

There will be five weeks of free-for-all competition on Xbox Live, which will require players to complete at least 20 games a week on specific playlists. 6 finalists from each live event and 20 from the Xbox Live competition will then compete on Microsoft's home turf in Seattle, with the winner pocketing a cool 200 grand. Another $100,000 will be distributed among the remaining 7 finalists, with 2nd place receiving the lion's share at $75,000. All participants will be eligible for randomly drawn prizes, including Xbox 360 games and Avatar items.

lel Now I wish I picked up MLG


Winning $200,000 for playing in a video game tournament would be epic. You would be set for 2-3 years.


Maybe even longer if you're smart with your money. That would probably last me a week though.

Woobie Pretty awesome, you can get 200k just for gaming.


It might turn out like that $1M Cod one though, were the prize really isn't that high...


Most people thought that the winner would get 1 million alone but it was split up. It's still a lot of money for playing a video game though.
