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.

BDB Way to much money for a game -.- just like CoD handing out $1,000,000 to "the best".


The money is kinda split up. I just searched it on Google and this is what they get.

1st Place Team - $400,000
2nd Place Team - $200,000
3rd Place Team - $120,000
4th Place Team - $100,000
5th Place Team - $70,000
6th Place Team - $50,000
7th Place Team - $35,000
8th Place Team - $25,000


Dang! I would be glad to go and just come in 8th. xD I will be sure to watch this.


$25,000 for playing in a championship, sign me up. Still at least they give money to the top 8 winners instead of only favoring the number one spot(Even though they get most of the money, at least the lower ones aren't forgotten.)


I guess you would have to devote a lot of time to the game for even entering these competitions though. With this sort of money people could easily make a living if they are actual professionals at the game. I wouldn't call it a 'stable job' though

That makes a lot more sense than handing out $1,000,000 to a single team
