If I didn’t have the press release to prove it, I may not have believed this but it’s true. I suggest you get your skillz up ladies and gents.
The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) is hosting a million dollar Halo 3 competition at the Extreme Winter Championships taking place Tuesday, December 18 to Saturday, December 22, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas, Texas. Yes, it’s going down in my town so you know I’ll be there.
The $1,000,000 Halo 3 competition is being organized by X Factor Tournament, a new e-sports management organization in exclusive partnership with the CPL. The winner of the $1,000,000 competition will receive a $250,000 instant cash payout at the CPL Winter event. Other prizes will be paid to at least 64 places. The competition is open to gamers worldwide and does not require pre-qualification or previous tournament experience.
Angel Munoz, Founder and President of the CPL said, “We are thrilled to host this enormous $1,000,000 Halo 3 open competition and to announce it on the tenth year anniversary of our first event. X Factor Tournament has deposited $1,000,000 to a designated bank account for prize payment, making it the largest videogame competition ever.”
The online registration is now open. There’s more tournament, prize and registration information available at www.halo3competition.com.

It looks like everyone is so excited about it that they are killing the websites.
Too bad for the rest of us who live farther away and cannot take time off for this for fear of loosing not only the game but their appartment.
