Yah 1million but with 10stops i think it means 100 000$ per event

[{Sose}]

Yes maxime, then that'll be divided up by game, then by division, then by rank.



But it's all good! :)

Any news on who's gonna be doing the coverage? It'd be cool if G4TV did it....like a segment on some good kills, who's been playing/winning, etc.

most definitely

as a fairly uneducated guess, id say 25-50k to the winners each event? if a dominating team such as noa took a good number of them, thats a nice pick up.
