Halo 3

Halo 3 is my favorite game for the Xbox 360. This weekend there was the finals for the MLG. Which stands for Major League Gaming. It was held in Las Vegas. The winner of this tournament received 100,000 dollars for first place. The top 8 teams in the U.S were there. One of the teammates on Str8 Rippin (the winner) left highschool during his junior year to compete in Halo. He left highschool about 8 years ago and he is 22 now playing for the same team. He has now received of 2 million dollars by playing halo and he is sponsored by Panasonic and Dr.Pepper. Dr.Pepper has signed a contract with MLG and it allows MLG to put Tom Taylor(the guy who left high school his junior year) on 150 million Dr.Pepper bottles with the MLG logo on it. Tom Taylor is not the only person who has received over 1 million dollars by competing in Halo. So far there has been around 4 or 5 but they have been competing professionally for at least 5-6 years. So one day my goal is to play at a level as high as theirs and I am fine not making any money because being a professional gamer is a bit impracticle. I currently have a halo team and there was a tournament in Minneapolis and I placed 3rd out of 140 teams and we made about 100 each for winning but i still have a long ways to go to compete in Las Vegas.
