Win a Halo 2 match, get a Rolex watch

This article is over 18 years old and may contain outdated information

This year the World Series of Video Games is handing out Rolex watches to the winners of the Quake 4, Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, Halo 2, Project Gotham Racing 3 and Counter Strike 1.6 tournaments. The first and second prize winners also nab a hefty sum of cash. First place gets $50,000 for Counter Strike and $20,000 for the other games while second prize gets $10,000 for Counter Strike and $5,000 for every other game. Plus you get bragging rights in the form of a trophy. Not bad for the professional gaming circuit, but the prizes are nowhere near as big as South Korea where Starcraft matches are broadcasted on television.
