The biggest Halo 2 event yet kicks off this week as contestants from Xbox Live's 24 regions will vie for the honor of being named Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion.
The global contest is currently underway, with the GameStop-sponsored United States competition kicking off during this week with regional qualifying rounds. The worldwide finals will be played in June, culminating in the naming of the first ever Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion. Never before have all 24 Xbox Live regions - such as Japan, New Zealand, France and Norway - participated in one global tournament event. The Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion will be decided by a double elimination ladder. The U.S. qualifying round will be played in the 'Rumble Pit' match setting within Halo 2.
All 24 Xbox Live regions are in the process of crowing their own Halo 2 champion through regional and local competitions right now. Once crowned, those champions will have a guaranteed spot in the final round in June and battle each other over Xbox Live from their home countries for the title of Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion. Regional winners will receive a limited edition half-size Master Chief statue, a personalized Xbox Live Halo 2 Championship sweatshirt and country champion plaque, a Samsung Camcorder, and $500 in cash. The global champion will receive, in addition to the regional prize package, a 50' Samsung Flat Screen DLP HDTV, a Samsung DVD Player/Recorder, and personalized Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion trophy featuring a 24k gold Halo 2 game disc, and $1,500 in cash.
