"You ready to put your money where your mouse is? UK-based Tournament.com plans to launch a service this month that will let gamers pony up an entrance fee, play a first person shooter match, and then divide the money among the winners. After the house gets its cut, of course."

This is an interesting concept and I'm curious to see if they can actually pull this off and do it legally. Would any of you goodjers actually sign up for such a service?

Lag used to be a lot worse back in the day. Hell, it took Jesus 3 days to respawn.

No. My skills, or lack thereof (depending on the game) are entirely too inconsistent for me to ever think I'd do any better than break even.

My uncle actually worked for a company like this in the midwest as a network admin, but I think its entire lifespan was about ten months.

I game for a living doing testing as unsteady as it is, it's definitely more reliable than going up against a bunch of exploit-monkeys for a check.
