----------VIDEO TRANSCRIPT----------



The biggest Halo eSports championship ever begins this Friday, with teams from around the world competing for a $2.5 million prize pool. The winners will take home $1 million in prize money.



Over 900 registered teams, comprised of over 4,000 players have competed in the tournament so far. Tomorrow, the remaining 16 teams—hailing from the USA, Mexico, the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore—will go toe-to-toe for glory, fame, and fortune. Or something like that.



According to Microsoft, that $1 million prize is “the biggest individual prize in console eSports history” though it still pales in comparison to some PC eSports prizes, such as the 2015 1st place prize for The International, the Dota 2 championship, in which the Evil Geniuses took home $6.6 million. In fact, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place teams all took home over $1 million in 2015, with the 7th place team bringing in over $800,000.





Still, $1 million is no laughing matter, and it’s great to see the Halo world championship ramp up in 2016. Halo 5′s multiplayer is a blast, and watching real pros compete should be fun.

9 a.m. to 8 p.m. PT via Twitch.tv/Halo (Mainstage) and Twitch.tv/ESL_Halo (Second Stage)
