Over 500 professional gamers are expected to participate in the contest presented by Intel and sponsored by Xbox 360. “Video games are now a true competitive sport,” said Matt Ringel, WSVG founder, who decide it was high time someone create a pro circuit for video gamers. Registered participants will vie for $110,000 in cash and prizes from Thursday through Sunday of this week. There will be other activities available for gamers and non-gamers alike. Lanwar will present MillionManLan 5 offering some seats to amateur gamers in conjunction with the tournament. There will also be a Miss WSVG contest.
