Wouldn't you like to be Matt "Zyos" Leto? We bet lots of people would. In the past year, he's won $55,0000 in Halo tournaments at the tender age of twenty. There's an interview and video intervew at GameSpot (video for Complete members only). Here's hoping the professional gaming industry follows suit with professional athletes, so that one day even mediocre players can make millions; as it is we're probably not all in the same leagues as guys like Zyos and Darkman. Thanks Louis Wu for the heads-up.

I think it should be noted that Matt just won WCG and $20,000. Only a few gamers in the world have won back-to-back WCG events. He has sucessfully defended his title as WORLD champion Halo player. Last year, I thought he was crazy for spending several thousand dollars on a plane ticket to Korea. He came back with $20,000. This weekend he won the Gold medal in the HALO tournament at the World Cyber Games. I hope he gets a major sponsorship. He, unlike other top and famous HALO players, deserves it.

Noted. Is that in addition to the $55k?
In reply to: I think it should be noted thIs the WCG $20k included in that figure, or is that additional?
