50K first prize, holy crap! Could someone explain how the National Championships differs from the regular season? I'm assuming its a tournament seeded through points accumulated during the regular season?

Well prizes are anyway sick. I'm sure that some of the Koreans might even show up this season.

Halo has like what, 4 players in a team? You have to consider that, so SC2 ist more per head. (Edit: at least for the NC)

National Championship is sick, 50K, damn...

$5,000 for regular events.
$50,000 for MLG Dallas.
Knowing MLG I predict that jungle basin will still be in the map pool for next season.

Interesting.

Halo also has a much more significant amount of players per event which pay a pretty large registration fee per team which helps support its prize pool.

Wow, wish it was higher but it's okay, I understand why it can't be. Halo also still as a much larger fan base for MLG, I mean people on Halo and Call of Duty use "MLG" instead of "Gosu" to describe skill, the prize pool for Halo should really be bigger than SC2 imo (at least for MLG)

Don't forget, MLG tournaments are three days long. GSL tournaments are a month long investment.

50k in three days is a hell of a lot of money. This Season is going to be incredible I can't wait.

halo has been in MLG for how long? a ridiculous amount of years. SC2 for 5 months(if that even). Also what others have said about team size. Considering the amount of time I'd say it's well on it's way, maybe even going very fast.
