Halo 2 Team Signs $1m Pro Contract

Major League Gaming has signed the top four-man Halo 2 team for $1 million, and a leading individual pro gamer for a separate $250,000.

Team Final Boss snagged the lucrative $1 million contract, while Tom "Tsquared" Taylor signed up for $250,000. The signings are the largest ever by MLG.

David "Walshy" Walsh, team captain of the four-man Halo 2 team Final Boss said, "It's a huge honor to be part of the first gaming team to get this kind of money. This kind of contract just shows how serious MLG is about building the League. Three years ago I never could have imagined that I'd be making more money than my parents playing video games!"
