CPL cuts HALO3 prizemoney by 90%
This winter, The CPL (Cyber Professional League) was scheduled to host a huge 1.000.000$ Free for all Tournament in Halo 3, at their Extreme Winter Championships in December. Now they have announced though, that the prizemoney will be slashed to 100.000$.
The drastic change have been done by the CPL because they have had troubles with both G7 and with Microsoft, they state on their forum
A snippet from the statement.
| After ten years of business, the CPL was suddenly accused in the online media of not paying their cash prizes, when in fact the reports clearly show that only about 1% of their payments were delayed when there was some error in the cross-check process or participants did not send the proper documentation. |

It's also mentioned that the Halo 3 tournament have been victim to sabotage and a very negative media image portrayed by other organizations.
- A group of posters from the same general IP addresses have been continuously spamming the CPL news comments and our emails with fabricated negative posts about the Halo 3 competition.
- Tournament organizations have prevented their signed players from participating in the competition and in some cases have contacted registered players and asked them to cancel.
- A tournament organization contacted Microsoft last week to complain about our Halo 3 competition. This initiated an inquiry from Microsoft's legal counsel.
They claim that these things are just some of the causes why the attendance is only at around 200 instead of the 1000 they had hoped for.
Although there's still some good news for the Halo 3 fans, as The CPL have planned another 1.000.000 Tournament for this summer where everyone who entered the winter tournament will get free entry and special seeding.

Maybe they should start thinking about announcing prizemoneys they can actually pay in the beginning, instead of giving the whole community a laugh every time. And ofc it's due to G7 and their press-release about not attending a event which is doubtable to pay your prizemoney afterwards and that treats the attending pla
