Microsoft has announced that the Halo World Championship prize pool has hit another milestone, thanks to you, the community!

Through the continued support of crowdfunding via in-game REQ Pack purchases, the Halo World Championship prize pool has grown by a substantial $1,500,000.  

As a result, the Halo World Championship prize pool currently sits at an impressive $2,500,000, which, as Xbox Wire states, is “the biggest individual prize pool in console eSports history”.
