Right guys - I've been thinking, i need some extra money etc, and i have a good friend (next door neighboor) who is in one of the UK's best warcraft teams and he gets sponsored, flown around the world and wins cash playing the game. (Won £6,000) a few months ago. Now that to me would be such an awesome experience.

Basically, how do i get into the tournament scene? I'm looking at CoD4 tournaments, now i don't want to seem big headed etc, but i can bet you any game i join online from start to finish, i will finish top by alot with an excellent kill/death ratio of ATLEAST 4 or 5:1. I would put money on it, however how do i go about finding a server that has like ... top level players to see how i fair against them whether it's any point going to such tournaments?

Also, say i did go to one, what happens?! Do i get to bring my mouse/keyboard/mat?! Or do i have to use their set up which might affect my performance?! Different environment might mean i suck greatly in comparison?

Thanks in advance!

Too late, COD5 ftw!

You'll be on better money labouring for a few days, watch youtube videos of tournaments and see how much they own. You'll be up against people like Fatality, good luck!

Not everyone is going to like CoD5 also, since CoD4 set such a high standard.

It's worth a shot anyways.

I recomend you join a clan first, beating random people isn't to much of a challenge. ee how you do against other clans then you will know whether or not to enter a tournament.

I think you need to pay a fee to enter a tournement in the first place

Playing pub is a world different to playing competitive, are you talking S&D?

Teamwork, comms and so on are a must. For a start you need to get into a clan and play in some leagues or ladders. and get yourslef noticed, maybe got to the next i series and play there?

Here are some high skill servers for you to have a crack at. (CoD4)

85.236.101.99:29360 (Multiplay.co.uk :: Dignitas Promod Beta Server (UK))

84.244.147.73:28960 (perfectus-gaming.promod 3 s&d only 24/7 1.7)

Personally im still not sure if the competitive side of cod5 will take off, need to wait and see how PAM5 or Promod take to it.
