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!

Never heard of it, is it some sort of game?

See if V_R will let you join his clan and then play them.

I used to think like that to..Thought I couldn't be beatent..That is until I played my first online game of COD and got absolutely nailes, left right and center..And whats worse it was by a 12 year old..

I actually can't be beaten though

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!

Yeah and I have won the lottery for the last 5 weeks..Nobody is unbeatable..

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.
