Halo 2 Worldwide Champion
The Xbox Live sponsored Halo 2 Worldwide Championship kicked off several months ago as players in 24 different countries began competing to crown regional winners. A series of mini events continued throughout each country until eventually one single person was chosen to represent in the world finals.
Today the finals took place over Xbox Live in a series of matches that would separate the best of the best and set the stage for the grand finale. While nobody at Bungie was in attendance for the finals, our contacts on the Live team did pass along some information regarding todays games.
The final pool of players came down to Japan, Germany, Netherlands, USA, France and Australia. The player from Japan won his heat giving the American, Aussie and French players their second loss and eliminating them from the competition. In the following round, Germany suffered their second defeat setting the stage for a Japan vs. Netherlands world finale.
Apparently it was a close match but King Tuur of the Netherlands pulled ahead and never looked back. Congratulations to Mr. Tuur who becomes the first ever Worldwide Halo 2 Champion and also the proud recipient of a 50" Samsung DLP HDTV, a Samsung DVD Player/Recorder, a personalized world champion trophy (featuring a 24k gold Halo 2 game disc) AND $1,500 in cash. Good stuff.
More information about the Xbox Live sponsored tournament and profiles of the finalists from each region can be found at Xbox.com.

Good Job Tuur, and you Americans, you should be ashamed of yourself, always thinking you are the best, while you are not, well not the best at everything. Its good to see that Tuur is 1 of the best xbox gamers in the world.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NewLeonHeart Good job tuur. im amercian but do we really need all the dissing from holland? im in MLG and i could probably DESTROY l terry15 l. well anyways gg tuur [/quote] WHY????? I'll tell you. Because when the game ends we allways say: Good game. But when the game ends all the american people have to say is... -blam!- NEWBIES .. GO SCREW YOURSELF. NOOOOOBS! blablabla. Doesn't matter if the american people win or lose, they allways call the enemies noobs. btw. the funny part is... The game was hosted from america! :). [Edited on 6/11/2005]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SK 3Shot Ok.... from what I gather.... they had 1v1s to determine the winner.... 1v1s in Halo 2 are so pointless.... even more so MM style. Get the power weapons, and camp. And unless your host.... you dont have many ways to kill that... because host will melee through enemies, grenades cant stick well, and just overall bullet lag. And since this was on XBL... wouldnt the Netherlands guy lag everyone else?[/quote] i know what you meen 3shot but i think that the japanse had more benefits playin on XBL than every single other player, that's how he came so far.(Tuur trashed him with 14-2) but i'm still giving Tuur props because i know him (got him on my list) and he's a very good player. and not only @ H2 but i think the most know that. i have to admid that the oppisistion wasn't very good (couple where worth inviting) i think that this event wasn't very good planned because i didn't know anythin about it until now :S Ey tuurtje lekker gedaan man, ga maar lekker van geniete, jammer dat k er niks van wist want ik kan wel een goede tv gebruiken:P hopelijk gat het ook zo op de WCG:P Jozo jij komt uit Oss toch? ik uit heesch pas ff je gamertag;) en zet hier ff wa info over je

Who represented the Americans? And this probably isnt that much a true show of skill if no one seemed to know about it... because no one I know knew about it. What were the rules anyway? Like MM? Cause those are good on XBL, but bogus for tourny play.
-
It's just too sad that there still are those who think that King Tuur didn't deserve to win this championship. I mean, he is the world champion in PGR 2, Moto GP, Fifa (?) and Halo 2. Did he win all that because he was just lucky? MCGavin: stop making a fool of yourself. King Tuur: Gefeliciteerd man!
-
Congratulations brother, proved once again on the 5th or 6th xbox game that you're the best player out there.

WHO IS VMAX

GO YEA WHATEVER

I just used you message to make a reply, dont know how to reply on my own :P Lekker gedaan Tuur ;) En veel plezier met je TV en laat Alex niet teveel DVDs erop kijken :D Ik zie je hopelijk nog wel op XBLive. Groetjes Poxy

Nice work King Tuur. The Netherlands definitely has skills. I've played many that can shoot straight to say the least. MLG cult members couldn't play in this tourney cause you have to be tolerant of lag and not being able to constantly whine about not getting host.
-
Go King Tuur! NL rules! :P
-
I think King Tuur did great, no matter what people say! I respect everyone that didn't make it champion, for only one can win! They are all leages better than me, so that's admirable! And for a more personal message: Hartstikke gefeliciteerd King Tuur (als je al de moeite neemt dit te lezen)! Ook namens mijn broer (NemoMeMeliorEst)! Veel plezier met die supervette prijzen (en geld)! Misschien ooit tot ziens op XB Live! Mzzl! There :) Have fun online everybody and maybe you will fight (and beat) me one day (and that chance, of beating me that is, isn't that small :P)
-
EUROPE OWNS!!!!!! US SUX!!!!!!! lol Why all this lame excuses, get over it........ (i could beat king turr with my eyes closed, kid is NOT the world champ.) McGavin, why would you even bother? Ain't you a Mlg-Pro? Start acting like one!! You are making me loose respect for you guys......... :( [Edited on 6/11/2005]

he is one lucky little @&#*$%#
