Konami Launches Metal Gear Solid Tourney

Do you think you have mad Metal Gear Solid skills? Now's your time. Konami and iGames have teamed up to host an online tournament for the stealth action game.

The Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence tourney runs from July 29 and September 17 and will take place both online and in iGames centers.

Gamers will be able to register for the official Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence tournament on the iGames web site, www.igames.org or at iGames centers nationwide. The tournament will consist of a series of solo and team games in which contestants can participate from home or from iGames centers nationwide. Tournament matches will be held regularly each weekend, and players can participate in as many matches as they wish. Each player will be rated using the ELO ranking system that judges their overall skill level rather than just wins and losses. The players and teams with the top rating each day will win Metal Gear memorabilia such as shirts, games and accessories, while the players and teams with the best rating over the course of the entire competition will earn entry into a final elimination stage. The team and solo game winners from this stage will become Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence champions and will win prizes such as HDTVs, special in-game awards and rare Metal Gear memorabilia.
