I am very happy about this move and were advocating for bitcoin prizes in commercial tournaments for a while now. This might just be the one thing that could launch Bitcoin into the mainstream gaming environment. A lot of players might not have even heard of Bitcoin and could investigate further, if it was offered as a prize.

A big kudos goes out to these guys for doing this. I hope this gets supported by other Bitcoin companies like Coinbase and BitPay and a lot more ^cough^

As long as I have a platform where I get paid to kill some noobs or get pawned by someone and have a chance of making a bit of cash while having fun i'm all for this type of gaming, casual and serious play with small change on the line is something I would like to see.
