Mandalay Media Group has put its Tournament.com domain up for sale after making a decision not to re-enter the skill gaming arena.
The site hosted pay-to-enter First Person Shooter (FPS) tournaments under license from Valve Software, operating their titles Counter-Strike and Half-Life in 2007 but was shut down due to financial pressures.
Richard Skelhorn and Alex Holt, Co-Founders of Tournament.com, said, “Tournament.com was an exciting opportunity and something that we really wanted to become a success. We operated with international player liquidity and were actively running pay-to-enter games every few seconds. We still believe there is a market for pay-to-enter video game tournaments, however due to the investment required in infrastructure and content licensing it is something that we have decided not to re-approach.”
