Esports competitions are still pretty hot, and Ultimate Gamer plans to give away $1 million in prizes for its tournament that starts on March 1. The Ultimate Gamer Worldwide Open will be a free global competition to find “Best Gamer on Earth.”

The company already has two million registered users, and its plan is to build the world’s largest community of gamers while providing a fun environment to compete with friends and family, see where one ranks in the community, and try out a game outside of one’s regular interests.
