Getting paid large sums of money to beat people at video games is basically the life-long dream of any little boy — or girl — growing up controller in hand.
Beginning Friday, that dream will become a reality once again for a select few FIFA 14 whizzes.
The FIFA 14 KICKTV Invitational, brought to you by KICKTV Gaming, field of 16 contestants is set and the games are just about ready to begin.

Last year, this guy won the grand prize and took home $10,000. Last year, the three rounds preceding the FIFA 13 KICKTV Invitational Final were played online from each contestant's remote location.
This year, the $10,000 grand prize and $50,000 worth of total cash and prizes return. This year, all 16 contestants are flying to New York City and squaring off against each one of their opponents face to face.
Win, you talk smack. Lose, you get smack talked.
Keep a close eye on the KICKTV Twitter and YouTube pages in the coming days for the unveiling of the 16 contestants and tournament dates.
