In addition to the U.S. Open tennis tournament, there's another major tournament taking place in the city today and Saturday: the U.S. Finals of the World Cyber Games. At the Hammerstein Ballroom, videogamers will compete for $34,000 in prize money, as well as possible corporate sponsorships and a trip to the World Cyber Games Grand Final in Singapore in November.

The New York Post goes behind the scenes to look at the types of New York-area teens competing in the event -- like the 19-year-old New Jersey-based Verizon repairman who just happens to be one of the world's best players of "Counter-Strike." Or the Manhattan College sophomore who made $30,000 playing videogames last year. All told, there will be 16 teams from around the nation playing a wide range of different videogames in front of "thousands" of spectators.
