CPL confirming a 2012 event (56 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by xou @ 06:55 CDT, 18 May 2012 - iMsg

Just announced yesterday, the Cyberathlete Professional League is willing to organize a "major gaming event in in Shenyang, China this coming September 2012" and is seeking opinions from the community on Facebook about the games they will pick.

The last CPL event was held ~~in Dallas back in 2007 with CS:S and CS 1.6 tournaments~~ in

Shenyang in August 2011 and only featured a SC2 tournament. The company was then acquired by WoLong Ventures in 2010 (see the old news).

It's like the zombie apocalypse. The name just won't die.

I wonder who is behind this, since Valencia is now the Director of Business Development for S2 games and HoN.

Good luck on getting an FPS into the new CPL. God knows that esports needs to keep PC FPS in the limelight and keep them growing.

Also, the next logical step would be to let p0rt head the severity dev and marketing teams.

I'd pay to see that.

I heard there will be 1 million dollar cash prize for the winner, and they even said there is a slight chance that they might perhaps consider paying it out.
