Championship Gaming Series: US$ 5-million in salaries and bonuses |
Ó
A couple of weeks ago, we brought up the topic of the Championship Gaming Series (CGS). The event is best described as an international gaming league established to treat major gaming competitions like pro sports, and the players like pro athletes. And on the matter of going pro, we know what that means: big payoffs.In a recent press wire being released, it has been reported that the worldwide salaries and bonuses for this year's tournament season is expected to exceed US$ 5-million in expenditures.
"This is the moment the gaming world has been waiting for," commented CGS' recently appointed Commissioner Andy Reif. "We will be paying salaries and bonuses to our players in excess of $5 million dollars during the 2007 season. The time has come for a new era of professional gaming as sports entertainment. Your chance to be a part of history starts on April 28."
This year's CGS event schedule will feature online and live qualifiers, where players will battle to reach the Regional Combine, scheduled to take place at the Fox Studios in Los Angeles from June 8-10. Players from the Regional Combine will then be drafted into one of six city-based teams at the CGS Draft on June 12 at the Playboy Mansion (LA). CGS online qualifiers for the North American region begin on April 28, 2007 with the first live qualifier to be held at The Bridge Cinema de Lux in Los Angeles on May 11-12.
As for the match details, Each CGS team will carry ten players, allocated according to the league's official games. Five of the ten players will comprise a Counter-Strike: Source (PC) team who will compete in five-on-five matches. FIFA 07 (PC) will be played one-on-one. Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360) will have a mixed-double team of two players, one man and one woman, who will play against other teams in one-on-one matches. Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360) will be represented by two players on each team, with matches being played in a two-versus-two format.
Those are the details being disclosed at the moment - stay tuned in case more details are announced for CGS' status in UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
