	Wr!ght 20:51 19/8/2002	CPL really needs to up its prizes. How can it aim to be the NFL of gaming when its first place prize for a team of 5 is barely enough to live on? Even if you won summer and winter cpl = $50,0000 = $10,000 each = £7000 (? ish?) And thats per peryear if you won both world championships. Its nice amount of money but pro gaming cant be a reality with out more comps/more money. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
