CPL Goes Global

Posted by Myers at 00:56 29/5/2004.

The CPL UK qualifiers may well be the most anticipated LAN event in the UK this year, but it trembles in the wake of The CPL's announcement. The company will be host a $1,000,000 world tour in 2005. The 10 event series is promised to have wide-reaching media appeal as the CPL develops global press relationships.

Since 1997 the Cyberathlete Professional League's goal has been to highlight the competitive computer gaming community, by producing world-class live interactive entertainment events, thus establishing the CPL as one of the most credible and most popular computer gaming leagues in the world.
But the CPL must look towards the future and recreate itself to allow the mainstream to enjoy our new sport as much as the gaming community does. So today, the CPL has announced the new 2005 "CPL World Tour" with one million dollars in cash prizes, the largest cash prize ever. The tour will include ten worldwide stops. Additionally, the CPL has forged new partnerships that will make the "CPL World Tour" a broad media event, including television, print and extensive online coverage.
The complete "CPL World Tour" announcement is scheduled for the final ceremony of the Cyberathlete Extreme World Championships, taking place Wednesday, July 28 to Sunday, August 1, 2004 at the brand new Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

Unfortunately as stated we must wait until the final ceremony of the CPL Summer World Championships for information regarding games and venues but with the recent work of GameFrontier could we see the first major CPL event in this country since CPL London in 2001?
