CPL To Use Surnames

Posted by Blitz at 00:19 14/8/2001.

The CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) has been updated with some news to say that they'll now be asking players to use their surnames in any official matches. It's apparently an effort to further professionalise our favourite past time:

"In an effort to further professionalize the sport of competitive gaming, the CPL will no longer allow players to represent themselves with a nickname in league tournaments. The CPL now requires that all players use their surnames in official CPL matches.

For example, John Smith, formerly known as Wrecker from team ZBG, will now be ZBG|Smith. Variations to this format will be allowed for duplicate surnames within a team. All team tags will be uniform and subject to approval by the league."

Seems like an ok idea if you ask me, but I suspect a few people won't be happy with the idea....we'll see.
