 CNET’s Daniel Terdiman posted an article about the Championship Gaming Series today, and it wouldn’t have been such a big deal had Terdiman not called it the “New video-game league” in his title. The league, after all, has been going on for quite a while now, but maybe they don’t want you to know that. I wrote a review of the Los Angeles leg of the series last December, which you can find below. Having seen it firsthand, it’s obvious Terdiman doesn’t know much about the league, aside from his coverage of the draft at the Playboy mansion. The piece comes off, to one who knows, like a cheerleading PR release more than a news story. The reason? Read my article to find out.
