Sorry CNET, The Championship Gaming Series is Old NewsAuthored by Scott Goldberg on June 13, 2007 - 10:36am.
 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.
Is Major League Gaming For Real? $1 Million in Prize Money Says YesAuthored by Scott Goldberg on April 3, 2007 - 8:41am.

The 2007 Boost Mobile MLG Pro Circuit begins next weekend in Charlotte with $1 million in prize money at stake.

In an exclusive interview with DMW in February, CEO Mike Sepso said, “There are already 12 players who have $1 million contracts.”

 Professional video gaming is exploding, and Major League Gaming (MLG) is positioned to take full advantage. The company just announced partnerships with Endeavor, a Hollywood talent agency, and Tony Krantz’s Flame Ventures to develop its television properties and expand the viewing experience beyond the tournaments. Professional video gamers will soon become household names in the $30 billion industry, and MLG expects to be the league that takes them there. The race to be the undisputed elite professional video gaming league is alive and healthy, and MLG believes it’s winning. I interviewed Mike Sepso, CEO of MLG, to discuss the company’s foundation, its position in the market, and its future.
