There are two very big game tournaments going on right now, the CPL World Championship Counter-Strike event, with $150,000 in cash prizes going out, as well as the WCG event with both Quake3 and Counter-Strike events (and a couple other games) sporting $300,000 in prizes. Matt over at ShackES is doing an excellent job with the coverage and there are demos available from both events available via the Shack/Speakeasy FTP of Death. Also, CPL sent word that in addition to upcoming ESPN coverage, they were just featured on CNN and a couple newspapers: - CNN video (courtesy of Mindverge.tv)
- Dallas Morning News story
- Ft Worth Star Telegram story
Yeah, ShackES is hurting for the new layout :) As the layout here is just about finalized we'll be porting the design over there around the time we plug in the new servers.
