Competitive Gaming

17
GamePig has an excellent article talking with 3 different industry figures about the future of competitive gaming. Angel Munoz of the CPL, Ryan Feltrin of GrayMatter (Wolf2K) and Gabe Newell of Valve (and PowerPlay). Also mentioned in the article is that the CPL will be hosting teamplay tournaments in the future. Considering Angel's comments in the interview one can assume they will be Quake3 teamplay.

By spectators, I'm insinuating that gaming as a competitive sport cannot survive without its spectators. So the key is to get them involved, much the way they do with current "competitive" sports.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
