Team Creating Pro League for Video Poker Gamers
Segundo-based DirecTV Group said Monday that it will lead a team of companies in starting a new professional sports league -- for video gaming. The Championship Gaming Series, or CGS, will begin next year with poker gaming tournaments broadcast on the DirecTV satellite service and online with IGN Entertainment, one of the partners in the venture.
DirecTV Entertainment will oversee the CGS tournaments' development, which will showcase gaming competitions year round.The league will differ from existing video-gaming tournaments by offering a series of ongoing competitions rather than "scattered" gaming events, DirecTV said.
