Senior Vice-President for CGS Global Operations Scott Valencia said CGS is the first worldwide professional video gaming league, televised to more than 100,000,000 households on five continents.
“ It is the only pro gaming organisation where gamers are paid professional athletes. Gamers compete on teams and the teams compete as part of an organized professional league,” he said.
