With the way things are going in the esports world, we'll be seeing coverage of the CPL alongside the Super Bowl soon enough. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but Angel Munoz of the Cyberathelete Professional League has the ambition to bring esports to the mainstream, further evidenced by a interview done by esports coverage site eSLive.
Munoz: We are very focused on the organization and promotional planning of the CPL World Tour. We think the time has come to elevate our sport to much higher level by offering $1,000,000 in cash prizes and bringing wide global media attention to the sport. We want to move away from sporadic event focused coverage to continuous year-round coverage, having a one time mention on CNN (we've had several) is not as interesting to us than establishing long term media relationships.Also discussed, though briefly, is the prospect of CS: Source in future CPL competitions.
