Championship Gaming Series has signed an exclusive contract with DIRECTV and will be featured on G4. CGS is in its second season and has shown on cable in many parts of the world, but this will be its first cable engagement in North America.
“G4’s young male viewers are passionate about video games,” said Neal Tiles, President, G4. “By bringing Championship Gaming Series to the network, we are giving our audience the rare opportunity to watch some of the world’s best gamers in action. The competition is certain to appeal to our viewers.”
Gamers will be able to follow the series as the CGS teams from around the world compete for $1,000,000 in prize money. These digital gladiators come from North America, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia, Middle East and Latin America. Each ten player team will test its mettle on the four official CGS games: Dead or Alive 4, Forza Motorsport 2, CounterStrike: Source and Fifa ‘08.
