Are any of you going to the CPL this winter?

I go every year and it is quite a fun tournement. I used to play top-american counter-strike until about 6 months ago when my team died after our main sponsor (www.velocitymicro.com) dropped us .... It is quite a fun experience earning money and free equipment to play a computer game for 5-6 hours a day. Im definately out of that phase and have since quit cs, I just go for the enviroment and to catch up with internet buddies in real life..

If you are unaware of this computer gaming tournement in Dallas, Texas it is a bi-annual event in which teams from: most notibly(sp?) Sweden, USA and many teams from Canada, UK, Germany, France, Austrailia, New Zealand, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Japan, China, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Iceland, Russia. (Im sure im leaving out quite a few) Many teams from these countries make the trip to Dallas twice a year, usually paid for by their sponsors, which support them with Hardware, Salaries, atleast 3 teams live together at this current time--so ineffect even housing is paid for. Teams compete in (4) games during the Summer, CS, Halo, COD, PainKiller. This winter it will be (2) games, CS and Doom3. The winner of the cs tourney wins 50000$ and 2nd place wins 25000 and so on. The counter-strike tournement is a 100000$ Tournement and in the past has actually reached 200K. Next year the CPL is launching a 1 MILLION USD World Tour... More information can be found on the CPL at www.thecpl.com

PS. The sponsor booths and raffles are by far what makes the event the top event in the world. Intel and Nvidia and Hitatchi, their main sponsors, treat them very well and put alot of time and money into this tournement.

I am in no way affiliated with the CPL only trying to spread the word and maybe burn a bowl or two with some of you this winter. Sorry if the two links I posted are against the posting guidelines and DP feel free to remove them if you infact feel they are breaking a rule.
