The CGS Pro-Am divisions will be launch in North America and Europe in August 2008 with players competing online on CGS game servers.

The top two finishers in both Counter-Strike 1.6 and Team Fortress2 will meet in a North American and European showdown at the North America Combine in 2009 for a total prize purse of "more than $50,000, plus additional prizes."

The CGS claims more games will be introduced in the future as well as more information surrounding the Pro-AM division, one thing is sure is that the registrations will commence in July 2008, so still some time yet.

It seems the CGS is trying to take steps to appease and attract the eSports masses, whether it will work or not is another matter entirely.
