The CPL has now released its new website with a statement of intent for the future.

The statement on the website starts with:

One decade ago, the Cyberathlete Professional League decided to feature Counter-Strike as its primary tournament game, and esports was born. Perhaps that's a bit hyperbolic, but there's no denying that the CPL was the vehicle that drove the growth of the esports into an international phenomenon in the western world. CPL was the dream that every player strived for, the one tournament that even the teams from Sweden and Germany and England just had to win. It was a symbol that stood for esports, an example that showed the potential that esports had to captivate fans of gaming everywhere.

It eventually became clear that that dream was not the reality, and the CPL suffered and collapsed after years of stagnation and corruption. It will take time to rebuild from those ashes, and regain the trust of a community dispossessed or perhaps ignorant of the brand, but it's something we strongly believe in doing.

After the loss of their 1.6 squad to Online-Kingdom, Lions began to look at picking up a new roster to represent their brand.

It's now confirmed that the organisation will recruit the remaining members of H2k.Gaming who were only recently released from their contracts.

Lions is:

Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson
Frej "kHRYSTAL" Sjöström
Niklas "niko" Johansson
Björn "threat" Pers
Richard "Xizt" Landström

Good luck to them.

After the tragic death of Antonio "cyx" Daniloski in a road accident last month, mousesports had not yet confirmed a new fifth for the upcoming EPS season.

Today they've announced that they will not be adding a new player, but will use their longtime backup member Christian "Blizzard" Chmiel as the teams fifth in this season of EPS.

mousesports are:

Christian "Blizzard" Chmiel
Fatih "gob b" Dayik
Navid "Kapio" Javadi
Roman "roman" Ausserdorfer
Manuel "Tixo" Makohl

Good luck to them.
