CGS 2008, Championship Gaming Series 2008 North America Is On the Way Now!

I am watching the broadcast of Championship Gaming Series 2008 North America Draft, on Directv 101, in HD. The drafts are fun because you see the teams that played last year and new gamers coming in and the tension in being chosen by a team for both old and new players are evident. CGS is is known to be the only global professional gaming league.
But now on June 2nd the CGS Kicking off the 2008 season, the North American Championship Gaming Series teams are facing off at the Electronic Arts Los Angeles campus.
