Video games are intersecting with people's lives. This evidence couldn't be any clearer then the online gaming industry - more specifically online video game competitions.  A progressive online company that has experienced this shock-wave is the CAL or Cyberathlete Amateur League company. The league attracts both seasoned veterans of online competitive gaming, as well as casual gamers. CAL has been modeled after several highly popular sports organizations such as the NFL, NHL and NBA. CAL also provides seeding and ranking information to its parent organization, the CPL or Cyberathlete Professional League.  Beginning with a single Counter-Strike division, the Cyberathlete Amateur League has since grown to include over 25 different games, 60 divisions and 600,000+ registered members in the US, Canada, Europe and South America.  With their powerful ability to capture both hardcore gamers and amateur newbies, you can be confident that you or someone you know will be the next member on a broadband connection  or  television episode near you.

A representative from the CPL informed Zpryme that, "The CPL as well as it's counterpart, the successful CAL, will go through a dramatic transformation this year.  First we will integrate into the site, gaming content generated from its sister site the Adrenaline Vault (click).   Then we will enhance the interactive technology of the website to include, personalized pages, online messaging, and wall postings.  Our goal is to grow the site to several million members in 2008."
