NVIDIA Corporation and the
Cyberathlete
Professional League (CPL), today announced that NVIDIA has signed on as a
presenting sponsor of the
$1,000,000 CPL World
Tour. The landmark tour, which boasts the largest cash purse ever offered by
a game tournament, will travel to ten international cities and is expected to
bring together the world's best competitive PC game players and computing
enthusiasts at every stop. The $1,000,000 CPL World Tour will commence on
February 10th in Istanbul, Turkey and will travel to major cities in Europe,
Asia, South America and North America throughout the year.
As a presenting sponsor, NVIDIA will host on-site exhibits at each of the ten tour stops, as well as equip the tournament PCs deployed at each tour stop with its award-winning GeForce 6800 model graphics processing units (GPUs). The selection of NVIDIA GPUs will deliver to players competing in the headline Painkiller competition the distinct technology advantage of blazing fast frame rates and crisp visuals necessary for extreme levels of play. NVIDIA is also contributing funds to the "unofficial" competitions based on other popular PC games, including Day of Defeat and Warcraft 3, at select tour stops.
