San Antonio, TX – Pandora’s Mighty Solder’s (PMS Clan), the world’s largest group of competitive female videogame players, are proud to announce their own member, Vanessa “PMS Vanessa” Arteaga, was the world’s first official draft pick for the Championship Gaming Series (CGS). This is a big step towards the legitimacy of women competitors in a league that is making concentrated efforts to attract a diverse portfolio of players.
The Championship Gaming Series (CGS) is the first gaming league to make professional video gaming a true sport by organizing franchises with general managers and holding an official draft of players (which took place at the Playboy Mansion this week in Los Angeles, California). Over 150 contestants battled in tournaments and challenges while completing interviews for a $30k+ salaried position playing videogames like CounterStrike Source, Project Gothem Racing, Dead or Alive 4 and FIFA Soccer. The series will now air live when it begins its exclusive run on DirecTV’s original entertainment channel, The 101. The groundbreaking coverage will commence with the start of the CGS league on July 9 with two, 2-hour shows of new programming each week on The 101, leading up to the National Championships.
“I am honored and humbled to be the first pick in the draft,” states Vanessa, “I will do everything in my power to help prove I was the right choice for the league and my amazing new San Francisco manager, Kat Hunter. I would also like to say thank you to PMS Clan and our sponsors Verizon FiOS and Patriot Memory, who have been supporting me for a year in professional game play in efforts to get me ready for this life-changing moment.
PMS Clan and their brother group H2O Clan also had many other notable members make it into the draft including Marjorie “Kasumi Chan PMS” Bartell Tanya “PMS Coolsvilla” Underwood, Erika "Skittles" Galegor, Emanuel “Master” Rodriguiz, Adande “Swoozie” Thorn, Cardell "Dave Cheppelle" Thomas, Barry “Double B” Brady, Yazan "clowN" and Ammari, Moe "mOE" Assad.
