So alot of stuff went down today in the professional gaming world. I'll go into it a little but I'll let you links do the talking. Basically, MLG signed a deal w/ USA to air 7 1 hr. episodes w/ highlights of this upcoming season. That's HUGE!!! They also picked up Boost Mobile and Scion as sponsors. Also, you should see the press coverage they got today. Here we go:

I'm going to have to catch up w/ him to see what went down. Apparently a buddy of his was telling me his new job is real sweet, some IT company. I'm sure whatever he's doing is damn sweet if he left the MLG gig for it. Who would have known gaming would blow up like this?
If you look @ only one of the links, go to the 3rd one to see the crazy amount of press they got.
