“When CGS launched, it was our number one intention to make sure we recruited the best players in the United States, and looking at these tremendous results proves we have succeeded in that goal,” said CGS CEO and Commissioner Andy Reif. “We are extremely proud of our teams and all they have accomplished at the LANfest2K7.”

“We were thrilled to have the CGS teams compete at the LANfest 2K7 this year,” said Bernard Luthi, Vice President of Product Marketing and Merchandising at Newegg.com “The teams’ exemplary showmanship raised the bar and helped to make this a world class event.”

LANfest2K7 marked the first reunion of the CGS’ United States squads since the United States (Region 1) season ended in July. The Carolina Core and the Chicago Chimera will represent the United States at the CGS 2007 World Championship in December when the league’s top twelve teams from around the globe vie for the $1 million dollars in prize money and the ultimate title of World Champion.
