The time has come! The much anticipated CPL Winter 2005 is finally upon us. Fourty nine teams are here in Dallas, Texas ready to compete for the big prize.

Be sure to stay locked on GotFrag for daily MFAVP videos, match recaps, summaries, previews, reviews and much much more!

The first round will unfortunately feature several BYE's as there are many teams who were unable to attend the tournament at the last minute. Nevertheless, teams will be battling fiercely all tournament long to win the CPL Winter 2005. Next year will be a huge year for eSports and Counter-Strike and GotFrag will be your #1 source for full coverage.

The Team Sportscast Network will also be live providing full shoutcasting coverage of both the Quake 4 and Counter-Strike tournaments with their dual streams. GotFrag's own Trevor "Midway" Schmidt, Mark "jESUIT" Cheben and Brian "Karpov" Johnson will also be regular guests on TsN to provide expert analysis and color commentary.
