Widely regarded as the godfather of competitive gaming, Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) founder Angel Munoz speaks about his career as an eSports pioneer in an exclusive interview with Tek-9.

Angel explains how he's been keeping himself busy, since the sale of the CPL, with his gaming website The Adrenaline Vault:

Michele White, Editor-in-Chief, describes Adrenaline Vault best when she says, “The Avault of today still holds true to its original goal, but instead of being merely an online repository of ‘all the gaming news that’s fit to print’, it’s become an interactive online community for sharing ideas and opinions.” ... There’s a core group of people that read the site daily (about 5,000) and that is enough to motivate us to get them timely and honest information about our common passion… video games.

He goes on to discuss the highs (and the lows) of his experience with the CPL:

I think our biggest achievement was making eSports viable. Others may have thought about it first, and yet others may have done some tournaments first, but CPL made eSports a real option for many people across the globe. Thousands of people today make their living in or around eSports, from pro-gamers, media, organizers, vendors, to leagues, sponsors and corporations. And they all owe a bit of gratitude to the CPL’s groundbreaking efforts.
