LAUNCH OF NEW CPL GAMING PORTAL

A New Era for The CPL

Singapore 1st May 2010 - CPL Digital Entertainment Pte. Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of the new CPL gaming portal and its acquisition by WuLong Ventures Pte. Ltd.

“The new CPL is a departure from the professional gaming craze that has consumed most of the industry over the past few years and led to decisions that were not in the best interest of the community. We aspire to build a platform that empowers gamers with the ability to make key decisions about the games we support and how those games interact with our sites. While we respect the notion of professional gaming we feel there’s a need to get back to the roots that first allowed a community to develop through the CPL”said Ryan Schumacher, newly appointed CEO of WuLong Ventures Pte. LTD

The CPL site will be organized around game communities and allow gamers to select which they would like to interact with. Each community will have various modules such as beta testing, content and leagues that are defined by the community itself. "These channels mean we can break down the barriers and really listen to what our gamers want and react accordingly" said Hunter Luisi CTO of WuLong Ventures Pte. Ltd.

“The experience will be personalized for everyone and enable you to game the way you want. If you’re an RTS fan you can choose to participate in those communities and limit your engagement with other genres” In the coming weeks the CPL will be bringing features online and making additional announcements that will enable the community to shape this vision. “This is really the first step in getting ourselves out there so gamers understand what the new CPL is all about. We understand the need for an open, online gaming community and are looking to fill that void through the CPL and CAL.” said Frank Yong, Chairman of WuLong Ventures Pte. Ltd. “By building an infrastructure that allows the community to stand on its own two feet we can provide a place gamers can call home”

Claims for Unpaid Prize Money

One of the major issues that have come up over the years has been the alleged non-payment of prize monies to a number of players from previous CPL events. As we start to unveil our new course for CPL, the previous owners and we would like to show our commitment to the community and those that participated in the past CPL events by paying anyone who can prove that they did not receive their prize payments. These claims will go through a vetting process and be audited by a third party. The form to begin the process, if you feel you’re qualified, will be released this week as part of the CPL Portal rollout.

Friday, 14, November 2008 - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and Dallas, Texas, USA - The newly formed CPL Holdings Group, LLC announced today that it has acquired the Cyberathlete Amateur League (CAL) in an all cash transaction that divests NewWorld.com, Inc. (former parent of CAL) and its shareholders from any interest in CAL.

The new management of CAL, will seek to increase its worldwide presence, enhance its infrastructure, and create a more interactive and fair environment for online game competitions. Participation in CAL will continue to be free of cost.

Ms. Angela Summers, a spokesperson for the CPL Holdings Group, LLC, said, "We are excited to have completed our first acquisition at the new CPL. We are also evaluating other media and gaming technology properties in Europe and Asia for either acquisition or partnership."

CAL was launched on March 6, 2001, when NewWorld.com, Inc., acquired the Domain of Games online league. Beginning with a single Counter-Strike division and 3,000 members, CAL has since grown to 16 game divisions and 300,000 registered members. Over the last 12 months, CAL has generated 17 million visits and 170 million page impressions.

CAL (www.caleague.com) was the world’s first online league to form periodic structured seasons, complete with pre-season, regular season and playoffs. In addition, CAL was the first online league to introduce integrated team predictions, roster locks, score tickers, draft leagues, and game ID locks.

The newly acquired CPL, LLC announced today that it intends to move forward on an aggressive time-line with the hiring of its core executive team and the identification and acquisition of technologies and distribution platforms, all leading to a 2009 launch with two international events, including one event in the United States.

In the next 90 days, CPL, LLC will engage a team of industry professionals and is currently seeking to fill positions in Marketing, Business Development, Online Development, and Event Production. Persons with experience in these fields who also have experience endemic to the gaming industry are invited to submit a resume to jobs@thecpl.ae*.

While focus is currently on major media and technology development organizations, the investment group recognizes that the gaming community itself is often the origin for the most advanced competitive gaming technology, and plans to offer a medium through which independently developed technology can be presented for review.

Before the end of 2008, CPL, LLC will announce the details for two large international events to be hosted in 2009. Various game titles across multiple platforms are currently being reviewed for inclusion in these events, with the objective of including both competitive and entertainment titles. One of these events will be hosted in the United States; the location of the second event is currently undecided.
