The CPL announced today that it has selected Justin Blanchard as League Commissioner.
Justin started his esports career in 1999 by volunteering for DoG (an online league that was acquired by CPL and re-launched as CAL). At CAL he was division administrator, head administrator, league manager and finally director of operations before passing those responsibilities on in 2003 to focus on the professional league.

At CPL he started as a volunteer in April 2000 and was promoted to tournament manager, qualifier manager, and then to tournament director.

His vast experience in all facets of CPL operations is an invaluable asset he brings to this new position. When his promotion was made official, he stated, "My goals as commissioner are to help promote our new sport worldwide through increasingly professional tournaments. I want the CPL to provide the best tournament experience with the most fun possible for both competitors and spectators."

Today, Justin's name was added to the official historical list of CPL commissioners:

1997 - John Romero
1998 - Frank Cabanski
1998 - Michael Wardwell (currently Assistant Commissioner)
2001 - Frank Nuccio
2004 - Justin Blanchard
