The Championship Gaming Series held their highly anticpated Draft tonight at the Playboy Mansion. The GMs representing cities from across the country gathered to make their selections for the upcoming CGS season. Little were surprised by Kat Hunter's, San Francisco, choice to pick up PMS Vanessa Artega with the first overall pick. Selections for the draft required lots of thought as GMs had to select players that will not only be good in the long run, but also players from games with the most potential to rake points for the organization. Most of the organizations were quick to pick up players for their Dead or Alive and Project Gotham Racing divisions. The only CS teams taken in the first 2 rounds were Complexity, 3D, and Jax Money Crew.
