Two stories from the burgeoning sport of all things electronic with PokerStars.fr sponsoring a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) league, and the New York Yankees partnering with Vision ESports.

The French arm of PokerStars is moving into the esports business after agreeing to sponsor a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) league.

PokerStars will sponsor the second season of the Esports European League shown exclusively on the French general public on Channel C8 (owned by Canal+).

The first season is currently underway with five French teams and one Danish team involved. The prize money on offer is €20,000, a pretty low-grade amount for an esports event.
