Congratulations to Raff Webb, a late addition to the South Team, for playing so well and helping the South take out the 2nd Annual CPL All-Star Game.
Pierre, on the losing North Team, has not spoken to Raff since…
All joking aside, congratulations to the CPL for an incredibly well-run event.  All competitors and even spectators had a great time, with plenty of highlights throughout the day and lots of good-natured trash-talking.
The All-Star game comes straight off the back of an epic performance by the Big Bangs at last Thursday’s CPL Game, …

Congratulations to Pierre Johannessen on making the All-Star Team, representing the North!
Congratulations also to Seiji Armstrong, who will be competing in the 3pt contest!  Make sure you make it to the event to cheer for both Big Bangs members at this year’s CPL All-Star game!
