It's looking like the organizers of next month's E For All Expo are moving the consumer gaming event more into the pro gaming tournament (or e-sports) arena. The event was previously announced as the host for the US finals of the 2008 World Cyber Games and today it was announced that yet another similar event will be held at E For All as well.

The event in question is the Intel Extreme Masters league who will hold tournaments that will give out $80,000 in total cash prizes at E For All on October 3-5 at the LA Convention Center. Teams will play in World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike 1.6 matches and the top teams, besides winning prize money, will move onto the world finals of the Intel Extreme Masters in Germany during CeBIT in 2009.
