Championship Gaming Series, the professional video gaming league, this week named Scot Rubin as its new vice president of marketing.
Rubin, who has more than 13 years of experience building online communities and monetizing interactive programming, most recently provided consulting and production services to the likes of CNet’s GameSpot, MTV’s GameTrailers and Hewlett Packard as the founder of All Games Productions.
