GPL India: a new partner, a new name, and a new focus

We aren’t sportifying poker no more. Kwan Entertainment and Mediarex Sports & Entertainment ink a deal to bring Global Player League to India and as you can tell there is no poker in that name. 

The Global Poker League (GPL) brought Fedor Holz to tears. I watched him stand on stage on the night of the draft, choking back the saline, as he described his pride at being selected.

A lot has changed since then.

The Montreal Nationals won the thing. Fedor Holz won everything else, (grabbing the attention of podcast prince Lewis Howes no less), and the GPL lost the word Poker from the title.
