DALLAS, July 15, 2001 - Valiente, the newest and fastest growing Latino lifestyle magazine in Texas, has dedicated the cover of its tenth issue to the mastermind who conceived an innovative computer gaming sport that is rapidly becoming a legitimate professional sport of its own.

The rise of Angel Munoz, founder and president of the Dallas-based Cyberathlete Professional League, is chronicled in a six-page profile that traces his career from janitor in 1979 to stockbroker, investment banker, and today, the head of a multimillion-dollar computer gaming empire.

According to the article, Munoz' four-year old Cyberathlete Professional League today encompasses 300,000 cyberathletes in 30 countries throughout the world. The CPL annually awards more than $300,000 in prize money, and has attracted sponsors like Intel, Microsoft, Logitech and ViewSonic to become one of the hottest forces in the $8 billion per year computer/video game industry.

"Valiente is dedicated to highlighting Hispanic role models that are successful and have a positive impact in their communities. The CPL is a success model that we at Valiente can relate to. Both organizations have had the experience of overcoming and becoming."

"We were both told it couldn't work and laughed at when starting new companies. Angel Munoz's story is what being 'Valiente' means," said Gavin Wallace, publisher of Valiente magazine.

Valiente magazine is a monthly English-language publication. Its goal is to acclaim success in the Latino community and address poignant issues concerning people, places and communities. The magazine's editorial, includes features, profiles, and departments in business, culture, fashion, home decor, cuisine, health, the arts and more.
