As an NHL fan, I’d normally resign myself to seeing the newly-founded, made-for-TV Championship Gaming Series joining poker shows in beating out hockey ratings.

Whether or not that happens, I’ll still have the last laugh, just because this pixelated “league” has the most ridiculous franchise team names ever cooked up:

The new league has six U.S. franchises — Chicago Chimera, Carolina Core, San Francisco Optx, Los Angeles Complexity, Dallas Venom and New York 3D.

“Yeah baby, I’m a pro athlete. I play videogames for Complexity LA — represent, y’all!”
