Snoop will serve as the league's first commissioner, ensuring that all matches played online via Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 are fair.
"I'm an initiator, and this new intersection of Hip-Hop and video gaming is something that's ready to happen," Snoop said.
"Hip-Hop loves video gaming, and I've been watching this develop into the next big sport. The HHGL is my way of taking it to the next level," Snoop continued. "We're going to take this thing straight over the stratosphere, and the whole world can watch and participate as people like myself--who hate to lose--put it on the line."
