CSL and MLG join forces to hold the CSL Finals for StarCraft II, Dota 2 and League of Legends at the MLG Championship in Anaheim this june.
We are proud to announce that the CSL Finals will take place in CSL's booth at the MLG Championship in Anaheim, CA this year from June 20-22. During the MLG Championship weekend, the CSL will hold top notch collegiate StarCraft II, Dota 2, and League of Legends competitions in a dedicated booth on the show floor and all the action will be broadcast on MLG.tv. Last year, UC Berkeley took down Chunam Techno University of Korea in a thrilling StarCraft final while Texas A&M upset the heavy favorite UC Irvine in League of Legends. This will be the first ever live collegiate Dota 2 event in history and we're excited to see which team takes home the gold. With three games and over 30 hours of content in the works, there are more reasons than ever to reserve your MLG Anaheim spectator pass or tune in to watch the competition live on MLG.tv.
Stay tuned for updates about the event and make sure to stop by the CSL booth at the venue to catch all the action in person and win some swag from our awesome sponsors. None of this would be possible without the support of MSI, Ting, and Razer.
