What is the CSL
Ever wonder what it would be like to have your home team play against your biggest rivals -- not on the football field, but instead on the virtual landscape of StarCraft?

The CSL uses South Korea’s Starcraft “Proleague” as a model for its format – pitting teams against each other on a weekly basis. We've come a long way in our first year. Twenty-five teams participated in the inaugural season of CSL. This season, we had over three hundred schools. Four schools remain. This weekend, one claims the championship title live in Orlando, Florida..

Looks that way. I really hope CSL does well. College sports is a very strong base for any professional sport and I feel it should be the same for eSports.
Looks amazing! CSL is really doing great for the community -- next step school sponsored teams, then scholarships for SC2 players, then scouts who go around to HSL meets to pick up players for their college's CSL team.

Also interested in this.
MSI, NZXT, JINX, Tt eSPORTS, Razer, & nVidia - Saving SoCal eSports one sponsor at a time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah! If only CMU didn't take RIT out, I don't know who to cheer for now ;D

I'm confused, the brackets at CSL's website say that the division finals were to be played on May 12th and 13th, but no results are shown. Liquipedia doesn't show results either, am I missing something here?
Either way definitely looking forward to the grand finals. UW fighting!
If I smite you, have you been smitten?

Yeah, took me a second to figure out that the casts on CSL's twitch stream aren't streamed when the games are played. I guess what I'm really asking then is whether there is a schedule for the stream casts? The Eastern and Central conference finals were streamed yesterday, it appears, so it would logically follow that they will be streaming the Western and Northern conference finals later today, but you know what they say about jumping to the island of conclusions...
