The deadline for all applications will be extended to December 22nd.
It's that time again. The compLexity Academy has opened up enrollment and is looking to add four up and coming North American StarCraft II players to add to its ranks. Two players will be picked up from a recruitment tournament scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 22nd. The tournament will follow the standard best of three, single elimination format.
The other two players will be chosen by Academy commissioner Michael "Twixz" Shane based on their application videos.
1) To identify and support potential future stars of StarCraft 2 by providing them with the gear, training partners and travel opportunities needed to elevate them to professional status
2) To foster an environment necessary to ensure the continued growth and development of the professional StarCraft 2 eSports scene in North America.
1) If a player is given a professional contract, his spot will be filled during the next CA Open Recruitment Tournament.
2) One month before each MLG LAN event, CA will hold a Qualifying Tournament from which the Top 1-2 players will be given airfare and hotel to the next MLG event.
