Earlier this year, the Collegiate Starleague and AZUBU gave an announcement that the Grand Finals of the AZUBU Collegiate Champions would be hosted in Seoul, Korea. EGSuppy and other CSL coordinators and players wrote an appeal to AZUBU for an event in North America, a Best of Seven finals, and a four-team event.
AZUBU heard your appeal. Today, the Collegiate Starleague and AZUBU are happy to announce that we're doing it LIVE in Los Angeles: four universities, best of 7, and over $180,000 in prizes.
