What is the CSL
Its simple just imagine the NCAA but for starcraft. With famous names like Sean Day 9 Plott, QXC, Spades and more being veterans of this league the CSL has grown from the weekend competive fun between two schools, to a year long battle royal. The Collegiate Starleague now features over 320 colleges across the US and Canada, who fought it out to get to the playoffs. Now four spots, one for each region are up for grabs, each earning a spot at the live grand finals being held at the University of Central Florida.
Finals
This year were doing it big, and finals will be broadcasts live from UCF in Orlando FL. Four schools will step onto the stage for the first ever live team league outside of Korea. Not only that but the event will be a 2-day venture, with the first day to feature the CSL all Stars tournament. Oh yeah did we mention it will be casted?
Live Caster
A CSL veteran himself this man needs no introduction, yes ladies and gentlemen Sean "Day 9" Plott will be there to cast it all, and maybe do some other fun stuff (say tuned).
