The story of this week in the Eastern Conference seems to be closely contested 3-2’s and… not so closely contested 3-0’s. Only 1 match out of the 14 played this week was decided with a score of 3-1 (Princeton over George Mason). Regardless of set scores though, there were no surprises in the overall match results. Powerhouses from last season continued to fare well, especially against the newer teams.

Heads up! The following matches are a bit patchy, and we need your help:

• Georgia Institute of Technology vs Virginia Tech link (all)
• Northwestern University vs Northern Illinois University link (all)

Upload replays, or send in info via email if there are discrepancies! Thanks!

While the prizes have already been distributed, we would like to mention that UCSD and Waterloo both received StarCraft 2 beta keys for making it to the grand finals of CSL Season 2. Congrats again to both teams and a huge thank you to Blizzard for their awesome support of CSL.

The match reporting page on the site makes use of a library called pyreplib to parse replays for players. This library gets the job done, but has serious downsides when compared to the much more mature repasm. One of those downsides is that the library does not distinguish between players and observers - so we assume that the two players with the highest APMs are most likely to be the players we are looking for.

This is a pretty good assumption... normally :)

Since ICCUP is unfortunately down for the next five days, we suggest playing your matches using chaoslauncher on Battle.net or trying hamachi (using forcebind will help - tutorial: http://www.sc2gg.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=163), or however you can.

Some teams will probably have difficulty contacting each other or downloading these programs, in which case, postponing your matches will be perfectly fine. In that case, please note that you will have to play two matches next weekend to catch up.

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 3 of CSL Interviews! This week we've got the University of Ottawa and Binghamton Unviersity that have taken the time to sit down and talk to us a little about their CSL+ experience so far. Binghamton joined the CSL last semester with only 5 players, but has since doubled the size of their team with some strong players (read: Koreans), while Ottawa is a newcomer this season that has started to show some impressive results in its division. As always, if you want your team to be featured in this interview series, send an email over to cstarleague@gmail.com and we'll set you up.

Read more after the jump!

To minimize any ambiguity:

As a general rule, if the match goes to Ace and one of the teams does not want to reveal their Ace player publicly, you should get a neutral party (ie. an admin, or someone from another team, or some random ICCup user) and pm them with both Aces. If no one cares, then that's pretty obvious - just announce and go.

For uploading the match results, you have two options:

Thanks to a tip from one of our users, we were able to investigate claims of Rutgers using an illegal player in the CSL. Fanatacist, who does not attend Rutgers (but was allowed to play last season due to the mercenary rule) has been found playing for Rutgers this season.
