Story

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?

Welcome to the Collegiate StarLeague!

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. Fifty-four teams and nearly four hundred players duked it out in season two. The third season features over seventy teams. We have a re-vamped website, better coverage, and much more broadcasting lined up this season.

Our shared dream of introducing e-Sports to North America is only just beginning. The CSL is merely a small step in the process of creating enough excitement and passion for e-Sports to fill stadiums, be broadcast on television, and ultimately become a part of mainstream culture.

In the end though, the formula for why CSL is so awesome remains the same. Five 1-on-1 games of pure competitive StarCraft every week; live audience, commentators, and internet stream optional.
