UC Irvine Collegiate StarCraft II LAN

"We have given up everything and followed you." -St. Peter
St. Peter's "Rock" Dialogue

CSL is kicking off 2012 with a series of FOUR regional LANs -- and with the first in Irvine, home of Blizzard entertainment and untapped Asian talent, there is no telling what the near future will bring for collegiate ESPORTS.

This weekend, UC Irvine's ballroom doors open for the inaugural Collegiate Starleague Regional LAN: West Coast.

With Gretorp and megumixbear casting, Xeris overseeing (or shall we say...CHAIRING) tournament operations, and Californian universities heading off face-to-face, this weekend will make history in ESPORTS. Itching for IPL? MLG? Lamenting the fact that IEM is in Kiev? Take a look at your own doorstep and lecture halls and realize that ESPORTS is here.

Follow this thread throughout the weekend to keep updated on the results and upsets of the Western region!

And this, ladies and gentleman, is how to transform an academic institution into an ESPORTS venue. Note: lots of chairs required.

TheGunRun is coming in and magicking up the venue for the awesome stream.

And make sure you say hi and thanks to our sponsors, Tt eSports and TwitchTV!
