Check out the Eastern Conference's first week!

Eastern Conference: Week 1

Hello CSL+ fans! The CSL+ is back and bigger than ever, with 70+ teams all fighting for the title of Biggest Starcraft Nerds in College! It’s time for the weekly new report on the Eastern Conference! Everyone’s up and ready to get back into the groove of playing some Starcraft. We start off this week with a college dropping out of the East 4 Division, Stanford I believe, giving the University of Georgia a bye. We also have a very low number of 3 – 0 wins this week, with MIT and UT dominating their opponents with straight 3 – 0 wins. Also apparently Rutgers has been sharpening their Starcraft skills, as they completely destroyed Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute(Say that three times fast) in a 4 – 0 annihilation, the first eastern team to do so this season.

On the more balanced side, we’ve got 3 – 1 wins coming from Ottawa, McGill, George Mason, Binghamton, York and of course, Waterloo. They’re back this season and ready to take some heads, and off to a good start it looks like. After losing their first game to Ryerson University (Yeah I’m not too sure who they are either.), Waterloo came back angry and owned the next three scrubs that they played. We also had a bit of a mishap with the UCF vs GIT game, where it seems GIT won 2 – 1. That’s right, 2 – 1. My only guess as to what might have happened there was that one of players in the first match decided that going outside and having a life on Valentine’s Day was more important than Starcraft. Pffft.

On to the Ace Matches! Harvard managed to beat Carleton this week in an intense match where Joe Lee, or CU.Fruitcake, decided that his team losing 3 – 0 was unacceptable and somehow played the next two games himself, with TWO different races, winning both time! I guess he must’ve gotten too tired to play in the Ace Match however, because they sent out C._.V, who lost to Spencer Lang. Yale beat Cornell 3 – 2 this week also, after Kamil Wasilewski overcome his earlier game loss to win a clutch game in the Ace Match. Other 3 – 2 wins include CMU, Duke, and Emory. Duke and Emory proving that Starcraft is more important than having a social life by playing on V Day. Much love guys.

Next week should be a rather tame week, with none of the matches jumping out at me as overly exciting. We get to see if Princeton is still in form after their 3 – 1 loss to Waterloo last playoffs and the East 4 division will not be playing on Valentine’s Day this time, so hopefully we’ll see more normal stats out of them this time. And that’s it for the Eastern Conference News, see you guys next time!
