Welcome to Thunderdome CSL Finals. It's been a long journey this season, but at last we have the best of the West and the beast of the East facing off this Sunday! Read what each team's coordinators have to say after the jump.

Identities revealed! Secrets exposed! Before the games, read what the players have to say, in our penultimate issue of this season's Interview Series!

Now with 100% LESS banners! (Let's all thank Steven Chen of UMichigan for kindly donating his artistic talents to create interview banners this season; he deserves it.)

More interviews, more coverage - welcome to playoffs. Read this week what UMich has to say!

This weekend, sixteen schools step outside their comfort zones (and divisions) and fight for the chance to play in the "second" Ro16 next week. Join CSL veterans McGill, Duke, and UCI for their second or third runs; cheer on playoff newcomers Binghamton and Ryerson; BM the team that knocked you to fourth place in divisions. Maybe even join channel CSL and challenge UVic to a rap battle.

Follow the Round of 16 (part I of II) this weekend, casted by our very own Mark Ha (DarthThienAn from Princeton), Peter Liu (Daisy P, Princeton coach), and Dennis Qian (menace from Rice).

Hello all and welcome to another installment of the CSL weekly interview series! I apologize for the delays in these coming out, and hopefully we'll be all caught-up on responses and formatting soon! Again, if your team is interested in doing an interview, especially in these last two weeks of divisional play, send an email to cstarleague@gmail.com and we'll set you up for one soon!

This week we're bringing you an interview with the only and only Rutgers CSL team, a team known for its bad-manner, trash-talking and trouble with the law. Find out what they have to say about their performance this season, the Eddie Sun incident, and why they're so terrible at SC! Hint: It starts with a D and ends with an otA.

Warning: this interview is rated R for adult themes, adult activity, hard language, suggested violence, sexually-oriented nudity and drug abuse... Also, it is fairly text-heavy (given the content, it would be safer not to post the relevant pictures.) Viewers beware.

Hello all and welcome again to another installment of our weekly interview series! Due to some technical difficulties (and a personal illness), the interviews scheduled for weeks 4 and 5 have been slightly delayed... so without further ado, the first of four interviews in a JAM-PACKED WEEKEND of HYPE. Today, we'll be bringing you a brief interview with the University of Southern California! Remember, if you want your team to be interviewed, send a message to cstarleague@gmail.com and we'll be in touch!

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.

Hello all and welcome to week 2 of the CSL! This week, we've got two quick interviews with schools who are new to the CSL, but not necessarily new to Starcraft! In one corner, we've got Rob 'LuckyFool' Griesemer, DC-area LAN organizer, B- Terran and coordinator for George Mason University. In the other corner, we've got Oregon State University, home to Starcraft community names like K-Pop aficionado Solinren and {88}iNcontroL of WCG fame. Remember, if your team wants to be interviewed, contact cstarleague@gmail.com and we'll set you up!
