Now that the season CSL Season has officially finished, it's time to announce the winner of the CSL Bracket Contest! Our winner is none other than Matt "Gensulitor" East, who is not only good at Starcraft 2 (being one of the CSL's top performers) but is also a great predictor of results. Gensulitor got 7 of the top 8 teams in the CSL correct, and was 4 for 4 in the semi finals. He did predict the wrong winner however, as he picked RPI over Waterloo in the Grand Finals. Despite not getting the final right, he had the "most" correct bracket of any of our 30 entries!

Stakes are high and the pressure is on as University of Waterloo faces University of British Columbia last Friday for the finals of the CSL. Both teams have a strong roster of four grandmasters and have defeated many formidable teams to get where they are now. The energy and excitement is high with Day[9] casting in his trademark whimsical way with the first match-up between teammates coLAntimage (P) for UW and NOVAStalife (T) for UBC on Metalopolis. coLAntimage playing a more economical build which suffers to an aggressive marine marauder medivac push.

There are just two and a half weeks left (about 16 days) in the LIKE US Contest. If you want a chance to win, tell your friends to LIKE the CSL & Tt eSports!! Yu Wang (CSL) and Tyler Rosen (Tt eSports) are currently the heavy favorites to win. Enter today to try and take their thunder!

Posted in , , ,

Greetings everyone! We have another team interview for you today! As always, if you would like your team to be interviewed by the CSL just send an email to cstarleague@gmail.com and we'll be more than happy to conduct an interview with your team.

Today we have the University of Texas at Austin. An amazing team that has been performing very well in this season, winning their first three matches and looking to be a very strong competitor this season. The team took some time after attending MLG Dallas to answer some questions for us and here is what they had to say.

It is with great sadness that we announce the removal of The University of Wisconsin-Madison from the CSL. While we strive to create a fun and competitive environment for all schools to participate in, it unfortunately is the reality that some will attempt to bend the rules and take unfair advantages.
