Can anyone explain what is Starcraft University? What are the team lineups? All I know is that my favorite aggro players Soma, Jaedong, and Rush are all on Basford, don't know the other players on the team though.

It's like the CPL but for Koreans.

- Korean pros help teach Korean gosus who help teach Korean chobos who help teach Korean noobs, structured in a 'sc university'

P.S. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong

Hasu is the accurate term for the medium player. So Gosu->Hasu -> chobo. But chobo is meant disrespectful.

If anyone is interested in the university league here are some wikis on the seasons and tournaments:

These are the university leagues organised by ginyuda
https://namu.wiki/w/조용히사라배 대학CK

(Currently ongoing)
https://namu.wiki/w/조용히사라배 대학대전 시즌2

there's the woo starleague for BJ's / half-pros
https://namu.wiki/w/HOT6 스타크래프트 멸망전 2022 우리들의 스타리그 시즌3

And Afreeca also organises their own team-leagues based now on the university system:
https://namu.wiki/w/떡볶이참잘하는집 스타크래프트 멸망전 2022 대학대전 시즌1

Maybe these showed up in the tourney section, I am not sure.

Good evening, to summarize,

Stacraft University is a group of Korean streamers from AfreecaTV or sometimes twitch or youtube. These streamers all came from different types of content, ranging from LoL, Pubg, etc. What the progamers do is they go around and ask if they are interested in learning about statcraft and competeing with one another.

The ranking goes as
God tier: Current ASL participants
King tier: Former Progamers
Queen tier: Fomer Progamers
Jack tier: Former Progamers
Tier 0 - 8

The owner of the university isn't necessarily always a progamer but another streamer who is interested in funding of the university and see the players growth.

This seems to have brought alot of attention back to starcraft, as other streamers from different games increased the both player and viewership pool. And for smaller streamers, they get more publicity by playing and learning from other progamers.

They also host starcraft tournament leagues and cast them live.

People can join different university but they are also interviewed and see what that university can bring and for the progamers. They actually do live interviewd which is very funny to watch.

Frame colors
Magenta = close to promotion (being the best of your tier)
Cyan = recently promoted
Yellow = new to the scene
Green = recently returned to the scene
Grey = on hiatus

Thanks guys for the info. Is there any updated site that shows the full rosters of all universities?
I have heard that there are these 2 universities: UKKZ and INO but I didn't find any info about them in online rosters.
