Hello friends! It's a wonderful 3 day weekend here in the states, and what better way to start it off than by giving out some awesome StarCraft news!
First of all, a recap of what the CSLPRO circuit will be. (Full TL post here: tl.net) We will have 2 major tournaments, CSL Winter and CSL Spring. Leading up to each event will be regional events for EU and NA. There will also be a Last Chance tournament right before CSLAN 2025. The league will run on a point based system, where the more you play, and the more you win, the more points you get. The top 8 players from the circuit will be invited with covered travel costs to CSLAN, which will be the grand finals of the circuit!
Firstly, starting in October the first Saturday of every month will be the CSLPRO Monthly. These are monthly open brackets where anyone is welcome to show up and play! This is where players will get a fair bulk of their points for the season. There will be cash prizes for each tournament, so everyone is encouraged to show up. These will start at 11am Central US time (6pm Central EU time). These should be fun ways to play against some fun people and stay in shape.
The first major event is CSL Winter. The main event for CSL Winter will be December 13-15. Currently, this will be an online event, pending any major sponsors. The players for CSL Winter (and Spring) will come out of the regional qualifiers! The qualifiers will take place from Nov 1st to the 24th. The format will be open signup groups, and the winners from each groups will play in a playoff bracket.
The current prize pools are as follows: Monthlies - $50 Regionals - $500 per region Majors - $1000 CSLAN - $1500
Thank you all for being an awesome community, and I look forward to watching some awesome StarCraft games with y'all!

Hello friends!
Update time. The points have been finalized, and I'm proud to announce we have 2 partner leagues for this year of CSLPRO! Shoutouts to ZZZero, ShibaTerran, and Flying for partnering BSL and BWCL to CSLPRO!
The most important takeaway is that you need to play more StarCraft! If you read nothing else, read that you should play in CSLPRO, BSL, and BWCL! There's so much StarCraft coming that it's impossible to say the game is dead. Below you can find the exact point breakdown per event.
Here's the point breakdown: (Total/1st/2nd/top4/top8) Monthly - 290 100 50 30 20 Major Qualis - 580 200 100 60 40 Major - 1500 500 300 150 100 Last Chance - 2300 600 400 250 200 BSL - 900 250 150 100 75 BWCL - 10 per series won in 1v1
As you can see, it's very worth your time to play in BSL and BWCL, as well as play in as many monthlies as you can. With some good results, you definitely have a shot at qualifying top 8 for the CSLAN finals. Make sure you keep looking at the forums, as there'll be a post soon for the first monthly, coming up in about 2 weeks!
