EPTCSLAN 3 was incredible! Big shout out to everyone who came out, and enjoyed the tournament in person, and to everyone who watched online. There's nothing like 30 great people getting together to play BW and hang out. So many faces that have been there every year, and so many new ones as well. I'll make sure to attach some photos below, so keep reading to see all the fun.
Additionally, after we had to redo the whole stream setup, we announced something really cool coming up, so let's talk about it!

The International Platinum StarLeague!
CSLPRO will be undergoing a bit of a change this season, and this is the place to learn all about it! The best place to keep up with everything is in the discord: discord.gg
The Big Changes
Firstly, we will be moving to a full ASL-style StarLeague format. 3 open qualifiers, with 8 players from each day advancing into the Ro24. From there, players will fight in groups to make it into the Ro16, where our top 4 players from this past season of CSLPRO will be waiting for them (Stryker, ZZZero, Julian, and Dewalt). From there, the Ro16 players will fight into a bracket Ro8, until one player is crowned the winner.
The top 4 from each StarLeague (Winter and Spring) will be directly invited to CSLAN 4 next year to fight it out for an increased $2500 prize pool! CSLAN keeps growing and being more popular every year, and it's thanks to you guys coming and supporting that we can keep it happening!
In addition to the 2 SLs, the monthlies will continue! With a big shoutout to LML and Hexe, the prize pool will be $100 every month, split across the top 8. One of the biggest complains we've had is the length of the tournament, which we are working on. It'll still be a one day bracket, but keep your ears open for what's coming!
The prizes
IPSL Winter 2025:
$80 per qualifier day, split among players that qualify into the Ro24
$1500 broken across the Ro16 and up. (full breakdown will be on our website and the discord)
$100 per monthly broken across the Ro8 and up. (full breakdown will be on our website and the discord)
