OMG, this is so cool, big kudos to CSL for putting together something like this, you guys rock.

Unfortunately I was never really good enough to play on my CSL team (they had plenty of actual good players, so not much room for a diamond scrub like myself), but it's been really cool to see the team grow over the last two years since it first started. Once I am able to return to school I hope I will be able to make more time for SC and maybe be more active with the CSL, truly one of the great Esports organizations I've had the pleasure to work with.

Oh, and CU Boulder fighting! ( I know we lost to Auburn in the Playoffs, but still great team)

Someone who can retain a GM rank while scoring straight A:s deserves something because that is impressive. Awesome initiative!

Very cool. This is the sort of news I love sharing with my friends and family to help legitimatize it as a sport in their minds. Thanks CSL!

Oh my goodness. I never expected to see a scholarship for gamers when I checked TL. Xeris and The CSL are models of what should come in the next five years of gaming in the US.
I can't wait to tell my fellow students about the new uprising of gaming, not only in the competitive nature but it's encouragement of higher education.

I 100% commend Xeris and the CSL, not just because I'll soon be heading into post secondary, but because this idea in generally is amazing. Adding scholarships to post secondary institutions is a HUGE step in legitimizing e-sports, just as academic and athletic scholarships legitimize those respective aspects at post secondary institutions.

Great job and hope it turns out well!
