I'm a student studying in KAIST, eventhough my english is not good T.T I'm going to translate some articles about Korean Collegiate eSports. I believe we can develop a league like CSL also in Korea
Now THIS is cool stuff. Good luck to all of you!
Wow this is really awesome! Can't wait to see more cross continent CSL showmatches!
So what happened to Quantic? And do these college kids get to do GSTL?
Also I'm trying to translate another article, about our team OPTeamus but my poor English skill is a big problem T.T
Pretty soon StarTale will have a monopoly on all Korean players. How large does this make their roster, or their + affiliated rosters? Either way, good for StarTale!

no, VERITAS is just a amateur team, this partnership is quite different from Quantic-Startale partnersip since it is Pro-Amateur partnership
is quantic and startale still partners?
I really like this, promoting the amateur Korean scene is great.

Congrats to both parties. Hopefully Startale can help develop the talent on the amateur team and make the sc2 scene even more competitive!

yes, this partnership is individual, It's more like coaching partnership I think
Huge props for StarTale for participating in this partnership, and huge shoutouts to Seron and everyone at KAIST who have been reaching out to western schools in the CSL and bridging the international scene. What an exciting development!

Dude, you have amazing English! No need to be so negativer <3 Also StarTale going for world domination.
I think Harvard should get a team and make a double partnership hur hur hur
Lux et Veritas Mea, right? Means something like "Truth is my Light" in Latin - Interesting that a korean uni has a latin saying in their logo Thank you for taking the time to translate Seron, your english is great Edit: My latin is definitely rusty!
is this a way to find up and comers or something? what do both sides get out of this?

You should check out a lot of southeast asian educational facilities, a lot of them have latin sayings relating to their crest/logo.
Wow that's fucking awesome. Why can't I be going to SNU :<
Sounds awesome, good luck with starting your league!
/clap. I love StarTale. Veritas should use this opportunity as best as they can! <3
I really like the idea of a pro-amateur partnership... I feel like this is very progressive and should develop SC2 further!
For OP; Just out of curiosity how many Korean schools have programs like this or SC2 clubs? I am attending Sogang next year on an exchange program and was wondering if there was anything similar to an SC2 club/CSL team there, but couldn't find anything online.
this is awesome! i hope we can do a showmatch between colleges :D
Thanks for letting us know and translating, having a Korean amateur league would be great!
In case anyone's wondering, "Jowie Gear" is ZOWIE. Maybe the op should fix that?
Wow, so cool that to see that more college teams are being supported I'm also considering KAIST for a international student exchange program xD Best of luck!

np. Good job with the translation.
This is so cool. I wish pro teams in the US would partner with schools >< There are so many SC2 players and avid fans in the college age group.

Harvard has a team, and a good one. Won the Eastern division and took 3rd place overall in the CSL last year. But yeah, kinda jacking our motto there.
This is really cool! I'd love to see the Korean CSL scene develop more :D
They must match all actions taken by MVP! Gj ST! Startale hwaiting~~~~

wow this will give ST great talent for sure haha
A CSL korea! Scary thought of how strong the development will get over there but maybe a cool future of special cross matches or maybe even a world league.

This seems like it might be a really good opportunity for Startale.
Wanna see how Veritas benefits from this
A CSL-like league in Korea is a great idea. There's mountains of talent underneath the very top level, but you really only ever see that top 1%.
Nice move, congrats to StarTale!
KCSL (Korean college starleague)? I wanna see an international college starleague finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
college league in Korea! awesome!
I would settle for Startale winning a team league before going for world domination.
