CSL does not have the intention of creating competition or rivalries with other eSports organizations. Though we work separately and are both working on our own collegiate LoL tournaments and seasons, we respect IvyLol for their work, as our primary goal is for the advancement of eSports both in the collegiate scene and as a whole!
|
CSL has much more potential than IvyLoL anyway. The reason is because of the years of organizing they have with the Starcraft collegiate community.
Yes, IvyLoL did come out first for collegiate LoL, but I'm largely unimpressed with the way they've been managing things.
|
ESPORTS sent me here to make sure everyone knows that League of Legends is also an ESPORT. CSL is awesome, and so is ESPORTS. LoL is less awesome than ESPORTS, but that doesn't make it any less of an ESPORT. As such, please participate in this, EATHLETES of lesser ESPORTS than STARCRAFT.

We ran auditions for casters a few weekends ago, but you are welcome to email us at lol@cstarleague.com if you are still interested in casting. How does that work? Can you cast from LoL Replays into spectator mode or do you have to cast live?

Can more than one team sign up for one school? For example can Rutgers have more than one active team of 5 people?
Multiple teams are now allowed, submit teams as A, B, C, etc. Email us at lol@cstarleague.com for inquiries on previously submitted rosters and if you need changes.

We have since moved the tournament ahead, so there's no clash with MLG.

The Grand Finals of CSLoL's PRIME Tournament was intended to be cast by Travis from State of the League and Ex-EpikGamer member CuRtoKy on their stream, however, due to technical difficulties, silverdirge and I had to jump in and save the day!
Unfortunately we weren't able to cast the first game in the best-of-3 series (UC Irvine 1-0 UCSD), but to watch the nail-biting conclusion to the Tournament (plus an extra-special CSLoL Admin Showmatch) check out the Twitch.tv VoD below:
