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!
