CSL is back for 2019-2020

CSL is back with more games and more scholarship prizing than ever! In Spring 2009, collegiate esports was born when CSL hosted the first ever collegiate competition, featuring 25 schools competing in StarCraft: Brood War.

This year, we’re featuring leagues for League of Legends, Dota, CSGO, Fortnite, Magic the Gathering, Street Fighter V, NBA2K, Madden, Hearthstone, Rocket League, Overwatch, and Super Smash Bros. Melee & Ultimate bringing together tens of thousands of collegiate gamers from across North America to compete.

Registration opens September 1st and for most games closes October 13th. First week of matches is October 19th.

This year Star League will be what previously were our varsity divisions and our JV divisions will now be the Open League.

**Disclaimer: Specific rules for each game are being finalized. Full details will be released September 1st, but we wanted to give schools some advance notice on what games to prepare for!**
