CSL’s new look

Today will see Collegiate StarLeague undergo an overhaul that includes a rebrand that features a new logo and visual identity as well as a new classification system for players as the company prepares for season 11. CSL now features over 1,800 participating universities with 55,000 active players. The new season, however, will now feature player levels known as The StarLeague (Varsity/Competitive) and the Open League (Casual and Social), instead of Divison 1 and Division 2/3 with games set to include League of Legends, Dota, CSGO, Fortnite, Street Fighter V, Madden, Hearthstone, Rocket League, Overwatch, Super Smash Bros. Melee & Ultimate, and more.

“We are excited to launch our updated branding for CSL! The rising importance of collegiate esports for the development of the overall competitive gaming ecosystem is in full evidence, and CSL is in a lead position to provide and deliver the appropriate collegiate leagues, on-campus events, programming and content, building paths for aspiring players as well as building and supporting careers in the business of esports,” said CSL CEO and GM Wim Stocks. “ We are proud of CSL’s accomplishments as one of the leaders in collegiate esports, we believe our new branding properly reflects our stature and position in this exciting realm of ours.”
