News & Updates
For the first time in a long time, we have some major CAL news to share: the league will be winding down at the end of season 51.
It's been a wild ride, to say the least. When we created CAL, we envisioned a league where players could compete, improve, and eventually be noticed by teams. It was our small contribution to the Asian CS:GO ecosystem. CAL was thriving at the start, with a lot of activity and player interest. With time, the interest in CS:GO in Asia has seen a significant decline. To be completely honest, our own interests have shifted elsewhere as well. It's still sad to end support for something that we've been working on for so long. In esports, four years is a long time. -dsn
CAL has turned four years old. When I think about it, it’s absolutely insane; who would have believed we’d get this far? So, instead of lamenting the current situation of CAL and CS:GO in Asia, let’s go back in time and take a trip down memory lane. -dsn
We're back with our monthly update article, where we keep you up to date on everything CAL and the state of CS:GO in Asia (hint: it's not great). The 45th season of CAL was a slow one, with little activity across our divisions. The only active division was India Division 2. -dsn
We launched our new initiative with FACEIT and Gamers Without Borders in May, bringing you three community tournaments with prizes to compete for! So far, two tournaments (21-22 May and 28-29 May) have been held, the first on Mumbai servers and the second on Singapore servers. In both tournaments, the same team, NEXGA, was victorious. -dsn
Naturally, good news about CAL would be welcome; perhaps a new partner for the coming season, increased activity in the hub, and a resurgence of sorts for CS:GO in Asia. Unfortunately, we're still heading down the same path, with decent to healthy activity in our India divisions and no activity in our Southeast Asia divisions. The good news is that several positive things happening behind the scene. While we are still in the exploratory stage, we aim to have positive news for all of our subscribers and players by June. -dsn
Ever since we introduced our India divisions late last year, we’ve been positively surprised by the passion and determination of the South Asian CS:GO community. But more than anything it has warmed our hearts. That’s why we’ve decided to elevate our support for our India divisions starting next season. - dsn
