It’s back! The first season which took a break during TWC 2016 has restarted. We saw G3X win the South American League and we continue with the storyline in the European League. Shortly after there North American and South East Asian leagues will start with open qualifiers so make sure you keep updated with us.

What is RSL?

RSL is a grass-roots league with half of the slots given through open qualifiers. This means that teams without much experience of tournament play have an opportunity to take part in a long-term league that offers consistent games, broadcasted live on Twitch, as well some financial stability with teams being paid a joining-fee regardless of their rank at the end of the season.

It is what we hope will develop into a staple tier2–4 CS:GO league for both teams and viewers. Uniquely all matches are broadcast live in studio with our broadcasting team, offering a solid level of production value, replays, call ins and an entertaining high quality show. We believe that is truly lacking for coverage of this tier of CS in the community and hope RSL will raise the bar in the regard.

With over $64,000 in prize money and four regional leagues, The Razer Rising Stars League will be a hunting ground for viewers looking to find CS:GOs future stars. We’ll see you live on twitch.tv/efragtv.
