Tournament of Champions
From both Varsity Premier and Open Premier, the champion and runner-up teams below will advance to our Tournament of Champions at the CECC's May Madness weekend in Arlington, Texas from May 1-4, 2025.
The competition will take place in two distinct stages: a “GSL” double elimination Group stage and a single elimination Playoffs stage. The event will feature $18,000 in additional scholarship prizing, and travel stipends will be available for all participating teams ($250 for every player on the starting roster).
Further details to be shared during the upcoming season via Discord & social media. Champion and runner-up teams from the Spring 2025 Premier divisions will also qualify for the Tournament of Champions, so make sure to register for your chance to advance!
