Like most here in NA, I was super excited about the announcement of NADCL by Mr. Dager. I believe it will build the scene ever further and allow some great players to get some real exposure. I hope we will also see some great amateur casters get exposure as well. And what better way to hone your skills for NADCL (player or caster) then to participate in another amateur league, Captains Draft League (CDL)!
Captains Draft League is an amateur league that is open to players of all skill levels using the Captains Draft game mode. The league will start right after TI, August 26th, and end the first week of October. We had a highly successful Season 1 and hope to grow things here for Season 2. Signups are open now!
