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.

We’re not going to lie, the start of the year for CAL has been slow. And since it’s been a slow start, we don’t have exciting things to write about.

Our Southeast Asian divisions are continuing to experience a lack of activity. Unfortunately, it appears that the current cash prizes are insufficient to attract participants to show up and grind. As former players, we recognize that putting in the effort is more enjoyable when the returns are larger.

e 40th season of CAL was relatively quiet, at least in our Southeast Asian divisions, which saw little to no activity during the month. This comes as no surprise to us; after five months of intense competition with more appealing leaderboard prizes, we’ve returned to where we were half a year ago, with cash and FACEIT points for our top achievers.

Two of esports’ biggest tournament and league operators, ESL and FACEIT, have been acquired for reportedly a combined value of US$1.5 billion by Savvy Gaming Group, which is backed by the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund.
