The final winner of the 'SOOP Star College League', which has been held for nearly a month, will be determined.
SOOP announced on the 23rd that it will host the final of the 'SOOP Star University League' at the Sangam SOOP Coliseum in Sangam-dong, Seoul at 6 p.m. The league, which was held with a total prize of 60 million won, was held on a large scale with 13 star university crew and 300 streamers.

The "Star College League" is a league in which professional gamers and ordinary streamers compete in a team, and it is characterized by a structure in which professional players coach novice streamers in the role of "Chancellor" or "Professor". Based on a growth format in which the tier is subdivided, it has become a content that even users unfamiliar with 'Starcraft' can learn and participate in.
'Star University Daejeon' has expanded its participation every season, starting with the official league 'Squez-Star University' with eight teams in 2021. The tier, which was divided into four in the early days, is now subdivided from tier 1 to tier 8, and the addition of the 'Baby' tier for beginners and the 'Joker, King, and Jack' tier for professional gamers has increased game completeness and strategic diversity.
This season, the range of participating streamers has been greatly expanded, and various aspects of the game have been produced across generations and skills, according to SOOP. The emphasis on team-level cooperation and strategic play has attracted high attention from viewers throughout the season.
'StarCraft' is a game that has been steadily popular for 27 years, but it is known that the barrier to entry into new users is high due to the nature of high proficiency. 'Star University Daejeon' operates in a structure where novice users play directly and grow through coaching, and functions as a learning league that helps new inflows.
In addition, 'SOOP Star University League' has broken down barriers between generations beyond competition for skills and has established itself as a festive content enjoyed by users and streamers. It has been steadily popular, recording 10 million cumulative viewers last season, and this season, too, high interest from both users and streamers continues through the strengthening of the league's operating system.
