Premier is being removed to try and make the lower leagues more competitive. The Premier division has been in CAL since around season 11 or 12 and was a good stepping stone for the teams trying to compete to get into Invite. Due to a decline in the number of teams and overall skill level in the lower leagues, the division is going to be removed for now and every season following it will be debated on being added back in.
I would like to thank all the teams that have competed in this division since being added and hopefully we will be able to use it once again.
finally Us calm teams can get the recognition we deserve
it's been around since season 9...i wasn't even around then and i know that (don't know why, i just do...i don't even play anymore :X), so who's the tool who wrote that
CAL was the best seasons 2 through 7. No one cared about making money in this game, everyone wanted to do well to be known in the community. Now it's all about money and no one cares about just competing for fun.
I guess I shouldn't group everyone together. Most open and IM teams play for fun. I guess I mean the higher tier teams CAL-m and above. 99% of those teams are never going to make money off this game. So why should they care if a league offers no money?
CAL never offered money to winners of CAL-m or CAL-I and everyone took it very seriously and it was very competitive. Within the last few years no one wanted to take it seriously because there was no cash prize... Why? Makes no sense.
Almost everyone who plays this game has a job, and anything you can make playing CS is a bonus.

There has never been money in CAL. Your point?
