Support us

Hello, it is great to see you here!

We are thankful that you even came to visit this page it truly means a lot to us. The best way to support the league is by being part of it! So you are probably already doing us a great service :). Still, if you would like to support us in other ways you are, of course, more than welcome to do so and support of any kind is always greatly appreciated. If you would like to:

  • Dedicate some of your time to us and get more involved (e.g., team admining, casting, coding, volunteering, etc), contact a member of the staff.
  • If you would like to give us feedback or just say thank you, use the feedback form under your profile settings.
  • If you would like to support us financially, see below for methods how you can do that and what your funds will be used for.
If you got to here, that is already a huge commitment, again, most sincere gratitude! If you would like to support the league in general, the best way to do that is to use the ko-fi link below. It is like Patreon (monthly subscriptions) but also like Paypal (one-time donations), we use it because it takes a smaller cut than other platforms :).

If you would like to support me (y2kid), my questionable dev efforts (one of which is that very web-app), and the other developers (Once they come, hopefully) you can do that by using the ko-fi link below. Unfortunately, running the web app does have its maintenance costs and finding the time to develop it is difficult considering I have to juggle that with my full-time job, part-time job, hobbies, Brood War (yep that is a topic of its own ^^), and social life. So, if you like my work and would like to say thank you for running the app so far, that would be greatly appreciated :). Although, keep in mind that CPL and access to the web-app are and WILL remain completely free!


However, if you are truly dedicated and would still like to support me, you legend, use the link below and thank you in advance!

I would like to personally thank all the current and previous CPL staff members for running the league so far and making everything stays together, you people are amazing! Special thanks to Snipe, who has been organizing all previous seasons of the CPL and who is a staple to the community already. Special thanks also to Stromkarlen, who has been one of the reasons why I stuck around for so long, got involved in staff duties, and eventually agreed on making the web app. Thank you Strom, for pushing me to do more and inviting me to participate on that level in this event.


Shout-out to ash-Return and dada78641 as well for being so rigorous team admins! Return has helped running the league for such a long time and deserves way more credit than he has received so far! Dada has been involved with automating parts of the league, being my personal guinea pig and QA for the most bleeding edge web app features and being a trully great friend.


A big thank you to all of our past, current, and future casters as well! You people are making sure the word gets spread. You are making sure the legacy and records of CPL stay in the history and never die! Of course, no thanks to the casters is enough without mentioning the iconic CPL duo Not Lemon and SaetZero, the already veteran caster Cold_Warpgates and the RSL casting star scimo__.


Special thanks to SpeciaLisT as well for spending SO MUCH time looking at the app before the CPL 8 roll-out giving me all league related insights that I needed to make the app and constantly giving me feedback on what works, what looks good, and what needs improving! Thank you, SpeciaList, without you the web app would likely not have seen any deployment not for CPL8, probably not for 9, and maybe even 10! Being there as someone I could talk to all the time has been incredibly helpful, most of all thanks for being a great friend :).


Big shout-out to the current and past dev team as well, not gonna name all of them but Ashen, Awerti, Statues, Valar and others. Huge shout-outs to the CPL art team as well for making all greatly looking overlays, team logos, and all sorts of graphics (dada, balance, and others).


AN ENORMOUS thank you to Nerfingen who kindly donated us server space where we could host our web app. He has also been kind enough to help me with sys admining the instance, so thank you Nerfingen. You are the reason we now have the proper domainname are able to store all player replays on our own servers ^^.


Last but not least, I would like to thank the whole community and all present, past, and future CPL players. Without you, there would not be any league. It is your dedication and commitment that are fueling our motivation to keep coming back season after season after season! We would like to think that we are doing better every next iteration but that is up to you to decide :). And, of course, I have definetely missed some names, if I missed yours, please do not get offended. I can probably write a book with everyone who has helped me and the league throughout these years but we have to start somewhere ^^. If I missed you tho, do know that it is not intentional and I (y2kid) take all the blame, accept my apologies and feel free to send me an angry message and I promise to do my best to add your name in as well!
