TikTok and esports collide in the first-ever TikTok Cup for college gamers.

Today, North America’s largest collegiate esports league, Collegiate StarLeague (CSL), announced a partnership with leading short-form video platform TikTok to create a brand new esports event, the TikTok Cup. Collegiate players will have the opportunity to compete online across four popular titles, earning their share of the $60K in prize money to support education expenses; that will be split amongst the winners. In addition, by submitting their gaming TikTok videos to the #TikTokCupContest, any college student can nab even more prizes!
