SC - ASL

The SOOP StarCraft League (SSL), formerly the AfreecaTV StarCraft League (ASL) (Korean: 아프리카TV 스타리그), is a StarCraft: Remastered tournament series hosted by SOOP in South Korea. It began its first season in June 2016 and used StarCraft: Brood War for its first three seasons prior to the release of StarCraft: Remastered. It is broadcast regularly in Korean on SOOP. Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Nicolas "Tasteless" Plott provide English rebroadcasts on SOOP's YouTube channel.

In 2018 and 2019 it ran alongside Blizzard Entertainment's Korea StarCraft League (KSL) as one of the two top level Korean leagues for StarCraft: Remastered. On March 20, 2020, Blizzard discontinued the KSL tournament series, once again leaving the ASL as the only top level Korean league for StarCraft: Remastered.

On July 25, 2024, it rebranded to SOOP StarCraft League (SSL) to reflect the recent rebranding of AfreecaTV to SOOP. The naming format of the tournament also changed, with the first season under the SSL branding being SOOP StarCraft League 2024 AUTUMN, starting on August 26, 2024.
