Choose the Superstar II

Choose the Superstar II (often abbreviated to CTS II) is the second game in the Choose the Superstar franchise. This game of CTS was held in 2011 and brought together 12 SCAW hopefuls from various forms of media in an (originally) 11 week competition to determine SCAW's next breakout star, due to the game being moved away from the forums this game went on until the end of fall. The winner would be awarded with a one year contract with the promotion, where in order to stay past the one year, would have to win a championship. The final three weeks of the competition known as "Special Rounds": Entrance Week, Moves Week and Story Week were abandoned this season due to the move away from the forums to Facebook. This season would be won by King.
