Signups closed!

ENSL is proud to present the first season of NSL!

  • We decided to break the competition into 3 leagues, one for each regional areas from where the teams originate. 
  • This gives us a European League, a North American League and an Australian League. 
  • Teams from other regional areas have been placed in the nearest possible League and will have to use the same rules and match times.


A new ruleset is available since ENSL is switching to Natural Selection 2.


The rules are divided into two parts:

  • The general ENSL rules which are meant to concern all ENSL contests, including leagues and cups of all nature
  • The NS2 Season 1 rules which are specific to the upcoming Season.
  • Make sure your entire team reads and understands the rules. 
  • If you have any question about the rules, please contact the admins.
  • Casters and Referees need to read the rules too.
  • The rules should always be your first go-to knowledge-base before contacting admins.


Many teams have requested that we split the Leagues into skill-based Divisions.
Without seeding a lot of the teams, this have been one of the hardest task for us.
Without any doubts, this first Season is quite unpredictable.
Please note that all Division winners will get mentioned in the Hall of Fame of the ENSL.

If you feel like you have been misplaced either in a Division too high or too low, feel free to PM swalk on the site. If you can show us that you have any practice match results(screenshots, or confirmation from opposing team), against other NS2 teams which should help us put you in the right Division, please do so.

Default times

  • Europe teams will play at 20:00 CET
  • NA teams will play at 17:00 PST, 18:00 MST, 19:00 CST, 20:00 EST.
  • Australia teams will play at 18:00 AEST
  • The default day is usually Sunday.
  • These can be rescheduled (read rules)


PLEASE NOTE, NA TEAMS 

Since Sunday is Thanksgiving in the US, we decided to move the first week of the US League to Saturday 24th instead.

We also changed the default times for US, because of many requests! Hope its better!

 

IMPORTANT

  • The league is closed for team signups. 
  • However, some of you are still missing players on your rosters on the site. 
  • You will have time until Friday, 20.00 CET (Central European Time) to fix this.
  • If you do not have at least 6 players on your team by this time, we will remove your team from the season.
  • Leagues, Divisions and their Admins have been published.
  • If you have any problem please try to contact your Division Admin(s) or the League Admin swalk. 
  • If you can't reach any of them, you can see with the other admins of the ENSL.

From the rules: "The top 4 teams of each division will then make it into a Best-Of-3 bracket."

I assume that should say "the top 2 teams of each group will then make it into a BO3 bracket for each division" instead.

As mentioned before - you can replay matches during the week or later. I don't see any issues with that. Also, there will be at least one clean-up week in the end of the seasons followed by finals.
