NSL Season 5 Playoffs Have Begun

Deepest apologies for not posting in the last month. Rumors of the demise of NS2 and the NSL have been greatly exaggerated. The Community Development Team is still working diligently to push out the next patch. ETA: soon. For us, regular season matches have steadily been played, more or less according to schedule, and we're wrapping up the regular season. The playoff pages have been created and matches are ready to be scheduled and played. Other than the Premier division, there isn't a foreseeable delay in the other divisions to conclude the season. The vast majority of teams did an amazing job this season scheduling and playing their matches in a timely manner. Good job to all the team schedulers. This isn't an easy task. Huge thanks to Division 3 and 4, who were so eager to complete their matches.

Also be on the look out in the coming days/weeks, for forum threads to discuss some of the future options of the NSL in regard to format. We've got some talented people working on things and it might be exciting.

PLAYOFFS

With the top 4 teams in each division advancing to the playoffs, the Semifinals start now! The format will be a best of 5 match with the higher seeded team earning the right to choose side (marines or aliens) or map first. Normal best of x rounds procedures apply afterward. The Finals are best of 7 matches with the same procedure. Good luck, teams!

If you're interested and missed the first playoff match of the season: Schwa casting the Division 1 Semifinal match with Gnarcolepsy Lite vs Over.Extension.

Here are the brackets also:

Premier Division

Division 1

Division 2

Division 3

Division 4

If it's not possible to play a match within a timely fashion or you have trouble scheduling a match, please contact me through Steam or PM. Just like the rest of the season, the schedule will be pretty flexible.

 

For other NS2 action, although it's too late to sign up for the next incarnation of the AusNS2 Draft Tournament, be on the look out for matches to be casted this weekend and next on December 7th and 14th.
