We will be having 3 different meetings tomorrow (April 18th) to cover questions that anyone may have and go over information. We'll be meeting on the ENSL.org TeamSpeak server. The first meeting will be for EU teams at 19:00 CEST. The second meeting will be for casters and refs at 5:00PM PDT/8:00PM EDT. The third meeting will be for NA/SA teams at 7:00PM PDT/ 10:00PM EDT. We'll try to make it as brief as possible. If you cannot make these times, you can always contact us through nexzilprovinggrounds@gmail.com or on steam.

Hey! Here is a small rule clarification which I've been asked a few times on steam:
For NA vs EU it will be handled in the same setup as the ENSL matchup. Marine team is favored the ping advantage, so for this event try to utilize a NY/east coast server and UK servers for EU.
In the event of EU vs SA(south america) you will be utilizing an American server. This will hopefully provide for a better experience then the alternative of fighting 300ms pings for SA to EU and vice versa. It will be the first attempt at combining the two continents so hopefully it'll work out
All teams please make sure to check in to chat as early as possible so we can coordinate today. Also, check your scores to make sure everything is accurate so far!
We're still missing rescheduling info on a handful of games. Please work with the other teams to get a time as soon as possible.
Last weekend was a giant success! Logistics were a bit of a hurricane, but I think that's something we can improve upon in future tournaments. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. I made a bracket for the top 12 teams that will competing in the single-elimination tournament. I may not use the website to keep score, but so everyone has a reference to rounds/opponents here's the link: http://challonge.com/nexzilpg
The timetable for the weekend is as follows:
Best of 3
1st Round (Tram) - Saturday (April 27th) - 14:00 EDT / 11:00 PDT / 20:00 CEST
2nd Round (Descent) - Saturday (April 27th) - 15:00 EDT / 12:00 PDT / 21:00 CEST
Best of 5
Semi-Finals (Summit, Veil) - Saturday (April 27th) - 16:00 EDT / 13:00 PDT / 22:00 CEST
Best of 7
Finals (Tram, Descent, Summit) - Sunday (April 28th) - 14:00 EDT / 11:00 PDT / 20:00 CEST
Important to note, these are the times that teams are expect to be ready. Especially the first day, we are under a very strict schedule. What this means for teams is that if you do not have the necessary numbers to field a team at these times, you will forfeit if you are not ready to play. If you require mercs, it's best to find them before hand and possibly extra in case the ones you choose are not accepted by the other team(s). Due to the nature of the bracket, no rescheduling is allowed.
Keep in mind that times may be delayed due to long matches. Teams will be given a 15 minute break after a match (not between rounds) should they require it. Also, no team will be required to start matches before the assigned times for the rounds. Meaning that if a match in the 1st Round ends in 25 minutes, teams will not be required to play until 15:00 EDT.
You'll notice that rounds have been assigned a map rotation. Two rounds will be played on each map with higher seeds being allowed choice of side for first round and then, should a tie breaker round be required, a coin-flip will be used; winner of the flip will pick side and loser of the flip will pick map. Important to note that all maps used the the tournament so far are allowed, even Mineshaft since it was played the first weekend.
I wrote this in a bit of a hurry so I may have left out details that teams may require, don't hesitate to contact Bitey of myself regarding any questions you have or send an email to nexzilprovinggrounds@gmail.com
