Do I need a complete team?
No, you don’t! Everyone can register. It doesn’t matter if you register only yourself, with a few friends or a complete team.
During trainings we will give you the opportunity to find other single players. Also we have an infrastructure in place, in which you can actively search for a team or complement your roster.
Even if you don’t find a team until matchday we have some ideas, how you can participate.
Who can register?
All players, who have not played in any of the Natural Selection Leagues (NSL/AusNSL) can participate.
If you have played only a partial season, you may still be able to participate. Just contact us (see below).
Where do I register?
Registration is run by the ensl.org homepage. This video explains the process. It is also the page, where you can find teams, players and your results. See our Help-Document for more information!
You mentioned training?
Indeed! Going from pub-play to competitive is a big step and there are several important changes to watch out for.
To make the transition easier, we offer you to play 6v6 supervised by experienced players. They offer you valuable feedback and explain how to improve your game personally and in a team. And of course you get to have fun playing some NS2!
Afterwards you can stay for more personalized training or find teammates.
Trainings will be offered each Wednesday and Sunday at 21 CET / 20 GMT / 3 PM EST on the TAW-Teamspeak-Server. See the Help-Document for even more information!

Maybe you should make a time limit. Some people have a big number of hours spent on NS2 but aren't interested by competition.
To mess around. Murhy's law...

Sign ups are also open:

It depends how much you have played in the NSL before, as the tournament aims at bringing new players to competitive.
The question is: Have you played in a team an entire season in the NSL before?
That is there we make the cut to keep things simple. If you have played only parts of a season we can think about it and decide on a case to case basis.
If teh decision falls against you, I'd still keep my eyes open, since there is also another tournament upcoming in mid of February, with less restrictions, but also aiming on the lower-skill-levels.
No, there is no time-limit, we thought about adding one, but it would have been too much hustle and people could have circumvented that anyways.
Remember, that this is not your usual pub-plays, so "messing around" requires a team you can join, which accepts your messing around. The chances are for that are quite slim, unless you can find a complete team of trolls. In that case however that team will be not allowed, as soon as we notice.
So shameless bump!
More teams always welcome.
And a "good luck" from Jiriki means a lot.
