Quick update for NS2BNC!
Hello all!
Quick update about the cup: Sign-ups are closing soon (about 6 more hours) and we have only 5 teams signed up. Because of this all the matches will be played on Saturday. Currently teams participating are: Archaea, duplex, exertus, FINNSTACK and Nexzil. Also, NS2HD has offered to stream some of the matches and I will provide you easy access to his stream from our site or this forum post.
Quick links: Brackets and NS2HD stream
Here is the current schedule for the matches:
Saturday:
Round 1 (ns2_summit)
9:00 PST | 12:00 EST | 17:00 UTC | 18:00 CET - Exertus vs duplex 2-0 (Game 1) (cast by NS2HD)
Round 2 (ns2_veil)
10:00 PST | 13:00 EST | 18:00 UTC | 19:00 CET - Archaea vs exertus 2-0 (Game 2) (cast by NS2HD)
10:00 PST | 13:00 EST | 18:00 UTC | 19:00 CET - Nexzil vs FINNSTACK 2-0 (Game 3) (cast by blind)
The Final (ns2_summit, ns2_veil and ns2_tram)
11:00 PST | 14:00 EST | 19:00 UTC | 20:00 CET - Archaea vs Nexzil 1-3 (cast by NS2HD)
Please remember that some of the matches might be delayed because of the unpredictable nature of the game.
Friendly reminder about the rules:
- matches will be played 6v6
- the upper team on brackets gets to play marines first (eg. game1 that would be exertus)
- all marines rounds will be played on a server that has advantage to marines (or in case EU vs EU what server suits both teams, no nonsense here please)
- best of 3 (rounds*) before finals
- if there's a draw after first 2 rounds, coin flip** will decide who gets to play what side
- best of 5 (rounds) finals
- if your team can't field 6 players for the match you may use up to 2 mercs (they need to have "merc" in their in-game nick)
* Do not confuse rounds (alien or marine sides played) with rounds (all the games in specific time period)
** Coin flip will be either admin or caster running into random team. The lower team on brackets will play that side.
For any questions, problems or suggestions please open up a new thread on the forums or contact me directly through steam or IRC (#ensl @ QuakeNet/nadyli). If you're new to IRC there are lot of client options, but I recommend these 2: mIRC or use your browser with webchat.
Yours,
the ENSL Staff

Since duplex has exactly 4 Players signed up so far .. u might want to choose not to have them in the first game .. maybe switch them with Archea !

We have more players, they're just not listed here on ENSL.
Still, round robin.

Well you might want them to SIgnUp cause if i am not mistaken the System will make you type the Merc thingy all the time and stuff .. Making them Join so much EASIER !

This cup is currently more of a proof of concept that NS2 scene can have tournaments/cups in the future. Last one had serious lack of teams even with three weeks notice so we're just checking if the teams are getting active again after summer. The next one will be much better and ran properly with double elimination or round robin. Please go comment on the feedback thread what you want from the next cup/tournament.
