Season 10 Update, or however many that is.

Deadlines!

The deadline for signing up Season 10 will be September 29th at 12 A.M. EDT. The season will officially start a few days later on October 1st. Hurry up and sign-up, manchildren well-adjusted individuals, so that we can figure out the logistics of it.

 

Divisions!

Currently we haven’t decided on if or how divisions will be (or can be) assigned given as the pool is still unable to be approximated based on our early signups. This probably won’t change until near the deadline for those. We’re currently aiming for at least two tiers of divisions, a high and low. Again, more news on that closer to the deadline.

 

Servers!

On the servers: Many of the former servers went offline and Tico’s Overwatch addiction kept him from trying to remedy the situation. Red, of House of Awesome, has been kind enough to help us out here, but we are still lacking in EU servers (..if you know anyone, hint hint. I might be able to swing one, though). We’re trying to aim for having a West Coast server for Aussies, and EU servers for S10.

 

Introducing... Schu and Raydiana!

In addition, we have a few new admins: Schu, our belligerent frontman (god bless him), is a new talking head that enjoys long walks on the beach and alcoholic beverages with (or without) lime. We also have Raydiana as our new lead caster, so please go to this guy if want to become a one. He’s bretty good.

 

Referees!

If any of the past referees are interested in coming back just send us a direct message or bother us (read: Tico) on Steam. This season will be the same as all other seasons. There won’t be anything new or exciting, unless you live in Syria, which sucks.

 

Balance!

We will be using Steelcap’s balance mod on the previous season’s (S9) map pool. If the mod for whatever reason goes down, we will continue the season without it.

 

Join Up!

If you don't have a team, it's easy to create one with the following steps. If you want to register a pre-existing team, skip to step 4. We will be using the Newcomer Tournament as an example.

  1. To create a team, register an account and go to Agenda -> Create a new team
  2. Get your players to register and tell them to Join your team in their Agenda.
  3. To accept your players on the team, go to Agenda -> Click your team name -> Edit (scroll down) -> Members -> Change their status from Joining to Member, Leader, or Deputy.
  4. To join the tournament, go to Agenda -> Click your team name -> Edit (scroll down) -> Contests -> Join Season 10 Signups
  5. Check the Contest page for your team name to see if you've done it correctly.

I just want to make it clear that the goal for this season will be to not have any div 1 talented teams in a lower division. We want to make sure everyone who joins the season can have fun and doesn't feel like people are trying to win a lower division with players that shouldn't be there. I can't say for sure we will be successful in doing so, but that is the goal. There will always be a higher end of a division so there might always be a team or so that is tough to beat in div 2 for example. This is the time to sign up!

yw, it's been an issue in the past so I just want to make sure people don't have to play the best players in the game if they are not on a div 1 team. I want to encourage fair/fun ns2 matches. This is a good time to experience why ns2 is a great game competitively if you haven't played on a team before. It's also a good time to get back into NS2 as we are balancing the game for comp play.

I disagree, the only to get the most enjoyment out of a game is you have to hate it. Its why i play dota, i dont play it because i like it. I play because i hate myself afterwards and then afterwards i realize is only game no reason to be mad.

@Zavaro by the time you actually need EU servers again, feel free to poke me again. Havent bothered keeping it updated atm as their where no real NSL games going. And seems @supafred also still got a NSL server up. So that are already 2 EU servers you possible have :)

I could easily run a second server on the machine, but unfortunately players still think there are better and worse servers out there...
Edit: i could run it under another players name xD
