ORIGINAL NEWSPOST ON ENSL.ORG

What's happening?! Another news after a week only, you must be kidding me. Anyway, here is a short article: enjoy!

FEEDBACKS

One would say anyone's word is pointless, another would show that everyone is welcome to share their thoughts about what is going on right now and what is planned for off-season. As we write this the season reaches its final weeks before the playoffs. So we opened a couple of threads on the forums asking for your opinion and your feedback to fight off a lack of activity during summer time. We are preparing some of our ideas already over in these threads:

Skulks With Shotguns

What is this? Probably the most amazing mod ever made on NS2 (no joke). Since it would be our first event on such a different format, we need your thoughts about it. How can we make it happen? What mode inside this mod suits best for a tourney (capture the gorge?)? And how should the teams be composed (5 vs. 5?)? Streaming and playing SwS is going to be so good!

Nations Cup

Yes, the last one was a terrible fail. We all know France would have won anyway. But still we want to give this format another chance. If there is enough interest. We need players to take over teams and hold their countrie's flag high. When we reach a total of 8 teams at least, it will occur. Otherwise, the staff will focus its energy on preparing other events. Feel free to check the forums on the previous link for more information.

Draft Tournaments

Do I really need to explain you what a draft tournament implies? Basically it is 6 vs. 6 matches with Captains picking from a pool of signed up players. Captains will be provided by a sheet with as much information as possible for forming their team. Of course, the best team wins. Watch out and enjoy, as you play in a team, with people you might have never played before. But first off Captains are required. Again you can check on this in the forums. It is open to everyone and the first of this will be hold during EU evenings.

Nordic

I would love to see a skulks with shotguns tournament. 5v5 would probably be best, although a minimum of 3v3 would work. Capture the gorge would be best. If I could find the time, I would even like to participate in some way.
