Interested in starting up a US league system

<div class="IPBDescription">need people, input, and discussion</div><b>Background?</b>

My in-game name is LanternX. I've been an avid Natural Selection 1 player since its prime during the 3.0+ days. In the past I was part of: NSBox, Team C4, Penguin. I have been actively playing the NS2 beta, and I feel it's stable enough to warrant such a discussion on creating this dream. Currently, I am the co-owner and event manager of the team/community: <a href="http://www.omgyumyum.com" target="_blank">OMGYUMYUM</a>. We host tournaments related to League of Legends, Starcraft 2, and now we would like to venture into possible opportunities with Natural Selection 2.

<b>What I want to do for NS2?</b>

There hasn't been a stable USA league system for NS since CAL (Cyber Athletic Amateur League).

To put it simply, I would like to fix that.

A basic outline of what we would like to put in:

Set day for matches between teams
Replay system for verifying matches
16 week schedule
Divisions separated by number of teams
Of course this will require an number of people to help and manage.

The dream is to have this grow almost as big as IPL or MLG and promote NS2 for the long road.. but we can't get there without some input and support.

    There's only 4 active/semi-active teams, and we know where half of them place already. If I were you I'd come back in a few months and see if this game actually goes anywhere before wasting time on it.

    Bad FPS, bad tickrate and bad interpolation will keep this game out of esports until it's fixed. It's getting better every patch but nowhere near where it needs to be.

    Fixed for you.

    But on the bright side this game has massive potential to be a good spectator game, its got all the makings of it, it just needs some optimization and a lot of balancing.

    I'd like to see some nightcups organized via your site but a league is too early. Cups would get people interested to form teams and see how it goes for them, I'd be up for it :>

    Nightcups seems good at the moment. Because this community needs some kind of competation.

    I agree that we need more competition, but in the form of more teams. Playing a NC with 5-6~ teams is going to be really boring and predictable.
    Nadyli is trying to get a NC together now at ensl which was just announced. NC's can probably generate a few mix-teams, but since it's only 4 days until it starts I don't think there will be any.

    Hmm. I understand. A few months it is. But, we will look into simple tournaments with nightcups for now. Something is better nothing for the US people.
