    @Hugh Really nice blog post. Any chance to also set it up as in-game menu news (http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/ingamenews/) ?

    Newcomer looks tempting. I wonder what level of players one would expect to see there though.

    I might finally try to get in on the newcomer tourny this year. Always been tempted but work always a pain to schedule around. Any body know what kind of time commitments there would be for newcomer tournament?

    Doesn't matter if you are new, a casual player for a long time or a pubhero, don't be afraid to just sign up and play for fun since that's what we all do.

    Fine, aright I filled out the sign up form, even made an account on nsl. No idea how further information (especially team assignments) will be disseminated though

    Just signed up too! Looking forward to some coordinated team play and meeting some new NS2 folks. I created an ensl.org account, but it wont let me login yet (I assume someone has to approve it or something before I can login and join a team).

    I had that problem too with no error messages. I would login and it would just flash and return me to exactly the same page with the same login prompt. Tried a different browser (firefox) and got it to work.

    You can attend the training sessions on wednesday and sunday night where you can find other players to make a team with. You can check page 4 of the help document for detailed info regarding that.
    Or you can make a topic at http://www.ensl.org/forums/25 to find a team / players for a team, the sticky there gives an explanation how that works.

    I'm using Chrome (v44.0.2403.157) and it says all cookies are being accepted (non blocked). I used Microsoft Edge (IE replacement with Win10) and I could login OK. Please let me know if you want anymore info. For now I'll just use Edge.

    Great to see interest in competitive is still strong! So far we have a lot of individual signups (about 45-50 right now), and we're going to begin to sort them into teams soon. Remember that you can make your own teams and sign up with a fully premade team, or individually and we'll sort you (though you can request to be with other specific players). If you've ever wanted to try 6v6 in NS2, now's your chance! It's a nice low-pressure introduction into it, and should be a lot of fun!
