Season 10 deadline extended!

New to the ENSL?

Welcome to the Natural Selection League. If you’re looking for getting more out of your Natural Selection 2 experience, look no further. Power plays, crackpot strats, and the greatest competitive minds of Natural Selection 2 converge here to duke it out on the battlefield. Talk strategy, metagame, and high-level concept Natural Selection 2 on our forums, or enjoy a gather and fight to the top of the food chain. If you’re looking for more information, check the bottom of this post.

Any questions can be directed to our help desk or by messaging an admin on ENSL, Steam, by email or Discord. A full list of current admins can be found here.

Deadlines

Brace yourselves, Season 10 is upon us! But.. we will be extended the deadlines for signups for two weeks. The signup deadline for Season 10 is now October 13th. We want the potential to seed a lower division as high as possible, with the intent of more and better matches. A reminder to sign-up if you haven’t already, as time is ticking!

For all new players, you need a team of at least six players to compete in Season 10, please read the final section of this post on how to create or join teams.

Gathers

Gathers have picked up steam and are running again. You can join a gather by registering an account and joining up here. Joining is easy, and practice can come in handy for the upcoming Season 10. Be sure to play more rounds to familiarize (or refamiliarize yourself on Mesh (formerly Docking2), Nexus, and Mineral, as these custom maps are staples of an ENSL season, and some have changed for the new Season.

Map Tests

Some of our mappers have come forward concerning high-level gathers on ns2_ayumi, a reimagining of the Natural Selection 3.0 map of the same name. Huge changes have happened recently with the map concerning balance, and feedback is necessary. Contact Kasharic or Mephilles for more information. If you have another map you’d like to see played in gathers, contact an admin.

Joining the ENSL

If you don't have a team or have yet to join the ENSL, it's easy to create an account or team with the following steps. If you want to register a pre-existing team, skip to step 4.

  1. To create a team, register an account and create a new team! Creating a team is not necessary, nor is joining a team. If you’re looking to join a team, find a team and select the Request to Join button on their page. You’re free to use the ENSL website without any pressure from any teams.

  2. Get your players to register and tell them to Join your team in their Agenda, which you can find at the top of the page! You can meet players in-game, in ENSL gathers, or on the ENSL or Unknown Worlds forums. As per usual ENSL rules, you must have at least six players for a valid Season 10 team!

  3. To accept your players on the team, go to Agenda → Click your team name → Edit and scroll down → Members → Change their status from Joining to Member, Leader, or Deputy. These roles can define what a player is to your team.

  4. To join the tournament, go to Agenda → Click your team name → Edit (scroll down) → Contests → Join Season 10 Signups. This will reserve your space in the upcoming Season 10. Get ready to rock!

  5. Verify that your team name exists on the Contest page. If your team does not appear here, please follow these steps again. If all else fails, contact an admin.

The problem is I do not think new players will read this or the UWE forums. :/ There should definitely be an ingame news if possible.

You guys do realise that UWE thinks that both the competitive and ensl scene is toxic to them? Just look how they bann people on their forum for having general discussions..

This is going to be the UWE post. That is why it was put up here. Thats also why i extended the deadline. I wanted an official UWE post.

Yeah. I've contacted Wasabi about it. He got back to me before saying that he could do it. This post is obviously aimed at new-to-competitive scene people, so I'm hopeful that we can hook them. I've asked for them to retweet it, as well.

I really want to do a NCT, I think that'd be awesome, but I think starting the season is the best call right now. Don't want to bore you guys to death. Plus the last attempted NCT was a disaster.

Also, ryssk, calling the developers "pieces of shit" to their face is probably not the best way to make general discussions.

If this is going to be the UWE post, then I call on everybody to pretend to be nice in this thread. Tuck your shirt in, smile and post a picture of yourself petting a kitten or something.

Just don't be youselves.

Let me guess, it will be posted on The 12:th October at their site?

Sowwy for thi negative attitude but after several seasons and several occasiations ive heard The "we're gonna work with UWE" is kinda like politics.. You just get tired of the small talks and nothing happening :)

Well thats why i got zavaro here. Because i trust in his ability to communicate UWE and because he has access to all the dev channels.

ryssk the problem is with posts like that or the post you made on UWE forums that new people get a bad impression of comp play. You try to fire at UWE but you hit the comp scene.

I'm going to do everything in my power to get more players in the season. Please put the napkin in your lap and use your forks correctly.

Also ryssk, I deleted your post on the forums, because it was immediately shitflinging. I didn't warn you, but I'm telling you straight. No bullshit right now, mang.

Also, Wasabi is in the process of writing a post right as we speak, and Rant is making some sweet graphics for us. Sweeeet.

You know, regardless of how they executed past plans... there are plenty in the PDT who do not want the comp scene to die either.
Im happy for any glimmer of hope we can get
