How do seeding matches work, and how do you set one up. So far I have messaged unseeded teams and asked for a seeding match, not sure if thats what you do but yea. I would like to know how to set one up and play one. Its basically like GameBattles right? lol... GameBattles.

Not correct. As an unseeded team you should contact teams that are already seeded and ask them for a seeding match. These matches consist of 2 maps of 4 rounds, like normal group games of the season. You should try to estimate your own skill level and try to find opponents you can play equal with or win against. At this moment, there are 11 seeded teams for the NA region.

Seeding matches are used to determine the rank of new ENSL teams in relation to the current ones participating in season 2. Those rankings determine which division you will play in, if more than one division is needed (e.g. it looks like S2 is being split into 16 team divisions, so if you are ranked 1-16, you'll be in D1, 17-32 = D2, etc). The intent is to group teams of comparable skill level so as to provide the best experience to all of the team involved (e.g. minimize the number of stomps).

If I remember it correctly, the deadline for seeding matches for S2 was today. However, my understanding is if you don't play any seeded matches, the ENSL admins will just use their discretion to put you in the proper division (in most cases that means the lowest division).
