Were almost at the end of NSL season 1, and I think it have been a great success!
There are still a few matches missing to be played, those matches are:
Archaea vs Mercury
be BAGUETTE my friend vs The French Connexion
thirsty. vs Goðar

Actioneers vs HaN! BouLayZ TeaM
Astaria_Team vs Not Funny At All
Breakfast Klub vs SxySqdrnOFSsySsqtchs
Horizon vs DTPN
HeX vs -/AUS/-

Keep an eye out for them, they should all be interesting games!

First, I want thank everyone who participated in the season. Without you guys, this would not be possible! <3
Then I want to give a shoutout to a few people I personally think did an amazing job, and my reasonings for it:

huhuh, for doing amazing updates to the site at a fast pace, compared to his amount of spare time.
gamerkatze, for being the most active and helpful divison admin.
Elodea, for taking over the Australian divison admin position on very short notice after Arkanti's sudden leave.
xorex, for taking good care of the North American league, even if he had to be kicked in the butt sometimes ;)
bHack, for doing alot of problem solving and helping with starting and running the league.
Argosh, for being the most active referee of the season.
blind, GohanZeta, Talutha, Soleanthia and ArcLight for being the most active shoutcasters.
Unknown Worlds Entertainment/Hugh for trying to set up LAN events for the finals, and giving us gameservers.

As everyone probably know by now, UWE didn't succeed in getting a date that would fit with our finals for this season. This was due to the studios were filled with other events, but there might come another chance very soon!
We just got gameservers from all over the world given to us by UWE the other day. That should be a massive help for teams without a server. So those are ready for season 2, and other events. Now go thank them!

And of course, also a huge thank you to the rest of you referees, casters and admins!
This is a team effort, and would not be the same without any of you. All of you did a great job!

Now I want to congratulate all the division winners, and last but not least the champions of each league, you all get a spot in the Hall of Fame when the remaining deciding matches have been played!

We will continue to support the community with leagues, cups and gathers.
As seen in the previous newspost, the signups for the next cup are already open and alot of teams already signed up. Read more about it here.
The signups for season 2 will open on sunday, the 3rd of febuary, and we will make another newspost about that.

Hope all of you have enjoyed the first season, and will be back for the next one!
Please post your thoughts or feedback about the season in the comments.

In the meantime..

If any of you are looking to play even more, go to #ns2.search @ quakenet.org on IRC to find practice matches.
If you don't have an IRC client installed and don't wish to install one for some reason, you can use this link: http://ns2hub.com/scrim/ - it's a web based IRC client which connects you directly to #ns2.search and #ensl on quakenet.
IRC is already being used, but more people using it would make it better!
