Hey everyone!

GISP, one of our assets in NS2 community, playtester and NS2 forum moderator, is hosting a newbie tournament live in Copenhagen Games this week. Therefore, he received 200 free keys for new players to test out from Unknown Worlds at the LAN event and will host a on-the-fly tournament at the 16th April - all with players who never played NS2 so far. And there is even a small money prize pool for the winners on it.

To get a bit attention, it would be awesome to get these games casted and henceforth we'd need casters who have some free time tomorrow starting up from approx. 16:00 CEST. There is an info board in the forums for casters/refs who want to help out. Volunteers highly appreciated!

Remember, these games will be far from what we are used to see when we watch competvitive games - but hell, they might also be refreshing to watch and probably fun. Turret farms, gorge rushes, walker fades and in circle running onos - let's see how first time NS2ers play our beloved game. And of course, this is also a nice opportunity to spread the word a bit how much fun NS2 can be when played as organized 6v6 format.

We'll try to update links as soon as some casters signed up and will post the VODs afterwards as well. Due to the nature of this event, the format isn't decided until all teams (up to 8 max) are signed up during the LAN, so there is unfortunetaly no detailled time table available yet. All we know from now is that it will start around 16:00 CEST tomorrow and might end that day or carried on until 17th for the final games.

Simba renamed 4 of the NSL servers from EU to "Copenhagen Games #x", so be aware that those servers are reserved up to that point and will be renamed to their former names right after. The remaining NSL servers should be sufficient for the few matches and some PCWs during those 2 days.
