Some news for all of you. I was on the phone last night with 2 of my current sponsors to talk to them about the NESC2League and my plans for the semi-pro league. I have a meeting with one of them next week, but gave them a quick synopsis. The other company, Cooler Master, is set to continue sponsorship for season 3 and is interested in maintaining support for the semi-pro league when that happens.

I love sponsors

It's ironic you post here today. I had a quick chat with the Kingston Hyper X representative last night, He just got back from a business trip to Europe, so I'll be talking with him later in the week, and I still have a meeting with NZXT next week. But just from tones, it looks like all 3 of them will be on board to support a NA league in some way or another.

Just 2 things that I'm really happy about that can only get better.

1. I have a business meeting with Kingston to talk about the semi-pro league in depth. They have already stated their wish to work with me more regarding the NESC2League for season 3

2. Gretorp may be a full or part time caster for the US West group, or as he put it "I'm down!"

I need more casters, oh wait! I have the US Northeast all set for casters as well. So I guess that's 3.

Still need more casters and admins and producers though.

I have a quick little update for you all. based on the voting and a better understanding of where the gaming population of Canada resides, I have modified the regions to try and better balance out everything, as well as make more sense of the regions. I've included maps below to give a visual of the new borders of each region. I also included the map I used to determine the US regions.
I changed the names of regions to Northwest Mountain, Northern Prairies, Ontario, and Quebec and Maritimes.
here is how those regions are now split up.
Northwest Mountain+ Show Spoiler +
Alaska, Yukon, Alberta, Northwest Territory, British Columbia

Quebec and Maritimes+ Show Spoiler +
Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., Newfoundland, Labrador

Ontario+ Show Spoiler +
Ontario

Northern Prairies+ Show Spoiler +
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavet

This map is from the US Census Bureau

Also, later on toady I have business meeting with both Kingston Technologies and NZXT. If all goes well with both companies, you can expect to see the entry fee drop, while we even out the prize pool a little. It may also lead to incentive prizes.

And as always, I am still looking for community members to help cast tournaments, run tournaments, and produce the tournaments. That is 4 separate positions for each region. SO, if you ever wanted to get into e-Sports, this is your chance. Just email me at Drogith@nesc2league.com

There was one in Storrs a few months back. Though that is closer to central CT I think. NESC2League Grand Finals. You should look it up, season 3 is starting in January.

We won't be starting this until the end of spring/start of summer, so there is a bit of separation from the team league that is starting. Just too many logistics to get in place to kick this off in a month or two and do it right IMO.

Yes sir, I do. "Drogith" and I'm the only one. If you shoot me a message, I'll be able to get back to you when I get home from work.

In news pertaining to what I mentioned earlier about my business meetings. I just got off the phone with Kingston and they are very happy to support the semi-pro league. We are within they're budget, but I just have to take care of the more formal business stuff to make it official. I'll be chatting with NZXT later tonight and it looks like I may be able to enter negotiations with MSI and Galaxy Tech as well. But that one is about a month out.

And the last update of the day; I just got off the phone with NZXT. They are interested in it as well, but again, must go through the official business paperwork.

After talking with all of the current sponsors for the NESC2League and seeing them excited and very interested about transferring sponsorship to the semi-pro league, I can only smile from ear to ear. But there is still a lot of work to do on my part, and maybe a little bit of yours. If anyone has any questions or wants to help out with the casting, producing, or administrating of these tournaments, don't hesitate to apply.

I've passed this thread on to some people who may be interested in casting/organizing. I'll have them contact you directly if they are interested.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

Thanks Psy. I have some presentations to put together and two more sponsors to speak to next month. If these 2 go through, the whole semi-pro league will be free entry, not reduced price.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend. Watch out for New Year's!

i feel like US South is a bit large compared to some of the other groups, particularly the US NorthEast group...maybe change them around like take a state from south and give it to ne?

other than that this seems good (though i wish there were a few opens that didnt cost money to enter but had a smaller prize for those who dont really have $15 to spare to enter a tournament)

If you need any help with your presentations/ want anything done for you, I'd love to help; feel free to ask me. I'm willing to put 200% effort into anything you want me to do, even if it's the smallest of things! I wanna see this succeed and for this to hit the ground running :D
