Team Builder

If you are a free agent or have a partial team and are looking to make a full team for NGL Cincinnati, DON'T WORRY! We will be having 2 sessions of "Team Builder" specifically for this situation. Team Builder will begin 30 minutes before the 2v2 event and 30 minutes before the 4v4 event.

In the mean time you can post in the Online Team Builder foum to let players know you are available.You can meet-up and match-up with other partial teams and free agents.

Free For All Event

All FFA Matches will be played on the MLG variant of Zealot FFA. We will use the NGL FFA gametype variant.

The Free For All event will be the the 2nd event of the day. Each team's FFA performance will determine their 4v4 seed (rank).You are NOT required to be on a 4v4 team to play in the FFA. FFA is open to all spectators and individual players.

The top 4 players in each match advance.We use the top performing player from each team to decide that team's seed. (So the more teammates you have playing FFA the better chance you have of getting a good seed.) We will total every player's performance across the entire FFA event then sort all players in this order:

Kills - Most to Fewest

Deaths - Fewest to Most

Assists - Most to Fewest

Tie Breakers will be decided by most headshots. (If you notice you have tied with another player for a top 4 position in your heat, please notify the referee, as these instances can be easy to miss.

The only exception to this sorting rule is when the top 8 are finalized (Final FFA match) they will immediately get the top 8 seeds regardless of sorted rank (above).

4v4 Team event

NGL's main event is the 4v4 Tournament. The 4v4 tournament will be a double elimination event. Each match-up will consist of a "Best of 3" series. The finals matches will be a best of 5 series. 4v4 seeds (rank) will be determined the FFA outcome (see above). With the purchase of a 4v4 Team Pass each team will get (1) free entry into the FFA event. The other 3 players are encouraged to play in the FFA event as NGL will take to top performing player from each team when creating seeds.

2v2 event

The 2v2 event will be based on a single eliminiation bracket and each match up will consist of 1 single game. All gametypes will be Team Slayer.

The 2v2 event will be randomly seeded. The higher seeded team will host while the opposing team will have choice of color.

Why NGL?

Why NGL Events?

We have a lot of players ask us why they should attend an NGL event over an MLG event. To that we have to say, look at the total cost and overall experience.

Cost to attend NGL vs. MLG events:
Expense	NGL Average Cost	MLG Average Cost
Entry Fee - 4v4	$200 / Team	$240 / Team
Entry Fee - 2v2	$30 / Team	Not Offered
Entry Fee - FFA	$25 / Player	Not Offered on Pro Circuit
Hotel	1 night @ $79/night	3 nights @ $189/night
Shuttle Service	Free to NGL venues	$10-$19 per day per person.
Parking	$0-$4	$0-$20
HD Live Stream?	FREE	$10/Event
Spectator Fees	$10	$20
Total	$418	$877

So your team can come to NGL and play in the 4v4, 2v2 and FFA events for less than 1/2 the cost of an MLG event that is ONLY 4v4.

Not to mention NGL brings in many of the same big name Pro players to compete at our events, and not only do you get to watch them play, between the 4v4, 2v2 and FFA events it's likely you will get to play a match against some of them.

Other Perks of NGL events:

• Free HD Steam.
• Limited number of teams which allows for more free play.
• Quciker FULL Screen rounds.
• Full Event comprised of 4v4, 2v2 and FFA.
• Limited spectator entry which allows for a much less hectic and busy venue.
