We've been having some problems with site performance (as you may have noticed!) over the past week or so. We've found part of the problem and fixed it, so things should be much smoother now.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
The Natural Selection team is happy to present you with what might be the last server-side update to NS v3.0 (the next version being a larger update with v3.1). This new version contains a number of code changes that are going to be especially interesting for seasoned players. This patch would not have been possible without the help of a number of dedicated server communities, many of which will already run this patch as you read this.
Read the changelog [file=changelogs/v305-changelog.html]here[/file].
Please note that only server operators need to download and apply these changes. If you don't want to host a server, you do not need to download the files below.
Enjoy the new version and see you online!
After nearly a two week delay, the staff has finally been able to launch the second edition of the Natural Selection Invitational tournament. For those of you who have never heard of NSI here is a brief description of what it is:
The NSI Tournament program is an effort by select members of the NS competitive community to host a tournament that unites the entire community under one event. The Summer Tournament will be its second official event, and we will use lessons learned from the previous tournament to make this coming one the best we possibly can. We'd like to thank our supporters, participating teams, and our staff members for making this event possible. Make sure to continue checking this page for updates and other tournament information.
The tournament is a simple 16-team Double Elimination tournament and contains teams from all around the world. Feel free to root for the team for your country, and if there is none get out there and make one!
The NSInvitational Tournament's first matches will take place this weekend and round 1 will be over by the 4th of July. We will maintain contact with the NS community and would like to ask clanners, vets, devs, pts and pubbers alike, please come out and support the event. Enjoy a good game of NS by watching from our HLTV servers, and on top of that enjoy a great commentary of the match live with NSRadio. For more information visit our website at www.nsinvitational.com or come to #nsinvitational on irc.gamesurge.net
All match information will be posted on our website along with demos of each match. So come out and enjoy this summers hottest event, the NSI!
