My team will get fully paid up once we get all 6 confirmed players rostered

definitely do this!

this post sort of goes out to players who aren't really sure if they're ready for open or not.
if any teams/players were considering signing up, but aren't sure if you're good enough/are having second thoughts, don't think that. I was in that spot myself 3 seasons ago. i'll admit, open is kind of scary from an outside point of view because most of the teams/players look to be better than you, but that's because they took the plunge into open and improved because of it. it's incredibly worth it to make the jump because players tend to take things a lot more seriously considering you have to pay money to play in it. you will improve quite a bit, though in your first season you will probably not do so well in comparison to other teams, and that's okay! it's all about the experience and it's not about how good/bad you do, it's about playing the game, having fun and improving yourself as a player. losing a lot can be crushing on morale, but if you stay positive and look to every loss as a potential way to improve yourself from your mistakes(watch your demos!!), you'll be doing great in no time at all.

i guess the summary of it(tl;dr) is don't be afraid to take the plunge. open is exactly as the title implies, it's open to anyone. no matter how experienced/inexperienced/young/old/etc you are, it doesn't matter, because open is.. open. (to you!)

also you're contributing in helping extend the competitive life of a game we all love by doing so, it's a win-win!

I'm not a big UGC forum guy, but if there's someone that wants to post on UGC and let them know the low number of signups in Open so far, they should. Now would be the best time for the lower level teams to hop into open and learn a lot this season

i will pay fees for a few open rosters if thats the reason why u arabs aren't in the league yet

katamari spacebots to ruin the fun of everyone in open

u wouldve got +frags if u posted cloudmakers profile

gotta start getting your teams signed up! we won't have an ESEA season without more open teams and there is only 8 days left! I've paid for a full UGC team to play and maybe another so you guys should all be paying up to who plan on playing!

Is anyone doing open writeups for this season?

https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=league&d=standings&division_id=2540 there are only 24 teams in open currently, and that just isnt enough, if you have any friends in ugc or something, help them out and try to convince them, make ur own team just please support the cause.

im p sure alot arent there because they keep getting removed for not having any paid

ya i know a lot of teams that i know are playing but don't show up. not time for panicmode yet

does anyone have that website that counts paid teams and players from each division?

Yeah, it's down and I don't have a server to put them back up on, so I'm not sure if they'll be available before registration ends.
