Hello everyone, and welcome to ESL’s first season of MW3. We know everyone has been waiting for a league to start for this game and here it is! The prizes will depend on how many teams are willing to sign up, and also how many will become premium teams. So spread the word about the NESL MW3 season, the more the better off it will be. More Premium Membership signups = bigger prize pools, not to mention all the Premium benefits that are listed here. Please note, we will only have a season if we can get a decent amount of teams. The plan is to start sometime in the next three or four weeks depending on the community level of interest.

A post will be made later on with the full rules and information about the league so this is all subject to change, but here are some points of interest we are considering:

• There will be one match a week and you will be able to schedule it whenever you would like, but you must have to get it played by Monday at 9PM EST. If the teams can’t agree on another time they must play on their default day and time.


• The league will be eight weeks long with a four week playoff. The map pool will be Arkaden, Bakaara, Bootleg, Carbon, Fallen, Lockdown, Resistance, and Seatown.


• A server-addon is currently in the works and if it will be viable, it will be used for the league. It fixes fov and the server lag compensation.


• Rcon status screenshots will need to be uploaded for every match showing the players id’s as well as the other regular screenshots.


• Silencers will no longer be allowed.


• Time limit will be changed to 1:30.

The same roster rule will be in place for the first six weeks, a player must join 24 hours prior to the match or the other team must agree on letting them play. This rule isn’t in effect for the first week. Starting in week seven and throughout playoffs the roster will be locked and you won’t be able to add anyone new, after you have played your week six match no one new can be added.

Please post any questions or comments and we will try and get to you as soon as possible.
