The sign up period for the DGL Nations Cup will be closing Sunday evening, after which no new registrations will be allowed so we can finalize the teams. So if you haven't already, go sign up to participate in this awesome event here. Anyone can join and everyone will get the chance to be on a team and play. You'll also need an account on the DGL website.

If you're wondering what the Nations Cup is all about, read on:

Rather than host a traditional "Nations Cup" where each country sends one team of their best players to compete for victory, we've opted to do something slightly different. We've opened sign up to anyone and everyone who'd like to play, in order to allow people who haven't gotten a slice of the DGL action to get in on it. While this may make it not a "true" Nations Cup, we hope everyone won't get hung up on our use of the phrase, since it sounds a lot cooler than "Regions Cup". This also allows players from countries that otherwise wouldn't have been able to field a team to join in the tournament, as well as more players from big countries that would otherwise not have had the chance to play since they would have been cut. So how's this all going to work?

After the sign up period ends, we'll finalize the draft teams that we've been working on, which have been adjusted for both balance and locality. While we freely admit that some teams will be a little better than others, we think each team will at least have a chance of beating any other. The teams themselves will then elect their own captains from within the team.

After this has been done, matches will be scheduled and played in a single elimination bracket. All matches will be played 6v6, but otherwise according to standard DGL rules.

The DGL Staff wishes everyone a wonderful time and the best of luck in the upcoming tournament!
