What is the Format of the NESC 2024?
The online qualifiers for the NESC 2024 will be played in a double-elimination format.
This means that teams will have a chance to bounce back from an early loss and still compete for a spot in the regional qualifiers.
What are the Expectations for the NESC 2024?
The ESFI is excited to build on the success of last year's inaugural female CS:GO qualifiers, where the winning team made it all the way to the Asian qualifiers.
This time, the federation anticipates even greater achievements from India's talented female athletes.
ESFI President Vinod Tiwari expressed his enthusiasm for the NESC 2024, stating,
"After a historic 2023, where India made its debut at the Asian Games 2022, we are excited to embark on a new year of opportunities with the NESC 2024."
The registrations for NESC 2024 are now open until April 15. For more details check out ESFI’s discord server – https://discord.gg/esfi
