CSGO

Time to put your skills to the test and begin your journey to compete in an eSports league exclusive to those who live in Ontario. The nature of this league is to be friendly, supportive, and then competitive. We know competitive nature will takeover as we all want to win, but there is a ZERO tolerance policy on negativity or disrespect shown to any other members of the league. You are now formally part of Canada's growing local eSports community, let’s be ambassadors for where the future of gaming going! See below for further details and instructions:

Online matches played weekly against other teams in Ontario.

League is open to everyone of all genders, ages, and skill-types.

NOTE: We are working on a solution with Cevo to find a better way to host games then what we will likely begin the season with, which is the team captains organizing the lobby/server and adding their players. You will be updated on this matter on Discord.

    Team captains are needed for each team. Currently the Highest ranked player is the default captain but please let us know if you have decided a different captain. Captains will be in charge of preparing their squads and setting up matches each week. They will also be responsible for making sure their team submits their scores at the end of each game.

    Looking for other players / teammates? No problem!

    • We recommend joining the OeSL discord first to meet new people!
    • If you want to sign-up SOLO and make new friends we can pair you with a team.
    • If you have a group of friends that want to play together we can pair you on a team and add extra players if needed.

    RULES + LOGISTICS

    Forfeits and Rescheduling:
    If your team cannot have 5 players by the start of the game, a 15-minute mercy will be given to find the required players to have a full-team. Please notify OeSL admin if your team is in trouble to meet this requirement, the earlier the better.

    Matches can be rescheduled as long as BOTH Teams agree to it. Players trying to reschedule a match the DAY OF the game may have to suffer a loss if the opposing team does not agree to it.

    Substitutes:
    Subs are allowed to be made before the start of any round, even mid-matchup. If you will be requiring a sub for an upcoming game, any player within the league may be used as a sub. If going outside of the league, please notify OeSL Admin.

    We understand that on the rare occasion - One or Two players may not show up to a game without warning in time for the start of the first round. Which can ruin the experience for everyone. Therefore instead of a forfeit, we allow substitutions and players to fill on a team. Please send us their:

    1. NAME
    2. EMAIL
    3. IGN
    4. DISCORD ID
    BEFORE MATCH
    Left side of schedule is the home team, with the Team Captain in-charge of setting up the match (We recommend Cevo). Please aim to have your game setup 15 minutes prior to start-time. Players are encouraged to communicate in the allotted “Team Chats” on the OeSL Discord. If you haven’t joined yet, please do: https://discord.gg/rBKFDR8.

    DURING MATCH
    We encourage each team to have a designated streamer or someone recording the match. With regards to streaming, we will be showcasing all streams of games pertaining to your league, so please share with us in advance if you possess the capabilities and are looking to do this.

    AFTER MATCH
    The Team Captain of each team is expected to take a screenshot of the end-game scoreboard reflecting all team’s stats and the score. This is to be posted in the Discord “CSGO-results” channel immediately after the week’s matchups are completed. Standings will be updated the following day by OeSL.
