It's not that much time ago that the new playing system VERSUS has been released. In the beginning only a few games were added for testing and other stuff. But now Day of Defeat: Source has been added too. With this new system you only need two clicks to find an opponent within seconds.

What is VERSUS?
It's a new kind of playing system where you just need two clicks to file a match. You can compare it with the gather system but with features like a personal ranking where everyone gets their own personal ranking for each game, even in team games it's totally different and much easier to use. Also features like skill balancing, a new point system for climbing up the ranking and the fact that ESL Wire Anti-Cheat is mandatory for each match offers a great type of playing.

How to Play VS.?

Just click on the "PLAY VS." on the top of the page and pick Day of Defeat: Source 6vs6 from the list of games. Read the short ruleset by clicking on the button. Then you can add a voice or game server. Last step is clicking on "Search for match" and here you go!

*Note: You should keep in mind that in the beginning of VS. in DoD:S it will be difficult to find a match without promoting VERSUS, so it would be nice if you can write your friends "GO VS." via steam or IRC.


Super Sunday is AvC Day
All Sunday long you have the chance to earn doubled XP per Match you play in our new VERSUS system. This will not only help you to gain a higher level on ESL but also help us testing the performance of VERSUS on the most active day of the week. You like Win-Win situations? This definitely is one!

In addition you have the chance to play against a party team which just consist of the admin staff, challenge them and get your personal revenge. If you don't find an opponent during the week, but want to play VERSUS you know where and when you can find one!

Party System
From now on VERSUS' party system is permanently and fully enabled. It was planned as an integral part of VERSUS well in advance and is now available after being intensively developed during the recent weeks. Party allows you to play a VERSUS match with your friends in the same team.



How To Create A Party?
You'll find a button called "Create party" in your bottom userbar. With a single click the party is created and you can start inviting your friends with the displayed link.

When everybody has joined your party, you can click on "Play VS." to start the known VERSUS Play popup. Furthermore you also have the possibilities to kick players, delete and lock the party.


VERSUS Commercial
Also don't forget to watch our commercial which the guys of ESL TV made and everybody should have seen. If you like it, please share it with your friends!
