A big shout out to all the volunteers! We have two new board members, Riokaii and 7thAce. OccultWiz holds a new spot on the Patreon committee and new on the disciplinary committee, Olimebus. There are spots open for more volunteers. These include, but are not limited to, social media director, rules committee, community outreach committee, analysts, creative team members, video editors, and observers. If there is a position that looks interesting to you or you want to help in any way, message borntoshine or Jaxster on Discord. We appreciate and love the help! You can always check the #help_wanted channel in NGS Discord.
Casters!
There were no caster bylaws changes since the end of last season. As always, please check the #caster for caster information. Note that Ace’s caster tool will be updated with map pools but stays the same for all other components. Team logos will be uploaded next week. Casters who want to join the NGS Twitch team, reach out to Krushinator or Murda. Caster awards, cumulative from season 11, are as follows: 15 casts- NGS Caster Emanel Pin, 30 casts- NGS Caster Coffee Mug, 60 casts – NGS Art Canvas Print, 75 casts – NGS Big Cluckin Mug. Also, if you are interested in becoming a caster, post in #caster_sign_up.
Round it all out!
Support NGS on Patreon. Season 12 items have been updated. Patreon will automatically fulfill swag rewards after 3 consecutive months on the relevant tier with global shipping. NGS fulfilled rewards will be sent after the regular season to the US and Canada Only.
Surprise! A new NGS storefront. https://ngs-store-front.myshopify.com/. This store is independent of Patreon, so that you can buy from both Patreon and this store. Patreon rewards will not be available for purchase in the storefront. Any funds generated will go back into NGS, either store or community. Any comments, concerns, or praise is welcome!
