The National Electronic Sports League has an open division for League of Legends, in which a team of any level of experience is welcome. The second season of it starts this week, and I think this would be an excellent way of getting our feet wet in the competitive scene, in addition to that Alienware tournament. This would allow us to grow progressively as a team, because we would be able to participate in the tournaments whenever they come up. In addition, Go4LoL tournaments aren't actually a league, but the tournaments are held every Sunday, with actual cash prizes every week. The best teams over the four weeks in each month compete at the end of the month for more money.
