Pre-Worlds Startup Online Event Thingy

Hey all, we'll be having an online event for the Startup format using the latest balance update (25.04) before Worlds! Want to get some startup games in and get some cool prizes! Now's your chance!

Aesops: https://tournaments.nullsignal.games/tournaments/4175

Time:

We will be playing in the "online-tournaments-4" channel on the Netrunner Event Hub (https://discord.gg/qV5Br5mu link expires 9/18/2025). We will have a player meeting at 18:00 UTC, with rounds hopefully starting at 18:30 UTC. This roughly corresponds to 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM CST for folks in my timezone / the Americas. (I will try to have a follow up event after worlds that is more amenable to APAC players)

Entry Cost

Anyone can play for free, I don't want one's financial situation to limit them from playing this game. However, I will ask to hep offset the cost of shipping (often internationally) and prizing, that folks purchase tickets for $10 off Eventbrite if they want to get prizing for this event. Following how NSG Organized Play does events, I'll close ticket sales prior to the event starting.

Prizing

All of the prizing for this event is custom(-ish). How it works:

When you buy your ticket off Eventbrite, you'll be asked what playset you want for participation. Then you can choose another playset of prizing for each points cutoff (3, 6, 9, etc).

Alongside points based prizing, the top 4 players will get a CUSTOM JNET BACK by PiCat314
and surprise prizing related to the custom jnet back. The design is incomplete, and will most likely ship after other prizing.

Players will be able to choose the following arts as playset options for participation and/or points

Pantograph by meanlady
Biawak by meanlady
Ritual by Elessar_Ellie
Scatter Field by Elessar_Ellie
Buzzsaw by nin
Carmen by nin

All top cut participants will be able to also get their choice of a foil Biawak or Pantograph by meanlady.

Theoretically then if you win 2 games, but do not make the top cut, you will be able to have 3 playsets of cards from the list above, while if you win 6 games and place at the top, you'll get all 6 playsets listed above, a special surprise prize from PiCat314, and the custom Jnet card back.

I also over-purchased older NSG prizing in the past, so for players who do not have full art copies of Your Digital Life, Curupira, Slap Vandal, or Ablative Barrier, feel free to mention that you'd like a playset of those, and I can throw them in your prizing as well.

Prizing Distribution

If you are making it to worlds, let me know and I can give you your prizing at worlds! For everyone else, I'll be mailing prizing out after I return from Worlds. In the event that prizing is short, I'll be ordering additional prizing from MPC, which may lead to a delay, but I'll communicate that in the online-tournaments-4 channel. I may need to reach out to players individually via discord to confirm shipping information as well.
