Sign ups are closed & the action is starting!

Welcome to Term 2 of NITRO ASL, powered by Clear Access. Matches have officially begun and ASL Junior, for primary schools has been launched. This term teams were seeded into Premiere Division and Open Division based on their results from term 1 fixtures. The top performing teams and students this term will qualify for direct entry into our finals for the year, AGC1, which is shceduled to be held at the University of Cape Town. There will be qualfiers in the venue for schools in AGC1 for those that do not gain entry from term 2.

Major changes this term see all titles being featured as leagues instead of cups and Street Fighter 6 being swapped out for Brawlhalla. 

Hello Fortnite Players!

It is highly recommended that your players be on ASL Discord for match information about Fortnite (https://discord.gg/End8EWET)

We will play two matches once a week for the next 6 weeks (starting next week). Please put your school initials in your Fortnite name so that our shoutcasters can correctly identify you on stream. Also please ensure your Fortnite name is the same under "Epic Account" on your ASL profile so that the system can automatically capture your score. Incorrect name = no score.

Welcome to NITRO ASL Junior!

This new league, powered by both ACER NITRO and Clear Access, is here to accomdate our massively growing Primary School sector. The main difference is that teachers have a stronger hold on student accounts and play a bigger role in organising matches. This league is more flexible and aims to be a growing space for students.

There will be a focus on three main games:

Format

This term NITRO ASL, powered by Clear Access will only utilise a league. All leagues will have weekly matches. In addition we will be hosting once off cups to test new titles and modes outside the usual seasons.

We have also created ASL Junior which focuses on primary school learners. The titles with Junior leagues are Minecraft, Rocket League and Chess. If you wish to join that league please email us so we can send you the correct information.

Close to the end.

We're on the final stretch of of NITRO ASL, powered by Clear Access. For four weeks Fortnite players have been building, Rocket League players have been driving and EAFC players have been kicking.

Information regarding ACG (the school finals) for most titles will be shared soon. For now keep in mind the dates the 24th - 25th of July.

Middle of the term and strong

Welcome to your midterm update. As the third week of NITRO ASL, powered by Clear Access comes to a close most schools understand the systems and are communicating. We will be rolling out some more tools of communication for teachers to opt into (that will be landing in their inboxes later today) with additional features being in the works to be added to the Discord.

A major change coming in term 2 is the separation of Primary School and High Schools in several games. Previously the primary schools did not have enough players and teams to have a separate league but with the huge influx in 2024 it makes logistical sense so teachers can communicate and to ensure the skill level is more consistent. We are excited for the change and know the primary schools will appreciate the tools to make it easier to organise with their opponents.

NITRO ASL is in full swing.

Welcome to your second week of intense esports action with Nitro ASL, powered by Clear Access. Yesterday we had our first League of Legends stream directly after Fortnite. All streams will be done on our Twtich channel with VODs (replays) available on our YouTube channel. This week we have more Fortnite streams and another League of Legends stream on Thursday. For our full schedule see below. 

After weeks of preparation Term 1 is finally underway!

It's the moment we have all been waiting for. Welcome to NITRO ASL powered by Clear Access's first week of play.

Fortnite will be streaming this week Wednesday and Thursday at 16:15. Tune into our Twitch for the livestream with VODs going onto our YouTube.

More information will be on the specific tournament.
