The NGL ONE will change the focus from the known team league to a solo tournament - overall 24 players will be fighting in the NGL ONE Warcraft III 1on1 competition for a prize money of 17,500$. Eight players will receive a direct invitation by the NGL ONE, twelve spots will be given away in Qualifiers and the last four participants will be selected after a community poll.

The online season lasts twelve weeks - every player has to face two opponents every week. The ranking system is known from the ESL Pro Series competitions. At the end of the season the eight best players have to face offline; every participant receives 500$ travel cost support - 17,500$ in prize money will be given away at the online finals.

The spots for the Online Season will be given away by invitations, qualifiers and community polls.

- 8 participants via direct invitations (known invitations)
