Generation NSTLGA, a North American tournament organiser focused on developing emerging esports talent, has entered an exclusive official data partnership with GRID until the end of 2027. Under the agreement, official live data from their Counter-Strike 2 events, including NSTLGA League Season 2, Texas Open LAN and future tournaments, will be available through GRID’s official esports data services.

Through the partnership, official live data from Generation NSTLGA tournaments will be integrated into GRID’s data services, giving rights holders, media platforms, fan experiences and commercial partners access to trusted data captured directly from the game servers.

North America’s esports scene continues to produce promising new talent, but players need opportunities to prove themselves. Generation NSTLGA creates those opportunities, giving emerging CS2 players and teams a platform to compete, showcase their skills and take the next step in their esports careers.

“Generation NSTLGA is doing important work to strengthen competitive esports in North America, and we’re proud to support that through this partnership. The collaboration reflects our shared belief in the value of trusted, official data and the role it can play in supporting competitive esports.”
Stefan Djokic, GRID Partnerships Development Manager

“Partnering with GRID is about giving our fans the same quality of experience they get watching the biggest events in the world. It means live, official match data flowing straight into our broadcasts, website, and socials, so fans can follow a series, track a player’s form, and see the story of a match as it’s actually happening instead of waiting for it to be pieced together after the fact. Grassroots and regional events have historically been the last to get this kind of technology, and I wanted to change that for North America. If we’re asking teams to show up and compete at a high level, the coverage around them has to match that.”
Anthony Krasnyi, Founder, Generation NSTLGA

Official coverage begins with NSTLG League Season 2 and continues across Generation NSTLG’s event calendar until the end of 2027.

About NSTLGA

Generation NSTLGA is a Washington-based Counter-Strike event organizer built on a simple idea: North American competitive gaming was at its best when it happened in a room, in person, with something real on the line. Over the past year, Generation NSTLGA has backed that vision with seven events, more than $25,000 paid out, Valve-recognized LANs from the Seattle Open to the Washington Open, and a 56-team NSTLGA League Season 1. Looking ahead, Generation NSTLGA aims to scale that pathway nationally, building a year-round calendar of leagues, cups, and destination LANs that connects grassroots teams directly to the professional tier without leaving North America.
