STEP.3-1：If you do not have an ESL account, select [Register with PlayStation Network] at the bottom of the screen.

STEP.3-2：After you create an ESL account and agree to the access authorization, your PSN account will be linked to your ESL account.
*When you create an ESL account, you will receive an email from PlayStation Network asking you to set a password.

STEP.4：For team tournaments, you must be a member of a team to register and participate. You will need to create a team or join a team.

STEP.4-1：From the event screen, select "List of Teams" and proceed to create a team.

STEP.4-2：After setting up your team name and logo, select the players you want to invite to your team. The players you invite do not have to be your friends; you can invite them by entering their ID directly.

STEP.7：You will receive another notification when it is time for the match you want to participate in, so go to the [Event] screen and click on "My Events" or "View Event Details" from the notifications, and check your lobby code. You will need this to participate in the tournament, so make a note of it or take a picture of it with your smartphone. Please note that you will not be able to access the lobby directly by clicking "Join Now".

STEP.8：After starting the game, open the rules selection screen in the lower left corner of the screen, then press the tournament icon in the upper right corner and enter the lobby code that you have just checked. Once in the lobby, join any available team and follow the instructions of the observers to wait for the game to start.
