22 October 2023: Withdrawal from SPSA and SPL with immediate effect 

We, the Next Level Poker Sports Club
announce the withdrawal from the Swiss Poker Sports Association (SPSA) and their Swiss Poker Leage (SPL) with effect as of immediate. 

How our club will continue will be decided in the future. As of per now, we will remain as an independent Poker club. 

27 May 2023: Big dreams busted. 

It wasn't meant to be. The disappointment is immense, after a great season, where we never left the top 4, and a good starting point for the finalissima as the 2nd ranked, only to be demoted to the 3rd place in the Shootout. It hurts really bad. 

We want to thank all our fans and supporters who cheered for us! You were fantastic. 

And kudo's to the team who supported the low-variance strategy and subordinated their own style of playing to the greater interest of the team. Thank you for your trust!

And last but not least a big thank you to all our rivals. We developed beautiful friendships and we were always so excited to meet you every 2 weeks to battle. 

Congratulations to the Poker Academy to the title! Well done and well deserved!
