Good morning NA,

To provide some background here, I decided to run some personal (and free!) mentoring/ coaching sessions on OCE. There was enough interest from people on NA that I decided I'd run it on NA too.

I've copy and pasted the below from my OCE post.

I don't think I'm good, as diamond 5 really is bad, but I'm not so terrible that I can't help anybody. [OCE IGN: Star]

Hope you're all having a great weekend, and a good start to the new year.

I'll keep this simple. When the Oceanic server first was released, i ran the biggest free mentoring group. It wasn't as amazing as i hoped it to be, which was mainly due to my time constraints, but i made several great memories, and some even better friends. Most people i mentoring gained a couple of divisions- nothing too incredible, but noteable.

Anyways, i'm looking to select 2-3 [edit: 2 people from OCE and 1 from NA] people to personally mentor over the next couple of weeks (or longer), where i can share my knowledge and improve you as a player overall.

Why could i be a good coach for you?

-Good game knowledge (i've been playing since season one). -Highest achieved ranking was Diamond 5 64 LP [this was on NA] -Achieved diamond in ranked 5's -Done coaching several times before -Have been an analyst for several teams.

I think i could definitely be a good coach/ mentor. So the question is, could you be a good student? If you're interested, write a detailed description in the comments below (please don't just friend request me). Minimum current elo/mmr is bronze 2 (i've never been lower, so i don't know how to coach anyone lower). I'd prefer to coach bot lane or mid, however am fairly decent enough in all roles.

I'm taking rolling applications, so sign up before they are gone. [edit: I'll be choosing people based on their responses and personality]

"Diamond 5 is bad" Diamond is above 95% of people. What are you saying.

Hi there! My current elo is: Gold 5, i was gold 2 last season. I am a midlane main.

I'm an enthusiastic, punctual & very serious mid lane main looking for long-term improvement. I'm very interested in your coaching, as this is actually my first season playing as my first MOBA. The game has really captivated me and I would like to further excel my skills in any form possible. I've been extensively researching match ups, builds and high level strategies (However non-existent in my elo) and I do practice for around 4-5, sometimes 6-8 hours daily. I have unfortunately hit some-what of a plateau after I had hit the rank of gold 2. I don't quiet understand at this point what I'm doing wrong and how i can improve my gameplay. One aspect I do understand and strictly follow, is if i am not diamond or above, I don't have the core mechanics or the fundamentals of this game fully grasped. Fundamental examples such as: csing, warding, trading, minion wave manipulation and zones of control/spacing.

Although I wish to continue on excelling and further enhancing those fundamental skills, I do have issues with some of the more advance aspects in league such as team fighting, understanding team comps, pick & ban phase and how to fully snowball my lead into a victory. My game theory is quiet extensive, however execution does lack. My champ pool consists: Oriana / Ahri / Leblanc / Fizz / Annie / Malphite / Brand / Diana / Anivia / Twisted Fate / talon and Syndra. I believe in quality over quantity thus my champion pool is very limited for the time being.

My goals: I started bronze 2 back in early season 5. I was then silver for several seasons until I picked up midlane. since then I had gotten to the rank of gold 2 and then soon after platued at high gold. A milestone for this season is platinum 5, however my optimal goal is reaching lower diamond if possible. With my excessive playing, very flexible schedule and willingness to learn along with my drive, I feel as though I can make diamond this season. My story is very straightforward, Id be honored to work with you.
