Ranked 5's LF Mid and Jungle mains
Greetings from Venom Academy,
INTRO We are a brand new team who are currently looking for members to join our main roster in the Top/Support role. The core members have been playing for roughly a year together. We are committed to making Venom Academy work for season 6. There are certain requirements to join the team. Please only add us or submit an application if you are Plat 5 or higher. We MAY CONSIDER Gold 3+ depending on how long you have been playing the role. We will go through each applicant and check their history/top 3 champion mastery. If you do not have champions that work for your respective roles (meaning most played are top/adc/jungle champs), we will not even consider you for a tryout. We have gone through tryouts where they main a different role and want to try out for this position because they think they can accomplish or meet our goals, but it just doesn’t work. We do not want to waste your time so please do not waste ours. Speaking of these goals, please read on.
WHAT WE EXPECT For the Mid role, we are expecting you to be very flexible in picks. Your job is to be able to farm well throughout the laning phase, have enough game sense to know when you are being ganked, to make excellent plays, communicate well, team fight positioning, to not die multiple times in laning phase, and if you do, to know how to play from behind. On our team, we are expecting you to be the primary tank and not a carry (but may change later on).
For the jungle role, we are expecting you to be able to work with our support. We are judging your ability to have good vision control, have great jungle routes, and make good mechanical plays. This is what is needed on our team. Anything extra that you can do will be great as well.
SCHEDULE 8:30 PM – 11:30 PM (PST) 9:30 PM – 12:30 AM (MST) 10:30 PM – 1:30 AM (CST) 11:30 PM – 2:30 AM (EST) NOTE: This is a rough draft of the schedule. We will be playing 3 out of the 5 days throughout the week. The weekend will be used as more team practice if needed, but after we have a core 5 that we know will stick together, we will be attempting to play in tournaments on weekends.
GOALS We need to be realistic. We will probably not make the LCS. This is a team where you can come and have a good time. You will be able to gain experience on a 5s team and hopefully grow as a player. We will be going for at least Plat as ranked 5s for the season. If we can reach Plat, the next reasonable goal is to hit Diamond. We believe Plat is very achievable, but we will decide as a team what the next goal is as we hit them.
COMMUNICATION We will be using Discord as our way to communicate with one another during tryouts. You may have it downloaded, but if you do not, we will just send you the link and you may copy&paste into your browser URL. Join it and we will be ready to go.
APPLICATION Please fill this out if you are interested. NOTE: I WILL NOT accept you if you add me unless I see your application. We get plenty of people that add us and do not fit our requirements. PLEASE be at least Gold 3 when filling out the application. -Name: -SoloQ/Ranked 5’s Rank: -Desired Role: -Time Zone: -Your top 5 best champions: Please at some point in your post use the phrase “banana sammich” so I know you read at least SOME of the post.
