CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR - Jungler, ADC, support and top.

-----Basic Information about the team-----

Looking to play during the afternoon / evening. As early as 5pm as late as 1am finishing PST. We will talk about dates on which we will practice as we get a set 5 together. I expect people to be mature people. Therefore you must be at least 17 years of age to apply to the team. In addition, by applying for this team you should demonstrate complete dedication and loyalty to this team. This team has goals of competing in tournaments and also committing time to being the best it can be as a unit , while also growing individually. When starting this team I would ask that players( those applying ) to have flexible schedules. Due to the fact, we all have lives outside of Summoner's Rift I would ask everyone to be open with their schedules until we work out set practices times that work with all of the players once the roster is confirmed. There will be practices at least 3 or 4 days out of the week. THIS IS A SPONSORED AND SUPPORTED TEAM Via PORTLAND OREGON (Red Square Cafe). With that being said, a level of serious and professionalism will come with joining this team. However, no funds or salaries are in order yet but, with the proper performance from the team this could turn into a huge opportunity for all of the players and staff. The particular brand asked not to be revealed yet as they are going through issues with funding however, I the team captain would like to start the application/ tryout process as soon as possible.

IF TEAM MAKES IT TO GOLD 5 IN RANKED 5'S TEAM SHIRTS AND HOODIES WILL BE MADE AND MAILED TO THE STARTING 5 -Team is currently 5-0 gold 4 atm. Problems happened with some members who didnt get along.

-----Requirements for people applying for Player positions on the team-----

  1. Must be 17 years of age or older
  2. Must be Plat 5 And Up
  3. Must be willing to download any chat program the team decides to use (Skype, TS, Curse, or Raidcall)
  4. Must attend at least 4/5 practices during the week
  5. Must be able to communicate effectively with team members
  6. Must be able to vocalize any issues you are having with game play
  7. Must play a decent amount of solo/duo queue during off days
  8. Must effectively aim to broaden champ pool based on team comp needs.
  9. Must be able to both give and take criticism in a constructive manner
  10. Must be able to work with coaching staff to effectively improve game play
  11. Should be capable of shot calling (will strengthen chances of making team) (Interview will be conducting before any final decisions are made )

-----Things that will not be tolerated-----

-Bullying -Raging during practices -Blaming a whole game on one person's mistake -Making Team mates feel uncomfortable -Racism -BM towards any enemy team

  • Hateful messages -Missing excessive practices (without legitimate reasons) -Missing tournaments (without legitimate reasons) -Arguing with Coaching staff ( Constructive discussions are completely different)
  • Arguing with shot callers decisions in the middle of games (Breaking these rules can result in immediate removal from the team)

Real Name: Phil B Age: 22 Location: NJ Summoner Name: Clipzz Rank This Season: Gold Rank Last Season: Silver - I had to take a break for a year cause of work and school Primary Role: Jungle Champion Pool For Main Role: Lee, Eve, Nidalee, Elise, Rek'Sai, Gragas, Shyvana etc. When are you available: Just finished internship, so whenever you need be. Weekends I tend to get on around 6 - 8 EST What do you consider to be your strengths: My knowledge, I've played since S1 and have competed on multiple teams. For some reason I play a lot more focused and smarter when in 5's. I think it's the fact that i'm a good communicator and thrive in that kind of environment which lacks in solo que. What do you consider to be your weaknesses: I can get too caught up in trying to get lanes ahead through ganking that sometimes I can fall behind. Why are you looking for a team: Just started getting back into the game and want to be serious again. Comfort Shot calling (on a scale of 1-10, 1 =being weak ; 10= being strong ): 7-8 What do you expect from your team mates: I've been on multiple plat ranked teams and I am now looking for a team that understands more than just laying phase. I want a team that knows when power spikes are for both teams. As well as rotations, I usually call out rotations, but the team should understand what needs to happen for us to win the game. Mechanics are something that are nice, but obviously I would put the other stuff higher than that. I am not saying that I want to play with shit players, but I value smart players more than solo que landing phase gods etc. Any extra information you would like to give: I pretty much study this game, I watch every LCS in every region and have knowledge of how I think team comps, and the meta is played. I specifically watch SKT, FNC, EDG, TL and TIP. Just because I think these are the strongest teams in their respected region. I would gladly be able to prove my knowledge and shot calling ability.

Any questions that you have: As long as you guys think you have a firm grasp of the meta, and how the game should be played and how crucial rotations are. I'm interested, no questions really.
