This is lengthy!!! But skip to application part if you already know what a SERIOUS/DETERMINED coach/player wants from a team environment and you believe that you understand what it takes, then you can skip on down and fill out an application and read if you must! Thanks for the cooperation!!! ;)

What is up everyone!! My name is Daniel and my IGN is Toxic NA Jungler and I am simply looking to start a SERIOUS Ranked team that is willing to grind through the ranks and go on a journey to the top with me. I will be the coach on this journey and my job will simply be keeping everyone in line and help improve this team as we go on.

So before I begin with the application let me tell you who i am, and what I expect from the players that sign up.

A little background knowledge of me

I am a Silver 5 player, and I will be honest I am not the best player in the world, but I have a ton of knowledge that can be used to develop a team, and a team community. I have coached teams that have ranged from Silver 3-Plat 3. I do not consider myself a great player to any means, but I do consider my self a great communicator and observer, as well as a great listener and a great coach overall. I do what is best for the team, and always have. I am only 17 years old and still in high school and I believe I am a person with great leadership qualities. I do what I must and do what is best for the team to succeed. I have been team captains in school sports as well as knowledgeable in other big esports. So what I am trying to put across here is that I am knowledgeable in the game of League of Legends, and believe I can lead a team filled of 5 DETERMINED and SERIOUS players/competitors.

Are you meant for this team? (Answer that yourself)

I am a coach that will do what he must to bring his team to victory. I always want to see my players happy. And I believe I deliver that in many ways. So what do I expect from these silver+ players??? I expect them to know that I am expecting a lot from the players or people that apply. I get it will be fun, but serious at the same time. I will sit down and go over the teams success and flaws in matches. I will spectate every game, and I will also have practice times. I just expect people to sign up that are mentally ready for a few long weeks, as we go through this journey together and I grab players, and have a serious evaluation on these players, as I want them to do their best, and I realize that people mess up, but what I saying is... I want to see effort, commitment, and overall teamwork, if you believe you have that. You will be find on this team. Ok moving forward, we must.

So do I (as a coach) enter my teams in tournaments???

The quick answer is... YES!!! I do enter teams into tourneys. But not very important right away. Just adds toy seriousness as a coach.

Practice schedules???

So, practice schedule??? You may ask. Well even though it is NOT SET IN STONE!!! I have always done a practice schedule going by Eastern standard time (EST). The schedule will consist of this, but can be and most likely will be flexed.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday 6 PM est - 10/11 PM EST

NOTE: This may change, but I would expect this. At least for the most part... Expect this schedule. The 4 hours of playing and then an hour of review, and maybe some fun, or a fun filled game. I don't know quite yet.

Ok so moving past the practice schedule.. It may change, but right now it is pretty accurate. It can be flexed, but that actually is not that much. If we play well I will lower time or add time depending on the team needs.

Do we scrim???

Yes, yes we do scrim against random teams (We will get used to them though). I have some teams that may scrim us of not, then it is easy to scrim teams, but P.S. it is easier to scrim when you place, but we won't do that until we are ready for that either.

Ok so overall... I am a coach that is looking for determined players. So sorry for making you guys read this but here is the application! Please take it seriously and take me seriously. I will tell you more if you apply, and I will talk to every and I mean every person very similar, and expect honest, and truthful answers, and do not be afraid to ask me questions.

Can you have your friends join?

I would rather not ask me for that. I want this to be a cool experience for everyone where everyone can learn from one another, and meet some cool, and neat people. So it depends, but probably not.. Sorry.

Will I be the only coach/manager for the team???

No! I will have applications for that later down the road, as of right now? This is a solo project that I just need a group of 5 decent and competent players, that are willing to improve and are silver+ (With exceptions of Bronze 1s... Sometimes, just all depends on the player... Because rank sometimes is meaningless.)

Things to know before applying!!!

Need Skype/Discord working mic DO NOT LIE ABOUT AGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT DO NOT ADD ME. AS I WILL ADD AFTER PEOPLE APPLY TAKE THE APP SERIOUS *DO NOT APPLY IF THIS IS TOO MUCH (PS... It is not too much, just sounds like a lot. In reality I am really East going and you shall see that when we speak.

_What is your time zone? How often do you play? Do you meet the 6-10 PM EST practice times on those 3 selected days?(Monday,Wednesday,Friday) _ Mondays and Fridays I am free at the designated times, but until mid-May, Wednesdays will be difficult because of class until 8:15 EST.

Your strengths in the game: I'm very patient with the game and my teammates which prevents me from tilting. I'm very good at prioritizing map objectives. Fairly consistent. Wards.

Your weaknesses in the game: **Being micro-managed and complainers / toxic players tilt me. Sometimes lose map awareness by tunneling on a target or goal. **

Finally... Why do you want to join a ranked team in the first place? And do you understand that I take it serious and expect the players to have fun, learn, and just win all together as a team. Is that understandable? Give your thoughts on what it takes to be on a team and why you want to join.

I want to join a ranked team because I'm looking for a group in which to improve with and grow as a player. I do understand that this is a serious team, that is clear to me and exactly what I'm looking for. I think the desire for improvement is the most important aspect to being on a team because there will be no progression otherwise. I want to join a ranked team because I want to improve and I'm hoping this will help me accomplish that goal.
