Ap3x Gaming Ranked 5's Team Looking for All Roles

~ Ap3x Gaming ~ Foreword I guess these posts generally begin with accreditation, so here's a word of backstory. I've played League on and off since its public release. I ran a gaming clan called Ap3x Gaming before conflicting life events led me to focus on other matters. Now that I have time to give again, I'd like to put together two ranked 5's teams. I'm looking for a total of 10 members. The purpose of this is to have at least one team that can seriously compete, with plenty of back up positions and fill-ins for potential tournaments and such. Ideally, there will be two full competitive teams where everyone gets a chance to play competitively, and both teams are never short of scrim partners. Life tends to not work out as smoothly but plan for the worst, hope for the best.

The highest solo que rating I've ever personally achieved was Plat 2 before I stopped playing for many months. Several years ago when I had a 5's team for a month although we only played around 20 games together we were able to achieve Gold 1. After playing for such a long period of time I have an understanding of the factors that contribute to victory. League is a very knowledge based game and as this is one of my greatest assets, I tend to excel in the role of Jungler. That being said I have a support that I've duo qued with since I started and would very much prefer to play adc.

Why you might consider joining I play this game because I seek out challenges and enjoy finding the best ways to overcome them. I play to best my opponent and learn more about the facets of the game, my satisfaction comes from self improvement more than it does from seeing the words "Victory" at the end of the game. I would love to play with a group of people who have a similar mindset. I'm not interested in teammates who rage, place blame, or make excuses for themselves. If you are that concerned with being judged about your play then this team is not right for you. Criticism is welcome AFTER the game, especially if it is constructive and has strong logical support. If you are also a player who isn't able to give advice or be honest about your own short comings then this team is probably not right for you. The environment is always friendly when we're working together to improve. The OTHER team is the enemy at all times (this fact makes for competitive motivation but it should never provoke lack of respect). This seems a bit "over the top" in words, but this applies mainly when we're playing and practicing with intent. There will be plenty of time to mess around with each other and the enemy team, but recognize when that mood might interfere with serious play. If you have the attention span to read for this long, and find yourself nodding to what I'm preaching, then you will probably mesh with all of the people interested in joining this team. What to expect I'm hoping to have team practice 3-5 nights a week (East Coast Time). Practice includes meeting up on Skype to talk about strategy, implementing those strategies in ranked matches, reviewing the game's afterwards (each player will make notes of someone else on the team) and giving constructive criticism. Defining everyone's roles and figuring out generally how to work together and achieve our goals. I'm looking to achieve at the very least upper platinum after playing together for a while, and would love to experience going beyond that and even trying our hand at playing competitive tournaments. **How to Apply ** Respond to this post with a few thoughts about what you read. Add me in game and message me with your Skype name. You'll be quickly put through try-outs and notified if you made the team by the end of the week. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Hope to play with you all soon :) - Ap3x
