Platinum 1 Team LF a Diamond or higher AD Carry.
Our team of 4 is currently opening up our application process to find a like-minded individual who is willing to learn and constructively work with the team. We are asking for a relatively friendly, or at least a level-headed player who knows the difference between appropriate times for joking around and appropriate times to take things seriously. Rage and short tempers are completely out of the question. We try to play most days at 22:00 (10 p.m.) EST.
Converted Timezones for your Convenience: Pacific Standard Time [GMT - 8:00]: 18:00 Mountain Time [GMT - 7:00]: 20:00 Central Time [GMT - 6:00]: 20:00
How to Apply: To begin, we like to think that we are reasonably fair and human, just like you. If you invest time and effort, then we will reciprocate. If you think you would be a good addition to the team, please add Laxatives in-game or post here with an application. Please recall that language was created as a means to communicate; any visually illegible and/or incomprehensible applications can and likely will be denied without further notice.
Asking a question that can be answered simply by reading this post warrants the immediate termination of your application.
Who We Are: Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a primarily Season Four Gold-Platinum-Diamond tier team; next season, we are aiming to compete in online tournaments (such as Go4LoL) as well as reach at least Platinum tier with our own merit in a timely fashion. Some of us already have experience in doing so. As a team, we have a strong emphasis on the importance of game analysis and lectures over recklessly rolling dice against the Queue.
Core Values of this Team: Listening to lectures and watching replays are to be expected; we will take into account your learning preferences [visual, audio, kinesthetic]. Sometimes there will be homework [5-10 minutes a week maximum, if at all] if we run out of time. You may be asked to have a notebook and pen set aside specifically for League of Legends. You will be conditioned and trained to eat, sleep and breathe League of Legends for the entirety of your stay. Further details available upon request during the interview process.
Application Process So how does the application process work?
If your strengths include being 'already mechanically proficient' or having a 'profound understanding of the game', then you close your browser and save yourself the effort in applying. You are already at what you perceive to be the top of things and thereby have no room for improvement. A shame.
1 - Answer these questions carefully in a posted reply:
Application Questions Summoner Name: Briefly Tell Us Why You'd Like to Join: Briefly Tell Us About Yourself: Your preferred role: Your Strengths: Your Weaknesses:
2 - After an initial selection process, you will be contacted to schedule an interview which will focus on helping us get an idea about you as a player; watch for a random friend request from one of our interviewers only if you've made it thus far:
Application Reviewers: Godship
3 - After second round of selection, you may be subject to schedule another interview which will focus on helping us understand you; we will want to know the extent of your theoretical knowledge. The second stage includes an evaluation of performance by playing several games with us.
4 - After a third round of selection, you will be contacted one more time to discuss the pros and cons of your application. Perhaps you seem like a good fit but are missing something minor or have some personal reasons to sort out. The third contact will be to clear any impressions and give you opportunity to defend and appeal your case.
Interviews are conducted in an increasing difficulty order; we'd like to ask for you to watch your wording when it comes to answering questions. Many applicants [We have had experiencing processing as many as ninety applications within days] have commented that they wished they had been more prepared for them in advance. Use this information to your advantage.
Our Promise to You: Don't be stupid. Don't waste our time with a terrible application, whether it be lacking in detail or dripping with cop-out generalizations, and we won't waste yours - we guarantee it. Post an application you spent ten seconds on and we promise you that we will toss it in under a fraction of that time. We like to keep it fun on the Rift [trust us, there will be plenty of it] and professional on the forums.
Conclusion Our expectations are not high, if you think about it: we are looking for a fifth with an insightful outlook into a game that, to us, marries both fulfillment and dedication. We are looking for a teammate open to learning more about and embraces the game as a lifestyle that promotes character development, not just as a player, but as a human being; we are looking for a new friend whose desire to discover, analyze, and learn is limited only by their willingness to do so.
In short, we want a person who plays not to make a statement to the world, but to themselves.
Good luck and thank you for your time.
