I'm Putting Together a Team of the Best*... (*Capped at Gold 1, Floored at S5)

The botlane is spoken for. The rest? Well, I'll let the tryouts be the judge.

You won't need inhuman abilities, but I do expect a baseline of effort to be put into it. We'll have a schedule, which we'll set in stone later, but this is what it may look like (If you can't make anywhere near these times, be sure to let me know before your tryout):

S: Team Practice 6 PM - 10 PM CST (Earlier or later, depending on work schedules) M: At Will Solo/Duo/Flex with the team T: Team, 7PM - 10 PM CST W: Team, 7 PM - 930 CST Play, 930 - 10 PM CST Reflect upon our matches T: At Will Solo/Duo/Flex with the team F: Off S: At Will Solo/Duo/Flex with the team

The Why:

In the world of teams and flex, it's a wild world. It's difficult to find clever people, devoted leaders, and a team dynamic that bodes well for playing.

I can never find a team with leadership or structure that suit my needs, so I tend to strike out on my own. I've been playing for 6 years, and I have ran several teams (and played on them) in that time. As my time on League picks back up, so does my interest in putting together a roster.

The How:

To join the tryout list, simply put your first name, IGN, and preferred roles down in an email along with an honest self-assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. Send that email to [email protected]. That's me, by the way. I'm Tyler. Nice to meet you.

This tryout will be for 1 each of 3 roles: Mid/Top/Jung. You will be expected to use Discord with a microphone, but you will not be forced to shot-call or even to "be sociable" with the team. Just do what fits you and gives us an honest impression of you. We'll decide from then. The best performances based on several criterion (the least importance of which is pure gameplay mechanics) will get offered a spot on the roster. If turned down, the second will be offered, then so on.

Be sure to include an interesting bit about yourself. You'll be asked to share this with the team an "icebreaker" sort of exercise.

I will be hosting tryouts at 7 PM CST on Thursday, 3/1/18. Additional tryouts will be held on Sunday leading up to practice, 1 PM 3/4/18.

Comments keep this thread alive and increase the visibility and longevity of the post, so please ask questions about the team/schedule/champions/etc. that might have otherwise kept you from replying.

eliteomega analyst i dont wish to be a jungle,top,mid,adc,or support just looking for a team to analyze

Ign: Mizupin Role: Top/Mid/Support

I am currently at Silver 3. I'm a Chogath main or as you may say a 1 trick Chogath . I find more success on the toplane over the midlane because of the bushes on the lane (I am cheesing). I build item 3152 first because i need that dash and burst kill for my stacks then transition to tank items for late game. I am running a spellbook so you can expect me to rotate or tp gank after i got my ult.

I dont check my emails that much tho so, Is it ok if im posting it here? Add me if you need a toplaner :)

Don't forget to leave some details about yourself (try to focus on your shortcomings and exceptional aspects as a player)

For instance, I've been overstaying after objectives fall or in lane to try to push my limits and dying. I do have decent ward coverage and map awareness though, so there's room to improve.

Is that team only in the NA region? Not using the boards very often so no point to flame me

Ign: Svennebanan, BergqvLst ("BERGQVlST") , NA Skylit Role: Mid & Jungle

I am currently unranked in flex on my main & played about 12 games on my alt's currently sitting at silver 5 or higher, but if its any consolation in soloq i was dia 3 s7 & plat/diamond s3/4/5 & currently plat 2, since i moved from euw to na at diamond 4 i was dropped down to plat 2. I main Syndra,Xerath,leblanc & zed/yasuo but i wouldnt go for those picks in anything but soloq.. I mostly just use those to climb low elo since they are easy to close out games with during lanephase . Im a passive aggressive player & always roam + pressure lane looking for kills & early snowball.. I excel with mechanical & skill shot champions

I literally never check my email, but im willing to leave my discord & ingame usernames here & ^

IGN: RiseofMe S3 currently, im unranked in flex but its because i want to find a team where i can improve and climb with others, not alone. I play all roles, its not like basic knowledge, i think i have more than just basic knowledge for each role so thats why i usually go fill cuz i cant pick a main or 2 roles even and since im good in all roles i like to switch it up. Im an aggressive player whichever role i play so that's sometimes a weakness and a strength. But mostly a weakness, i need to know when to back off. I have pretty good warding, usually the most on my team, whichever role. I dont really talk much, but i still have good communication skills even when not talking.

The tryout is shaping up nicely, and I have at least 1 for each role. Any redundancy to the tryout is still welcomed.
