Looking for Coach to Build Competitive Team for Tournaments

Kaedonshi·2/21/2015, 1:20:21 AM·1 votes·1,106 views

Hello, I'm the owner of Looking For Wins and I am looking for an exceptional individual to work with me in order to build and coach a competitive team that will begin competing in online competitions and tournaments. I'm looking for someone who is highly motivated, dedicated, and has a lot of experience with League of Legends. If you are interested in this position or would like to find out more information about the team, compensation, LFW, etc. You can email me at [email protected]. If you would like to apply for this position please send me a well written email about yourself, your experience, your availability, and what makes you a better candidate than others.

Edit: There seems to be some confusion so let me clarify. This is a Coach/Team management job. You will be working with me to hold tryouts to build a competitive team that will be competing in tournaments and will be the official LFW team. I am not a part of the team, I will be assisting you with team management, tournament scheduling, and other administrative duties. You will be working for Looking For Wins, and compensation will be offered based on the success of the team. Email me if you are seriously interested in this offer. This will be a High Platinum/Diamond and up team.

Thanks you,

Kaedonshi

Hello, names Scaythe. Been playing league since the middle of Season 2. I've watched hundreds of LCS games, played in roughly 800 normals and played my fair share of the ranked game scene.

But what I really excel at is coaching.

So far, in my coaching "CAREER" I've achieved the following.

  1. Coached a team of Bronze 4-1 players to GOLD 3
  2. Coached a team of Silver/Bronze Players to Platinum 4
  3. Coached a team of mixed Unranked/Bronze/Silver to a Second Place Finish (Lost by double elimination) in a GOLD Ranked Tournament.
  4. Coached a team of Platinum 1-4 Players. Most rewarding achievement was finding the adc his confidence and love of the game back.
  5. Coached a team of mixed Gold to Plat members to Diamond 5.

So suffice to say I know how to make bad teams well, not so bad anymore. If you feel that your team lacks coordination, continuously loses games to poor play, or you have a lack of overall team fundamentals but you have the single "solo-que" spirit down, then I am the coach for hire.

I do however, have ground rules before consideration to coach your team. A team hiring that doesn't have the passion to be a serious team, is just a waste of my time. I do not coach to be mediocre, and I don't blow my evenings away watching your replays for a team that isn't dedicated in the first place. This is a serious OFFER, not some dinky-dink casual, "well you tried, lets meet up againin a week" thing. You want to be serious? Lets get serious.

So here are my rules before I consider coaching/analyzing your team:

  • You've already completed your placement matches - just because you and a couple of shithead friends decided to make a team doesn't mean you're anywhere close to serious
  • You practice OFTEN - no sense coaching a team that meets up once a week
  • You need to acknowledge that your team needs coaching - I don't need egos, I don't do this for fun, I do this because I know how to make your team better. If I have to put up with pylons on your team thinking they don't need to be here, then I won't be.
  • Your attendance is not when you feel like showing up - Once again, casual isn't worth the effort
  • You have a dedicated CHAT service/server. I have Skype/teamspeak/mumble/vent.
  • You will not give up a week or two in. Practice and learning to be a better team TAKES TIME. This isn't a quick fix, this is for the long run. We may be sitting in Silver for months and may only get to Gold before the end of Season 5. The ends justifies the means. If your team is a bunch of quitters, once again, not worth my time.

So if you feel like your team meets these qualifications, you're ready to get up to that next level of league and be a team/player with the means to get out of ELO hell, reply below with your name and team. You can also shoot me an invite in game. Can't wait to GET STARTED!

Scaythe

**Discliamer: As seen above by my qualifications, I do not need to be platinum to be a decent coach. Any comment of how coaches can only be Diamond Soloq players is ridiculous. Don't waste your typing, don't need to waste your time.

To clarify, as a coach you will be working with me in order to hold tryouts to build a competitive team from the ground up. This is not a pre-made team, in reality this job is a team management/coach position, however I will be assisting with the team management part.

Scaythe2/21/2015, 9:03:59 PM1 votes

If you require tryout help I am able to assist with that as well.

Hi, I have no league coaching experience, but I'd like to assist however possible. I'm the assistant coach for a high-school soccer team, but I'd prefer to do E-Sports. (I'm a trustfund baby) Anyway, I wouldn't be able to offer much in the way of play tips, etc, but I am capable of dealing with players, holding try-outs, etc. I just wanted to say hello, and that I'm a helpful person, so I'd be willing to play any role required if you needed an odd-jobs-man. 18 years old, bronze 5 (hence the no play advice), and if you end up needing a coach really badly, I can hold tryouts, organize practices, etc while you find someone more skilled at league. Feel free to add me as a friend and shoot me a message.

With the creation of this team we are also beginning a LoL branch of LFW. If you'd like to get involved with that, just let me know or post on here.

hey ive played 1000 normal games and although i started league like a year and a half ago im really tactically and strategically adept if you need help building your team i can help with that and as a coach i tend to focus on the game winning factors such as objective control and warding. My peers call me "the mastermind" because of my strategics but the reason i coach is because my mechanics are only decently... not great. i can help your team get and understand for how to play out their lanes.... help them to understand metashifts.. i can breakdown the patchnotes into what it means to them and i can help them to see the great importance that comes with warding. i can also help them to understand how to play around dragons and how to setup for them. How to play out teamfights and how to play to the strengths of their comp. One of my greatest strengths is whipping up a great draft in champion select and im really enthusiastic. i know alot about each role as i basically study this game as a subject and i can work with you and your players both individually and on a team basis. i really think i can help your team out alot so give me a shot

Before I apply just a quick question to clarify. Will the coach have to find the players to tryout or will you or someone else be handling the team application process?

Kaedonshi3/22/2015, 8:04:41 PM1 votes

The application process will be overseen by the coach and I. I'd like the coach to have a say in the process and have the ability to help construct the team from the ground up.
