Looking for SUPPORT for UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, Read Inside!

GlitchZero·12/21/2015, 4:24:15 AM·1 votes·1,049 views

Hi there, my name is Glitch, I represent the LoL team for Sway Gaming. We are in the process of restructuring our roster, and applicants that really fit what we are looking for will be contacted and we will inform you to our current situation and goals.

I'm really looking for a support I can grow with. I am a relatively quiet, aggressive push ADC player in lane, so I'm looking for a support that can match that early aggression. Some of my weaknesses are vision control and side lane pushes in the mid game. What I'd really like is a support that can help shore up those weaknesses as a player, and be the other half in my lane to make us unstoppable. Someone vocal that can guide me to better choices, but also watch my back and keep me safe to the best of their ability.

We are looking for players Plat 5 and above. The reason for this rank requirement leads into why we are recruiting; our team will be making a run to get into the House Party 5v5 Minor League early this January. For those of you that may not have heard about HP5v5, they are a very successfully run "LCS for the rest of us" with a flourished 10 team Premier League, and a 10 team Minor League that could use some more consistent, dedicated rostered teams to help elevate the teams currently participating into a more active state.

For this reason, we are looking for equally dedicated players to fill the rest of our roster to make this run into the Minor League (competition is stiff) and help us grow into a great team to make the Premier League for their next season.

Applicants that main the roles we are seeking will have a higher priority for tryouts than those that do not, but I will do my best to reach out to everyone that applies. Players over 18 will receive priority over those below 18.

Current Roster:

  • Top - OPEN (???)
  • Jungle - A Social System (Plat 5)
  • Mid - xForged (Gold 3)
  • ADC - GlitchZero (Plat 4)
  • Support - OPEN (???)

And Subs:

  • Sub - OPEN (???)
  • Sub - Southside Vike (Gold 2)

In terms of communication, having a smartphone is mandatory, as we use a group chat app to communicate outside of League. A Twitter account is also mandatory for organizational purposes.

Practices are from 8pm EST to 12am EST 4 days a week depending on work schedules / availabilities - usually Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. We also play in a handful of online tournaments, which are usually Friday nights / Saturday all-day events. Please do not post if this is not possible for you.

We are seeking highly committed players, and overall do not have an excessive practice schedule. If it is outside of your availability, please do not fill out an application. We do not place members on roster based on skill, but overall synergy with the team, and how well communication and play style fit with what we’re looking for as a team.

I am interested in people who are strongly committed to improving themselves and improving as a team, and if this sounds like you, I strongly implore you to fill out this application below so we can get you involved as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far, and if you have, please include the word 'starfruit' somewhere in your post. ;)

It's a bummer that the requirement is Plat V. You're gonna miss out on a lot of under-ranked, great players.

Yeah I gotchu. Been Silver 1 for a long time, just waiting to rank again once season 6 starts. Mid is my favorite role, but support is my best. We'll see what happens. Sounds like an awesome thing to be a part of, though, that's why I commented.

Summoner Name: Darwin Award Age: 24 Tier/Division: Plat 3 Position: Support (Exclusively) Main Champion: Thresh Secondary Champions: Karma, Janna, Alistar, Morgana, Shen Why do you want to join the team? Looking for proper management and a cohesive structure that's in it for the long haul and not going to disband over night. Looking for a group that puts in what it expects others to put out.

I am extremely objective and will look outside the box both in game scenarios (comps/champs/items/theory crafting) as well as outside. List off a known weakness you'd like to improve on: Over aggression in lane (seriously, it can be pretty bad!), can shotcall but would better suit as a secondary/backup.

Clear microphone with minimal background noise: Check. TS/CV/Skype included.
