Coaching a team from Bronze to Diamond
Greetings fellow Summoners (are we still even called that?),
I am here today to announce that I am looking into setting up a team of Bronze players to coach them towards Diamond by the end of the summer and more ... if the will is there.
A little presentation of myself is probably required : I am a 21 years old bilingual French-Canadian who has been playing League of Legends since the very beginning of Season 1 (ayy release Xin). I am probably one of the players who have invested the most time in this game with over 12k games played since my debuts. Throughout my "career", I have been part of more or less serious teams, especially in Season 2 and 3, either as a coach, player, or analyst. I am not mechanically gifted enough to have made it to the pro scene, but my knowledge of the game is vast and that's what I have to offer to the players that will be picked.
Here are the admission criteria :
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- You must have a working microphone.
- You must create/have a Skype account.
- You must be available for practice at least 20 hours a week (probably will increase as things set up)
- Bad behavior will not be tolerated.
- Only Season 5 Bronze players will be accepted.
- Basic English. (the better is it, the greater the odds)
- You must be playing on the NA server --- Sorry EU :(.
I'll be working with these players to make them improve on their own as well as as a team. My goal is to make them reach Diamond in Ranked Team and in Solo Q by the end of the summer. I will also try to set up a streaming group on Twitch so you guys can watch our games, commentate, and give us some help/support.
Now, we need your help to find ourselves a nice name. I do have a few ideas like :
- Ad Infinitum
- Denied Instincts
- From Coal to Diamond (i'm not a Taric fan I swear)
- Dream eSports
But I'd love to see your own ideas !
This (almost) 3 months worth of coaching will be handed freely. No written contract will be issued to the players. There might be a lot of roster changes depending mainly on team synergy. 5 Mains Bronze players will be first selected, and up to 3 subs will be chosen as well.

See you on the Fields of Justice.
Best regards,
Wyl, coach and manager of the team.
