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.

To apply, please fill out the one of the application form below according to which role you want to play (jack-of-all-trades are welcomed to fill out multiple applications) :

I can provide them through Google Docs as well if you have a problem downloading through Dropbox.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please do post them below or contact me directly through the LoL client (Summoner Name = WyL)

See you on the Fields of Justice.

Best regards,

Wyl, coach and manager of the team.
