Severity Gaming

About Us: Hello, I am SG InsaneWind the division head of Severity Gaming League of Legends division. Severity Gaming has been around since the beginning of League. Unfortunately we weren’t really able to stick around due to a luck of sponsorship and finance. Over the course of the past few months we have incorporated a gold/plat team under our wings. It has come to my attention that I would like to push my limits as well as the organizations with a second team. A team comprised entirely of Diamond and above ranked players who have the drive and fortitude to progress into something exceptional.

Current Roster of Team Severity Gaming:

  • Top – [None]

  • Jungle – [None]

  • Mid – [None]

  • ADC – SG Alendei (Co-Captain)

  • Support – NiaLu (Captain & Shot-caller) [If anyone can call better they’re welcome to be the primary shot-caller]

  • Play Times (IMPORTANT): Subject to slight change, however, these are the ideal play times of the team. Monday – 7pm – 10pm EST Wednesday – 7pm – 10pm EST Friday – 7pm – 10pm EST Sunday – 7pm – 10pm EST *Note, We may play a little later depending on the schedules of the team players.

Team’s Goal: Ultimately the team wants to participate in a plethora of tournaments. The point of playing in a diamond and semi-serious environment is to progress as a team to something great. Trying to get into the Challenger Series is a goal far away but it is a goal nevertheless.

Requirements:

  • Age 17

  • Be able to download GameVox

  • Be able to make pretty much every practice on time or inform the team of the days you’ll miss.

  • Be able to take and give constructive criticism. [Ranked 5s are a plane to learn for tournaments and climb]

NOTE[PLEASE READ] We do not intend on holding tryouts for roughly a week due to the current holiday season before us. If we do have enough people we may, however, it will not be scheduled. We’ll likely try and hold them on December 29th and then more in early January. (Subject to change, you will be notified if you apply)

I know some people will want to apply for multiple roles, and you’re welcome to, however I will be providing templates for applications for each role. This simply seems like the most efficient way to ask questions directly to certain positions as opposed to broad questions to everyone.

  • Application for Top: Top 3 top Champions: A lot of toplaners have a couple of unconventional picks, do you have any: Current Division & Highest Division: Can you effectively teleport, be honest: How knowledgeable are you on wave control: What is your biggest weakness as a toplaner: How long have you mained top: Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments:

  • Application for Jungle: Top 3 jungle Champions: Current Division & Highest Division: Do you prefer to build damage or tanky (obviously you may tailor your build in games, but give me an idea of how you like to build if you could build a certain way frequently): How is your early pressure: Where do you like to prioritize your aggression: Are you comfortable shot-calling early game or shotcalling at all (answer as in-depth as you can): How comfortable are you in the current meta? Is it fitting to your play style? Have you adjusted well?: Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments:

  • Application for Mid: Top 5 mid Champions: Play-style, do you prefer to farm heavy and poke, or are you an extremely aggressive bursty midlaner: Current Division & Highest Division: How vocal are you during lane phase: Roaming is an important quality of mid, how comfortable are you with roaming: Are you comfortable shot-calling after late game or co-calling: Warding is an essential part of lane phase for mid, can you talk a little about how you ward or how you don’t, and how you work with what you have: Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments:

Please add SG InsaneWind or NiaLu for any questions that weren't answered in the board post that you may have regarding the team, thank you. -SG InsaneWind

Edit: Please only apply if you are Diamond or higher, this is a Diamond + team. if you are not Diamond and you apply you will be ignored.

Application for Jungle: Top 3 jungle Champions: Pantheon, Lee Sin, Jarvan Current Division & Highest Division: Currently D5, Highest D1 70 lp Do you prefer to build damage or tanky (obviously you may tailor your build in games, but give me an idea of how you like to build if you could build a certain way frequently): It depends upon the match ups, obviously. But, I prefer building more support/tanky oriented when playing ranked 5s, and more damage/carry oriented in solo queue. How is your early pressure: It depends upon the champion. But, analyzing which lanes will have harder matchups and counterganking come into play. Early pressure is fine. Where do you like to prioritize your aggression: The above answer should be taken into consideration. But generally mid/bot. Are you comfortable shot-calling early game or shotcalling at all (answer as in-depth as you can): I've been in numerous diamond ranked teams and have been the shot caller for one. I'm completely comfortable with it. How comfortable are you in the current meta? Is it fitting to your play style? Have you adjusted well?: I take several hiatus' to play other games, but always end up coming back to league. Probably played 100+ games since the jungle change and have adapted well. Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments: I don't have any obligations at the moment. I can make ANY time.

Application for Mid: Top 5 mid Champions: Oriana Syndra Zed/Xerath/Ahri

Play-style, do you prefer to farm heavy and poke, or are you an extremely aggressive bursty midlaner: I prefer both burst or poke, but i dislike trying to have both in one. The most descriptive word would be aggressive in lane /hard engage focus in group stages.

Current Division & Highest Division:Diamond 3 ; Was pre master tier- diamond 1 for a month or so.

How vocal are you during lane phase: When need be. When i have information to give, i give it. If i have a likely though i'll throw it out if noone is talking. (as in mid's gone bot, retreat, ect)

Roaming is an important quality of mid, how comfortable are you with roaming: I'm comfortable with good vision control. I feel like roaming without vision is just asking to die, but i always follow calls.

Are you comfortable shot-calling after late game or co-calling: I am comfortable co-calling. I know the basic outline of what a team needs to do win, in each patch.

Warding is an essential part of lane phase for mid, can you talk a little about how you ward or how you don’t, and how you work with what you have:

My staple buy is a pink and a green, and if i already have a pink, a green. However, if it means making a large sacrifice in lane sometimes i will forgo a ward all together. For instance, being killed and respawning with 400 gold. Or both mids backing exactly at 400 ish gold. Though normally, i'd stay for enough for 480 ~ min(for atleast a pink) but sometimes you get poked out of lane, and that's all you can do.

Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments: Perfectly comfortable.
