Hello Summoners, before we get started I will get the main conditions out of the way so we can get right to the action:

  • Do not add me, I will reach out to you
  • Read the full post before applying
  • No flakes: Need longterm committment - building a team brand name

With that being said, I will move onto the rest of the information. It will be split into categories so please take the time to read each one before applying, thanks!

Schedule

Tryout Dates:

Wednesday, Mar 25th - 11:00pm EST Thursday, Mar 26th - 9:30pm EST Friday, Mar 27th - 10:00pm EST Saturday, Mar 28th - 10:00pm EST

Tryouts

Tryouts will be held in Team Builder queue, where players will pick their top champions for the role and get on TeamSpeak. Each player will get 2-3 games, and will be expected to perform their best. You cannot properly try someone out in 2-3 games but this is why I ask that you bring your A Game to the tryouts so that I can evaluate you best.

Positions will be filled first come first serve, you will know after your 2-3 games if you will be considered for the team or not. There will be no waiting for an answer that never comes. I am doing this as professional as possible.

What is Prodigious Gaming

Prodigious Gaming was a gaming community I was founding. However I've made some changes to that, the community and news network/content creation side of that has moved to a project known as The Games Nation, Prodigious Gaming is now the branch of my brand that represents all Competitive Gaming teams representing the brand/team name, and trying to grow the name to fans. Whether it be by streaming, competing in tournaments, etc.

All teams affiliated with Prodigious Gaming will earn Logos/Emblems, and other cool stuff in the future as sponsors come along and the teams compete in events and tournaments.

How to apply

To apply simply post the following application in the thread. Nothing more nothing less, I will add you the day of tryouts and if you fail to show up you will have trouble reapplying to the team or any of our other teams in the future.

Summoner Name: Generalmente Age: 17 Timezone: MST Availability: EST 8pm-12am weekdays and all weekends Location: Arizona Current Rank: P4 Season 4 Rank: G2 Role Applying For: Top/Jung Can you Shotcall: Yes Do you have TeamSpeak: Yes Top 3 Champions: Wukong, Aatrox, Shyvana (I play a ton of champs for both roles) List 3 InGame Strengths: Large and diverse champ pool, efficiency, strong mechanics List 3 InGame Weaknesses: Warding, can react slowly to things happening off screen, can be overconfident

Why should I consider you for the team: I'm dependable. After my schooling league is my highest priority and all of my free time so I will be there, I have played on many teams throughout my life and I'm no quitter, will consistently do well even if against highly ranked opponents.

Any competitive Experience: Not any esport related but I've played on a ton of 5s teams of all elos

Additional Notes: There are 8 days in the next month I will be late on because I'm in a sport but after April my schedule will really open up and I won't miss any days guaranteed.

I have a personal thing about not playing FoTM, I pretty much never play popular champs but anything the team needs can be provided by another champ I enjoy and am better at. So for top I will never play maoki or sion but if you want tanky cc top I play a mean Cho and so forth with any other champ, except Nid jung because she's her own thing you can't really replace.

Should be headed home soon. Looking forward to getting some tryouts done.

HastyApple3/26/2015, 3:04:59 AM1 votes

Just locking up now. Will be adding tryouts in the next half hour

I'm on.

HastyApple3/26/2015, 3:42:55 AM1 votes

Sounds good. I'm unfortunately wiped. I thought I'd be aware enough but I'm going to be moving all tryouts to start tomorrow night. Working a 13 hour day in a restaurant is exhausting. If you're available then, I'll make sure you're the first of the group.

HastyApple3/26/2015, 6:14:07 PM1 votes

Tryouts tonight will be on schedule!

Rasv3/26/2015, 6:41:47 PM1 votes

Do I even need to try out? :P

Summoner Name: Rasv

Age: 24

Timezone: PST

Availability: All the time

Tryout Date: Any day

Location: Pacific Northwest

Current Rank: Gold 2

Season 4 Rank: Gold 3

Role Applying For: Support or mid

Can you Shotcall: Yes, but see notes

Do you have TeamSpeak: Yes, as well as every other VOIP program

Top 3 Champions: Support: Janna, Morganna, Leona; Mid: Lissandra, Karthus, Annie

List 3 InGame Strengths: Laning mechanics, mid lane matchups knowledge, objective control

List 3 InGame Weaknesses: Bottom lane matchups, playing assasins except leblanc, If I stop caring about the game I have a tendency to blindly follow others calls and stop making calls of my own.

Why should I consider you for the team: I am willing to spend a considerable amount of effort to learn any champion the team needs if I don't already play them. I know I can handle criticism.

Any competitive Experience: I've played in dozens of tournaments with various organizations; Prodigious Gaming, DWAI, Victorious Gaming. I've been on a few ranked teams, and I actually have on stage experience in a different game.

Additional Notes: About shotcalling: I've found that if I can't take my team seriously then I can't take the game seriously. When I can't get into the game I tend to stop talking except minimal things like calling MIA. This shouldn't be a problem since you are only accepting higher ranked players. Also, most of my experience is in the mid lane but I've been playing exclusively support for the last two weeks or so. I'm willing to play either position. Lately, I've been trying to expand myself by offering free coaching to lower ranked players. If you have any interest in an amateur coach/analyst maybe I could try out for that position instead of a playing position.

HastyApple3/26/2015, 9:02:01 PM1 votes

If players are available earlier, I will be able to start tryouts around 8pm EST tonight.
