http://i.imgur.com/Vk15BsS.png -----------------------------------------Welcome to Team HyperQuadrex recruitment-----------------------------------------

My name is Jacob Hale and competitive gaming has been an interest of mine for a long time. I've come to a point where solo queue is fun, but after getting a taste of ranked 5's it just doesn't compare. I made the decision with one other friend to form a serious ranked team together. Our goal is simple, to improve individually and as a team, to grow together and climb the ranks to the top. We hope to one day scrim against the pros of NA and to qualify for the 2016 NA Challenger series. We are only looking to recruit serious, dedicated, competitive, friendly players. If you're not serious about going pro and going for a long shot of making it into the LCS then this isn't the team for you.

I will be playing mid lane and my friend will be playing AD Carry. As the team captain I have a play book of strategies and strict team compositions. -Pictures of some of our scores together as proof that we are serious can be seen here-


Requirements:

  1. Gold or higher solo queue rank
  2. Availability to practice with the team at least 3-4 nights a week, in the evening PST - EST
  3. Availability to play a minimum of 20 games a week (5 or more games each practice night)
  4. Skype or Curse Voice for communication
  5. Decent mic, no background noise, echoing, static feedback
  6. Willing to listen to the team captain's and/or coach's pick requests and willing to adapt play style to fit team strategies
  7. Must not argue, rage, troll, or flame your team mates or the enemy team's players
  8. Willing to change your summoner name to "HQ (your desired tag here)" after a 4 week period, to decide if you're going to stick with the team (Name change will be paid for by team management, only if you cannot afford the name change.)
  9. At least 4 rune pages and diverse runes for every possible match up is a must, although there is no set amount of rune pages you need, more is better
  10. Fluent English speaking only, as communication is key to victory. We don't care if English isn't your first language as long as you speak properly and we can understand you
  11. Two or more years of experience in League of Legends, Sorry but game knowledge isn't something that forms over night and we just don't want players trying to learn every aspect of the game while trying to climb, we want players who already have extensive game knowledge

What we're looking for:

  • Top Laner
  • Jungler
  • Support
  • Graphics Designer (Logos, Banners, Twitch Channel Panels, Team Clothing) (shirts, hoodies, and jackets)
  • Website Manager
  • Team Coach (Must be ranked Masters or Challenger, Played since season 1 or earlier, and have previous coaching experience with reference)
  • Sponsors (Anyone willing to pay for team expenses such as equipment, team shirts, website costs, name changes etc)

If you're wanting to apply for any position please copy/paste the blow application as a reply to this thread. Keep in mind we're know that no one is perfect, we're not looking for perfect players, just players willing to improve individually and as a team. {Fields marked with ~ are not required to fill out if applying for GFX Designer or Website Manager}

Hello, I love your post and what you guys are about.I can most definitely make the time commitment and dedication you guys are looking for as its something I have been looking for in a team to want in the multiple teams I have been on. Im also a very relaxed person you can expect to never hear any raging,flaming,or any negative vibes coming from me, although that doesn't translate into my play-style as by default I find myself to be a very aggressive player ingame. I Have been playing league for almost 3 years now and a majority of that time has been in ranked 5s.I play alot more ranked 5s then I do solo Q.I can say that I know 90% of all top lane match-ups and how to play into them. All the time I have spent in ranked 5s has been in the top lane, I prefer tanky/front line champions who can start fights but I have played pretty much every champion in the game so I am comfortable playing anything you guys request of me. As a top laner I am comfortable to be left alone in the top lane and be on a "top lane Island" and have my jungler pressure the mid/bot/enemy jungle while I do my best to draw the enemy jungler to the top lane I was a solo Q singed main in season 4 and that translates into my playstyle with other champions, pressure pressure pressure , to me when I have the enemy jungler come top multiple times it means I am doing my job right. Like I said before I love what you guys are looking in players and I feel that I fit that description. Oh and my availability is 24/7 pretty much as I am taking a gap year of college so i have alot of free time.

Thank you for your time!

Of course I always want to improve on my strengths as well. ~Favorite Pro League of Legends Team from any region: SSW from 2014 other than that I just love watching support players like Mata/Xpecial so I can learn from them

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: Hello, I am a competitive gamer, had my start on MLG circuit for 3v3 arena in WoW during seasons 2-4. Since I left WoW I had been hopping from game to game for the competitive aspect, always wanting to be the best that I can be at that game. LoL was my first experience with MOBAs in general. I was instantly hooked with ranked play and needing to be the best. I learned Support from the start because my friends always needed that role, and instantly fell in love with the play style. I can make plays in team fights, peel for my carries, or lock down opposing carries, without having to worry about my dmg and having to "carry" the game. The aspect of also creating vision control of the map, to where always knowing where your opponent may be has always been fascinating to me. Currently trying to climb ladder as support is difficult after placements. So i have learned top/mid somewhat. I am a relaxed player when it comes to high stressful situations, and always keep my cool in game, even though I want to win. I just ask for a chance to try out, I have been looking for a 5s team since end of Season 4 where I can show my skill set in a competitive team aspect rather than a solo que one. So please add me if you ever want to play some games. I am almost always online.

IGN: Frattornado ~Previous Season(s) Rank: Season 2 - Gold Season 3 - Gold Season 4 - Gold ~Current Season Rank: Gold 2 Applying for position: Jungler/Top Age: 21 Time Zone: EST ~Stable Ping / FPS in game: 60 ping/ 60 fps ~Main Role: Jungle/Mid ~Time spent maining this position: I've mained jungle and mid since season 2. ~Played League of Legends since season: Season 2 ~Main 2 - 6 Champions: Jungle: Amumu, Jarvan, Elise, Top: Vlad, Swain, Renekton ~Champions despise to play against: Azir, Reksai ~Strengths as a player: I'm really good at calling plays. I don't know your teams preference, but usually when I'm jungling with friends I'm calling the plays, deciding which obejctives to take, and where we should be on the map. Really good map awareness. ~Weaknesses / What you'd like to improve on with the team coach: Kind of goes hand in hand with my strengths, one of my weaknesses is getting upset when people don't listen to calls. It's a team game, and I hate when people don't play as a team. I just pinged bot lane 8 times to back off because I saw their jungler, yet you're walking to turret. You just gave their ADC 2 kills because you got ganked. I wasn't pinging because I like the sound it makes. ~Favorite Pro League of Legends Team from any region: Don't really follow pro teams, but if I had to pick it would be TSM because I'm constantly using their site for counter tips.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: My name is Devin and I'm a senior in college. In a couple of months I'll be graduating with a degree in Psychology. Season 5 is the first time since season 2 that I'm legitimately playing ranked. Season 3 and 4 I only played to get placed in gold and get the victorious skins. I don't why I didn't like playing ranked but I just didn't. What changed for me was during preseason for season 5 I would play a normal, and every game would have the most op champ on the enemy team. Whether it was WW when he had the 70% win rate (never forget) or a Fizz that would one hit our adc, then two hit our tank. I got tired of people playing the FOTM champs, so I started playing ranked so they would be banned.

My placements for season 5 I didn't know what I was doing. To be honest I was kind of scared to play, and wanted to be safe so I'd pick bot lane so I wouldn't have as much pressure in my lane, and I was hoping that my teammates would carry me. Oh boy was i wrong in thinking that. After going 3-7 and getting placed in silver 4 I thought it was time to man up and take on the role of carrying my team. Jungling is normally my favorite role, mainly because I can have so much map presence. The problem is that when you're playing with random people, none of them want to listen to the jungler. They ping dragon, I say no 50 times because I don't have smite, they do it anyway and then blame me when the enemy team smites it. Then they go 0-4 and blame me for not ganking, when all of their deaths are past enemy turret because they pushed too hard. Another problem I had was that I consider jungling a support role. I don't like being the most fed person in the game when I'm jungling. I'd rather help every lane and get them fed instead, and that's what I liked doing. It's hard to cooridnate that in solo queue. So what I did was started playing mid. I figured if I couldn't rely on my team of random people to cooperate I'd just make plays by myself in mid lane. So if you look at my match history, you'll notice almost all of it is in mid lane.

I know I'm not perfect. I know there are things that I can improve on. Things that really get under my skin are people who think they're challenger tier in games. When our irelia goes 0-4, the people who are like "omg you suck stay in bronze you're shit". This isn't constructive, and it makes me so mad because these people act like they go 30-0 every game. Everyone has bad games, and I always keep that in mind when I'm playing.

If you're looking for someone that's very adaptive while they're playing, great at listening to calls, and great and making calls, then I'm you're man.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) In July last year I decided to apply for the League of Legends team at Robert Morris University. The coach had me do a publicity tryout and liked what he saw. I have never really been all about solo q. Just got placed Silver 3 last week and climbed back to Gold V. Right now I'm on the fourth team at RMU and have practiced for 16 hours a week since August in only ranked 5s. So I'm looking for something that is purely team based and not solo based. League is the only game I play. Im available at least 5 of 7 days a week. I also need to point out I'm going through an obsession phase with Sion. I am very sure he is the best top laner right now and I now a high level analyst that says I might be right. So be ready to run the tankiest champion in the game lol.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: I'm a college student who started playing LoL my freshman year of high school, I've been looking for a team to play with since season 2 and none have really worked out in the long run. I'm a great team player, I'm friendly and don't get angry very often and just a straight up chill person. I;m sort of quiet until i get to know people a bit and then I'm pretty talkative. I've played in VG tournaments about 5 times got 1st and 2nd and then the other 3 times i didn't get a prize. The majority of the time my adc and I win the lane, my motto in LoL is "I can carry bad people, but not stupid people" meaning if your bad and just play safe I can carry to a certain extent even at the position of a support. I'd be super stoked to be on a competitive team and look forward to a response.

Thanks for your time, Drug

Hi, I am an active gamer as i have been playing games since the game boy color. I only gotten my first gaming computer when i was around 2010, and before that i played alot of Call of duty on the ps3. I havent really gotten into computer games until my friend introduced me to Starcraft 2, where i eventually made it into grandmaster before quitting when the H>O.T.S expansion came out. I then switched to LOL, and fell in love with it, as there were so many different champions you can player rather than just 3 races. When i played ranked, i started off as a jungle main, cause it was easy as i like to gank and roam. But then i changed to a support main because i was really aggro and i was able to hit my combos easily and peel easily. I also like vision and objective control so i would always ward and tell peopel to ward. I am a chill person hoping ot join a ranked team and just help win some tourney if possible. So just add me and le tme know. I am online mostly

I would apply because I like that you are serious and want to get a coach but something seems off about this post.

As of right now it's just you and your friend on the team but you have really high expectations such as team coach must be "Master/Challenger, have previous experience, and must have played since season 1". Additionally the requirement to change the summoner name to have the HQ team tag seems unnecessary, especially for people with rare summoner names like myself. Lastly the 300 character minimum player bio is unnecessary in my opinion. I can understand how a character limit can help weed out people who aren't dedicated, but some people don't want to write out their life story to strangers. Instead I think a character limit on a question about something game related such as "tell us what you think the meta is and why it is" would be more appropriate.

I would really like a team with reliable leadership and a support staff so that I can just focus on playing with the assurance that the team will stick together. I don't want to put my trust in one individual because often people change their minds randomly or quit when things get hard.

Kind of a long post but I hope where you can see where I'm coming from as a practical player who is experienced with the team forming process.

Thanks for your concerns Poetic, I'll try to address them one at a time, We have high expectations for the team because we know we're serious about the team and want serious players as well. I'm willing to sink a lot of my free time and money into this team to insure the best possible outcome. We only want experienced coaches of high rank to ensure that our players are getting exactly what they deserve, top notch coaching. Right now we have a diamond 5 coach but we're looking to replace him when we find someone who we see fit. As for the players being required to change their name to include the HQ tag, it's something we thought long and hard about. We want players to be able to rep the team even when solo-queueing. We understand some players have rare names such as your self and we're hoping you could take that name on a smurf account to still own the name. We just want our players to be able to show how serious and dedicated they are to the team. All pro teams have players with the team tag in their name and that's our goal too. The team may not be for everyone, we understand if people don't want to change their name. Maybe you have a smurf account you could play on and change your name to include the HQ tag? The 300 character limit isn't much it's about a paragraph and we aren't exactly strict on the characters in the bio, we just wanted players to understand to include more then just one sentence about them selves. While short and sweet is nice, we also want to be able to know a little bit about the player before considering if we want to give them a chance at try outs. We fully understand wanting to be on a reliable team that you know won't disband, that's why we want to be able to ensure to our players that we are serious and that we will be around for a long time. One way or another I will make this team work. All teams have their problems at some time or another I'm sure I will have to find new players for the roster along the line when people quit the team for what ever reason but I'm willing to stick with the team and ensure it's success. Thank you for taking your time to express your concerns I hope my reply helped you understand where we are coming from, and yes we can definitely see where you're coming from as a player.

Bio

Been playing league ever since i was first getting into video games, my friends were all competitive games so if i didnt step up i would of been left behind. Thus i picked up playing league, ever since then i have strived to improve my play. I like to watch esports, league taking number 1, but i will watch smashbros and star-cart every once in a while. Dont have a girl friend and my friends are all busy working and have school, so i have a lot of time to play league. Currently working mornings 3-6 days a week, trying to become a manager at the restaurant im currently employed at. I like to think im an enjoyable person once im known, but i can be slightly shy to around new workers, friends, teammates until i learn everyone's personality.

Additional comments,

This season I feel more motivated then i ever have in the past. I want to prove that i can take my play to the next level and continue to grow. Most of the teams i have played for in the past have felt strong early on, but always died off. This will not happen with me on the team, i wont let it, im tired of having this happen to me. Keeping spirits high is something I achieve with any team i am on from this point forward. I am very dedicated and willing to go the distance as long as 4 other people are willing to do the same.

Been playing this game for a long time and loved it since before playing it in season 1. From playing over 7000 games you come to realize that even though there are meta picks and meta builds there's always a little room for individualization. Never really tried to main something to try and climb, was always one that allowed others to play what they liked and so I could get practice on all roles and have a wider view on how the game works. By playing anything anywhere anytime I come to understand the limits of a lot more champions than people who just main a couple of champs. Supporting and Jungling has been funner for me because I am able to play the map and make that early playmaking/impact on the game to allow the carries to carry with ease. I don't need to take the spotlight as long as I feel like i have contributed to the carry being able to carry me. I love theorycrafting and spending lots of time discussing and analyzing why one build or one matchup works the way it does, and also having an open mind and seeing what others think the right way to play the game is.

Always playing to win, but also playing to have fun. Winning without having fun is not fulfilling, having fun without winning is a lack of drive.

Since I am a working adult, I have no class/school obligations after I am done with my work in the day, as soon as I'm off work I'm free. Weekends are free of studying/class obligations.

On the other hand, C9 and their gorilla tactics are so entertaining, every match C9 lost in 2014 were my favorite match to see because of how C9 are creative at gaining back objectives while behind.

bio

Hi my name is Yan Kuch, I am 20 years old I live 20 minutes from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I played starcraft brood war competitively on many occasions and switched to league of legends as I entered college, I have been coaching league for a few websites and gotten amazing insights from those I coached (I was moved by some of them and even considered pursuing my studies to become a teacher later on because of it) what makes me so different then anyone here is my objectivity on the game, I question everything up to the very basic stuff we do. For example I level up spells when im about to use them and not when I level up as a champion, so the interval between which I level up and actually use the spell is still open to reconsider if I really have to level up the said spell, whereas other player will level up their spell right away. It has saved me often from ganks and such (riven top lvl 5 gets ganked, put an extra point in E and survive with low hp) what I like most about league of legends is how we ignore more than we actually know about the game­. We are driven by a meta because it is better then not being driven by one, but understanding where the meta comes from allows us to play around with picks which are otherwise unorthodox. My dream is to inspire other players with my unique play style; I want to be the one at the top, leading the meta myself, and as a team. I look forward to having fun with Team HyperQuadrex.

It's refreshing that I can have a mix of the two and be on the frontlines, while helping my team or casting shields and heals in the backline. I'm an extremely friendly at at times I can be funny, I have wanted to go Pro ever since the first time I watched an LCS match, I went "Yep, that's what I want to do" The best thing I could recommend would be to just add me to a skype call, I could go on and on and on for days about the things i've been around for in league. and as a added sidenote i'm a good cook and I'm certified in adobe CS3, CS4 and CS5 Photoshop. Picture proof that i've been around as long as I claim.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: I've been playing MOBAs since DotA 6.19 ~11 years now, I was always one of the better players in wc3 in pub games, never really got into any organized scenarios for DotA. I switched to LoL in Oct 2009, I played it for a while and then went on hiatus for about a year until ranked became a thing, because the MMR system was virtually non existent and nothing was really challenging. I've dabbled in a few other MOBAs but none really interested me, so I stuck to LoL and decided to focus on getting better at it. I've progressed significantly every year. All excuses aside I was Bronze for S1, Silver S2, Plat S3, and Diamond S4. I'm aiming for challenger this year, you know what they say, shoot for the stars, aim for the trees. As per my schedule, I'm quite flexible. I get home from school decently early and have Tuesdays/Thursdays/Weekends off. I generally play more than my fair share of games in a week.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: Well im from alabama. I tried league all the way back in season 1 but it was just a game here or there. I didnt really get into it til season 2 and thats when my leveling and then ranked games began. It has been a great experience with many ups and downs but all worth it. As far as what i think can win games i feel that the more CC typically the better chance you have at winning a game and my champ pool does, for the most part, fit that play style. The i personally believe that the three biggest stats in the game are wards placed, CS, and towers/inhibs . If your warding your helping your whole team out to know who is where and what objectives are up. Good cs works but great cs will win games. And with towers/inhibs im sure at one point and time weve all been in that game where your winning in kills but lose the game because the other team just split pushed way better than you did and won the game because of it.

** Player Bio -300 characters minimum-**: I've been playing League for a long time, mostly throughout college semesters (which have ended now due to being short on money) and high school. I spent a majority of my time originally playing within Twisted Treeline, but after the first year of playing, I entered into Season 1 ranked play mostly as a support player. I transitioned over to mid lane and had good success. I played through Season 1 at gold ranking, same for Season 2, but in Season 3 I achieved Platinum. This season with the promotional changes I dropped down to gold 3 due to 8 games during my promotional, with 5 trolls and 3 AFKs. Currently i'm grinding my way back up into platinum to where I can focus again on my improvements in-lane with favorite champions. I've got a bit of a country accent, since i'm from Kentucky. I had picked up the name Azukoto from a bunch of old friends, it's kind of hard to explain though, but most just call me Oz. I enjoy competitive gaming, and i've been considering finding a team, and it'd be good to try it out and see how well it goes, since i'm good with cooperative teams.

My first ever competitive game i played was halo 3. I then started playing COD competitively in tournaments and on MLG sites.

been playing since season 3 and started out very bad but with hard work and dedication I've made it to plat and and no on my way to diamond.

i play a few of VG tournaments to get free RP and i hardly ever get below 3rd when i play so i have experience with a team and my communication has gone way

up from when i first played. the one thing that everyone knows me for is that im always in it to win and i always play my hardest no matter how far down or how

grim a game is i rarely give up hope and im the most competitive person, in LOL and in sports, i have fun winning and winning is the only thing on my mind.

Well... I tried to make a team, I made a logo and everything for it. I went all out, but the teammates let me down, so I know what you mean. I have been there. I also hate how they rank people in Solo/duo. I am always stuck in bronze, but EVERY game I play, I come out positive. I carry every game, I am a main mid. I use zed, Leblanc, annie, ahri, kat, kassadin, and sometimes heim mid. People get so mad at me when I play because they think I am a platinum player on a smurf account. When I am really not... I just play smart. I even win against champions that counter my champ. It's all about playing smart.

Reason why I want a new team: I am tired of looking, I am tired of losing because of my teammates being toxic and/or trolls. I want to take this game seriously. I am a gamer. And that's what a gamer is supposed to do.

Proof: You may check all of my match histories. Look at my K/D. Or you could just try me out and I am 100% positive that you will like my game play. Put me up against the best of the best. And the game will be ended in a Victory by me.

Im constantly improving as a player in order to overcome any weaknesses. ~Weaknesses / What you'd like to improve on with the team coach: Perfecting my mechanics and I need to be abel to not be on tilt in order to cloud my judgement in game ~Favorite Pro League of Legends Team from any region: TSM BAYLIFE! CALI LIFE!

Player Bio: My roommate in college introduced me to this game our freshman year when I was 18. I have pretty much spent my entire life playing video games from various consoles. My favorite video game series is still The Legend of Zelda and nothing can compare to that LOL After the Wii I got an Xbox 360 and spent countless hours in highschool playing Call of Duty with friends. I loved the competitive edge of CoD and played on various tournament teams throughout high school. I never understood how to play League at first, but once I started maining Pantheon when I joined in S2 ( ahri was the champion that just had come out) I finally could understand the certain aspects of League of Legends. I love playing this game because of how much depth there is into being great at it. I enjoy the sport aspect of it and continue to see it as a sport. With more practice to sharpen my mechanical skill and the help of a coach to resolve any weaknesses, I know i can be a valuable asset to any team:)

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: I'm a Diamond 5 midlaner currently, that also coaches. I'm the #1 rated coach on lolcoaching (http://www.lol-coaching.com/coach.php?id=24404) which has more then 12,000 unique coaches and over 27,000 unique students. I'm a charismatic person when coaching, but stern when it comes down to what my student needs to improve on. Currently I have helped over 90 people and still going strong. I have had multiple offers about coaching ranked 5's teams that are going into the Challenger league, but I would want to see what this one could offer.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: I am 22 years old, male, and have been playing League since October of 2011. I have watched numerous videos and streams from different players over the years and have learned much from each of them; I think it is important to know the other roles nearly as much as the role I main so I can have more in-game knowledge overall. I spend most of my time playing League and have always wanted to be more competitive with myself. I always play to win and to have fun, but playing in a serious way has always been more exciting to me and would love to be apart of a serious team. I am more than willing to put the time needed into this. I have always wanted to be part of a team looking to go farther and want to make a name for themselves. If there is anything that I may have missed I apologize, but I am more then willing to commit to this. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have of me or if I have missed something.

Applying for position: Top Age: 21 Time Zone: PST ~Stable Ping / FPS in game: 30-50 ~Main Role: Top ~Time spent maining this position: Season 3 I did a lot of mid but I haven't been keeping up with my mid champs 4th or 5th season. I have been solely playing top lane and a bit of jungle. Half of season 4 and all of Season 5 playing top. ~Played League of Legends since season:I have had my accounts since League first started up but couldn't play at first due to lag, I waited a year or so and then started playing. I started ranked in season 3. ~Main 2 - 6 Champions: Gnar, Lissandra, Ryze, Vlad, Irelia, Cho'gath, Maokai. I can play a lot of top lane champs. ~Champions despise to play against: I don't care to play against Riven, Fiora, or irelia.. But if anyone goes Riven I just go Liss and extremely easy counter. Fiora is a pain since she can dive at lvl 6 easy. ~Strengths as a player: Cs is usually pretty good. I focus good in team fighting. I do not like being camped by enemy jungler.. so usually if the jungler comes and feeds the enemy a kill top lane i'd let them push and maybe get a gank top lane to put me back even with them. ~Weaknesses / What you'd like to improve on with the team coach: I guess I am a bit over aggressive/greedy sometimes. Perhaps timing as well. ~Favorite Pro League of Legends Team from any region: I like Elements, used to like Curse. TSM/C9 too.

(Tell us your story, what you think we should know about you) Player Bio -300 characters minimum-: Well I am Darian, I am from Las Vegas, I have been playing league for quite a while. I have played a lot of other games as well. I am just looking for a serious competitive team. I really want to climb 5's ladder to high rank/elo. I want a team I can practice with and we get better. Not a team where we're going to run stupid things and play just for jokes. I have been on a ranked 5's team before but I left because they run stupid things and I just couldn't deal with the jungler on that team. I used to watch streams back in season 3-4. I would watch Voyboy, he's my favorite streamer.
