Starting a serious league team

Team Name: Personal Space Invaders Tag: (PSI)

Introduction: I have been playing league for a little over 2 years now. I am older, (32) with a wife and 4 kids, am I am looking to start a team with some friends (you all hopefully) and work together on improving as individual players and as a team.

Goals: There are several goals associated with this group effort: 1- Improve individual skills/mechanics 2- Improve Macro play 3- Learn to identify win conditions of team comps and play around them 4- Climb rank (both flex AND solo) 5- Make friends 6- Have fun

How I want to accomplish this: 1- Playing together at a regular time 3x a week (minimum) 2- Practices will include Drills, such as lane practice, cs drills, etc. 3- Gameplay analysis. 4- Ultimately, I would like to have an A team and a B team. This means we can skirmish eachother on practice nights and have at least 1 substitute for each position filled.

What I am looking for in an applicant: 1- Your solo rank doesn't matter, but flex rank needs to be Silver/Gold to make sure we can all play together. Bronze rank flex MAY be acceptable based on your current solo queue rank. 2- Dedication- I want to practice 3x a week, allowing for drills, actual ranked game play, game play analysis nights, etc. 3- Competitive- I want people who are TRULY competitive: meaning they are trying to get better, willing to take instruction/criticism, and are focused on primarily their OWN gameplay for improvement. 4- Cool headed- As well as being competitive, I want non-ragers. Part of our goal is to have fun while getting better. Getting better isnt always fun, but keeping it cool under pressure and focusing on what is next is important to growth and keeping up morale. 5- Bold- Be willing to speak up when you disagree, but be respectful and engage in the discussion meaningfully. 6- Respectful- This will be iterated a lot and I think I have mentioned it at least once already. We are all players with good and bad days, we all make mistakes. Lets try to help eachother move on and avoid childish blame games and insults.

If this is you, and you are available to play during the week around 8pm cst on a consistent basis, pls leave your summoner name and something about yourself, as well as what position you would like to play. As positions fill, I will post them on this thread. Thanks for reading, good luck on the rift!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I use Discord for chat and will be looking into a screen share program once the team has been solidified.

Update #1: Thanks to everyone who is applying for this! I promise to try and get to everyone this week at some point until both teams are full. Thanks again!

A TEAM: Top- Jungle- Apple117 Mid- Shahamut Bot- Sup- Tanyss
