Great question! We are looking for at least platinum and above for our scholarship positions, even though we realize that rank does not mean everything when it comes to team play. With that being said, we also have a club team on campus right now that will be available for lower elos. Just because a player might not be good enough one year does not mean they cant keep trying out to make the team! Hope this helps!

I agree to a small extent. But in my opinion, rank is a great way to tell what a player is capable of and should be taken very seriously. I personally think Plat is a little generous to offer a full scholarship but that, as you said, allows lesser skilled players to grow into a higher elo player and make the team later on.
Although I feel I am a tremendously stronger team player, my solo queue game is right at Gold 1/Plat 5 level and I would like to improve a lot further before pursuing a scholarship. I imagine next season I should be able to hit high plat/mid diamond though, but we'll have to see!
Thanks for the feedback! I will now begin looking at the school and exploring your website! :D

Thank you for the response! We want to make it clear that we do take rank very seriously, however we do realize that there are other skills that are extremely important when it comes to team play. We will award scholarship amounts on a person by person basis so we would not just being handing anyone plat and above a full scholarship.
We believe our program will be able to grow players' skills and get them to climb in rank.
We wish you the best of luck on your solo queue climb! Also stay tuned for our new eSports website coming soon!
