Alendei·1/19/2015, 12:03:05 AM·1 votes·664 views

Welcome to the Severity Gaming Recruitment thread. I am the AD Carry of SG and we are highly in need of a strong skilled mid laner. Below you will see our current roster as well as the requirements. Our team manager is ** SG InsaneWind ** any questions you have must be reported to him. This team will consist of Diamond only players. Thanks.

Current Roster of Team Severity Gaming:

Top – [ TheGoddessYoona]

Jungle – [Rimotrian]

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 Mid:

Top 5 mid Champions: - Ahri Katarina Lissandra Orianna Yasuo

Play-style, do you prefer to farm heavy and poke, or are you an extremely aggressive bursty midlaner: - I tend to do both evenly, I like to roam a lot

Current Division & Highest Division: - Plat 5 solo Q, Diamond 4 AP in 3v3, highest, diamond 3

How vocal are you during lane phase: - Fairly vocal, I don't usually want to be the shot caller so i try to only say relevant information, but can shot call with more practice

Roaming is an important quality of mid, how comfortable are you with roaming: - Completely, If I am behind in lane it can be more difficult depending on the matchups

Are you comfortable shot-calling after late game or co-calling: - More so for 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: - I tend to ward a lot, mostly when warding I try to coordinate when my top or bot place their wards, or coordinate with them to ward when I do so we have maximum vision rather than a few blind spots that screw someone over. I usually ward the small circle bush on either side with a pink and ask the jungler ward the opposit. Green wards if no pinks in same bush or up higher or back further if my tower is down or we are pushing for dragon control then obviously rotate wards forwards or backwards and needed

Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments: - Play times seem fine, only one I don't like is friday, I tend to do things on fridays

Top 5 mid Champions: Morgana Leblanc Lissandra Syndra Cassiopeia

Play-style, do you prefer to farm heavy and poke, or are you an extremely aggressive bursty midlaner: It all depends on the matchup. Usually I go aggressive and want to get an advantage in lane and dominate my opponent.

Current Division & Highest Division: Before season ended I was Diamond 3 78 LP, highest was Diamond 1 24 LP

How vocal are you during lane phase: I usually try to focus on my lane and will say relevant things like, mid's pushed, no flash or ignite, she/he went back, etc.

Roaming is an important quality of mid, how comfortable are you with roaming: Depends on the champion I'm playing. Usually if the team asks me to roam I will do so. I really like dominating my lane opponent.

Are you comfortable shot-calling after late game or co-calling: I can shot call, but I tend to just stick with the flow and follow through things. I can be a shot caller but I prefer not too.

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: I always get wards when I back and try to get my sweeper around 7-8 mins.

Lastly, are you capable of making those play times, would you need any adjustments: I'm on all day everyday, I have some times when I'm not on. Those will need to be discussed privately.
