Hello, my name is Wolfram. I am currently a 1200-1300 ranked player and I'm looking to make a team of 5 to 6 players.
My goal with this team is to improve ourselves both as individual players and as a team. We will not only create a ranked team of 5, but use the opportunity to consistently practice and debate with one another about the game.
I am looking for players with a competitive mindset and a humble attitude.
I am looking for players who are quick to criticise but never insult.
I am looking for future Challenger-tier players.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is our team philosophy, and only if you agree with everything listed please sign up:
|There is no Elo Hell|
If you truly believe you have the skills, you will understand that the onus is on you to carry. Bad players are to be expected and are to be taken advantage of. Otherwise, you accept that you are at your current stage because you do not yet have all the necessary skills at the required level.
|Mistakes are prime tools for improvement|
After any and every game you think about what you did wrong or could have done right. You then develop a solution and try to apply this to subsequent games.
|You reap what you sow|
You understand that practice is crucial to this game. You know that keeping up to date with the current meta and game stats keep you afloat, and that you must play this game frequently. In particular, you understand that innovation is god. You must be able to readily critically analyse other people's opinions, regardless of status, as well as form your own.
|Emotions make or break|
Negativity breeds hostility, and vice versa, whereas positivity breeds tenacity, and eventually tenacity breeds victory. You understand that the power of emotions is not to be underestimated and that victimisation of fellow teammates will send you on the path to defeat. Instead, you offer hope and inject confidence to failing comrades because you know it's the rational thing to do.
|You have an ultimate goal|
You don't play this game because it merely fills up your time, nor do you do it just so you can play your other-half. You play this game because you want to be in the top 100 in EUW. You play this game because you want to best Wickd's Irelia. You play this game because however ridiculous your dream may sound, it motivates you.You understand that you are currently far from achieving your dream, but whatever it is, the sole objective of this team is to act as the first stepping-stone to facilitating that dream.

I will be keeping an eye on for the next few days so please put your application as a reply to this thread. Please try not to contact me in-game as I do not accept random friend requests. Also please bear in mind that that right now the likelihood of being considered is based on your powers of persuasion. Please spend time on your application, and try to be as available as possible to play probation games upon acceptance of your application.
