I don't understand why you would just replace Geosus with fathom as if I had just written the wrong name, neither argo nor I intended on putting geosus at #2 pyro

if you wanna be accurate, remove him and move everyone up, and put milkman at new #5

I tried to say this in the first post, if it didn't come off as clear I apologize

whether this team is a thing is very dependent on who we get to play

Yo, so myself and the ~brothers Campbell~ have decided to band together to make a team with the goal of winning main and moving onto invite next season. We're looking for very strong players who are dedicated to improving and ready to learn.

Current roster:

Medic- Nosferatu
Pocket- Swarth
Roamer- ???
Demo- me
Scout- ???
Scout ???

This team is very much a tentative thing, as we only have 3 members and registration ends so soon, so if we can find good people asap that would be awesome! If not we'll prolly just dissolve, but no worries, shit happens.

We've only played together once, but I think it went fairly well, here are logs if anyone is wondering what lineup we used then:

We were going to just try to talk to people over steam to get recruits, but that strategy has proven to be fairly difficult, so here we are in public.

If we get the exact right mix of players I'd consider making a stab at invite, but that's most likely not going to happen of course.

We'll prolly play 3-4 days a week, from like 9 est to 11:30 or 12 est.

different people did the rankings and the writeups, that explains the disparity there

no one uses ventrilo anymore from what ive seen, in some games ts and mumble are split and in others I think its more of one than the other

tf2 is a mumble-centric game tbh

I just dont understand why itd be "someone else's invite roster" when it has players from the old team on it

what are you talkin about?

the only rules I see are these:

"For divisions above Open, excluding Invite, for a team's spot to be maintained between seasons, a team must have 2 players who participated during the prior season (through playing a match) on the roster at the close of registration. Failure to do so will result in a demotion to Open.
For divisions above Open, excluding Invite, for a team's spot to be maintained once the regular season begins, a team must use 2 players per match who participated during the prior season (through playing a match) in 3 out of the first 4 matches played (i.e. not including forfeits) of the season. Failure to do so will result in the team being removed from the League and any matches played after the 4 match probation period will be overturned."

so EVEN IF I have 2 people play for 3 of the first 4 games, an admin can subjectively determine that I am "roster hijacking", and that I should be being super nice to that guy as a result???

when my team turns out to be clearly good enough, hopefully you will not deny me the roster over petty bullshit

im just gonna put it out there

any roamers/scouts that want a nice main team? add me

:>

I havent made a real thread bc there are certain people on the team who arent 100% sure on joining and dont want to give tryouts false hope that theyll be playin

I don't want to get into a ton of stuff that has no place in a looking thread, so I'll just say that I really appreciate this

what a coincidence, I think the same thing

that's not true what about combattoast...ok ur right

we are liiive

UPDATE: the stream is at 9:30 est, on the stream of my good friend Hard Ass Johnny

be there or be quadrilateral negroes

yo, so I've wanted to mentor people in hl for a while, both on general team dynamics/main calling and as demo in particular. however, I've been too busy as of late. thus, I decided the easiest solution would be to review my own pov demo from a recent scrim vs. 6/9 of bpm (http://sizzlingstats.com/stats/61865) to explain both my actions as a demo and my thought process when calling.

I don't have a stream of my own because my internet is too bad, so I'm gonna find someone else to stream it. It will probably be in like an hour or two, I've gotta figure that out as well.

If it goes well I might try it again, only with user-submitted demos.
