Title says it all. There was some recent discussions from the last community night from those who would like to get serious at the game and perhaps start playing in leagues and the tone was that they would like to become better players. Best way to do that is to work towards playing in leagues.
With that in mind, I have no problem creating an open team consisting of community members here who are interested in becoming competitive players that want to play in leagues. Now, with that in mind, the current season of CEVO and ESEA already started so we would start prepping for the next season in a few months but we can always just scrim people on CEVO and ESEA during practice sessions. NOTE: This is a long time commitment as I will be very serious about this (in practices and scrims/matches) and I want the team to also be serious about improving and becoming good league players. Those who think that they cannot take this seriously should shy from signing up as I want to reserve the spots for those who want to join the team and become better.
That being said, I'm looking for those who are at least LE/LEM ranks and are in NA (preferably not west coast due to ping restrictions during league play) since that's the rank where one gets to the point where they know how to self improve and perhaps be almost ready for pug services. We would host practices on the tl community servers during the week days (save for friday which is tl community nights). Practices would be done during night time and would consist of smokes, flashes, nades, strats (a lot of dry running), and demo analysis of previous scrims to look at areas of improvement. I'll will be more strict than what i have been during community nights but I want everyone involved in the team to get good and to succeed. For those who are of gold novas and below, I have no problem helping you out with demo reviews and for getting you guys better if that is something that you plan to work towards. It's just that one has to get good himself before he can tackle league play and scrims as IMO it would just overwhelm people who still need to work onj their CS fundamentals.
just sign up for the community team if you're interested and I'll get scheduling and stuff together and we'll get started with practices right away.

This summer, I would have time to commit to improving in a team environment such as this. I'm currently MGE and I play occasionally on ESEA (although not particularly well). I really want to develop more as a player and I think many of the things I need to improve on are better learned in an organized team environment rather than continuing to play in solo games.
The community team is on CEVO, yes? I will join it. I hadn't before because Fridays are basically my work-week Mondays, and I work afternoon/nights.

rarely matches are on Friday (CEVO has them for sunday/tuesday nights and esea afaik is monday/thursday). that being said, we're not going to enter any upcoming leagues so don't worry about missing matches for now. Im just looking to gauge interest in this team/project

If only I didnt have to go into work at 5 in the morning on weekdays, I would totally be down for this! For now ill just stick to the community nights on Friday.

I'm down. I have a wonky schedule we can discuss later but I'm usually free on weeknights except Friday which doesn't matter anyway.

I'm interested, but I'm just on the edge of the skill level you mentioned (I was in MG I for all of 12 hours yesterday before I went back to Nova IV). I play a lot, and I'm working on improving (I was silver IV just three weeks ago).

Alright, added both of you guys. Do you guys want to make a skype group to coordinate practices and what not?

I think a skype group would be a good idea. I am interested in joining the team for altruistic reasons. I think you're going to need real talent.

I'm interested in doing this. It's been fun playing with most of you in the community nights and I've been looking to get more serious anyway. I have 2 accounts, one has been MG2 and is now MG1, the other is 4 stars (iirc). I already have decent mechanical fundamentals since I'm just good at gaming in general (leaderboard dota player, almost GM sc2, etc), but I really know nothing of actually playing team cs and I kind of just yolo and push stuff for no reason. Hopefully I would be able to learn that stuff and I'm certain I could be a decent player quite fast if I took this serious.
edit: PM me if you want my skype.
edit 2: scratch that, back to MG2.

I'm interested... but I'm also looking for a job as a college grad so I don't know how hard I can commit to this as of right now.
