I was on the team then, just always too scared to play so I was pretty much perma-sub. truthfully, my biggest failure as captain of TL A was not benching EzPz and Ruru due to inactivity and calling you and numbers up just to get more regular practices. le sigh, live and learn. | ||

Chrispy only plays casually any more, I never see DSC on anymore, numbers is in and out, ruru was never really able to coordinate practice times, and EzPz was basically retired by the time we hit the halfway point in ESL premier league. So @ best that's myself, Shake and ScY from the old team who would really be able to revive it. ScY's approached me a few times about forming a new team and while I have considered it, I work 8+ hours a day and get paid way too much money with benefits to ever consider pissing it away to play LoL all day and try to be a progamer. If I were 22 and just coming out of college, with the option to go on my parent's health insurance plan, it might be a different story, but @ 26 with an established career, the opportunity cost of doing what needs to be done to play LoL competitively just doesn't make any sense for me. Essentially, I reached a point in my life where I was considering what to do next and making a run at professional LoL was a big consideration to me, but ultimately I could find no way to rationalize that decision. I love games and I want them to be a bigger part of my life, but with the state of progaming being what it is right now, I'm not in the position to make the move towards progaming. | ||

I always felt like a "TL A team" as a community thing doesn't have to be able to compete with the top teams. Like as long as whoever does it represents the best our subforum has to offer and we can be fanboys I think it's a cool thing to have around. But, let me guess... you don't wanna do such a thing because IF you'd organize it you'd want to dunk everyone and their mom? =/ I guess what I'm trying to say is that no one wants you guys to sacrifice your jobs to make TL the best at League, but considering you and a few others here can smack everyone else around pretty easily it would be cool if you'd bunch together and see what you can do. :> | ||

I know what you mean, man. Gandhi and I would love to make TL B more of a force to be reckoned with. And honestly, with the people we have right now (Gandhi, Monte, JCC, Faytte, Baby Langstong, and myself) we could do it if we were able to find the practice time. But we're already running into scheduling conflicts. We're all still students (excluding old man monte), and I've got a full time internship for the rest of the summer, have to train for next gymnastics season, and play in a summer frisbee league. Gandhi/Faytte/JCC all have summer classes, and, of course, it's all staggered so we have very few hours concurrently free. Even once school starts back up, I'll have classes as well as having the responsibility as a captain of my college gymnastics team. There aren't enough hours in the day, I'm quickly realizing. I'm hoping we can settle into a schedule soon and get some practice in, because we have a lot of talent right now and I see huge potential for us as a group. But yeah, I know dat feel, gizbro, and most of TL B is only in their early 20s (again, not counting grandpa). Hopefully we'll be able to make TL proud. | ||

I'm finding it hard to stay even on cs, since I feel like he can free farm whilst I can get easily zoned through not being able to trade evenly 2v2. Bot lane I play mainly ashe and trist. Is there a bot lane pairing that works well, or is better lane management the only option? Depends on your and their support. Against blitz or leona with a defensive support like soraka on your side i find it easiest to just let them push, wait for jungler to gank, double-kill and catch up in CS while they are waiting for respawn. Just hope the jungler doesn't fail and when in doubt, notify him that you need a gank. | ||

I'll do some mix of Shen, Naut if I'm not playing him, Darius, Morg, Shaco (because fuck that guy), and then it really depends. I'll ban Rammus/Malph if we're playing AD heavy, or Kass if we have a really immobile and squishy mid and AD refuses to mid. Not to start up a Gp10 discussion, but is Kage's worth taking on any supports? I think it might be nice on someone like Soraka if you go back with an early assist/kill, but other than Morello's Tome, there's not much to build it into. | ||
