Hey Rising, well there is a bit of an assumption on our part that players who are looking for a competitive team are going to already know going in what they'll likely be getting and diving into. Some of your questions are more specific but I'll answer them here as well.



We do host in-house tournaments seasonally. These vary in format but tournaments are announced in detail to our players well ahead of time within the team.



We do not require players to coach. Coaching is a personal choice done on an individuals terms and time. At the same time however, we do not coach our players. As a team that plays at a relatively high caliber, we expect players to be at the point where they don't necessarily need to be coached in the traditional sense. No one is standing behind your back rehearsing build orders with you step by step. However, our players are highly active and outgoing in the sense that we frequently practice with each other, honing our mechanics and theory crafting along the way. There are no routine or scheduled practices. Our players play with each other and practice at their own convenience. It's merely a matter of taking the initiative to ask a teammate. To summarize this little tid-bit: We're not here to hold your hand. We're here to help you improve under the assumption that you're already a well rounded player who knows what tools they need to sharpen to move forward.

Yeah



Historically speaking, we've always been a very Zerg heavy team. Oh the things I would do for a Terran player... YeahHistorically speaking, we've always been a very Zerg heavy team.
