Instead of emailing applications to JM, POST ALL APPLICATION DATA HERE:



If you emailed in your app, you should receive an email back saying to post on this page. Thanks!











Quantic Gaming's academy is seeking skilled players to fill up our academy roster and will be hosting a 'recruiting' tournament. Being on the academy includes practice opportunities with the entire team, media support, opportunity to compete for chance to go to MLG/ect, and of course chance to win an A-team contract.



I would personally highly encourage anyone who has never been on a professional team before to take advantage of this opportunity. Joining a pro team's academy is a good way to familiarize yourself into what it's like to be on a pro-team, and the support system regarding tournaments from Quantic's roster and staff is critical for player success.



That being said, we expect this to be a highly competitive tournament. We are capping the total number of participants at 64, and only accepting the top 2 into the academy. Some fast info about the tournament:

-Map pool: TBD

-Date: Saturday, June 15. Time is TBD

-Server: North American





***Please email applications for entry into the tournament to dualanjm@quanticgaming.com by Wednesday, June 12.



Include in that email:

-Name

-Location

-Battle.net ID/#

-Ladder rank (include SC2ranks/Battle.net link or screenshot)

*Note: Only high masters/Grandmaster players will be invited due to limited space

**You will receive an email back with more info regarding the tournament closer to the date

(Edit: EVERY location is welcome to apply. Just note that all games will be played on the NA server)





I would like to wish everyone good luck!

Most of the players there are settled into teams and most likely wouldn't leave to join an academy. An academy's purpose is to find up and coming talent and groom it, not to seek already established players.

This.



Do note that there will likely be several challenger league players in the qualifiers. But the opportunity an 'open' (or semi-open since only accepting High masters/GM) gives to newer/less established players is critical to any team that has an academy's mission This.Do note that there will likely be several challenger league players in the qualifiers.

Lots of skilled people can do poorly on tournament or test day due to a variety of factors, while lots of unskilled people might have a good day or get lucky. With that in mind, many schools weigh test scores quite low, and some don't even require them.



Hopefully someday Starcraft teams will do the same, as being High Master or Grandmaster and cheesing (think about how Namhcir would do) everyone to win the tournament might get Quantic a winner and someone on the team, but it probably won't result in them getting the highest skilled player.

While I somewhat agree with you, at this point in time a tournament is really the only fair/efficient way for us to recruit new players. And yes, while a player can get high on ladder with cheeses/all ins, I don't think that player has a very good chance of doing well in a 64 man tournament. A ladder player is very different from a tournament player. While I somewhat agree with you, at this point in time a tournament is really the only fair/efficient way for us to recruit new players.

That being said, I would stress being polite. Some people are sure to look at you twice for being young, but as long as you act maturely you're fine. That being said, I would stress being polite.
