An IE e-sports team?

[Sintrael]

Aye mon/tue/thursday (and weekends?) sounds good to me, I'm still well up for this.

You can basically take Ghost as a yes as well, he loves competative gaming

[delling]

Lamer, Sparrow!

Ok, cool.

So it looks like we'll have a bunch of B-rate DOTA players who need to get their act together to become PRO. Sounds like fun -- and sounds just like the original IE trial by fire in MC and BWL, and then Naxx

Would be nice we had the input of our pros, though (Pluug, Sparrow, Banne). You could teach us some stuff!

[ghost]

should warn you all, competitive gaming turns me into a huge rager :p

[Gozhell]

As long as the "don't be a dick" line isn't crossed I suppose being a rager is "okay". Maintaining your cool is always recommended though, you tend to be more popular that way.

[Palmar]

still no one that cares enough?

[Pluug]

I didnt read all, but who is suppose to be leading this?

[Palmar]

I think the idea was originally that one of the pros would lead this.

But given the lack of actual stepping up, i think we just need someone to say "I'll do it. I'll put down practices 2-4 times a week and pick the team from the interested people"

Delling seemed to have an interest, if he wants to do it the whole idea is his and it'd be fitting he lead it, he also has the leadership skills required. Otherwise there are several people who have shown interest who can do it.

Just need someone to say "I'll do it".

[Pluug]

My suggestion would be to set deadline untill Friday for signing in, and organise 1st game on Friday evening or Saturday with what you got.
Same like when you are building a house its important that you start somewhere!

[delling]

I am definitely up for leading the team -- but it kind of comes down to whether I'm good enough at the actual game, I think.

[Palmar]

Delling's the leader then.

Delling, now you pick a team of 5-6 out of the people who showed interest, and you tell them to show up 2-4 times a week at x time and you start grinding out games.

[delling]

Sounds good. Will flesh out the details this week.

[Fulskar]

I formally express interest in being a part of this. I realise I'm bad but I'll put in the effort and the hours to get better and I also realise there's a skill gap between me and the next best player to fill quickly, but it's a challenge I'll gladly attempt. Also I won't be available to practice until the start of April around the 2nd or 3rd, if you guys consider me. Just think of me as a bench warmer / cheerleader that comes to practice sessions for now if you like.

[Palmar]

This is the pool of players expressing interest:

Vorte
surim
Delling
Feral
Footmunch
Sintrael
Grishnag
Kili
Ghost

[delling]

Can Foot and Feral and Surim start showing up in the evenings? So we can try some games out, see how they go?

Also, I'd still like it if Tyler or Palmar or Kawe signed up. The timings on the practice matches will be fairly easy going -- and you won't have to be there for every session.
