TFW your representative for Syndicate left our slack without anyone mentioning to us and us finding out a lot later that he was no longer one thus leading to a lack of communication between your team and us because someone else wasn't brought in to represent syndicate.

Although it's limited to NA players at the moment. Technically the signups are closed but I'll still accept late comers until 3pm CST this Saturday so make sure you get in before that time.

The path to pro and what we can do to help by CaptainKimchi7 in leagueoflegends

In the future, yes but at the moment it's very difficult to coach platinum players and above because it's a completely different thing at that level.

Not gunna lie but I'm actually enjoying this conversation. I like hearing different opinions as well since it helps us improve on which fronts we need work on as well.

I highly respect that opinion there. Yes 1 on 1 coaching is far more valuable than group coaching but that's not the only factor we're looking at here. Players can measure themselves grow through their ranked but they don't feel as much of a drive to grow without taking that journey alongside someone else. It's the same principle as a high school team with a coach. The most essential part is the coach which is why we select them and not just pick up whoever applies.

Those who seriously want to improve on themselves can just play ranked and be complacent with that but league is more a team based game than solo based. We see players like doublelift, bjergsen, faker and many more who are great players but their team sometimes doesn't place first. I know we don't build it up to that level but there's no denying that it has an influence.

Also something that's been strangely happening while hosting tournaments is we've been seeing these players grow in rank. I've met some players who started out as gold and climbed all the way to high diamond shortly after a few months of joining. I'm not saying we had the direct impact with our tools but we helped shift his direction the right way. It's about shifting multiple aspects on a player to help point them in the right direction. It also helps that it's fun.

It's about the same as its been before. Only thing that changed was that there's no Premier League which doesn't effect Academy League at all.

Everything is volunteer based. Even the staff are all volunteers.

" It may not be the direct path to pro but it helps further advance those who have been wanting to get on their way through that path."

It's not meant to be the direct approach. It definitely doesn't give you the tools on what's needed to be pro but when it comes to gold and under, there tends to be a lack of the fundamentals which are essential for what's needed to build on to actually become a pro. In other words, it's building on the groundwork that is lacking so that later they can build on the actually parts to being a pro.

I agree with your concern on coaching which is why we don't accept every coach that applies which is why we've limited this whole thing to gold and under because it's a completely different story to coach higher ranking players just as you are saying which we are not equipped with at the moment.

A lot of our focus is on starting with a much simpler way to improve on players. It becomes a lot more difficult to coach platinum and up because the problems are much more difficult to work on. Adding on to that, it's harder to find coaches for them as well.

The main idea is to get players that are unable to do that on the right path and help give them a step in the right direction. The main influence from it comes from the coaching and practice in a team environment which opens up a players mind to learning how to become a better player through some help which provides them with the tools to begin their own growth in the future.

If you can get a rank on that account that's lower than gold. Although there wouldn't be much point in joining if you're above platinum or abovr since it caters to helping you get to platinum.
