good leader

I hope Sidular gets a team that starts to improve. I do not know why it never goes well.

Last two seasons hardly anyone on the roster got along, to a point where we'd argue with ourselves, and just not play the game with any synergy or coordination. Nobody listened to calls because nobody respected the calls, even if the calls were good. Things just didn't quite fit into place.

This time I'm hoping to take charge, and lead the team how I want to lead it. Basically, with the idea to improve, and just have fun with players that aren't toxic or otherwise prone to removing people at random and/or throwing a match for keys. I tend to start off with this mindset each season and then move away from it as others with louder voices (and more toxic attitudes) tend to take over the general calling. Because these players are typically far more experienced than myself, I'd let it slide and just go with the flow. That never brought good results. I mean, from skateboard pete to akemi. Huge dm potential, but also huge attitudes and egos. Never personally had a big issue with skp, but akemi was... not the friendliest guy around. Hell, he ended up quitting the team for a day and removing everyone off his friends list over a fight he had with our roamer on an mge server over whether or not soldier was harder than demo.

So, yeah. That's why I'm mostly reforming the roster again, this time with actual players that are just looking to have fun. I'm going to be doing some rather odd calling and strategies, and so long as everyone gets along with each other, I strongly believe that this team has potential to be something truly great. I mean, I of course want to win as well, but if we lose it won't be the end of the world to me. I just want to give new and unique strategies a try, things i've been working on for several seasons but never had the chance to test out due to the previous rosters. I mean, my first ever season in ESEA when I went 8/8, we actually had an okay synergy, even if we didn't get along for a fair while, we worked out our differences. Every season since then? Just not able to work shit out.

And, uh. Yup, I wrote an essay. Yay.

Sid is dope someone play for this man

low-mid open team

this sid guy cant lead a team for shit and the demo is super annoying and feeds non stop

you dont want to join this team

also didnt quit this team cuz of mge it was cuz u guys didnt improve or listen lol

thought you got cut.

You quit the team twice, and yes, one was because you got into an argument on an MGE server with abridge. You ended up removing everyone from your friends list, and later added everyone back and said you didn't mean to remove them.
The second time you quit was when you tried to basically bring abridge with you. Twigs then decided to ask you to ring for us, which I straight up said no. That's when you got angry and removed everybody again. Since then, we've had zero contact.

You basically ended up splitting the team in two. Myself and abridge were the only two people defending you, but eventually I just had enough. I mean, you disrespected everybody, and actually made a ringer cry. Like, the dude actually cried because you just wouldn't stop yelling at him. I get that he was making mistakes during the scrim, and that he stayed in mumble for longer than we wanted him to, but you didn't have to go full out on the kid.

You're a good player, there's no denying that. But when half the team is constantly fighting with the other half? We lost synergy, and no one wanted to listen to your calls because they quite simply didn't like or trust you. You'd also leave mumble the instant the match or scrim was done. We'd typically stay in mumble and talk about what happened, what we did wrong, and how we can all improve together moving forward. You were never a part of those chats, because you didn't see a need to be there. You didn't help us to improve, you just expected it without putting any effort in yourself.

I'm not the most experienced leader, and I still have a lot to learn as a player. I'll be the first to admit that. That isn't to say I'm not trying. I tried to organize team talks after every match and scrim. I tried to get you into these discussions, but you'd always ignore me on steam. A team, to me at least, is a single unit of players that want to play and improve together. In a way, you were never really a part of the team. You just showed up sometimes and yelled at people, and then left as soon as we tried to talk about what we did wrong, and how to fix it moving forward.

surprise surprise, akemi lied in a thread to cover his ass

stop the presses

I didnt lie in any of that lol this guys just a retard

We're still looking for a scout and a pocket. Styles ended up quitting due to personal life issues and won't be playing at all this season, and he wasn't really upfront on who was trying out for what. So I'm kinda starting again.

The roster that we now have confirmed is

Scout: Sidular
Scout: Available
Roamer: Snorty
Pocket: Available
Demoman: Manskirt
Medic: Aqua

If anybody wants to tryout for either Scout or Pocket, send me a friend request please. Things might be a tad hectic for a while as the merge didn't go entirely as planned, so just be aware of that.
