Hello everyone.
After five matches, we've had a few people that needed to go to attend to real life endeavors. We went 0-5 in that time frame - but we were competitive in all of those losses. I have made the decision to rescue the team instead of letting it die and ruining IM for everyone else (I also want to make use of league fees). With one dead team already it would completely destroy what is already a tight division if we lost another. I've always been bitching about this when other teams die - so I want to put my money where my mouth now that I'm in the first person.
Here is the team page: http://play.esea.net/teams/61594
My objective for this team is to take a bunch of "borderline" players (like myself - I have a few things I need to personally address this season within my game) and build a team that will be able to finish in the top half of IM next season. I'd also like to set up a serious schedule that includes demo reviews, match watching, and maybe some 2v2 work.
The current situation is (and I will update this as I know more):
Medic: radium
Demo: cali
Soldiers: kace, X
Scouts: corsa, cloudmaker
Backups: A few people that played in the first five matches
I've ran a team before that lasted ~2-3 seasons, so I'm not a rookie in the team-building regard. I'm just new to IM (rookie season).
Feel free to add me, and thanks for your time.

Absolutely lovely people. It would be an incredibly big shame if radium and Cali were to not come back to play.

Radium is one of the most genuinely nice people in this community. Mark my words: 2 seasons and this team will be top IM.

Radium is awesome. Easily one of the five most influential players in my TF2 experience. He's led an Open team that survived through 3 seasons full of troubles. I'm glad he's finally gotten a chance in IM, please help it not end prematurely.

The other four of us tragically burned to death in the fires of our mediocrity. Sorry team.
Anyway. It was a good run; the core members of the old roster in myself, Abramelin and LdK stuck around with this team for quite some time, for better or worse. The reality, unfortunately, is that not only is Bolwind way too good for this shitty game and went back to quake (sorry ladies) I just don't have the time or energy to devote to leaderly duties and TF2 teammembering and also generally pretty burnt out of it, Abramelin has a real job now and LdK is generally too busy with real life to give a damn. This is what happens when you grow up, kids

A few updates:
1. Shout out to Loronix and Abramelin for playing last night's match. I should be able to run the new roster for all subsequent matches this season.
2. I will only need one more scout at this point, but I already have a number of people interested for that position. I received more tryouts than I could initially handle, but I should have everything wrapped up in a few days.
3. The only remaining piece of business at this point will be the acquisition of an all-class backup to fill in during scrims. He/she needs to be able to play late nights (after our starting scout is in bed).
4. I was a little awestruck by the amount of support we received through this thread. Thank you.

10/10 Radium's a good guy who has risen through the ranks and will likely keep rising. In the past 12-16 months, my team had consistently good scrims against Radium's team at the low, mid, and high open levels, and his team definitely belongs in IM.
