MalloryYo any of the people who rated themselves as new to ESEA or Low-Mid open who are willing to lead, message me, I'll help you get set-up as an impromptu newbie team "drive" and I'm willing to help you through issues over the course of the season (I've lead something like 5 separate teams over two years, so even though I'm still bad at games I think I'm a pretty experienced team leader).

This is an awesome opportunity for any of you who have been on the fence about joining/making a team for esea. Mallory is an awesome team leader and I would know, having been on multiple of the teams she's led. If a team gets created out of this, I'm willing to lend my server and mumble to them since I don't plan on playing this season, nor does my mumble fill up enough usually to make adding a set of 6 or 7 players to it a problem. Do not hesitate to take this opportunity.

I'm willing to have a team use my mumble server as well, if any team is interested.

In case anyone needs a free mumble.

Me and tons of people that i know have been using it for ages. It might crash for a few minutes once every few months and you have to remember to click the battery thing to renew it every month but other than that it's a great free service.

Even if that is the case we shouldn't be expecting to rely on delays for every season.

you pretty much can tbh because the one group of people who are worse about deadlines than tf2 players are cs players

You can be the best manager in the world and still 'fuck up' if people aren't at all capable of anything but "hey play?" kind of matchmaking.

I mean with Discord these days you can practically bombard people with pings and stuff ahead of time, yet I've met people who even then somehow avoided reading half of it.

Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I've had real bad experience with people who generally aren't much for community stuff. Never posts, don't follow any on-going debate, map updates etc. If people however do, they seem infinitely more likely to actually make use of hand-holding, in which case they'd probably be thankful for someone doing everything for them.

In the end you're not there to make people enjoy playing with each other, merely give them the ability to do so. If a team runs like shit chances are it ain't your fault. If they made it to high divisions just playing games and IM'ing people, they probably won't change.

I wake up around 5:30AM and work to around 4:00 - 5:00 PM, if I was a neet I would gladly lead a team.

If some neet literally came along and was willing to lead a team FOR ME, I would literally pay for your fees and provide infinite serveme servers (as I have premium). You'd just have to bare with me because it's been awhile.

eeedon't captain if you still have problems as a player when it comes to tilting

I just cant put enough emphasis on how important this is. Having a team leader who acts like a total dumbass and yells at their team for doing something stupid (which is yes very likely gonna happen in open), then he needs his leader rights revoked :popo:

Like sure if you have beefs with team/teammates, take it outside of the game and discuss it in a civilized way after scrims etc. Screaming at your roamer for not being able to bomb in or scout letting flank loose accidentally isnt gonna help in game at all.
