Season 1 is free. Do we want IC to try to represent? Do you guys think we have what it takes to compete for real?

Discuss.

    Though I can't find it, I am going to assume that its a 12v12 league, since thats what the maps are balanced for.

    I saw this on the valve news the other day also. Schedule permitted I would be down...assuming I was wanted :-P I believe I am a pretty good Medic/Sniper/Engi depending on the level. Some organized practice would help everyone greatly. From what I read there wasn't really a time frame or even an idea of when the matches would be.

    We would need to have tryouts. If we're going to be competing for real, we have to have the best of the best on this team.

    Its good...
    :life:

    Registration ends 09/03 so lets get the ball rolling. I'm going to be on a team, I would love it to be {IC}. I guess it depends on the number of players needed but we have minimal interest here. I think we will need more then the number of players in case there is a need for a backup. That said I think we should invite other non {IC} quality players to our tryouts.

    If we are doing tryouts lets set a date. I offer and am fulling willing to take on planning responsibilities if requested. I suggest that 2-3 nights next week we set for tryouts and anyone interested show up as much as possible then the powers that be (Prime and Keebs as it may be) choose a team and backups if we get enough interest.

    The "season" starts 09/10, thats only a week after reg closes. I think we need to have a team together in the next 1-2 weeks to have a good 2-3 weeks of practice as a team.

    I'm down with that. I think we need to keep in mind Zebie, Cannon, and the others that play with us under the IC tag, but won't ever see this thread. We probably need to spread the word.

    Bobby, I'm perfectly happy letting you organize. How do you propose we handle tryouts?

    One thing that we'll need to do is actually coordinate team gameplay. None of this relying on how good each individual is. We need to actually learn to coordinate as a team, call out tactics, call out "plays" as it were, and have everyone on the same page.

    I was going to suggest putting an announcement on the steam group but one of our fearless leaders beat me to it...

    Want to form a team for the CGS Pro-Am tour?

    I was reading this: http://pro-am.thecgs.com/

    and signup is free for the first season. Do you guys want to try to form a team that could compete professionally? We'd have to seriously work on team tactics and strategy... Ideas? Thoughts? Discuss on forums: http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73081

    Not to mention how do you differentiate "who wins." If we have an engi guarding the intel room, he/she may get 6 points a round, but might be key to preventing captures. We need to find ways besides points to choose who's in/who's out. If it's a vote, it's a vote, no problem, but we should probably rank on general competency in each class and go from there, much like the TF2 awards we did earlier.

    Coordination comes with practice. As stated we need a play book. We all know the maps, we just need to set how many of each class we want for each map/round and EXACTLY what each member does on start and then strategy past that handling as many "What if"s we can.

    I think tryouts will come with numbers. If we are dealing with a 12 man team and we only get 12 people dedicated, no need for tryouts.

    List so far:

    Who the hell is "I AM SPARTACUS"? I'm talking about doing this for {IC} members :confused:

    Well ****. 6v6 blows. That's not even enough to fill out the classes, for God's sake.

    "Professionals," my ass.
