Heroes of the Storm Forums

Team Background:

After many attempts on finding a "Perfect Team", I buckled down and decided to make my own. I was tired of the lack of effort, the lack of reliability, the lack of passion and honestly, I was just tired of the overall incompetent and toxic atmosphere most teams seem to have now a days.

Change Of Heart is a new take on a team. Where we take away the team aspect and focus on creating a symbiotic relationship with like minded individuals.
~~~
Who am I?:

I'm Pabzi (Team Manager) and I'm a highly knowledgeable Flex player with the experience (of the entire roster) to back it up. These days though, I mainly play the role of support because of how hard it is to find support you can trust your "HOTS Life" with.

I'm a Twitch streamer / commentator / writer with a background in marketing. When I'm not gaming, I enjoy practicing Improv and apple picking.

I'm also a resident and a world traveler of many other gaming scenes such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, MTG, Hearthstone, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Tekken, Smash Bros, and Starcraft 2.

(Fun Fact: Before I got serious with Heroes of the Storm, I used to be a writer Hearthstoneplayers)

What type of applicant is "Change Of Heart" looking for?:

We're looking for like minded individuals that LOVE organized team work and strategy. Individuals who live and breath E-Sports and will stop at nothing to make their mark on the competitive scene. Applicants that are dedicated to taking their Heroes beyond their limits and are ready to adapt to any situation. Reliability, reliability, reliability. Someone who can take constructive criticism and find value in improving. And lastly, someone who can maintain their composure during tough situations.

Any specific roles?

We're always open to meeting great talent, so feel free to apply if you're a dps / siege role!
Right now though, we're seeking players who are masters at playing the role of Tank and Support. A shotcaller (pref Tank) is needed before we make our move. Got awesome experience shot calling? We'll try you out and see if you'll be a great fit for our team.

What does Change Of Heart offer?

Highly competent coaching
Great Analysts
A need to establish organization and great communication within the team
A team that utilizes the actual meaning of the word
Passion for competing at the highest level of competition
Standards.

My Vision:

Attend multiple ESL tournaments
Become one unit instead of 5 different people
Study replays with our Coaches in order to find any errors or improve in areas that need improving
Develop new map strategies (My personal fav)
Challenge the meta by developing new comps (This too)
Create almost impossible standards that pushes us beyond our limits
Achieve Rank 1 consistently for each season and beyond
Achieve GrandMaster in Team League
Achieve victory, even in defeat.

Requirements:

Complete our Application Form
Rank 1 in HL, while nice, isn't everything. (At the end of the day, It's just a number. Rank 20's can easily out play most Rank 1's. Prove that you're more than just your rank and can operate well in an organized team)
At least a 3.2k+ MMR or relevant replays that showcases your internal MMR & Skill (Hotslogs is cool and all but it doesn't define a player and It's incredibly inaccurate / easy to exploit)
We Require that all Warrior, Assassin, Support or Specialist main / flex players come well prepared by mastering a wide variety of available heroes within their role(s). (no exceptions)
Able to play at least 2 different roles
Able to consistently make practice sessions
Able to consistently make the weekly meeting
Able to voice chat on TeamSpeak and be fluent in English
Pass a StormCraft Draft Test session (in real time / through a voice chat program) by explaining your pick choices, ban choices and counter strategies in full detail and go over the possible play by plays.
SELL YOURSELF!!! (Got any other skills to offer to the team? Try to stand out as much as possible!)

Schedule:

Wednesday / Sundays will be used to enter ESL tournaments
I will opt to set up scrims with other high level teams (work in progress)
3 Days of the week will be used for Mandatory practice sessions.
1 hour of the week will be used for Mandatory Brainstorm meetings, where we therocraft new map strats, possible meta shifts and new combos.
