Asia/Australia Players Looking for Competitive Team

(1/5) > >>

Gadzoooks:
My friends and I have been playing this game for a while now and we're eager to enter the GoI competitive scene, but we have no idea what it's like over there, nor do we have enough players as of now to form a team for ourselves. We're wondering if there are any competitive teams recruiting within the Asia/Australia areas, and if so, we'd like to join you guys as a crew.

Our current roster is a small group of 5 players, 3 of us have prior experience in competitive gaming in a few seasons of Team Fortress 2's UGC league and we can generally work under pressure. We also make heavy use of Mumble for in-game communications, and we operate from our own Mumble server. We are currently based in Singapore, timezone at +8GMT.

If there are any other questions with regard to any qualifications that I might not have mentioned, do ask! I am  contactable over Steam at ryaneyj, or through pms.

Squash:
I'm not sure about recruiting, but Ducks have 5 Australian players which I'd wager is more than all the other clans combined.

Sammy B. T.:
Are you counting yourself as Australian these days? I mean your sleep hours mirror there. However, the Ducks do have quite the Australian and just in general Oceania contingent. If you seem on, try and play some with us.

ramjamslam:
There are many Australasian and Asian players across a bunch of different clans, Ducks being one.  I think what Squash and Sammy are saying is that many GoI clans are borderless and accept people from all different countries and timezones - or should I say accept people regardless of country or timezone.  I would try to play with people from different clans in game when you are usually on and see which clan your game style fits best and talk to people from there (but that's just my style).

I know you and your friends seem to mostly play Oceania servers, but for competitive play you are probably going to end up playing more European and American servers, so try to find which of those is best for you (European should be ok I assume) as you will need to agree with other competitive captains on which servers to play.  There is definitely lag on servers across the world, but its really not as bad as you would experience with the same ping on a TF2 server.  In GMT+8, tournaments would probably be about 12am - 7am I think, but as long as you can work a reasonable time to fit for training with other clan members you should be fine.

Gadzoooks:
@Sammy

We'd generally consider ourselves Asia players, but since the community is more or less non-existent here, Australia is the next closest place for us to head over to where the ping wouldn't screw us over (would be estimated to be around 90-ish as and when Muse gets some dedicated servers in Australia), so we generally try to hang around there when we play because we get a little more traffic in our lobby that way.

@ramjam

Ah, alright, thank you for the info! :) I didn't realise that it worked that way, I'll have to check up with my guys on whether we're okay with the server locations and timing before we apply to a team, then.
