I knew this group was for our IRL mates etc. for LAN, but consdering there has been issues with getting on and stuff I think it's good to introduce a stand-in that is on quite a lot so far. Well all know him bar two people so he shouldn't be too foreign unless he's black. His name is Ryan and his in-game name is Lixxan and has been added to the group. He is aware that if there is five of us we will take priority and he's happy for that to happen, like stated previously he's here for a stand in and to make up the numbers. So therefore if you haven't already just say hello or whatever:)
-Welcome buddy!

Right I've been thinking for a while how to sort out this whole positional dilemma as easy and efficient as possible. So, for this I'm going to need EVERYONE to respond in the comments so I can see who plays where, then once you have all told me where you want to play we can sort out then individually if anyone needs to swap or can change. So it's been decided that our two maps to focus on will be Inferno and Cache, now, I've been thinking that it'll be best to start off by focusing just one of the maps for each of the following two weeks, so with regards to that plan for the next week commencing 15th November we will solely focus on Inferno, then once we hit the 23rd November we will then focus on Cache.

So if you wouldn't mind filling in this little list by putting 1st,2nd,3rd etc. matching the position you would want to play and then were in specific on that bombsite, so for example if I was filling one in for inferno it'd look like this:
(CT)
A:1st - Apartments
B:2nd - Coils
(T)
B:1st - Banana
A:2nd - Apartments

If anyone has any problems on how you would write this down just message me, for now just write down your list for inferno as we can sort out the cache one next week. PLEASE fill this in as it will make it a lot easier for myself sorting all this kinda ♥♥♥♥ out. Also we won't go through smoke training on an individual map, I'm going to leave it down to you guys to rehearse your own smokes for the sites you play on. Feel free to invite your site buddies to practise with you, all I'm saying is I don't want to have to teach every single player every single smoke for their site. Therefore when we go into a game and I want for example Spencer to smoke CT on inferno, I would expect him to know it, but don't worry I understand it takes time to learn smokes etc.

So as we are used to playing faceit when it comes to team matches thanks to Sam Nobles history of incredibly low MM rankings (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) I think it'll be best to use this site. I have created the group on faceit and added you all to it as far as I can see, if I have for some reason missed any of you off just message me and I'll add you straight to it. If anyone thinks it'll be a good idea to subscribe to ESEA after a month or so let me know about that too and I'll bring it up to the rest of you. In all fairness I did use ESEA in the past while I was global and it is a pretty good system with the best Anti-Cheat I've ever seen. I think for a basic subscription with access to 128 tick servers is something like £6.99 a month or maybe less actually. But yeah as for now faceit will do I hope and I think we can still enter tournaments; we can definitely 5v5 though which is better than just playing against random 5v5's. I'll put the link down below for the faceit page and I've just found out it has a client now too which runs 100% faster than the web page. But yeah as stated if you could join the team that'd be swell, ta lads. x

So, instead of using mumble or teamspeak/skype we are using discord, if we want to go to I62 and win as well as having a good time we can't just use voice activation due to the loudness of the LAN halls, therefore by learning to use push to talk on discord which is currently free and I can run a server, I think it'll benefit us the best out of all other VOIP programs.
