Sunbeh Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Is anyone actually interested in advancing the community for HG's Strategy Division? Who can I contact to actually make advancements? I have many ideas in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Strategy division wasn't really ever "alive", at the moment it isn't considered a division, it's a "Community Group". There are plenty of people around that could still play strategy games with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizzMadelyne Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I always ask to be strategy but no one takes me seriously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaOfPain Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's pretty difficult trying to maintain and recruit members for strat as you would need constant events and tournaments. If you are really looking to to try and advance the division, you can always make an interest in leadership application. If we have the right people for it we could bring strat. Some things you would want to keep in mind is what game you are going to focus on and figuring out how to recruit people for it. I'm going to assume you want to focus on LoL and that might be a little bit more difficult than lets say dota 2. Most of the people who were actively playing LoL in this community have already left, I only really see a couple people in the LoL channels in teamspeak. If you would want to focus on dota, that would be easier because we currently have a lot of people who play dota, we would just have to start making events like 10 mans, tournaments, or something like that. Just try to get a foundation set up and work off of that. If you want to try to set up any events, just talk to a staff member who can help (like me) and we can work with you on that. Also a heads up, if you really plan on trying anything talk to a CD or Council member. If you have any questions I would love to answer them! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9mm Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 No wonder it wouldn't let me pick strategy on my application form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(evko)KingSlayer Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 So me and my "League Buddies" We do tournaments almost every single day and usually people tend to see an open event/tourny and immediately so I dont think there will be a population problem for tournaments. But its stuff like getting some to join which is probably the harder part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arezk Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) I always ask to be strategy but no one takes me seriously It's all about showing dominance, whenever somebody used to switch my strat tag to minecraft ( cough @_iMPAKT) I would scare him and ez pz they would switch it back. I'd be down to help out Strat again, but personally I feel like focusing on one game in Strategy at first would be more ideal because from my experience it was harder to maintain this community's player base, one reason being we would do events that were not related to the game that many of the strategy members played. If the division just focused on Dota 2 or League at first then expanded to the other games once there was a active stable player base for the community I feel like it would be a better Strategy ^.^, or separate divisions idk. Personally I'd prefer League of Legends because simply put I'm a legend. Tbh we had a fair amount of people joining and but it did require more active work from people recruiting such has posting on League of legends clan recruitment/reddit/other websites and even a short message at the end of the game, however if we can get a tournament going on weekly and making it open to the public I think that would make it easier for recruitment.

I have since applied, and I am currently ready and prepared with proper plans to make strategy big, or at least bigger than it is now. I know some successful groups that pull off weekly tourneys, so I'll look more into that. I could put up an interest post to recruit some people on the LoL forums for now. I definitely know I can make a ranked 5s team and get some stuff going on with it. I just want to get the "go" on doing that kind of stuff, along with HG sponsored tourneys. I know Riot gives out free RP and skins for online tourneys. There's so much potential for a great strategy "division", and it's definitely possible!

9mm Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hey! I got recruited, and they wouldn't let me join strategy... It is officially dead. Time to make a zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetman Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I tried forming a team for DotA2 but after our first match, I realized I'm no miracle worker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbeh Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I tried forming a team for DotA2 but after our first match, I realized I'm no miracle worker. That's too bad I've made some ranked teams, winning some online tournaments. Want to do that again, but with HG this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Element Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've definitely been playing more strategy games myself, so If anyone else is interested in bringing back (or reviving, whichever word works better here) the Strategy division, you can count me in!

StyleeZy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) the biggest issue i ran into for strategy is that a lot of the platforms you want to use to attract attention (solomid, reddit, etc.) either don't allow posts of recruitment type or people would end up joining and expecting a lot more than what it is (People thought it meant ranked 5s even without stating it more often than I ever anticipated), and you will end up with a european / north american player base (mabye not if you keep boxer out of the entire european continent this time) which requires you to accommodate events for both time zones, or double the events. Either way, in strat fashion, glhf. Edited March 8, 2016 by StyleZ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
