Team Love [kiSu] s a GvG guild in the Dark Alley [dR ] PvP Alliance. [kiSu] was started in December 2007 in order to help facilitate the mentoring of promising PvP players by some of the top players in the world. The current list of mentors includes but is not limited to:

Axiom
Chop Chop The Panda
Chiizu
Daemon
David
Danimoth
Divine Ambassador
Doji
Farin
Kestrel
Less
Squidget
Three Pounds
Tommy
Rino
Yue

We are always on the look out for more top players to act as mentors. Mentors need not member with kiSu, though they are welcome to add second accounts if available. Mentor players need only to post in this thread in order to be added to the program.

Anchor Members

Anchor players form the core of the guild and fill in most of the spots in any given match. For anchors we look for players who have prior top 50-100 GvG experience and have an attitude of wanting to improve as well as helping others to do so. Although GvG matches can get to be stressful, we expect anchors to temper their critiques when dealing with mentees.

Mentees

Mentees are experienced GvG players who have toiled away in obscurity. kiSu is designed to give them experience playing with better players, at a higher level, than they have been able to in the past. The goal is for mentees to improve to the point where they can act as anchors and/or move on to other good PvP guilds.

How It Works

kiSu currently has 8 mentee players. In any given GvG match, no more than two mentees will play, in a role that they are experienced and practiced with. All mentees have considerable experience play at the top 200-300 level, and our goal is to get them to play at even higher levels through interaction with mentors and anchors. GvG matches also include 1-2 mentors, often calling strategy for the match. By participating with kiSu, both anchors and mentees learn from some of the top players in the world, in addition to getting a chance to make themselves known in the PvP community.

Team Love

If you are interested in becoming a mentor for kiSu, just post a thread and I'll add you to our list for guesting as well as give you access to our private forums. If you want to join as an anchor or mentee, please post an application in this forum. Please make sure to include some references in game that we can talk you, as well as a guild history and your usual positions and play times. We are always looking for new mentors and anchors, but mentees are based on space availability.

Casual Love

Since we have pretty strict guidelines for running in Team Love - no more than two mentees in a match, and at least 1-2 mentors, we sometimes find that we have extra mentees on that are not able to play with the main guild. To address this, some anchors and mentees put 2nd accounts into a guild called Casual Love [kiSu]. In this guild we'll still look to run solid builds with solid strats, but we won't have a limit on the number of mentees or mentors that need to be in a GvG.

Virtual Love

Recently we have also had a lot of interest in some basic level PvP orientation and instruction. Because we have so many experienced players in Casual Love, mixing in newer players becomes problematic and tends to generate some rage and stress. In order to accommodate less experienced GvGers, we have started a new guild called Virtual Love [kiSu]. This guild will focus on ABs and basic level GvG in a low stress, non-rage environment. Players from the other [kiSu] guilds will lend a hand with the basics of GvGing - builds/bars/maps/positioning/strategy/etc, and we'd expect that players in Virtual Love will be still making the transition from PvE and other forms of PvP over to GvG. As such we would expect to see a lot of AB, TA, HA, and higher level PvE taking place, making Virtual Love a hybrid PvE/PvP guild.

Eternus Love

Eternus Love [kiSu] is our newly forming Euro PvP guild. This guild is in the Virtual Love PvX alliance and designed to be a midlevel guild for our Euro based players. We are currently building a core for this team from our most experienced Euro based players, and encourage other experienced players to apply. Note please that this is NOT an entry level guild.

All the [kiSu] guilds will use the same Vent to facilitate interguild communications. Players who are interested in becoming mentees will be encouraged to sign up with Casual Love, Virtual Love, or Eternus Love depending on your past GvG experience and play times. To apply for any of our guilds please post an application at www.teamlove.us
