Saw the wolves game, not ok too leak 17 when no send? Why would u also build hydra behind wolves, that is a very bad play. U also do pretty bad push pre 10, u had like 1000 value for 7 and killed 2 units on 7 or something like that. Imo u was useless for the team and pretty much the whole game, not major sends from u and no big holds.

Replay 3- again the same problem u push or in a way u dont xD U leak hard 7 but dont have more than 5 wisp - so 2 games in a row u do the mistake of mistakes = semipush with the wrong units.. Either u hold or u push hard with turrets and wolves is just full suicide the first 8 levels. In these 2 replays u actually is worse than a noob, since u dont really send much and u just monster leak on 7.

Replay 4- Archers, polar and druids, not a fan of the game but the fact u cannot carry the game when it gets to level 28 makes it clear that it wasn't a good game by any means.... Roll Archers = u carry the game if it gets late. U didn't ?

I wasn't a fan of the 3 replays, NO MAJOR mistakes but not any big plays either, so was actually very borring to watch xD
Looks like u know the game and all that--- so u might be ready for LIHL when the real mods give ur feedback and u listen and then play a week or more. Watch a LIHL game = Push = hard push! Hold = hard hold! Semi push = few units who benefit from this like greyname, blaster, lords imo.

I would say not ready

wisp too slow and ob too much wrong levels

Stuff like 7 turrets on 4 would get you slaughtered

I think he's ready for that. the basics are there, just needs to listen to the other players to improve. things you learn only by playing lihl.
when I started I did not know what it was '' yolo '' but still playing with them and now I know I have learned many strategies.

as I said, I think he's ready for lihl

2 more replays for viewing,
Also I got to sit in and observe 2 lihl games got to see some interesting build. and to answer some of the critics I got from the 2 people who didn't like my replays, to each their own
in my archer druid game I felt I handled very well up to 28, to bad we had a noob who went merc and sucked and teal dced which was our second best player, and was vs a cross hard to beat a cross.
in my turret game, I played a little slower, in a lihl environment I would play a little more hard or slow. in pubs you never know whats up.

the wolves/hydra game thank you I learned something new, I thought using my wolves as a speedbump would be good for hydras. but that's all things I will learn in lihl.

with this panda game I was trying to get my auras out then do a reroll was just a captian away.

im very good with listening and taking advice on the fly. So with some guidance I feel ill be a good future lihl player.

thank you ( more info is welcome only way to keep getting better)

Hello and thanks for applying!
A mod will (probably) look at your app within a few days :P
Until then feel free to upload more good replays.

I watched some replays now (plus we played together .. yesterday?) and while it was a close call I also think you are not quite ready for LIHL yet. You know the basics etc, but you never play optimal plus, as Qvist already said, you are often doing the #1 worst mistake, that is semi pushing with wrong towers. You should only get like 6/1 or 5/2 etc if you can at least almost hold your lane on level 7 without send (and even then you will almost never do that). Semi pushing is usually the worst thing you can do, like in some of your games you only had like 5/2 yet leaked 80% of level 7, that's simply a no-go. Plus you sometimes overbuild for certain levels instead of pushing, don't know whether you can afford a wisp or not or build wrong towers (like trying to hold level 10 with 5 elite archers, 4 small archers and polar bear, obviously leaking 3 bosses).
As I said, you are still pretty close but need to improve a bit before we can let you play in LIHL :)

I would suggest watching/observing more LIHL games and you might be ready in 2 weeks or so. Feel free to reapply when you think you have improved on said areas, denied for now.
