If I were a squad captain or a prospective one I would be reaching out individually to everyone in the league, regardless of rosters or past allegiances. I would be checking last seasons rosters and using that list to gauge interest. Next I would be scouring who is practicing and seeing if I was interested in those people being on a team I was captaining, all the while making sure those prospective players can show to a good amount of matches, and even practices, at least on the weekends. Moreover, I would be reaching out to past players to see if they have interest in playing. Geography also would play a part in this. If I were you I would target people like Sika, Shadow, pilo, Megaman, other BIA, unhallowed, Addicts, and EGO players. Get their emails, start reaching out. Obviously I wouldn’t narrow my search to just this but it’s the most logical place to start.
The question of who could I recruit really irks me. If you want to play and run a team, use your head and get on it. Come on man. This isn’t shit talk, this is a wtf? moment. People need to step up.
Thanks for the advice. I have a few outlets and corners to look in, but most of what you mention is not interested in playing any more (i have reached out.) I have most of old BIA and other euros on facebook and ive msg'd players like fedu individually without word. I mean, i have some previous experience building and recruiting but we're at a point where the pickings a very slim. I guess my question "who could i recruit" was sloppy, and reflects my level of interest in running a squad at this point. I could rephrase it to "who, out of the 50 players we see on a regular basis, is not already on a roster?" These 2 new squads im not familiar with certainly holds a few of them, but i have no idea who. If we could update the current roster page, or list teams here, it would help me narrow my search and get a better idea of who to talk to, if anyone. I'm also not online during peak hours, judging by discord it's around 4am Swedish time, so i lose track of who's doing what in the community and i can't be around to gauge the situation when people actually practice.
With that said, im not super excited about running a squad, unless a few free agents present them selves. I'm mostly thinking in terms of helping the league. But i'd be fine with no leadership or responsobility at all and just play next season.
Edit: i don't mean to be too gloomy. If i could get fedu, bugkiller and one or two more to commit (someone like caerbannog?), i'd go for it. But it's up to them to speak up. Perhaps fedu already has a squad? Perhaps he doesnt want to play with me? I'm lacking information here despite reaching out.
