Welcome to Rio de Janeiro.
And, once again, congratulations! You all have been privileged enough to receive an invite to the Hana Song Academy. As a newly inducted member of the NanoCola™ Hana Song Junior Team, you have joined the world’s most prestigious and best group of young Lucky Strike players. Well done on taking your first steps into a much larger world.
Yet there are many more steps on the journey ahead. If you are to one day lift the banner and be a Lucky Strike champion, there’s much work to be done. Fortunately, here we have a friendly and supportive environment where you can hone your skills and become even better than you already are - and you will need to be, if you want to become a champion.
Life at the Hana Song Academy is pretty unstructured. You can take classes or workshops, or you can practise against your classmates, or you can go down to the beach and drink yourself to death, if you really want to. All you have to do is pass the periodic examinations - but don’t worry about those just yet.
And, if you’re good enough and you’re feeling up for it, here’s where you’ll take part in your first official tournaments representing the NanoCola™ Hana Song Junior Team. The shills at the Tyler Roman Institute aren’t going to defeat themselves, after all!

Sign-ups:
Name:
Pronouns:
Country: This is the country you’d represent in international competitions. It does not necessarily have to be the country you’re from. It may be a country that doesn’t currently exist, but run it past me first.
Appearance: What do you look like?
Backstory: How did you get here?
Feel free to add as many details as you like.
Stats: You have 15 points to distribute between the following.
Physical: Despite what your parents and those nerds in your
old school think, being a Lucky Strike master means having to be in top fitness. Your reaction times need to be in top shape, for instance, and your heart needs to be strong for all those tense moments.
Mental: Of course, you do need fortitude, concentration, willpower, and quick-fire intelligence if you want to win. It won’t do to have your opponents gain a psychological advantage over you, but it would do to have one over them.
Knowledge: You can be good at Lucky Strike without knowing how the game works, but if you know the fine details of the meta, that understanding will serve you well. It will also give you tactical insight into both your team and your opponents.
Teamwork: Lastly, but certainly not least, how well do you communicate and work as a team? Even the best players will struggle against a tightly-knit group of moderate players.
Skill: Distribute the points you put in this category between the following roles. The higher the value, the better you are at each. Keep this in mind when forming teams later.
-Damage:
-Tank:
-Support:

Q: What the hell?
A: This is a very pathetic semi-joke attempt at a character-based esports IOT.
Q: No, I mean, what is Lucky Strike?
A: The cigarettes?
Q: No.
A: Oh, you mean this?
Q: Seriously.
A: Oh, yes. Lucky Strike, in-game, is a 3v3 team shooter; imagine, for our purposes, a version of Overwatch. We won’t be going too deeply into the specifics of the game, so don’t actually worry about that. This IOT is more about the characters. Just know that there are effectively three roles on a team: damage, tank, and support. Damage is flashy and attack-oriented, tank is defense-oriented and focused on protection and absorbing damage, and support is focused on healing and tying the team together.
