Here is a short interview with our beloved leader!
Incomplete[ReV]: I was going through some Liquipedia pages and popped by the ReV page, where I suddenly saw you were written in as clan leader. And later on I see the crown beside your nick in our Discord. You've become the new leader of ReV! When and how did this come about!?
psyCrowe[ReV]: So it happened officially around the beginning of March. Hirmu prompted the discussion towards the end of February. He asked if I'd be interested in assuming leadership due to the work I was putting in to ReV (meritocracy ftw!), but also to tie in with the leadership rotation aspect we like to employ in order to keep things fresh.
I had some reservations due to my own thoughts on what qualities the clan leader should posses. I felt I couldn't satisfy these conditions so was apprehensive, but we admins had productive discussions and I decided to accept Hirmu's proposal.
Incomplete[ReV]: What qualities do you feel you lack? And what solutions did you and the other admins reach?
psyCrowe[ReV]: I guess it's more so to do with logistics of representation. For me, the leader should always be present at events which the clan are engaged in, so clan wars. This is something I am unable to commit to due to my personal circumstances and it doesn't sit right with me being the figurehead and not being present or responsible for these events, I'd feel a bit of a fraud.
I did acknowledge this was my own -irrational- opinion and the other admins were quick to acknowledge my thoughts and work to supporting any arrangements.
Hirmu was quite happy to continue as the BWCL A team admin, and a part of 2sxy4u's appointment to the admin team was based on his desire for a BWCL B team, so he was happy to assume responsibility for this. So they are the 'captains' for each respective team, whereas I will provide support whenever it is required.
As for other clan leagues, well we haven't fully discussed who will assume those responsibilities for when they arise 😉
Incomplete[ReV]: 2sxy4u is one of our newer members and seems like quite the breath of fresh air. When did he join the management?
psyCrowe[ReV]: Yeah, 2sxy has been a great addition to ReV! He's always taken initiative for arranging ReV's internal 1v1 tournaments (our third is ongoing right now). He also expressed a desire to create a strong and competitive B-team. With his great enthusiasm and initiative, I felt he was the perfect fit to be an admin. I made the suggestion to the other admins and Hirmu made it happen 🙂
Incomplete[ReV]: How do you consider the current state of ReV? What's its strengths and what do you think needs work?
psyCrowe[ReV]: We are in a fine state of health but admins can never be complacent, there is always room to improve. I think ReV's main strength is the players, in two ways.
First, we have a great group of players who are happy to provide practice partners and two incredibly knowledgeable Protoss players in crvt and Aeternum. I feel like I gain 200 Protoss MMR just by reading their discussions! I just wish we had their Terran and Zerg alternatives.
Secondly, many new and active players have joined, but I'd like to see some more integration. As an admin it's not something you can force and it has to develop naturally, but I respect some people just want to zone out for an hour or so and grind ladder, rather than be sociable, there's nothing wrong with that.
Incomplete[ReV]: Exciting times to come! Is there anything else you'd like to say to ReV's members, as we conclude this short interview?
psyCrowe[ReV]: I think so too 🙂 . Just that you guys are all awesome and I hope we can all keep practicing together to make a really strong team. I'm personally looking forward to having a bit more time to get absolutely trashed by everyone in many practice games! 😀

Speaking from my own experience with psyCrowe in management, I think I can safely say we are in very good hands. All hail the king!
