Clans?

[CombatEX]

You can use clans to find practice partners and discuss strategies. Though this can be done in the main forum too, it's nice to have a community you can count on to help you out and also you can participate in clan competitions (against other clans) if you need a break from league games.

Gfich is working on organizing a clan league as Necrocat mentioned which should be fun too and should really get the competitive side of the clan system going.
