-I currently run a clan and used to run an almost-team. Sometimes you see an offer though that just seems so good that you have to jump on it instantly. This is one of those times.
-Hi I'm Nick, I like to play sc2 xD and design cities. If you'd like to learn more skype me

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I improved mostly by having fun and enjoying the game that I played. I went from Bronze to the top of platinum in my first season (The first of 2011, second in sc2, you know the super long ones) with almost none to little RTS experience and I did not join a team until I hit diamond league.

Enjoyment of the game leads to playing more and playing more, in my eyes, is the best way to improve at lower levels. The sort of environment you are looking for tends to suit higher level players who have difficulty improving over the course of weeks or have hit a skill plateau they are trying to cross. I'm not saying that the environment you're putting the players in will kill off their motivation completely or is harming their ability to perform, but from my personal experience the pressure will likely have an adverse effect on their ability to enjoy the game which may, in turn, effect their willingness to improve.
But I hope that it works out for you and you find the players you are looking for and it works out to be a positive relationship. Good luck!
This thread made me genuinely sad, there are ways to ask questions and voice concerns without being nasty..
It seems some personal vendettas have crossed into what should have been a good community thread and that is pretty shitty.
Good luck in your search for players and I hope people aren't deterred after reading some of the posts in this thread.
Those who have their own teams or are representatives for teams should perhaps consider how you would feel if someone trashed your thread in such a way that could damage your sponsorship potentials or the chance to procure players.
"Hi guys. [OS]Nameless here. I don't know what rumours or where you've been hearing them from but I personally joined OS not because of BENEFITS.
Firstly, it's easy to just come up to a thread and start flaming people for things you don't like. It's another to provide constructive feedback to help improve smth. Afterall, we are all part of the same community that we grew to love through gaming, aren't we? So why not help each other grow instead of trying to bash each other down. Just rmb, when people start to leave the community, there won't be anyone else to compete with. This should be self-explanatory.
Secondly, before you ask someone for smth i.e. "the benefits", don't you think it's better to ask yourself first, "What can I do for the community/group." Which brings me back to the purpose of me typing this post.
Let me be totally honest and tell you guys right now why I decided to join OS despite of the "STRICT RULES". Do you know how frustrating it is to play SC2 and not have people whom you can share your exciting experiences with? Do you know how sucky it feels when you go for an SC2 event and you see the exact same cliques of people chilling tgt but you can't possibly go over and say hi cuz they've already settled down?
Well I do.
So when I found out about OS, my initial reaction was, "YAY FINALLY! THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN SG AND PLAYS SC2 AT AN AMATEUR LEVEL!"
And let me tell you what BENEFIT OS have provided me with since then. The greatest one of all, friends who share the exact same passion as I did. FRIENDSHIP.
I don't care what reputation OS has to its name right now but I will stand by my teamates no matter what, even if you chain fungal us and launch a nuke at our location. Peace."

I am in agreement with Rogue, ChadMann and Cyanide. Quite shocking how a clan recruitment thread can spurn so much hate and get derailed so much.
Also, don't forget a lot of good teams in SEA today started out very much like OS did.
