Tournament PUBD II - Commencement

If anyone wants to try out with me, I’m not managing in any capacity and will not speak with managers on your behalf but I will make a positive shitpost in this thread if I’m impressed. You can message me on Discord.
 
tony and i will not be playing any tryout games but feel free to dm on discord (@ yungjorts or 4speedlaughingemoji) if you wanna provide a resume or have any interest in playing for the scowlers. i personally will also show interest if you have any funny balatro runs.

If you want to potentially join the Chungiest of Mongeys, dm myself or el Chungler here on Smogon. Mostly interested in SV builders/testers OR old gen support. I'll read every DM I get per usual but can't promise a response. Let's have a fun tour! :ambipom:

You can also message me on discord at the_chungler with cvs and teams to demonstrate your building prowess.

I want to see some absolute crack teams. I want to see quintuple focus sash, trick room psyterrain, 7 priority moves, and all 4 hazards hazard stack. Stall with no base speed below 80, monotype flying, and Dinos PU edition. I want those absolutely dogshit hyper-specific EV spreads made for 1 matchup. Give me the team you’ve only ever thought up in your head and don’t actually have in your builder because it looks like it came from 1100s ladder.

:pmd/ambipom: WE WANT BUILDERS THAT GO BANANAS :pmd/ambipom:
 
Here to let the managers know that my Discord is available at anytime (FlamingoPokeman) if they'd like to discuss why I should join their team - feel free to drop your qualifications and some tidbits about yourself so I can adequately decide which team to get drafted by. Otherwise I will likely not be doing tryouts and will let the draft play out how it plays out. Thank you.
 
Hello! Are you a newer player and want to break into teamtours? Do you have a passion for sv pu? If so, you should reach out to me on here or Discord, because the Gigantic Goletts are doing tryouts! We are specifically only doing tryouts for SV PU, so if you're interested hmu and I'll run a Bo3 with you. My discord is tomholland#2487 . Go letts!

I'd like to shout out some RBY players who would be great RBY PU starters, but aren't well-known outside of the RBY community, just so Managers know who they are.

I also want to note that RBY NU has updated its VR recently, with 6 mons dropping to PU and 3 mons rising to NU, and 2 of these were the most important mons in old PU. Because of this I think managers should value willingness to learn/develop this brand new tier over past results since that version of PU no longer exists.

Wanted in 49 States went undrafted last year but I let him support my team for PUBD and he was extremely helpful. He is a good builder in the tier and will definitely put a lot of effort into the tour. He also won the most recent RBY PU spotlight tour.

ButtGallon hasn't played a ton of RBY tournaments on Smogon, only playing the RBY SU open but he put on an impressive showing winning over some prominent RBY low tier players. Give this guy a shot to start, and he will do well.

GirlsSeeGhosts is an up-and-coming OU player who has just started playing the lowtiers, making top cut of the RBY C+ UU tournament with a 3-1 overall record. Despite a lack of PU experience, his skill in RBY OU and his brief lowtier success makes him a good potential RBY Starter in this tour.
 
GSC Drafting for Dummies - Manager's Edition

The Proven
Estarossa performed well last PUBD and supported Aurist to a decent GSCPL record (also plays SM and DPP)

torkonpeter won Aurist's GSC PU tournament and performed extremely well in GSCPL with a 6-3 record, easily finishing at the top of the pool (also plays RBY)

Horodro bit under the radar but he won the very first tournament of furret-less GSC PU a while ago and he did well in GSCPL

BloodAce has consistently performed pretty well throughout team tours in GSC PU (also plays SV)

Aurist did pretty well in gscpl and is very dedicated (also plays SV)

Alice Kazumi made semifinals of GSC PU Open II and finals of Aurist's GSC PU tournament (also plays ORAS)

feen did very well in GSCPL (also plays like every other tier)

Potential Man
SANKE CARP likely the best player available in terms of talent and experience, having won GSC PU Open and overall being a great GSC player, however you need to convince him to actually care and try lol

Larry if he's actually serious at all then he'd obviously be a good pick due to natural mons skill, but let's be real you're shoving him into SV

Maître Apagnan same as Larry, if he's actually dedicated/has time then he's for sure worth buying despite no PU experience, great overall gsc player though should come with support

Outside picks with high upside
Amity debatably should've been given a chance in GSCPL, will probably play DPP/ADV but with support can do well

Gallinova low experience but has been dabbling in gsc lower tiers and is possibly worth taking a chance on, see: ZU Olympiad

gastlies basically zero GSC PU experience so free ping (rby support tax + with support she can do well)

Resident Dumbass
BeeOrSomething this guy sucks and all his sauce is public. If you draft him, you're inting. Stick him into whatever the most hated PU tier is.

I somehow played couple of pu tournaments with overall good results (1-0 wcop and finals in pu holdovers) and i'm the creator of the ambipom beatup team (i played that in wcop and during the whole holdovers tournament). I can easily play SV PU but i can also play DPP (which is my main gen) and BW, even if i never played pu in those gens before.
I like playing and building weird shit (but not weak) and i'm a positive presence in team tours because i tryhard a lot and i help keeping team's morale high.
I know my chances of getting picked are low but idc, if someone is interest feel free to dm me here or on discord.
 
hiiii since signups are closing this weekend i wanted to do a quick post about players i think deserve a shot!! you may be asking yourself "gulch, why are you, a manager, making this post? wouldn't you want your 3k steals to stay under the radar?". and yes, while this may be true, there are unfortunately just not enough slots in this tour for me to get everyone i would want to :( so, without further ado now that ishtar has graciously assured me this is NOT pricefixing, here are some of my scouting picks:

Jojen :pmd/ribombee: - i can assure you this guy will put in work, teamed with him in RUBD and managed him in UUFPL and can confidently say he's a great teammate to have around. will probably need squads built for him, but since he's definitely a pass-and-play as far as PU goes that means you can probably slot him into any tier he's signed for and get results.

zoowi :pmd/flareon: - somehow went undrafted last pupl which is nuts, but can click and cook and test in a variety of tiers and from the past tours we've teamed together they're always ready to provide input on what's happening. ended avarice's winning streak last pubd too!

Baddy :pmd/tyranitar: - the bw lowtier goat, he just shows up and gets insane wins and dips. that's not to say he's a bad chat presence though, quite the opposite. dude was prepping like a million slots when we teamed up back in bdsppl and i could not have made heads or tails of that meta if it weren't for him.

Ineros :pmd/sudowoodo: - managing altpl and we tossed this poor son of a bitch into rby ubers headfirst when he knew next to nothing about it. he's still managed to stomach playing it for four weeks and hasn't gone winless either! the tier knowledge may not be there but the dedication certainly is. he forgot rby mechanics like one time but as long as you have someone who can catch him up to speed everything should be alright.

Tizio Potente Ao :pmd/swalot: - claims he hates this tier and keeps signing up for it. despite this, he made finals of holdovers with some... questionable team choices. if you pass this guy good teams he will probably mop the floor. apparently he also knows ball on dpp too, if you're worried about not getting value off of him in a 2SV tour.

Blue YM :pmd/barboach: - this dude is my oras goat even if he has pretentious (read: still good) taste in movies. in a pool that's historically very weak and furthermore tends to lack people who can build AND pilot the tier, you're going to want pretty much anything you can get. he's also not too out of the loop i believe? did captain benelux this puwc so. take that as you will for how much he does/doesn't know ball on SV. he locked himself out of playing it but maybe he can help cook or pass some teams or something.

Tidal :pmd/lopunny: - shoutout to my bestie who will literally never ever stop talking and is like, always available for tests and shit. no clue what she knows about PU (her only DPP knowledge afaik is watching me prep for dpppl and looking at stolen jabbathegriffin teams) BUT she will be a huge help to literally anyone who asks.

DD Joe :pmd/fraxure: - a fairly new face to the PU scene but he's done like every suspect since he joined and i can tell that there's a spark behind those eyes that will push him to put in the work. we were all new once, take a chance on the guy.
 
Nah that's was because you went with the /overpay! 8k 0W-0L in the second to last week is insane. But I like you lyra. Good Discord main. The thing is the good vibes, great support, activity generator, managing skills, bad clicker is my niche. Can't let you in my space.
 
ik it's a little late in the signups to be posting this but I'll be doing tryouts for those interested in being a Magby, find me on PS or discord and ask for games
or if you just want to play some games I need refreshers on a lot of the oldgens and would appreciate some friendly camaraderie
