Chien Pao is a Pokémon
That aside, if you want games to show to your Managers, shoot me a message on Discord! (JustCallMeFish) I'll be more than happy to play some. (THIS IS FOR SV, I DO NOT PLAY SS AND AM VERY RUSTY ON ND)

Whatever it wants to be :) <3
Cat for sure :3
On a seperate note, the Mulch-Munching Orthworms server is up and running, and we'd love for anyone to drop bye and share a little about themself that might convince us to draft you! We're not nearly as eager to do tryouts, but if you believe that your tour history isn't reflective of your skill, come reach out to us and we can set something up.
It's a lizard trust
Pretty sure its supposed to be a snow leopard, so kitty.
In other news, Finizen Friends Discord is now open for tryouts! We encourage anyone even remotely interested in joining our team to hop in and send a couple of replays, or fight in a couple of battles!

Chien-Pao is obviously a Chien-Pao
hi,
I made a quick announcement earlier today in UUbers cord and I’ll make it too so no one miss the information. Exotic and I will hold try out so feel free to reach us out on smogon or on discord !
As I said, we mainly want to scout the players we’re not familiar with. If we already know each others you can be sure you’ll be considered already.
I think think I said it all, so I wish good luck to every players in order to get drafted.
im dropping my cord here in case you don’t have it already: indercover

my squad, of the highest caliber, my noms, only the most prestiged, every choice carefully calculated to build the best possible team, any disrespect towards us shows signs of weakness under my mastermind, your paltry badly planned squadron of frauds will crumble upon the might of the finizen friends.

Now that we're out, thank you Tournament hosts and Finizen Friends for a very fun tournament <3. A very strong start that defied all the predicts.
S/o IcyScream and avaluggsimp for drafting me and letting me play, I'm happy you all believed in me every week and I'm sorry the record wasn't better. We had our moments with act losses but you two were great managers and made this a very fun experience. I'll work to improve from this tour for next year.
Thank you Bazingatron for being an excellent mascot dropping heat bars after every week and always being available for test games. Its unfortunate we didn't get to field you at least once.
temp despite not being as active during the week, always seemed prepared and your only losses came down to hax. Worth all the budget spent imo.
veti ND goat, very reliable slot and its amazing to see you go positive despite week 1 hax. A lot of weeks came down to you last, 3-2 vs DD Deoxys, 3-2 vs Astral Monarchs, 2-3 vs Soul Strikers. Great job, should be proud of yourself for the performance.
tysm Fusion Flare for the logo, the technical loss was really unfortunate and it would've been nice to see you play.
SBAP appreciate you slotting in for Bo3 when no one could really afford it, probably the most active player and builder in the discord, always had ideas I liked and stole, regardless of the unfortunate record.
Thank you feen, a lot of well played games and its a Finizen Friends special for you to be asking for teams hours before the game. If our sv builder support was stronger, I think the record would look a lot prettier.
Mozonite GOAT of the tour. Undefeated SS slot really helped us have a chance at playoffs, and helped prepare with I believe every slot, appreciate all the little ideas you offered for my teams. 3k was a massive steal and can't wait to see how high you go next pl!
a bit moody & abra xdd: amazing support for Mozonite, super useful and helped us succeed further in the tier with no resources. Ty for the availability and test games you offered.
Wildfiree it was unfortunate you were busy this week but still grateful you were available to play in times of need, if we were a little faster making subs I don't think we would be disappointed :3
JustCallMeFish, Jusfordlolz, and angl3r were amazing helpers despite not being Finizen Friends, thank you so much for your support, whether that was test games, spitballing builds, or believing in us when others didn't.

ggs all, fun tour! shoutouts to everyone who participated, as captain player substitute or spectator. i am going to do shoutouts now because i am vain
Rasche - partner in crime. let's do this again elsewhere, more often
Baddy - when we realized ewin deleted, we knew we had to break the bank to get you. relieved that we did, was lovely to work with you in a team tour
Addison - didnt have big ss plans and kinda left you alone with your own thoughts for weeks on end, thanks for reaching out, you were worth the cost for "decent enough for minbid" - one of those, oh she wants <tier>, cool that's our plan lol
Runo - your score hides your skill, you took on a tier that is more rng than most and did admirably even as the tier tried to Saw trap you week after week.
SPHZ - happy to have worked alongside you, saw you late in the auction and went "surely no way?" and definitely didn't regret it
BigFatMantis - stop missing weeks (for incredibly valid reasons), somehow you didnt even break 10k cost and yet provided like 20k+ worth of involvement in team prep as well as holding your own against strong opponents. clutching us the win is icing on the cake for sure.
Leo Justice VigilanteVigoroth - happy with both of you as subs, wish yall couldve had won the games you stepped in for but thats the life of subs ig. thanks for being on the team and contributing where you did
Ineros Sami veti - thanks for not letting runo lose his mind
Medeia you couldve been with us for the win! we'd have picked you up if it cost all the money in the world. but you were in the server for finals, and i appreciate that and i appreciate you
Ewin you of all people deserve to consider yourself a winner. basically a day 1 join and helped out in sv everywhere. you legit have nearly as much lines in the server as i do

Alright, I'll get around to doing this now that the tour is over. Just want to quickly congratulate the Shaymins on their win - well fought!
Finchely - Thank you for being an excellent cohost throughout this entire tour - it was awesome watching your building skills go off the chart through the season and you were a critical reason for the Orthworm's success. People doubted us as a pair of completely fresh managers who both self-bought, but our careful planning and play paid off. We will run it back next year... (and get a CA next time trust
)
Aberforth - Our draft plan literally hinged on whether we got you or not, and I am very happy to have worked with you this tour. Your diligence with testing and involvement in what was admittedly a pretty low-stakes tour was really appreciated and I hope I will get to work with you again in the future, here or elsewhere.
Shadow079 - My GOAT. You put in absolute numbers this tour and it was amazing to watch you get back into the swing of tournament play. Everyone has always known you as the HO guy but I want to break that stereotyping now because your flexibility in both teamstyle and even tiers played this tour was proof that you are an excellent player regardless of what you load. Your involvement with the cord and team prep was also greatly appreciated!
Fragments - It was great to watch you play Ubers UU here! I know it was likely a bit out of your element tier-wise and you had to butt heads with some hard hitters, but you held your ground and did great this season. I hope you stay involved in Ubers UU in coming tours!
Terracotta - I know you didn't get to play much but you were one of the absolute most critical members of our team and your teambuilding and prep contributions were a lifesaver! Happy to see you playing in the Open and I hope I don't run into you too early ;)
Iride - You had to carry a lot within the ND slot both play and prep-wise and I want to make sure I thank you for your diligence there! ND was certainly a turbulent slot this tour and you toughed it out and did great!
asa - Great work this tour! You had some very crucial wins in the earlier weeks and did solid work for being unfamiliar with the tier. Hope to see you again in Ubers UU!
Lastly, I would like to shoutout FishyRoads , Celeste , LovelyLuna, Qbking3 , and Mozonite for their support! Your contributions were all greatly appreciated and thank you for helping us in all aspects.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed my first time managing, and I hope I get the chance again soon, whether here or elsewhere. Definitely eyeing the opportunity for next UMPL and of course next UUBPL! This was an amazing first team tour for the tier and I hope that the next is even bigger and better!

I didn't think I'd be posting this so soon but, here we are.
This tour has been a first for me in many ways. It was my first time being a manager, it was the first time the teams I built started to see real success, it was my first time making it to the finals of a team tournament, and it was the first time I saw a real chance at achieving something in this tier.
I'm sad that the run ended here, but I can't keep dwelling on the past, and need to keep moving forward.
Poosh_i
I've known you since the beginning of Mulchgang back when that was just a group DM, but I've never worked so closely with you until now. And what a time it was. I can still vividly remember sitting in a call with you during the auction, and the sheer excitement I felt as everything just seemingly kept going our way. Thank you for being my co-manager, thank you for picking up the slack when I dropped the ball, and thank you for keeping me in check when I my ideas were overcooked. Thank you for all the fun times we had, and I hope to work with you more in the future.
Aberforth
My goodness you would not believe how I felt when we were able to purchase you in the auction - just within budget no less. I had a great time building for you, and thank you so much for putting up a great performance even if you weren't drafted by the Deoxes. Your enthusiasm towards testing teams and friendly banter with Terra was always very enjoyable, and I'm so glad that I got the chance to work with you. Furthermore, while it might not seem like it, I really did appreciate your words of encouragement and advice that I received from you occasionally during the tour. You were everything I expected when I purchased you in the auction, and so much more. Thank you Aberforth for all your work, and I hope to see you sometime again in the future.
PS I swear I had no clue that you and Terra had history with each other

While you hardly played for us, I cannot understate how much of a core member you were to the Orthworms. You brought an unorthodox teambuilding perspective that opened my eyes to the possibilities within the tier, and were an incredibly massive help with all the teambuilding you contributed to this team. Without you, I certainly would've been crushed under the weight of building teams for the rest of our members. Pooshi was actually the one who vouched hard for you before and during the auction. I was a little hesitant at first cause I wasn't sure who you were and I had mixed experiences with a chronic crack loader in UMPL, but I'm so glad that I ended up listening to Pooshi cause good lord you were one of the most foundational members of this team. I loved working with you during UUbersPL, and will definitely be monitoring your exploits in this tier to come.

I truly must apologize to you. Throughout the tournament, I pushed for slotting you against tough opponents such as Medeia and Rasche, yet dropped the ball when it came to prep work when that was clearly what you needed the most. Looking back on the time I spent in this tour, I realize that I prioritized prepping for other slots over yours because I got to know those people better. I truly have no excuses, and I regret that I couldn't have done more to support you throughout the tournament. Thank you for all the work despite the difficulties, and I hope you still found enjoyment playing this tier.

I must be honest, we did not plan on drafting you. I kept upbidding you cause I wasn't about to just let the Deoxes take you for some measly 5k or something, and then oopsies would ya look at that they stopped bidding. Regardless, I'm still glad that I got to work with you again so soon. I wasn't sure you still had it in you because of your performance in UMPL, but you ended up having a stellar showing. You went 4-1, the best record of anyone on our team, and I couldn't be prouder. I had a bunch of fun with you on the team, and I'll be sure to nab you again if I ever manage for a team tour you sign up for!

Sorry for leaving you stranded in the ND slot. I tried to pick up the tier at the beginning of the tournament, but never ended up sticking with it due to being busy with other tiers including building so much for SV TwT. That said, thank you for sticking with us and persevering in spite of the lack of support. On top of that, I really enjoyed all the small chit-chats we had on showdown PMs, and I'm glad that you reached out to me every now and then. The conversation was very welcome, and made me feel a little more comfortable. I don't think I'll be really involving myself with ND in the future, so if this is the last time we see each other for a while, I wish you all the best. Ty for the great tournament season, and gl with any future endeavors!

It's been quite a bit of time since we last conversed. For what it's worth, I did very much enjoy the testing we did in the early weeks of UUbersPL, and I have to say that you really did get me started with the improvements in my teambuilding skill that I developed throughout the tour. I remember giving you a scarf Cobalion team and playing out a super-drawn-out endgame which you ultimately ended up winning. It was a really fun game, but your feedback afterwards really got me thinking of how to improve the team, which set me off on a path of learning how to teambuild better. It's a shame that you weren't as active during the middle and end of the tour, but I quite understand and bear no ill will. Thanks for being a fun person, and I hope everything goes well with managing PU!

You kept asking why I needed pics of your guinea pigs, now you see. Patience my child. In all seriousness though, you seriously were an invaluable part of the team to the point that I'd say you're an honorary Orthworm. Ever since you joined as a helper in week 2, you've provided tests and teambuilding help in every tier covered in this tour, and I'm sure that we would not have done as well if you weren't with us. I actually really wanted to nab you in the auction, but alas you ended up going for more than we were willing to spend on you. But I'm so glad that you ended up deciding to help us out anyways, as your presence was greatly felt throughout the team. I don't think I need a particularly thought-out conclusion here lol. We're both buds. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing what you're gonna achieve in this tier!
Lastly, one final shoutout to Celeste and Mozonite for coming in in the final week to help liven up the place and help out around the cord, you two were really fun to have and I wished we could've worked together more throughout the regular season.
Qbking3... well I hope your dog finds a suitable new owner :snicker:
PS: Stay tuned for my ultra-special teamdump which I'll probably get around to posting tomorrow
This tour has been a first for me in many ways. It was my first time being a manager, it was the first time the teams I built started to see real success, it was my first time making it to the finals of a team tournament, and it was the first time I saw a real chance at achieving something in this tier.
I'm sad that the run ended here, but I can't keep dwelling on the past, and need to keep moving forward.
Poosh_i
I've known you since the beginning of Mulchgang back when that was just a group DM, but I've never worked so closely with you until now. And what a time it was. I can still vividly remember sitting in a call with you during the auction, and the sheer excitement I felt as everything just seemingly kept going our way. Thank you for being my co-manager, thank you for picking up the slack when I dropped the ball, and thank you for keeping me in check when I my ideas were overcooked. Thank you for all the fun times we had, and I hope to work with you more in the future.
Aberforth
My goodness you would not believe how I felt when we were able to purchase you in the auction - just within budget no less. I had a great time building for you, and thank you so much for putting up a great performance even if you weren't drafted by the Deoxes. Your enthusiasm towards testing teams and friendly banter with Terra was always very enjoyable, and I'm so glad that I got the chance to work with you. Furthermore, while it might not seem like it, I really did appreciate your words of encouragement and advice that I received from you occasionally during the tour.

No apologies necessary Finchely, you had a lot of passion for the team and you showed it every week. Truth be told when you and Poosh_i got me I was a bit unsure how this tour would go since I figured I'd just be taken by some friends and wasn't familiar with you guys. But I am very glad to have met you both and been a part of this team, and even tho we didn't win I can genuinely say there isn't any other team I'd rather have been on. I hope we can team again sometime soon, thank you very for much for having me!
GGs everyone, ty to the hosts and players for such a fun tour. shymins shoutout post-time <3
a fairy : My GOAT, Always fun managing with you! Thank God for your organisational and planning skills, you really hold the shymins together <3. Sorry for the amount of times u get pinged in the manager chat cause idk how to schedule lmao. You always have a shit ton of lines in the server which is super appreciated since my antisocial ass only really talks in prep channels/ livechat lmao. I think having chill & supportive vibes in any teamtour server is essential for having success so I couldn't ask for a better co-manager to facilitate that. We gotta get the threepeat now :)
Baddy : I fondly remember when jawa was against you for uubers open and we had to cook up some teams to beat you. I didn't really know who u were outside of the fact that you played a shit ton of tiers and had some crazy builds. Anyway u smoked jawa and we found out u were British, and we were like "we gotta sign this guy for uuwc" u were that good. When we had the chance to get you for this tour it was really a no-brainer no matter the cost. As a crackloader, its hard to find another player who will take you seriously when you suggest that regidrago might be the truth; but thankfully u were already suggesting bulk up okidogi to me so i knew u also had a few screws loose. You were worth every penny and I cant thank you enough for all the prep you were doing every week for BO3 (s/o Ewin too) and even helping out our other slots too.
At this point, I've teamed with you in more tours than any other player which is crazy since iirc you only started playing this gen. I'm really glad to see you popping off in such a large range of tiers and cant wait to win a world cup with u.
BigFatMantis : Lowkey you are the reason I got back into mons and started taking it seriously (shoutouts UUFPL best team tour). Anyone who has teamed or even just spoke with BFM knows how great his vibes are, one of my favourite people on smogon and I'm really glad we got to sign you for this tour: small tangent but its insane how cheap we managed to sign you for this tour, literally feels like we cheated to get you early and for cheap lmao. You also load some insane builds, so I was happy I could basically pass you any of my teams and you would be chill with it. Thank you for your efforts this season and clutching out finals, ggs!
SPHZ : Super happy we managed to get you in auction. You were on my list as strong clickers we could get, altho i was so sure that we would get snipped on you since you are basically a household name at this point. You played super well and were easy to feed teams too, couldn't ask more than a clicker. Hopefully, we get to team again!
Addison : Ngl i was soooo confused when I saw your signup post for this tour since I mostly know you as the chick who farms wifi draft players lmao. Your DCL season this year was stupidly impressive, you took down smogon titans like FC with ease and had a general consistency in play which is hard to find in other players. You were probably one of the players a fairy and I were most excited to get, both of us are big draft fans so it wasn't a hard sell to get you despite you not playing uubers until this point. Since I wasn't familiar with SS uubers, I really wanted to get a player who could really innovate and push the meta forward from its current state. Considering this tier didn't even have VR rankings at the start of the season it was a really tough job to learn & develop the meta but you took on the task with enthusiasm which was really appreciated. It was really fun building/testing teams with you and Baddy, even if I started to hate the tier after a while (fuck dugtrio :) ), I'm glad you enjoyed ur time in the tier
Runo : Probably the easiest pickup for ND uubers for me. Ive teamed with you before/ had your support for ND tiers and I really think you would be hard-pressed to find a player who understands modern day ND lower tiers as much as you do. You, Sami, veti, Ineros made some lethal teams and I'm super happy with the effort you all put into prep. The start of ur season was pretty rough, with some very haxxy matches and a lotta shit talk in preds, but you really turned up tho for the latter half of the season and especially in playoffs where u were 100% in control of your matches. Ngl, I hope peeps keep sleeping on you cause the cheap Runo is a cheatcode.
Leo Justice VigilanteVigoroth : I really wanted to have a few uubers mainstays on the team who could sub in last minute and put up a great performance and you both fit the bill perfectly. Leo especially has a very different style to me in terms of building so it was nice to hear his thoughts on the meta/ built teams which gave some much needed perspective. Thank you both for your efforts and time, gl in your next tours!
Ewin : ayee the shymins secret weapon. In the auction itself a fairy and I took wayyyyyyy too long to realise you deleted ur signup post and we didn't need to stow away 30k lmao. Lucky for us we got to to have the current best uubers player as a confidant for free, ty for helping out in prep, especially with BO3 which is probs where a lot of the innovations the shymins used were made. Needless to say ur vision for teambuilding in uubers is unmatched and your builds were really useful esp towards the end of the season. P.S. I hope someone wins with ur stall team one day :)
Medeia : Bestie, ty for developing grassy offense meta, the masses will learn soon enough.
kk that all, full team dump from UMPL and UUbers PL will come out later (maybe idk). ggs!
