You're not even a manager.....
Wait nvm, I actually didnt mean that, sorry. I got a bit confused on the main thread so I meant that as a participant, not as a manager.

Sometimes I am the boyfriend of Misaka Mikoto . Draft me?
Free MonoPL trash talk thread
So while alot of the people have made this a bit of a joke im going to spend a few minutes and give a list of a few player i noticed that i think will be good buys this year. I will not be including do not drafts as i think its probably just not productive and i want to stay positive. I will start my list off with some good lowkey potential game changing pick ups.
Crestfall While i really want him for my team I will still post it here. He was picked up last year and had an impressive 3-2 record in BW. He has a great knowledge of the oras metagame also and could step in and play that to.
thecrystalonix extremely nice guy great team player and great knowledge of lower tier pokemon. Very solid pick for UU monotype.
EienSeiryuu an origin member but nonetheless a great player. Ive had the change to watch Eien play in some good high pressure situations and also vs disadvantages during ULC this season and I have to say I was impressed. I cant speak for a diversity in types because I dont think she/he has an extreme diversity but a skilled/team player none the less
rozes Who ever gets this guy is in for a treat while this wont be his main focus he is an astounding player. He is currently playing in SPL right now and is maining the lower tiers for his team. This is a guy that will play anything for you and will do it with a great amount of skill. He hasnt played much monotype but paired with a good assman that will supply well put together teams I think this guy can be an amazing pickup for all teams.
Ticken A very old user but a very skilled one at that. He doesnt ladder much but he is hands down the best monothreat player ever. Hes talented in Oras and is a complete team player. This is a loveable and skilled guy you cant turn down.
Confide. This guy is a Jack of all trades. Skilled at a bunch of different tiers very eager to learn and loves to build. He has a good amount experience in monotype and in other metas. I think he will go for more then most people expect with his vast amount of knowledge about multiple metagames.
TheThorn I spend alot of time with this guy so I know hes is probably one of the nicest people on PS. He also one of the most talented to. Another guy who can step in and play a multitude of metagames for you with both ORAS and BW knowledge. He has very good in game instincts which is very invaluable to any team
Crashy Someone Ive watched play from when I joined ps and was always impressed with his diversity and ungeneric team building skills. Im not sure how much of a team guy he is but he will always give you a solid battle and if u need a nice pick up late in the draft this may be your dude.
Ok Im tired of writing so I will hit so more tomorrow hope this helps anyone down the road looking for knowledge.

Ok, there's too many draft guides here. For the average manager this is very confusing and this could result in them not picking you based off of an inferior draft guide. Therefore I present to you the latest project:
Approved by: I do what I want
Reserved for guides that are amazing to read. These guides are either an excellent snapshot of who managers should pay for or provide some superior memes for the masses.
A Rank
Reserved for guides that are fantastic in the prediction metagame, and can meme, help, or get likes from significant portions of the readerbase. These guides require less thought than most others to be used effectively and have few flaws that can easily be overlooked when compared to their positive traits.
B Rank
Reserved for guides that are great in the prediction metagame. These guides have more notable flaws than those above them that affect how they function as support. Their positive traits still outshine their negatives, but they require a bit more thought to bring out their full potential.
C Rank
Reserved for guides that have notable niches in the prediction metagame, but have just as many notable flaws that prevent them from being effective. Guides in the C tier often require significant conscious thought to be effective. Guides from this rank tend to face a lot of competition with the more commonly used guides.

This list is now open for discussion and death threats against the council, and we will be adding more as more guides are produced

- Azelea's Serious guide: Not only does this come out with a strong anti-flame message but it provides unique insight into some players who may have been overlooked by managers
- Barian's First and serious guide: Something a manager might actually want to check before the draft, even provides a handy "do not buy" list. The sheer seriousness outweighs the potential issues with length

- SocialSocialSocial's Monotype doubles guide: Very good list but only covers a single meta
- Lax's Meme guide: Some solid meming but implied Twix should get bought and so barely misses out on a top spot
- BlackJak's How not to draft bad people guide: A short but effective overview of not drafting people who say xD
- Sabella's Longest guide: Long with good suggestions but he got memed by Raseri
B Rank

- Rakem's Pick me guide: Short and to the point but well received with a solid amount of likes
- Paleo's DnD Summary: Correct about who not to draft but only provides two lines of information
- Balto's Pick my friends guide: pick up people from privates pls

- TheAce22's Dethroner guide: Makes references to people heavily active in mono privates being overall better than those not, 0 likes
- sceeeeeenes's People who say scenes: Snakes don't actually have elbows, contrary to popular belief
- sceeeeeenes's "Real guide": Makes a Haunter joke and just lists notable good players instead of thinking about who to support

Hint: PS! mods are the moderators of this sub-forum and we've given them a thread w/ a bunch of shitposts to moderate for the last 2 weeks.
This may be met with some blowback, but hear me out. The reason Sabella's draft rankings were unviable in the January 25th mpl thread meta, the unclear seriousness or memeing, has been made invalid, and now is at worst a high A rank, if not an S rank draft ranking. The suggestions provide genuine picks that will provide managers help come draft day, and even provides solid advice on what slot their picks should be drafted in. Definitely at least A+.

its not worth it raimon, you're just gonna upset the circle jerkers
lol? u missed the point, mine werent serious.....
Lmao makes sense but i wasnt trying to shit post. I mean ofc theirs been friendly banter at times but i guess thats to be expected. I dont know why bashing and meme posts arent just deleted at this point
What can I say? I like to get straight to the point. That being said, the point of MPL is to win, and I plan to get straight to the point if I'm drafted.
