Now this is all well and nice, but you forgot to include ME. I was tourbanned because I accidentally broke rules in the past (without any malicious intent), but since then I have read through the rules several times and I got through WCoP unscathed. I was a sub and support for Ubers in team Europe there, even though the only time I played against Scottie I won. That was also my first ever tournament match and it was for Ubers Open in SS which happened approx. 2 years ago. Since then my skill only improved and just because I missed a few tournaments due to saying stupid shit has nothing to do with the fact that my skill puts me as one of the best and most consistent players in Ubers tournaments. In the last UPL I participated in I had the third best SV record even though I only participated in less than a handful of team tournaments before that. Lastly, I beat you the only time we fought for the finals of Ubers Homefield V (three way finals also featuring Fc which I won). I get that you were going off of the most recent tournament results since Aberforth told me, but what I don't understand is why you chose to ignore me when I asked you twice in the last 24 hours if I'm gonna be in this post in the Ubers Discord (once before you sent it and once an hour ago from uploading this post), and even still, you should have included me.

My first RMT as for my activity: Specially Defensive Koraidon and Choice Scarf Reshiram Balance

EDIT: I've since spoken with Edgar and I apologized for any upset I caused. This post was made because I felt overlooked and because I wanted to show that I'm worth noting, not to make anyone else upset, much less Edgar. I'm not the best at understanding other people's emotions so I'm reflecting on myself. This is a public apology for a public mistake.

Rule #1: Never count your homies pockets thinking you deserve it. :heart:

Best of luck and I hope you and many others get their opportunity, everyone deserves one.
 
wanted to suggest some good brazilian options to be drafted today, gonna be brief mainly cuz I think most of them have good chances regardless of my "help"

Skyiew - I love clowning on him but the truth is that he is one of the most committed Ubers players in the site, being a builder and having some real nice results in the tier playing as well, maybe even starter material, just dont let this guy decide miraidon spreads for himself and should be good
Ampha - One of the most improved players of the year, having great results in both RU and PU, getting a 7-0 on RU Swiss and getting like top 4 or something on both PU ssnl and LT as well as a positive PUPL in a very competitive SV pool, he was also one of my helpers on my Slam run so mentioning his usefulness is a no brainer here
Starsama - Lets be real, this dude doesnt need help to get into SCL, hes been taking LC by storm getting good results everywhere including semis in LC Open (destroying me in quarters too), absolutely starter material
Thiago Nunes - Another one that doesn't need my help at all but worth the suggestion, also one of my Slam helpers and don't sleep on him talking about lower tiers as well, great OU history thus far but dude can also click in any tier if needed
kyuss - I am not too familiar with this player compared to others cuz he is not too involved in the br community but as far as I've been following this guy is an exceptional PU player, being a very creative builder and getting great results playing as well, including a runner-up run in LT and getting multiple ssnl finals (idr if he won)
A plague doc - Apd has been playing sv ou non-stop for the past month and has also helped a lot in WCOP, on top of having no life so they are available to help and test WAY too often, like im serious
Seraphz - Another way too addicted and hungry player, has been grinding everything like crazy and deserves consideration as support, getting solid results in UU, RU, PU and LC, including going neutral in a very stacked SV pool in PUPL and semis on LC Swiss out of fucking nowhere
Envy1 - Current best gxe on LC ladder and has been building for the whole year I think and has been making a name in the tier p quickly
TDNT - He just got a job, congrats

Here are some reasons why Danny might be considered a bad teammate:

1. **Frequent Losses**: Danny often loses his games, which can drag down the overall performance of the team and lower morale.

2. **Unfriendly Attitude**: He's not nice to other teammates, which creates a negative atmosphere and makes collaboration difficult.

3. **Lack of Support**: Danny doesn’t offer test games or practice sessions, leaving his teammates unprepared for upcoming matches.

4. **Leaking Teams**: He has a tendency to leak team strategies or compositions to others, compromising the team’s chances of success and trust within the group.

5. **Poor Communication**: Danny doesn’t communicate effectively during games, leading to missed opportunities and miscoordination.

6. **Unreliable**: He often fails to show up for scheduled practice sessions or important meetings, making him an unreliable team member.

7. **Blames Others**: Danny is quick to blame others for his mistakes, causing unnecessary tension and conflict within the team.

8. **Disregard for Feedback**: He doesn’t take feedback seriously, refusing to improve or adapt to better suit the team’s needs.

9. **Selfish Playstyle**: Danny tends to focus on his own goals rather than playing for the team, which can lead to missed objectives and overall poor team performance.

10. **Lack of Dedication**: He doesn’t put in the effort required to improve, showing a lack of dedication that can demotivate the rest of the team.

ok fr some NU shoutouts before the draft

Diamonds_realm Shengineer skierdude101 LessThanThreeMan Tuthur Wadley Be13costa

these guys are new / unproven in officials but I can vouch for their dedication, creativity, and metagame knowledge. I think they would all be fitting of at least a good support role.

ARE YOU:
  • looking for someone with an unworkable timezone who can only participate in discussions no less than nine hours after they start?
  • desperately in need of a starter who can only play on weekends and would be forced to sub out if their opponent could only play on weekdays?
  • fiending for a player whose non-existent work-life balance precludes them from sending more then ten lines a week in team chats?
Then look no further: aurora is the Little Cup starter for you!

aurora brings with her an excellent history of success in teamtours that spans across multiple metagames, having won five of them throughout her illustrious time on Smogon - including four in the last two calendar years. From managing her Little Cup Scrub League team to a crushing triumph in 2023 to playing a key role in the fourth consecutive ADVPL victory for the Aquacorde Anglerfish in 2024, aurora has done it all.

aurora has frequently experienced the highest of highs, and she's also resilient enough to handle the lowest of lows: she's currently on a loss streak in teamtours stretching nine matches, with eight of those losses coming from old generations Ubers matches. Make no mistake, though: the hunger aurora has to get that seemingly elusive win for her team makes it the perfect time to draft her.

What are you waiting for? Add aurora to your Little Cup draft plans today!
 
Mimikyu Stardust managed the Asia, which comfortably led WCoP in PMs to TDs/hosts. Oh yea, they also didnt win the tournament -- not cool. Jokes aside: he plays OU a lot, he has a few WCoPs under his belt (2-3 record all-time), he consistently is teambuilding, and he is very friendly. I do not think he is a top player quite yet, but he absolutely offers an injection of energy and new perspective on teambuilding/prep that is valuable. If you manage to sever his abusive relation to Prime Pult that is.

hello hello, come check out rutubes most recent video discussing the SCL RU pool featuring commentary from Feliburn, Kushalos, Master Chief, as well as myself! Let us know in the comments how you think this SCL pool will turn and out and dont forget to like, subscribe, and do all that good stuff if you haven't already to keep up with all SCL RU coverage.
 
The amount of requests that I've received to sign up to this year's SCL in DMs has been staggering, to say the least--however, let it be known now that I am far too busy with IRL matters to be a reliable member of an SCL team and as such will not be signing up this year. I am flattered by all of the attention I've received in DMs--I am aware that people are hungry to see me play more after my brilliant matches in Smogon Tour--however, for the forseeable future, and possibly forever, I will not be signing up for these tournaments. So, please, no more DMs.
