Tournament HPL6 - General Discussion

making this list because every year I see some deserving people miss out (was guilty of it myself last year, and I paid the price so). My genuine belief is that in these sidetours, you treat people that are interested and wish to be generally involved like gold dust. They will make up with their comparative "lack of skill" with the amount of effort / practice they put in.

hindi slots :
LB - probably top 3 SV OU rn amongst the indian slots. yippie bhai was a prophet.
Tricknology Still in the cut - new dudes in the scene but can be nurtured
AmoghOp - get this man on a team
Typical_bastard - they are good. dont let him go for cheap
Nor - part 2 ^
Ghoulish Champ - part 3 ^
Rhik - is it hpl if the hindi mains dont get a chance? he might struggle in the mono pool if you throw him to the wolves, but he can be nurtured with good support
Prateekkp - should be part of some team as a sub at least ^
Flames Of Elixir - most interested to play ND. wants to do well
Duke - one day he will wake up and decide to take mons seriously and then we are all dead
Abhi - the child is here to play. legend has it that if u say finchinatorx5 times he appears.
ThinkingSceptile - the other sceptile. should get him on CSK to make him unlock ultra instinct.
kDCA - this dude was absolutely cracked in cycle2 of OLT, he couldnt qual in the final push, but he dominated the entire cycle otherwise. sorry for the managers who wanted to get him sneakily for cheap.
Zephyri - I cant believe im saying this but he probably is one of the best UU picks in the (indian) pool rn. Did well in UULT. Probably needs a bit of handholding and will likely crumble under pressure, but you can make fun of him for it so its a win-win.
fatBatman - mini Joris both in terms of activity and skill.
Shivam_Z - best hypeman ever. Narayan won us HPL
Jethin 10 - saving the best for last. I think he is one of the better future prospects for SV OU. He messaged me with interest in trying out for wcop, and with a little guidance, he recently did pretty well id say in OLT in cycle1 for someone completely new to tour settings (~1800 ish in cycle1). Reminds me of the training arc vk went through on Staraptors 2 years ago, back when he was a nobody.

foreigners :
emoxu9 Remnonc - I have great respect for the chinese playerbase because they always come to play. Both are good players, though xu is better rn
SeaLife - same as above^ but DOU
earthflax - brings amazing vibes and support, sorta the role that velvet fills for the kkr team every year. You need these people in every successful team.
NDK - same as above. Is very hungry to prove himself.
Juseth sepulveda - with support I think he can be very good.
jackuzzler - my goat, always happy to be involved and play whatever the team needs. same category as earthflax
Leroipolux1 - I rate this dude pretty highly as a pilot. Invest into him and you will reap the benefits. (also part of the group below)
Try assembling Pokemh eldids One Last Kiss Tempo di anguria budy group together. With every one you get, their power multiplies.

Just a small list of people whos visibility I wanted to increase (not comprehensive). With them being involved, I believe we will undoubtedly have a better tour. If Arpitraj0 doesnt get into RCB, then cancel the tour.

(and yes my own activity wont be the best, just had some time in the long weekend so made this post)
did not even mention me smh I hope you go 0-x noob cringefire
 
I loved someone years back... Now she is married with someone and enjoying with kids </3

OFFICIAL HPL POWER RANKINGS:
Done by Me and rahul_3301
(With help from Arc , Lana , Blui )

1. Royal Chandelures Bangalore - 58.87 ( Piyu , RaJ.Shoot )
SV OU - 1.33 (Clean), 10.17 (Keshba54)
SV Ubers - 3.83 (Piyu)
SV UU - 2.83 (Feen)

Lyra3000
As most people would have predicted, RCB came out with the best team in the auction, being able to make a very well-rounded roster with top-end players for most tiers and amazing tiebreak options. The ability to self-buy a player of Piyu's caliber at 15k also played a part in this.
Their OU core is led by last year's OLT finalist Clean, who is a top-end OU player and ranked 1st in PRs, along with Keshba54, who has some experience in officials with WCOP for Africa along with being a ladder grinder. Piyu is playing Ubers this year; while not his main tier, he has a lot of Ubers experience with UWC, UPL, etc. He is cracked at any tier he touches, so he should do well as long as he gets the Koraidon tera predicts right and hits his Stone Edge. UU is being played by Feen, who has years of experience in almost every lower tier along with qualifying for last year's UU circuit. He should fare well in this comparatively weaker UU pool. Monotype is being played by Dieu Amphibien, who was comfortably ranked first in the Monotype pool, coming off a good MPL and 1st seed in circuit standings, so a strong performance is expected. DOU is being played by Chris321456, another RCB player ranked #1 for their tier and currently having an amazing DPL. They should go positive, though the strong DOU pool means it will not be an easy time. 1v1 is being played by Mentality, who, while rated 1st for his tier, has had a lacklustre year with a disappointing 1v1PL and middling last year HPL. However, he is very highly regarded as a builder, known for building teams for most of his teammates and being very active in prep, so he has his work cut out to keep up with his ranking. Natdex is being played by Vioz, who recently came into the mons scene and has been able to put up decent results in SM and Rands. Given his quick progression and mons being mons, he should be able to transition decently well into Natdex and go around neutral. Rands is being played by LoSconosciuto, who did expert price fixing by putting his preferred tier as DOU, which made his auction price tank, only to end up playing Rands anyways. He is very good at Rands, with multiple tournament showings and ladder results to back it up, making his unanimous 1st ranking pretty obvious. Bo3 is being played by Nor, who made Masters top cut semi-recently and has Bo3 experience from last year's HPL as well, with ORAS and SM as his main tiers. An around-neutral performance is expected in this very strong Bo3 pool. To round it out, they have Flames Of Elixir, Arpitraj0, and Lyra as their substitutes. The quality of substitutes and support is heavily lacking, which may make double substitute situations or underperformance in some slots very troublesome for RCB, as they have little to no backup, but if that issue doesn't arise a surefire contender for playoffs.

2. Delhi Dragapults - 55.06 ( skimmythegod , RichardMillePlain )

Delhi are back at it again with a pretty strong roster like 2023 HPL after their lacklustre season last year, aided by Richard's self buy. Their OU core is led by Baddy who has been on a pretty good run this year recently with him qualifying for STour playoffs paired with the silent threat J0RIS who while may not speak much, has been an India staple player for years with a very high skill ceiling easily capable of putting up a respectable record, this core has been ranked as middle as pack of the pack and active team support for J0RIS while keeping up with meta may be what would be crucial for this core to break past everyone else's expectations. Ubers is led by their self buying manager who was ranked as #1 in the pool after his monster performance in last year's HPL and him putting up good record after good record in every team tour has definitely earned him that spot, the team also has 2 more top end uber players in Skimmy and Taka to support Richard helping him put a repeat of last year's performance. UU is being played by Taka who while a Ubers main, has experience in lower tiers too, with mons being mons his skills should comfortably transfer over making him a decent threat. Monotype is being played by crash who had a rough MPL albeit in BW and qualified for mono circuit pretty comfortably, he should be able to go positive in this pool. DOU is being played by CodeVG who has been on a great run recently paired with a good ongoing DPL record, while DOU is one of the tougher pools in this HPL he should be able to keep up with his expected 3rd ranking. 1v1 is being played by NTG cuz idk who had a decent 1v1pl albeit in ORAS, they may need to win a lot of rock paper scissors to defy their 8th place ranking. Natdex is being played by sealoo who was comfortably ranked as best in the pool, and with one look at his NDPL record it should justify the ranking in this pool where most of the players will be learning the tier as they go, should be comfortably able to go positive. Randbats is being played by USN who had a pretty bad run in last year's HPL, but with decent tour experiences of playing randbats under his belt now and very active laddering he should, maybe he will be able to keep up with his 3rd place ranking. Bo3 is being played by egalvanc who has mostly been focusing on his sv, but still has tons of experience in fairy gens at a pretty good level and is consistently able to display his skill on ladder, he should be able to go neutral or better in this pretty tough Bo3 pool. Duke, Horii, and Kanha Greninja round out the subs for this team, Duke should be able to sub into OU as an Indian slot if situation later in the season ends up requiring freeing up J0RIS to UU. The team seems pretty top heavy having to rely on the big players to get their expected wins for the team to do good, but it does not seem to be much of an issue as their top end players are pretty consistent in their records and should follow the same here as well.

Quakers are running it back from a successful playoffs showing from HPL5, with java and hoenn looking to replicate their successes from last edition of the tour. This time, the duo have opted for an OU core consisting of kDCA, a familiar face in HPL who has historically ended seasons with a great record and had a very strong showing in the recent OLT ladder cycle and peaking with an impressive 90+ GXE. Joining kDCA is Team Asia's Ghoulish Champ who has impressed many in the latest OLT cycle as well with his signature Dondozo Veil team nearing qualification, but this tour he will seek to make a redemption from his lacklustre 1-3 record from last year's HPL. In the Ubers slot, the Quakers have chosen 8truc, who like kDCA is a HPL mainstay and has performed historically well, and looks to continue to streak following his 4-3 performance in the latest UPL. UU will be taken over by Seraphz, who performed great last year at a 5-2 record and looks to pull off another repeat, with the public ranking him as 1.33 in Power Rankings, eyes will be on Seraphz to see if he can meet the public's perception of his skill. Quakers' doubles slot is none other than THE Loudwinner himself; coming off a 6-3 performance from last year on the winning team and being one of the faces of Indian doubles, it will be exciting to see what he will certainly cook this year, assuming he has time aside from gym. Monotype is being played by twinkay, a solid player in monotype coming off of a positive 5-4 record in the latest MPL. The 1v1 slot will be played by Mcthelegit, known as a good clicker and has proved himself from his great records this year across the 1v1 individual tours. In addition, Kayzn will be taking over Quakers' Natdex slot, whom the Quakers will be relying on to put out a good record against the rest of the pool such as his previous records across many language PLs and NPL. The Randbats slot for the Quakers will be RoFnA, who has a plethora of experience in Randbats tours from WCOR to RBTT, consistently performing at a high level with good records - definitely someone to keep watch of this tour! Finally, the Quakers Bo3 Fairy gens slot will be taken over by NoName6293, an up and coming player in said gens who is rated 2nd in the Power Rankings. His skill is undisputed as he has had excellent records in the corresponding generation PLs, and it will be exciting to see what NoName has in store following his unban. Overall, the Quakers have a very solid starting lineup, and have an extremely strong support and subs, making underperformance and double substitutions free of worry with names such as ladder fiend Dugtrio is Broken, reigning winner Bka Onon, Brazilian Plague who will bring his experience from officials to support the players, as well as up and comers such as Quinn and SirPeanutCronch off good WCOP showings, SHONE is a HPL veteran who has played in all HPL's, so he can sub in whenever required, Still in the cut and Tricknology are looking forward to showing promising debuts.

The Gujarat Gholdengos assembled a well-balanced roster, spreading strength across multiple tiers with a couple of standout headliners. Fusien is the crown jewel – OST winner, OUPL winner, and a 5-1 WCOP run – making him an undisputed titan in this pool. Beside him, LB provides versatility and experience across several tiers, giving this OU core both firepower and flexibility. Tbolt takes Ubers; his pedigree is in older gens like DPP and BW, so SV remains an unknown. The lower rank reflects that, but with remnonc’s support, if he rediscovers his touch with Koraidon the way he did with Dialga, he’ll pick up some statement wins. Memedose46 sits in UU as their self-buy, ranked 4th in pool, and will be expected to set the tone for the team – the equivalent of a captain’s knock. Tenebricite comes off a rough BLT run (2-5 in OU), but his track record in old gen Monotype circuits and a 4-4 MPL record in SM suggests a steadier showing here, with an even record being a fair projection. Srvoltmike has solid results (3-3 BLT, 4-3 DPL), though this Doubles pool is stacked; the middling rank is fair. That said, his builder brain can whip up unorthodox teams out of nowhere, occasionally with devastating results, so this slot has volatility. (Also, yes, his CA is fire. No points for guessing who wrote this.) Call me PK hasn’t touched SV much but still finds himself 3rd in the pool which says enough, if prep is on point he should do well. He’s the kind of player who can make a team with three random mons and somehow win, so don’t be surprised if he pops off. Seth at 3k might be one of the better pickups, being one of the few Natdex mainers and having solid if not spectacular tour records. He has near even records in both BLT and NDWC but he'll be looking to go overwhelmingly positive here, and for 3k he could easily be one of the steals of the auction. Blui is a legendary name with lots of experience, and while he’s ranked 4th, he’s exactly the type of player who can pull off upsets against the people ranked above him. Keep the popcorn ready for his games. And then there’s the blockbuster signing: Idli Ramesh at 26k, the most expensive pickup for the Gholdengos. He sits comfortably atop the Bo3 pool, and while IRL commitments may limit prep time, he’s the type to load strong teams regardless and walk away with wins. recti and thepokemonuploads round out the bench, both looking to contribute when called upon. In conclusion, Gujarat field a roster with legitimate playoff potential. If their stars perform to expectation and a few of the swing slots overachieve, this team could easily turn into one of the season’s biggest headaches.

Staraptors Hyderabad walked out of the auction with a roster that has both firepower and some high-variance slots. Suzuya was the marquee buy, costing the most for SRH and bringing with him a 3-1 WCOP record. Ranked just behind the elite names of the pool, he should anchor OU and deliver steady results. Alongside him is Amaske, a rising talent who sits lower in the rankings but comes with genuine upside. If he adapts quickly, this OU core could quietly become one of the stronger ones. In Ubers, emoxu9 was snapped up for 17k and rightfully so, ranked 3rd in the pool and boasting strong showings across the tier. With zowwy lurking as a 3k steal and a potential support option, this slot has the tools to consistently deliver wins. Slip holds the UU slot, entering with a mixed UUPL record but currently performing in UUCL BW. The pool looks shaky overall, making this a spot where SRH can hope to pick up much-needed momentum. Manan999 returns to Monotype, his main tier, though he tends to only appear twice a year. Despite being ranked last, if the rust comes off quickly he can still make things uncomfortable for opponents. Doubles goes to sundays, who has been unstoppable lately with a 7-0 PSPL run and another strong DPL showing. Ranked near the top of the pool and bought for 17k, SRH will be banking on his hot streak continuing. The 1v1 slot belongs to TGK, who comes off a strong 1v1PL. Ranked slightly lower due to being less proven than the veterans above him, but another good showing here would change that narrative. Natdex is in the hands of Tempo di anguria, one of the few genuine mainers this pool. Consistently known for bringing solid builds without glaring weaknesses, this slot feels stable and should provide steady returns. Rowlet69420 was picked up late in the auction for 8k, and he’s got some randbats pedigree from WCOR. The pool is definitely stacked, but he has the tools to grab upsets, so SRH will be hoping he goes positive here. Rounding it out is TGA in Bo3, who self-bought for the slot, which is a bit weird as fairy gen Bo3 is not something he has much experience in nor similar to his main tiers, that explains the second to last ranking where the top of the pool is much more experienced. On the bench, SRH have Freezerman, Novax, and Jethin, a trio that adds plenty of metagame knowledge and support options, though once Freezerman starts, it might be tough to stop him from giving his in depth metagame knowledge. Novax in particular can bring strong prep ability, which could make the difference when the starters need help cooking.

Preity Punjab’s Azalean Pichus (PPAP) assembled a team with a mix of established names, creative picks, and a little chaos sprinkled in. This team has the back 2 back HPL Winner talisman "cat food and", better known as VV and that's all you really need to know about this team, with VV on the team rest of the stuff is just extra. Arc headlines the OU core after a 3-0 WCOP pools run and a string of consistent showings, landing 5th in the pool with a 17.5k pricetag. He looks like the reliable half of the duo. The other is Pinecoishot, ladder menace and certified bringer of cursed techs, ranked 9th but very capable of making opponents lose to things they didn’t prepare for. VK clearly built an OU pairing designed to farm some key wins. TrueNora anchors Ubers, ranked 4th in the pool. With Lana, Hrish, and Swas providing their usual wall of support, this slot could easily punch above its weight. The so-called “power of friendship” buff is real, and if it clicks, PPAP could have a strong Ubers showing. In UU, Saurav the Great – better known worldwide as Fabio – enters with the reputation of being the best to ever touch NDUU. Now he has a chance to prove his greatness carries over to regular UU, which makes this one of the more entertaining slots to watch. Monotype goes to Dead by Daylight, a grinder with tons of lower tier and OM experience. Ranked at the bottom of the pool mainly for lack of Mono reps, but this is a player who works hard and could easily flip the script. Doubles belongs to AIRedzone, coming off a disappointing 1-4 DPL but costing PPAP 14k in the auction. Clearly seen as a bounce-back candidate and SeaLife on the bench to support, and if he delivers in this stacked pool, it will look like a masterstroke. Kala chasmah takes the 1v1 slot and is ranked comfortably at the top of the pool. Coming off a strong HPL showing last year and a great 1v1PL recently, this should be one of PPAP’s most reliable points every week. It's clear that PPAP is trying to have some self sufficient slots which is always a good strategy. In Natdex, One Last Kiss comes off a massive 5-1 record in NDWC for Latam. With this pool being short on mainers, that result could translate into another strong performance here. Hrish wanted to slot in randbats and not ubers and he seems to have gotten his wish. Ranked 5th in the pool but more than capable of landing upsets, he’ll be hoping to justify the role swap with some strong wins. Finally, IPF rounds out the lineup in Bo3, picked up for 19.5k which is a shame because everyone was rotting for the 20k+ IPF. Regardless, he’s a strong slot ranked 4 in the pool and should hold up well in a very competitive field. Lacus Clyne, Podra and the back to back 2 time winner of HPL VV round out the PPAP bench.

Being ranked 2nd last in Power rankings KKR will have a point to prove this season. Pre-season rankings however can be deceptive and their roster definitely suggests that they have great potential to punch above their weight. Their solid OU core is led by none other than Maverick Shooters. If not plagued by inactivity in important weeks, he should definitely have a great season. Icing on the cake, he's complemented by Mada who has proven his mettle as a great player and an even more exceptional scout in several official tours. Ubers and UU could prove to be a slightly weak link for KKR. Rhmsitb who is not a very avid SV player could face stiff competition in this pool. Would still back him to go neutral given his past exploits. In the same vein Zephyri could also face difficulties in this player pool further accentuated by a lack of clear team building support. Rahul who has come back strong post his unretirement having good campaigns in BLT, LCPL, and LTWC slots in natdex. On a quest to erase his negative record, Rahul's performance in absence of his main tier LC could be pivotal for KKR. LBN who's a swiss army knife should do well in monotype and also provide valuable support in other tiers, especially Ubers and Natdex. Luisin is a tried and true consistent DOU performer with plethora of tours to prove his track record and while Sufys hasn't played 1v1 in a while, with Miyoko, LittlEven, Raj00's support he should be able to get updated on the meta quickly to do well in the tier. The randbats slot is again taken by Swagata who's ranked 2nd last in the pool consisting of heavyweights like Loscon and RoFnA, but since it's randbats it could go anyway. Swagata has beaten the expectations in the past editions and could very well do it again. Lastly coming in bo3 is devin who was the team's costliest buy. He could very well justify his price tag and be a threat to his competition if he turns up seriously for this tour. The 7 player strong bench comprises of veterans Raj 00 and LittEleven who could provide important support to tiers like 1v1 and UU. It also sports the Bangladesh duo of SKC44 and Raiyan who are adept at OU and Bo3. Further Larry could slot in any tier when needed. The list is rounded off by firenix (formerly PragaSV), pyrmd, and ayatou who if given a chance could also hold their own.

The Chennai Super Kings bring a mix of firepower, promise, and a sprinkle of unpredictability. JJ headlines the OU core — ranked 3rd in pool, a proven tour player with consistent results in RBTT and beyond. Expect him to be the rock of this lineup. His partner in crime is fatBatman, last in pool but a grinder who brings flexibility and team spirit; with seasoning, he’ll snag key wins. Entro takes Ubers, and when you’re the reigning champion with a WCOP 3-3 run, you don’t need much more introduction. A 2nd seed rank feels justified, and CSK will bank on him to deliver steady wins. AJ holds the UU slot at 4th; with active involvement in UUCL management and some cross-tier grinding in LC, he should primed to get a good showing here. Another motivating factor is a little friendly rivarly to do better than his UUCL co manager who is ranked 2 in the UU pool. Monotype belongs to Cielau — ranked 2nd, MPL and LTWC both solid, and a 15.5k price tag screams confidence from Ashbala. Expect steady points here. Doubles is Opelucid, currently 0-2 in DPL but well-respected in the community. Last in pool now, but very much a sleeper pick. Liimpy in 1v1 brings veteran steadiness and a familiar whistle podu return. #Yellove. He might be inactive but he'll still get some wins for this beloved city Chennai. NatDex is the mysterious 17k pick metagross does architectu — ranked last in pool, but if abhk’s scouting is on point, this could turn from a head-scratcher into a highlight. Next is Random Battles where, in a stacked pool, purbaj sits last, but he’s shown resilience in tours so far. CSK will be banking on him to steal a few important wins. This slot feels like a story in the making. A 3.5k pick in a loaded Bo3 pool, he starts at the bottom of the rankings, but has real upset potential against the bigger names or atleast that's what CSK hopes. CSK’s season outlook? Strong pillars in JJ, Entro, and Cielau, surrounded by a bunch of swing slots that could flip the script. If even a couple of those gambles land, this team suddenly looks like they could defy the rankings
