The audacity to think the BW GOAT and the SV GOAT cannot win in ORAS OU as well... I will be changing my sign-up now. There is even more HO in this tier and when I pull up with my lead Azelf 40 weeks in a row, the only thing you will see on that sheet y'all glaze is undefeated. See, this is the problem with the higher "competition n actual skill." These trash gen6 mainers will brag about their sheet ratings but I don't see any SPL trophy next to it? No one is going to log into a google doc every day to check if you are actually good bruh.

I don't get just rings. I get money too. I just had 5 checks hit my bank account this morning, each around $30k. Everything bro, everything, from the way I move to the supercars I collect to the noobs I wash, life is way too easy bruh. I am way too good bruh. And becoming the ORAS GOAT is only natural. In fact, I already am. They don't put the SPL trophy next to the cross because we already know Jesus is a SPL champion-- He owns this entire world and every material accomplishment. I am the same. I am a God.


Who even are you bro? Some random RoAPL champion? Pretty sure they're going to take that tag off in a few months. Your skill expires like milk. Just because I couldn't save Cloyster doesn't mean I'm not the GOAT. Did Michael Jordan win 15/15 seasons? I still saved Walking Wake from ban happy idiots on the Smog Korean council. I got Shed Tail banned. I freed Darkrai by my lonesome like a g. I got sleep banned using reverse psychology. If I put my mind to something and truly want it, I will get it. That is my resolve. I didn't put my full resolve into Cloyster because the people who play this dogshit like you are pushing 50 and I had million dollar deals in Zimbabwe to close. You are an impotent fool.

On a sidenote, I will not be supporting SV OU. If you want me for ORAS OU so I can sweep these scrubs that's fine, but time is money and if you're a good manager you can make a 12 that can win without asking for the Thanksgiving leftovers of the SV FUCKING GOAT

Come play dpp lil bro i’ll go band for band and w for w with you. Put ur money where ur mouth is, bet however much u want on our game i’ll equal it

For a sec, I thought this was a fakenagol post.
On another note, I rly want to know the crack you’re smoking, and its availability in pakistan/turkey/saudi
 
i wanted to shoutout some of my friends who i think are more than deserving of a chance to show their worth and ability at the highest level competitive pokemon has to offer and some of em havent had the chance to do so yet
not sure how little my words matter, but i’m not totally shrek, i’ve played in some PLs and WCs and managed team italy to an rcop win, plus currently managing it in adv wc finals.
these are players id genuinely feel good about buying and id love to team up with. solid prep, good teammates, and will step up under pressure

Tizio Potente Ao dpp mastermind, won GC, had a crazy good year (#1 bw circuit seed and #2 dpp circuit) and was the best player in rcop going 7-1 (beating two goats such as void and marcop and going 2-0 in tbs). also won BW GC and played very good in many tours like ROAPL for example
im sure hes one of the best and most creative builders and a player able to perform at the top adapting his gameplan very well to any given situation. his team presence is top tier too

lolebruh clutchest player ive met yet, hes just like that. went 6-1 in rcop in SS (with his only loss because of turn 0 disconnection), good results across many different PLs and with team europe. but whats crazy is how meticoulous and precise he is about his prep, it was a pleasure to help him and then see him do exactly what he was preparing for in game. i was so happy to have him in team italy and hes a perfect teammate. such a big steal

evakiyama! one of the best teammates ever, such a nice presence and super dedicated player. she has all you can ask for, great prep and support, building, in game skills and nerves of still. her versatility across many different PLs (from GSC UU to BW OU) shows how good of a player she is, not only in her main of ADV OU. also her cats are lovely and subscribe to her youtube or she is gonna destroy my car

cyberacc the man whose head is the same of a dragonite’s. other than being a super strong caveman (like me), you are also a good SS player and a great GSC player (unlike me). your circuit run was great and you showed tremendous progress, and im sure you will continue to perform this way

Figull400 a strong player, but an even stronger man. he already defeated cancer, there’s nothing stopping him now. awesome guy and great help in prep, one of the best ADVers of the last few years (mushi top player, 2x circuit participant and ladder tour winner) even with all the problems. when sometimes we disagree in prep he always makes reasonable points and shows me my (rare) mistakes, and in game plays like a true seasoned veteran

coco it is due time that he plays another SPL. past dpp GC winner, past SPL winner, classic playoffs, top cut in revival and undefeated in ADV WC, one of the best GSC players around. if he decides to sign up he needs a spot on a roster, his experience and ability in every old gen is an invaluable asset to every team

Cow he is another player in due time to make SPL. his BW performances across the last years have been amazing and his recent performances in SV OU in side PLs like PTPL and OUPL show that hes a force to be reckoned with in those tiers too. great guy, great builder and player, cant wait to see you play here

Laroxyl he already played SPL before, but not in his main tier RBY. being consistent and being able to perform under pressure in this tier is so complicated but he makes it look almost easy, his results in circuit and RBYPL speak for him. next time we meet up you’ll need to teach me lol (oh right, also delivering clutch performance for team italy in both wcop and rcop and to send his team to playoffs in SCL)

Noname (rapper) if you get banned again i’ll fly you to italy and put you under cyber’s gym training schedule. lock in twin

aminita another carapinga caterpie, after years of consistent great results and training in GSC, i think that every team could give him a chance in a supporting role. he’s an awesome guy and presence, after being at the top of the gsc scene, his abilities are very valuable

BlazingDark mister sauce sensei, his ability to play at a high level many different old gens is amazing, his experience is a lot and his crazyness and creativity will always give him an edge, be it in-game or in the builder. id like to see him play spl again, be it in gsc or in another tier, cause he definitely belongs here

Patatexv every time we teamed up you always surprised me with incredible builds and great gaming, also taught me some french MDR. after wcop and scl i need to see you here too

Prinz after giving him teams for the past few months, i can retire. jokes aside, winning revival and rcop, with an adv wc final yet to play, is no easy feat, but he made it look effortless. he may be a bit crazy but he’s my uncle, and unc still got it. we beating the washed allegations

You're fucking broke Void

Listen if there are any challengers from other tiers that want to put money down on the match, I will gladly transfer to that tier for the week. Beating someone's scrub ass in DPP is nothing to me

Me playing this tournament is not just a way to assert my GOAT status-- it's a fucking business. Time is fucking money and every week I am going to win and make cash off one of you arrogant egotistical oldhead stallers

From this day on I am open to applications for SPL money matches. Every week I plan on making $10000 but I understand not everyone is fucking rich like me and can close multi-millionaire deals in New Zealand. Even if you can only match $100 because you're poor that's fine. I'm the fucking GOAT bruh.

You know what crack I smoke? It's called money. That's all I get bro. You can find that shit in Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Lithuania, China, and the Falkland Islands. No matter where I go I just get money. And this tournament is just another way for me to increase the numbers in my bank account.

All you motherfuckers are ass. I am locking out of SV & SS (would be an objectively unfair advantage if I didn't, well playing the GOAT is an unfair advantage in general I guess) so you know I am deadass about this shit. To every manager, if you get me you should be willing to put me in a different tier every week. Not only will I still go undefeated, but I'll even throw you janitor managers a cut. I'm a charitable guy man.

THE SIGN UP IS UP NOW. I CAN'T BE STOPPED BRO I'M THE FUCKING GOAT ALL I GET IS MONEY CLOUT BITCHES BRUH

i'm not gonna bullshit you and talk about "records" or "sheets" or "skill at playing the actual game".

nobody wants to do the prep. not a single one of you wants to do the grunt work. between scouts, tests, and team selection, it's all a big mess, and someone's gotta get their hands dirty cleaning it up. superstars are all well and good, but every business needs a janitor. that's me.

my promise to you is as follows: if there is a need for something to be done, It Will Be Handled. if the scouts are not up by monday evening est, i will personally send you $20*. that's a possible net earning of $260. probably more than the predictions contest. that's how confident i am in my abilities to be your team's drill sergeant. godspeed.

*i'm broke as shit so there's the additional motivation but also god please don't hold me to this

Hasn't uploaded anything for over a year though :worrywhirl:
 
Good morning.

I, PDC, manager of the Cryonicles, am looking for a terminally online, Pokémon addicted individual to be both support and our designated court jester for the SPL XVII season. Your responsibilities will include:

Scouts
Highlighting the chat when a game starts
Holding me, Sam, and Gorgie's hands as we cross the street
Dealing with, and promoting our nonsense, and any bits I choose to overindulge in this season.

For those who believe they meet these qualifications, please DM PDC#4842 on Discord.

Wesleyy job opening for you
 
I would like to revisit my recommendations.

The BW pool is due a major mixup this year. The last few years I don't think the drafted BW players have been reflective of who the actual top 10 players in the tier are. Without naming names, there's a few underperforming new players who make it in year after year, coasting on nothing but hype. We're due a de-fresh.

And I'm saying that as a 2009 join-dater. The new generation are just really fucking shit. Pick the oldies.

The players below have not performed in BW OU for years at this point but would be major snubs if they didn't get picked. I truly believe they are better picks this year than many of the SPL "rising stars". Fuck brine, harshest, and cow specifically.

LuckOverSkill
As much as it pains me to say it, Walter is very very good at talking about playing BW OU. Acted as team support for Monai last year and expertly suggested Smurf nine back-to-back weeks. Lets not talk about BW WCoP. Fresh off the back of top 8 in invitational with 100% Cresselia usage. This year is the year of Walter and he needs to make it in.

Marsandback
What happened to this guy? He's been snubbed out of a starting slot for like 3 years btw. He was a decent DPPer and should maybe get picked for that gen, but he's also comfortably a top 10 pick in BW OU, if thats where he wants to play.

sheep
Why was I hyping Cow? Because I didn't know we had a 2008 join-date user called sheep. The shear audacity. Ewe couldn't make this up. We've milked the Cow hypetrain dry - sheep for SPL 2026.
 
Hello, SPL...I recently had my 53rd birthday, and opened this old forum for the first time in years because my oldest kid's 19 now and wanted to play in this tournament. His screen name here is Nemosse, does anyone know him? Hey, kiddo! He's a good kid and worked hard all year, I promise, so won't someone draft him? Make this proud father's dreams come true?

I still remember the day my third child was born. It was the day of the last Pokemon game I ever watched, when I saw BLUNDER SANTANA and WhiteQueen go at it in the finals in 2015. Oh, what a doozie! I still think about that expertly-played Baton Pass Scolipede in the deciding game years later. Are either of them still around? An old pal of mine told me BLUNDER SANTANA just goes by "blunder" now, and has a successful TV show or something like that? That's great to hear, sport! Oh, how this old fart would love to see you two rematch in this tournament, because it was always my favourite one...

As your old man took a trip down memory lane, I made a list of my favourite players from when I was young. I used to watch so many of these games, just thrilling competition. Are any of them still around? It would be so great to see them come back to put on a show, to show all you young whippersnappers a thing or two! Let's see now...

gotei(13) hyorinmaru...I always felt bad, because you never got that trophy! Everyone else who made multiple finals back in the day picked one up, but I guess you left too soon. It's never too late.
Loki...talk about a legend of the game! You joined this website before I got married, and now I have three beautiful children and you have two trophies! All that's missing is that red trophy to complete the collection.
Eo Ut Mortus...when I left you hadn't played in a bit, and I never saw you get revenge for your last season. No one was better in those first two years of SPL. Come back to show them how it's done?
august...it looks like you have a fancy white trophy now? Good on you! That was a young prodigy back when I played, it would be great to see your career come full circle!
ToF...now we're going to more recent years, because I still remember that finals win against Malekith in 2012. That Calm Mind Blissey? Expertly played! Keep the flame lit for the old timers.
Delta 2777 and Bluewind...I loved that Smogon Tour 10 format, and that series was full of haymakers! If either of them come back, oh boy, you're all in for a treat.
Tamahome...you might already have this trophy, but nobody played Diamond and Pearl like you. A little bit of prep, a little bit of support, you can show those newfangled kids something impressive.
The Grand Babido...felt like you did well in every tournament back in the day. Kids these days and their work ethic, they don't understand the value of consistency like that.
WhiteQueen...oh, I remember that Official Smogon Tournament ten years ago. I bet you could come back and compete on the ladder nowadays, maybe you win a second red trophy in style?

Welp, that's the list, I think! Hopefully I didn't forget anyone, and hopefully I didn't list anyone who's gotten themselves wrapped up in trouble. I have to go make dinner for the family now, but hopefully I'll see some of the old guard in a few weeks. Remind the kids today to respect their elders!
Happy belated birthday, fam. I’ve actually started laddering again a few weeks ago because nostalgia got me too.

Betting your daddy's money? Everyone on Smogon already knows the story behind your wealth

On a serious note, since you want to disrespect my country, I will pay it back in skill, not talk anymore. If you want to trash talk me as a person that is fine, but I will not tolerate disrespect that goes beyond that.

I am inviting you to Paradise Valley, AZ to sign a $100k contract for the DPP game I transfer to for whatever week we match in. The signing will take place a couple days before the match and will be live streamed for security purposes. I will be bringing my lawyer with me to review the contract details.

Thank you Void

Sincerely,
Vert

Thank you for your lovely words. This is all 100% correct (okay, maybe only 70% cresselia usage), and I've seriously considered if I should sign up. Sadly, I'm not interested in Bo1. Good luck to all the soldiers who are willing to play one game per week over months. I've been there, you're the real Gs

PULL UP PUSSY
$500 IS NOTHING TO ME I'M THE GOAT

I'MA BW WHENEVER YOUR DOGSHIT TEAM MATCHES AGAINST MINE
"Masculine" resources play off the influx of disaffected players who have soured on encyclopedias. They present themselves as proudly partial, aiming to "cut through all the bullshit" and mold knowledgeable nobodies into real players.

Let's look at an example, in fact what inspired me to make this thread. In this video (and in his subsequent challenge), Vert identifies Pinkacross's channel as an "encyclopedia"-like resource which aims to "prey on new players", and derides him as "unqualified" and "fraudulent". Afterwards, Vert advertises his own tutoring services and makes the claim that offense is easy, simple, and not "pussy" compared to slower styles.
