Here is a thread for the commencement of NFEPL VIII :blobthumbsup:

Feel free to relax and talk about this tournament down below this thread. Power rankings, discussion on which NFE gen is the best, is this tour really rigged...I have no idea what else to add here, feel free to delight everyone.

Have fun!

as the trumbeaks season comes to a sad close i just wanna thank RL and Lyna for picking me up, i had a ton of fun getting to play more of this format and am excited to come back in the future! Huge shoutout to AM Ineros and Shadow079 for helping me out with prep/tests and Frito (how do you keep ending up in these) for working with my stupid lil ideas and being a good support asw! See you all in UMPL, and if i make circuit there is an open invite for nfe support as I will probably need it.

Peace, lovely season yall!
 
Ditto shoutouts for our team trumbreaks. Great managers Lyna and RL, everyone else good peeps too. We got beat to shit, but was fun teaming up with you all.

Doubt I'll be back after 0-x truthfully and just heavily disliking the current iteration of SV which I think feels horrible to play/build but I'll let someone more invested/intelligent and with a real NFE record to argue that elsewhere lol.
 
Time to share my s/o!

First of all, I wanted to congratulate (again) the Hauntails for an amazing comeback. B2b winning NFEPL is amazing, gz Quagg ! Bayern Munchlaxes had an amazing run as well, and I am really proud of that. I think our draft was unorthodox in general, but really paid off, having a big squad with good synergy and catching some out of the radar gems. Happy as manager and teammate! It has been my longest run in NFEPL, let's see if I get the win at some point :).

Michael Jordan Thank you so much for being my co- in this tour. You really worked a lot in ORAS and providing scouts and helping throughout this tour. I hope this was a good experience for you managing for the first time. I think you did more than great and I would definitely manage with you again. I think we had good synergy and you were easy to work with. Best co-managing experience I have ever had :), for real.

Dragonillis I hesitated at the beginning retaining you for 17k, as I was not sure if you had enough time to invest here. Or that was the feeling we had when we reached you, but it PAID OFF af! You were the shadow (not that shadow) third co-manager, doing coaching, helping testing, discussing, and then going with a perfect streak 5-0!!!! You were our GOAT and I am so happy I had you there, mainly when I was away because of vacations. I cannot express my gratitude in words, without you the team would not have been the same and probably we would have stayed on main event. That was your importance as a star of the team. Hopefully next year we can retain you :).

Cammellia白山茶 THANK YOU FOR SIGNING UP! I reached you after watching some of your games in open and somewhere else, and I thought: they are really good!!!! I reached you with the idea of you signing up and buying you really low bc you were off the radar. And it payed off as fuck. I believe you have been my best drafted player for all the PLs I have managed. Your play is solid and one of the best I have ever seen, SPL/SCL level imo. You also built your own teams, quite standard, but with only some help of my part you had a solid team and a solid in-game. FOR JUST 3K! Nah, amazing. I felt so happy with you 5-1, losing to finals against another great player. I hope your irl endeavours go great, with your exams and such :) if you ever neeed some help on smogon just lemme know, I will always back you up and let's hope we can team up in the future :).

lemonstre1 Thank you for your 24/7 activity! You were always there for playing or testing or w/e. I think your constant activity was crucial in a big squad, to maintain our interest and having a week off! Thank you so much, and it was great to having you on board in an NFE tournament :).

TTK After being beating by you in SM cup and having you by 10k, I was like that solved our SM NFE slot. I think I regret a bit having you that alone there (I could not help you that much early weeks, I was trying to solve SV NFE), but then we clicked the button and you had a good comeback. I think you on SV would have been great, but our draft plan was not like that at that moment. Sorry if we could have done better and we did not give you a win at the end... losing too many finals! You deserved some win in the foreseeable future. I hope we can team up again in the future my mate :).

Fragments Sorry for putting you on a weekly torture... I really had high hopes on you, I like your in-game a lot, but I thought I could invest more time on SS and I didnt feel like it (I got caught on SV, which I really enjoyed a lot). Sorry for that, and I hope we can fix this in the future in another tournament!!!!

DD Joe It was great teaming with you for the first time and now you are on SCL! Good luck there and it was a great experience! You played really well overall, you are a good player and you push yourself a lot on improving! You tested and prepared, which was more than we wanted :) thank you!

Nakoruru_XD Another member of 3k squad who payed off, testing and playing a lot! I am really happy how you did and your involvement :) Thank you so much!!!!

PlayaBeavs I am sad you did not have the run you wanted and I think you really tried to cook things but did not work out. I hope your other teamtours go better! :) You were worth it anyway!

Shucklegigas One of our late buys but work out with mj's help staying on ORAS. Thank you so much for playing for us what was needed!

Apagogie It was great teaming up with you! You were under the cortains but having you, similar to lemonstre, for testing w/e was needed, was crucial for our team :) I hope we can team up again in the future!

Theycallmephil Thank you for being always available to play if necessary and testing when you had to play!

KeshBa54 Similar to phil, thank you for being always available to play! I am sad we could not make things work out as we wanted, but I am happy we had you as a sub!

ExguardiaN Adhi Velcroc thank you for being there as subs and talking, keeping the chat active from time to time :) that is really useful in a big squad!

HATS I know you were there and were available to play if necessary. Thanks!

Finally, thank you to the hosts Zpice July for a really smooth tournament and to helpers including maybca sleid 5Dots BloodAce who were great to discuss stuff during playoffs :) thank you so much!!!!!!!!
