Manager: Ruffles
Assistant Manager #1: NoName6293
Assistant Manager #2: Paprikaflow
Team Name: Gaslighting Gengars
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:

For myself, starting in WCoP/SPL in ORAS and playing in finals for both while also consistently having one of the best records. Have also been very active in the RU/NU/PU/ZU communities.
NoName brings a nonsense attitude that keeps the environment friendly and funny (and dumb). His piloting skills and knowledge are unquestionable in OU.
Paprikaflow has made an appearance in almost every tour that includes ORAS, particularly SPL and WCoP. He has strong organizational skills and a no-nonsense attitude, making him a serious manager that compliments our managing style.

As my friends and ex-mentee's, I'm looking forward to teaming up with them again. As managers, we have learned from last year's failures and will look to improve this year.

As one of abele01’s teammates, I want to express my gratitude for everything he has done for the team and for me personally. He gave me a chance in Master PL even though I had no tournament record at all, and that trust really meant a lot. Every week he puts in the effort to scout for every slot, provides teams, gives advice on what to use, and helps us practice. He’s always friendly, mature, and keeps a positive vibe in the team environment. Even when we lost a 32k player, he still managed to lead us into playoffs with a strong performance. His ORAS OU knowledge is also very solid, and his suggestions helped me achieve a good record.


To the host, please consider abele01. He truly deserves it.

Manager: -Howkings
Assistant Manager #1: pj
Assistant Manager #2: Metallica126
Team Name: TBD (will edit)
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:

I am a pretty experienced manager, given it's the main thing I've done on smogon for years, with my fair share of good results throughout the years. I'm also involved in the featured tiers in this tournament, and I've been a player in ORASPL previously.

As for PJ and Metallica, they are outstanding ORAS OU players who have had managing experience in the past, but mostly they are perfectly capable of supporting our players to a good showing. Metallica also plays ORAS lower tiers and has managed and prepared previously, for tournaments featuring those.

We are committed to having a great tournament and we think we'd make a very solid trio!

Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I've been managing in this tour since this its inception and while the team has seen more ups than downs, we have fun with it. I've also been a manager for several teams pretty much all across the board including NUPLs, RUPLs, DPP PL, ADVLTL, and more. eternally needs no introduction as he's the NUTL alongside our 3rd manager Rabia. eternally has managed in NUPL several times as well while Rabia has done the same but more so playing lately. The Rhyperiors have no quit on them, and that's not starting now. We look to win this thing and compete with some familiar faces. (ElectricityCat, devin, Ruffles, lets freaking do this guys!)

[Alpha1013]

Manager : Alpha1013
Assistant Manager 1: Ithi
Assistant Manager 2: asa
Team Name: Raging Reshiram's

Why should the hosting team pick you:
Ithi and I have extensive experience managing tours—officially and unofficially. We’ve successfully led teams in Masters PL and the ongoing ORAS Underground, reaching the finals in both while building strong, well-rounded rosters with active presence and synergy.

Ithi is one of the current ORAS forum mods and also the defending champion of last year’s ORASPL, bringing proven competitive experience. I previously served as an ORAS forum mod myself and and have deep knowledge of the tier having lead the ORAS QC team, giving us a solid strategic foundation and also have experience playing other tours which have featured ORAS tiers like Ojama PL[reached finals], Team Ballo and RUPL [reached finals] to name a few while my other wins being HPL, HGPL, SMPL and many more.

We're also teaming up with asa, who is part of our current ORAS Underground lineup and has the best record for NU currently. She is one of the most consistent performers in tours and hardly needs introduction in the PL scene. As the current PU tier leader, she has successfully managed PUPL IX, PUPL XI, and PUBD II, making playoffs in all three. She was also a shadow manager in PUPL X (which she won) and PUWC, and has broad experience as a player across various lower-tier PLs.

Together, we bring a blend of ORAS expertise, proven tour results, and strong managerial depth across official and unofficial circuits. We’re confident in our ability to run a competitive, well-organized, and engaged team this ORASPL season.
