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)
