[BlazingDark]

Smogon Name : BlazingDark
Co Managers : Azaan Rubyblood
Returning Managers/Players ? Yes we are returning to take Chancers

We all three has years of experience in managing , we have participated in almost every teamtours that exists and has a good rate in winning them or having a strong playoff presence :

For my part, as a manager or player (or both at the same time), i previously had good results in older editions of ORASPL (x2 Champion) , SMPL (1x Champion) , ROAPL (X Champion and Play off as manager) , ADVPL (1x Champion) , RCOP (1x Champion and multiple Finals), FCPL, FCL, RBYWC. I performed in every OU generations in these teamtours and supported my team mates, most of times ending with good records, i am also currently managing Teamballo and doing more than good.

Azaan is a returning ADPL Champion, and wants to take the challenge again as a manager this time, he also managed a few others teamtour like GSCPL / NUFL / GSC Slam League and both BW WCOP / ADV WCOP which tells a lot about his versatility and quality as a all rounder.

Rubyblood is also a veteran, consistently very good at the game no matter the generation he plays, he's also a supporting machine and did help us a lot in other teamtours in the past, basically a leader in SPL and World Cup as well.

This ADPL tiers format is clearly made for us as we can support everything no matter the gen and build a strong team, lots of new good players has revealed themselves from our franchise and some made it to bigger stages (SPL / WCOP / Circuits), which speaks a lot about our supporting / motivating skills, and the chancers always were active, even almost qualifying with a team with 90% of beginners / unproved players.

3rd is the charm and we aim to make this epic franchise finally lifting that trophy.

[Abele]

Smogon Name: Abele
Co-Manager(s) (if applicable): Suzuya Drachenkeule
Returning manager/player? Drachen and Suzuya played for raiders last year
Top 3 Team preferences: 1. Cosmogs 2. Raiders 3. Phantom Troupe
A brief description on why you should be chosen to manage:
I've managed a good amount of OU tournaments specially fairy gens like EPL 2025 (Finals), SSFL (Won), Masters league (Playoffs), ORASFL, PUWC, WCAP (Tiebreak to playoffs) and OUFL 2025 (Not official but shadow managing + helping in the SM prep).
As a player I've been part of World Cup in 2024 and 2025 (soon 2026) with Chile, won SM Circuit playoffs and being part of top wins in OUPL 2026 and soon the Smogon tour 38 winner . I trust my knowledge of each fairy gen and i know most of the playerbases of the Gens chosen.
Suzuya has an extensive manager experience, leading teams in tournaments like Teamballo, SMPL 2025, UPL, AGPL, FCPL, UWC, UUbersPL 2024, NDFL 2024, Retro Cup 2024. As a player he went 3-0 in Wcop 2025 main stage and has been part of some SCL editions. He has also reached this tournament finals before.
Drachenkeule has managed SMPL 2025 (Teaming with Suzuya) and World cup (Team Austria) almost qualifying for main stage, his strenght is definitly his clicking and his knowledge of Masters gens. His results like 5-4 SPL 2025, 4-2 SPL 2026 (Still going on), Masters II Top 4 and SM Global Championship winner prove this.

We trust in our leading skills, we are aware of each playerbase skill and player rankings (Specially Suzuya with his extensive experience) which will help us have a strong lineup. We are really hyped about this ADPL edition and we're sure we will win it.
