Welcome to the 9th edition of ADPL, and the third sponsored by Trainer Academy! Hosted by myself and cala_aa. This is a team tour that will encourage learning a team tour environment through placing undrafted players in a pool that will be automatically distributed among the teams, with one week of guaranteed play time for each player. From prepping, mock games, tiebreaks, last second substitutions, crazy upsets, and heartbreak: no matter the skill level players WILL be able to participate. The teams who will succeed will need to not only succeed in crafting a team of skilled individuals for all listed tiers, but also be able to lift up their less experienced players to unexpected wins. For less experienced players, this is one of if not the best opportunities to get drafted and compete for a custom avatar, as well as experience a higher level of play than they may be used to.

The list of teams for ADPL 9 is as follows:

Hey @managers im burnt out of fairy gens a bit so im wanting to play a classic gen. Ideally GSC or BW. Please don't buy me with expectations to support fairy gens either, as i will barely have time to prep my own slot. See my signup post for more info
 
Alright now for the actual post. I don't have much to say, but last year ADPL 8 was not only my first team tour, but my first tour ever.

I did horribly and I want redemption for how bad I played. I play mainly older gens 1-5, excluding 2) at this point, but can help with prep for all of them.

And if you aren't convinced, then here's something that might help.

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE PICK ME UP IM THE CHEAPEST 3K OF ALL TIME

Anyways, @managers hit my line, see you all in ADPL! :D
 
Reaching out to managers as a potential 3k support/sub spot:

2026
- Round 8 BW Winter Seasonal (Loser Bracket)
- Round 6 DPP Winter Seasonal (Winner Bracket)
- Round 8 SmogCord Winter Seasonal (Loser Bracket)
- 5-2 in ORAS Delta League regular season and currently in the Semifinals (Discord tour featuring ORAS OU)

2025
- Round 10 (Last 16) ORAS OU Summer Seasonal 2025
- Round 9 SM OU Summer Seasonal 2025

I've also featured in OUFL and currently in ORASCL as my recent OU team tours. Happy to share other tour results/replays if anyone is interested as I play a range of formats with respectable results.

I can play gen 3-9, just need prep/teams and I should be good.

Discord: Incognition

P.S. The way the system works for undrafted players is unviable, please can this be changed in some way for the better (e.g. Let's randomly pick someone with only 5 messages who barely logs in)
 
If you wanna play for the twisted spoon sorcerers. Reach out to w3sleyy, 1aurel or vulpix03 on discord.

Last year we bought people for reaching out and promoting their activity.

Tell us about your building skills, expected activity and share 2-3 replays of you owning good players.

You can PM me or Howkings on discord for tryouts: atraxmadara, howkings
Stuff that could actually help you get noticed:
- Only a small background about you and your motivation going into the tour
- Ladder achievements, although those tend to help when in CG or active ladders
- Tour achievements if any
- Strength points you have
- What you think you have to improve on
- Favorite Dua Lipa song

@ managers I want to let know I aim to play mainly SV & get good results there but Stour Bo3 is a nice challenge for me too.
If you need me to clutch SS/ORAS once or twice that's fine but I rather play SV.

Recent results ;
SV: WCOP 1-1, OUFL 2-1 , Multiple 2K on ladder
STour BO3: Round 8 SmogCord Winter Seasonal (Top 16 Winners Bracket)
SS: Winter Seasonal Round 6, Summer Seasonal Round 8 & 4-2 in Masters
ORAS: Winter Seasonal Round 8 (Top 32 Winners bracket) & 3-3 in Masters

I’m definitely playing to win and always try to help my teammates do the same whenever I can. On my last team tour we built great chemistry and finished #1 that season, so I’m looking to join a team that shares that same competitive spirit.
 
So yeah, heres my bit. I've been playing on Showdown ever since BW was current gen but never really got into the entire tour stuff until last year. Last year I've started doing tours in Draft that went moderately well and also decided it's my turn to start signing up for tours of the modern generation I'm most into (SS). Very randomly I won the SS UUbers open where I really had zero expectations, but that shit gave me hunger for more.
Last year I've worked a lot with great guys like Ojr, Garchomp, M0rtal, Zoyotte and many more and right now I believe to be at a level in the game where I can be a meaningful addition to any team. SS is the tier I main but I'm decently knowledgeable about almost every tier of OU and some Ubers tiers as well. In the SS League I played with great guys like Herv, Unzips and Enrique where at some point I solidified prep for a big part of the team.

I think I've proven my skills over the course of single games and BO3's with some very high-level players like in the replays below, to start exploring where my ceiling is in team-based environments.

Vouch, Very active user and he ain't a custom avatar soldier, will get the job done and has a good will
 
I'm one of one, I'm number one, I'm the only one
Don't even waste your time trying to compete with me (don't do it)
No one else in this world can think like me (true)
I slay
 
I always tilted so i not hope everyone spend too much money especially now i can't win any game, i also will not very active.
I not mind put me in ORAS but i hope play some other tier like ADV OU, DPP OU or SV OU.
I don't want play full season so if team surely get playoff or out, i will bench except i dm manager and said i want play.

Pokemon sucks anyway.
