Struttura del torneo:
• Il torneo sarà giocato interamente in VGC Regulation M-C, al meglio dei 3.
• Il torneo avrà 8 squadre, ognuna capitanata da 3 manager.
• I manager comporranno le loro squadre tramite un'asta tra tutti i giocatori iscritti.
• Una volta composte le squadre, si sfideranno una alla volta in 8v8, in un girone unico.
• Ogni sfida durerà una settimana, con la prima che partirà il 22 Settembre. Tutte le settimane inizieranno un Martedì e finiranno il Lunedì prossimo.
• La fine del torneo è stimata al 23 Novembre. Iscriviti solo se puoi garantire attività sufficiente in questo periodo.
• Alla fine del girone, le 4 squadre che hanno fatto più punti si qualificheranno ai playoff.
• I playoff si giocheranno in 7v7 per evitare pareggi. Le 4 squadre qualificate giocheranno semifinali e finale per coronare una sola vincitrice.

Regole e dettagli riguardo l'asta e la composizione delle squadre:

• I manager avranno 120000 crediti a disposizione.
• I manager devono acquistare un minimo di 11 giocatori.
• Ogni squadra può acquistare uno dei manager per 20000 crediti.
• L'asta parte a un prezzo base di 3000 crediti per tutti gli altri giocatori.
• Le squadre devono schierare un minimo di 6 giocatori italiani su 8 ogni settimana.
• Nei playoff, il limite scenderà di uno, arrivando quindi a 5 su 7.
• Le squadre non possono essere cambiate una volta finita l'asta. Non sono previsti scambi, asta di riparazione, o altri provvedimenti simili.

My name is Luca Ogliari (known also as Lucarioex555 or ZekromVGC) and I have been playing VGC IRL in 2023. My first seasons weren't very good, but the last one at least gave me some confidence as I, in the e-Parrots team, was able to reach for my first time a day 2, in Prague (72nd). I player for my team in the VCL 2nd Division, closing with a score of 6-4. I'm always trying to improve my scores and my playstyle. I'm also open to receive advices from more experienced players, as well as from my teammates.

Gioco da un paio di anni in cui ho potuto migliorare molto grazie alla guida di molti bravi giocatori della scena italiana di Smogon. Affrontato e battuto numerosi giocatori di VGC di alto livello, italiani e non, top 400 all'unico major cui ho partecipato. Vinto qualche tour online, cerco di migliorarmi attraverso nuove esperienze, e l'API sarebbe perfetto per tele scopo

Hi! I’m Gennaro Matteo.

I’ve been playing competitively for at least two years now, usually attending three or more Majors per season. Whenever I’m not working, I love playing Pokémon.

I tend to prefer hyper-offense archetypes. For example, at Champions, I mostly played Big 6 or teams built around aggressive trading and tempo. During Scarlet & Violet, in Regulation G, I mainly played Calyrex-shadow teams, while in Regulation H I played Hard Trick Room, even achieving a Top 32 finish at a GC with Scrafty.

Here are my Major results:

And here are my 15 minutes of glory:

I’m also one of the founders of the Southern Hustlers, and I consider myself particularly well-suited to team-based environments. I really enjoy working with others, sharing ideas, and contributing to a team’s overall success.
