NPA 7 Champion, NPA 9 Finalist

Bio NPA is always one of the most fun moments of the year. My past experiences were all filled with good moments, new friendships and quality games all around. I'd like to be able to share this with both newcomers and acquainted players alike so we can improve further, together. I've been here for 10 years now and had my ups and downs, despite my current season now being the brightest I've ever had, there's still a lot of Pokémon to play and hopefully achieve success.

Accomplishments Top 4 Gdansk 2024
Top 128 EUIC 2023
Top 128 Liverpool 2023

Multiple PC wins and cuts (currently on 264 CP)

Bio I started competing in VGC at the beginning of 2023; Liverpool was my first event and even though I didn't know anyone, I absolutely loved it. I had my breakout performance in Gdansk back in November, but I am still a newer player and I know I have lot to learn. I am hungry to play in the NPA because I feel it will really help me develop as a player by working closely together with teammates who share a common goal, which I hope will translate with further successes in the official circuit and of course victory in the NPA itself!

Being newer to the scene, I have never played in a Team Tour before, but I was drafted in as a helper for Team UK for the Victory World Cup and absolutely the experience of helping the top players practice sets and bounce team ideas around with. I feel I am a great team player who is happy to jump in and help whenever I can. I would love to be drafted and play in the NPA this season :)

Accomplishments 6-3 at Sacramento Regionals 2024 (first regional)
Multiple Time Top 20 on VGC Ladder
Multiple Limitless Top Cuts and One Tour Win

Bio Hello managers! My name is srvoltmike, irl Michael Ruiz. I am a new VGC player. I started playing in Series A of SV online before beginning to seriously compete IRL in Series E, where I played my first regional in Sacramento and went 6-3. I also made top 8 at the Sacramento PC the day before. Due to life factors (graduating, new job soon) I am unable to make a concerted worlds push this year, and as such I have decided to spend the next 6 months or so grinding online and locally and improving before seriously traveling to events again, but I do plan on going to LA Regionals as they are in my city. I would love a chance to get drafted to improve throughout the season, as I believe I have a lot of potential in the VGC world and would benefit from high level practice and being exposed to a competitive atmosphere such as this one. Likewise, managers will get from me a dedicated player with a great work ethic looking to improve their play and the team around them. In any case, thank you for reading!

Accomplishments DOU:

Doubles World Cup Winner with LA
2nd seed for the Circuit, and currently Top 4 in Invitationals
A lot of team tournaments like SCL, BLT, Teamballo, EPL. (Some good records some not very good ajhgxgajxh)

VGC
Worlds 2014, 2015 and 2016 Invite.
Day 2 Worlds16 (In this same season won two Mexican Regionals and Runner up on National)
I have some games of CG VGC, but nothing really worth putting here. (Just the experience I guess!)

Bio I originally was a VGC player back in 2014 and liked the format but liked the 6v6 more over bring 6 pick 4 (DOU).
I don't have much VGC experience with latest formats but I've seen so many players jumping from VGC to DOU that I want to try DOU to VGC! Meta is very similar so I'd say I'm at least decent and ready to improve even more and get wins!
