Accomplishments 2017 Denmark Special Event Top 8
2023 EUIC Day 2
2023 Gdansk Regionals Top 16

Bio I've been playing since 2017 but have in the more recent seasons been stringing together more decent to good tournament finishes. I want to play NPA because I've enjoyed my experiences from other team tours (including a second place with Sweden at the 2020 VR EuroCup) and I want to meet new people to play VGC with! I'm eager to keep improving even more, so I would take the tournament seriously.

- 2x Smogon WCoP (UK | 2022, 2023)
-1x OUPL (2023)
- 2x OMWC (UK | 2022, 2023)

Bio Increasingly active in the VGC scene with a wide array of metagame experiences that allow me to adapt to most metas extremely quickly thanks to my chaotic roots in the equally chaotic and enjoyable Other Metas Mashups (OMM) room. I have a decently decorated competitive experience with the notables listed, but mostly I'm just here to have fun, learn more about VGC, and improve my skill both overall and within VGC.

Accomplishments Cut a few small Limitless tournaments, Peaked 1800 on the Regulation D ladder and 1700 on Regulation E with Iron Valiant. Got reqs for the only doubles suspects I've done within 24 hours, and my badges here if those count. Have given team advice to many and helped them reach Masterball or Top 500 on SD.
6-3 in Smogon Swiss

Bio Very Knowledgeable, especially with teams and sets, main reason I'm a team rater on both Smogcord and Forums, and a C&C mod here. Have a hard time taking ladder seriously and tilt often so my elo and gxe are never impressive, can promise that won't reflect how I perform in matches like these though. Like everyone, looking for opportunities to improve myself and the people around me, I also never shut up about VGC!! (You'll see me in the Meta discussion thread often.) Hope the best for everyone!

Bio Coming off a successful first full season in 2023, I want to both continue to grow as a player and begin to meet more people in the community since I recognize I’m still relatively unknown. I can be your resident Dondozo player (even if you don’t want one). I also have prior team tournament experience from USPA season 2 and am rostered again in season 3. Plus I messaged the creator of Dondozo and Tatsugiri on Instagram and got his blessing to get them tattooed, so how can you get more legit than that?

Accomplishments I haven’t competed in many limitless tours or IRL events due to only buying a switch recently. I played in the Tommy Tuesday Christmas tour where I went 7-3, and in terms of Smogon, top cutting the winter scramble tour (Playing sempra game 1 which is gonna be painful). In terms of ladder, and currently top 100 on the Reg F Bo3 ladder with 1529 elo and a 78.7% GXE, and still climbing.

Bio I’ve been playing VGC on and off for a few years, but only recently I’ve gotten into the competitive scene and I’d like to interact more with with the community and players that are better than me. I'm already a team rater on the Smogon discord and online quite a bit, but I think this tour is a great opportunity to talk to strong players and hone my skills.
