[fyfyy]

Name Fyfyy

Time Zone GMT+05:30

Relevant Social Media fyfyy29 on Discord, fyfyy and fyfyyalt1 on Showdown, @fyfyy2901 on Twitter.

Accomplishments Got consistent at VGC in Regulation D and peaked top 20 ladder, replicated the same performance in Final Regulation E week with #14 on ladder. Have racked up wins against top players like Wolfey (in regulation E) and Anton (in regulation F).
Multiple room tour wins, have helped multiple people prepare for regionals. Looking forward to buy a switch and start taking part in limitless tours and regionals in the coming future.

Bio A really strong teambuilder, one of the strongest Hyper-Offense players and deep knowledge of other archetypes as well. I have pretty strong takes but they have been consistently proved correct as the format develop. Been a positive influence and on Showdown Chat and looking forward to expand my horizons by meeting stronger players and get better at VGC. New to Smogon tournaments and their circuit, so would be a fun experience :>.
Hope the best for everyone!

Relevant Social Media N/A at current. looking at starting a more comp based twitch account but looking at more get a bit of experience before starting social media

Accomplishments N/A

Bio I've been an avid pokemon player for many years now. (Ruby being my first game). I always tend to follow a more interesting team comp when team building. looking for methods lesser known and used by others to try to gain the advantage in battle.

While I may have never competed in a more professional setting for battling ive always been more than capable of holding my own on showdown ladder with a peak of 2000 in random battles, peak of 1800 on OU singles and and 1300 on comp regulations (my lesser played mode until current generation)

Whilst there may be many other more experienced sign ups a chance to compete would be greatly appreciated and know that I would be putting maximum effort and be willing to take on all advice and perhaps help others on the team to think outside the box when team building

Relevant Social Media twitter.com/alchemistake

Accomplishments I was top 500 back in XY and ORAS Ubers, (barely but still 480-500 is top 500).
I have become 3rd in multiple limitless tours.
I have a record like 6-4 against fyfyy. (hello fyfyy)

Bio The main value I'm bringing is I'm a programmer with deep knowledge of showdown protocol (not as good as main devs). I can write any analysis tools we might need in the tournament. I know I can't make it as my pure player skills but i can be the Peter Brand to your Billy Beane. (If you don't get the reference, Moneyball is a very good movie.)

I'm not that bad of a player but my elo is usually low because I suck at team building. I done good with some coaching and reading 1-2 team reports.

If you select me I promise all the data mining will be done "legally" so smogon won't have another data mining exploit on a tournament that cancels the results.

Accomplishments I've been playing VGC since 2011 and have a long history of accomplishments. I have recently made day 2 at 4 out of 6 of the NA Regionals and made day 2 at LAIC and have yet to miss out on Championship Points at majors this year. I won't go on, but if you know of me then you probably know about my accomplishments.

Bio I simply want to play a lot of games. Ever since the start of Regulation F, my drive to play Pokemon has sky rocketed as I want to not only top cut and win a regional again this year, I want to earn one of the paid invites to Worlds at the end of this season so I need as many outlets and resources as possible to accomplish my goals.
