I made it to round 7 in RBY Winter Seasonal but other than that I havent really gotten a good tour showing yet, I have some good old gen fundamentals and I feel like with someone to help guide me in the right direction I can be good at a second old gen tier.

I apparently had some sort of account from 2022 soo i just played from it. I played some games, Got frustrated, Asked for teambuilding help in the forums, And got slightly better. I play NU and PU mainly because OU and all that scares me, And i don't think im very good at the two formats. I have been hovering around 1200 in both formats and i don't know if it is because im bad at teambuilding or because im bad at the game. Are you able to use Discord?: Yes
