Subbed / supported in small teamtours and I have decent knowledge on how the game’s interactions work so I’m not completely clueless. However, I mainly have trouble clicking the right buttons I need to in in-game scenarios and have seemed to plateaued on that end, so learning sv on my own would be somewhat tough.

My first ever competitive Smogon tournament was TLT in the tours room, where I not only was able to further apply what I've learned, but also gain more experience in general regarding competitive battling. With that, I've become more familiar with smogon's environment, and participated in several other tours such as RU Winter Seasonals, TP Winter Seasonals, OST, & ND 35 Pokes Trios. I decided to apply for NU tutoring because of how much this tier has grown on me recently, and I hope to also have the opportunity to study under a tutor to become a better player (and because I heard shen is tutoring ).
