Hey, I know all the managers probably have all their draft plans set up, and it's only about 9 hours from the draft. So good luck to all the managers & players who signed up!
Meanwhile, after seeing some player rankings I decided to make one myself, except my rankings are more focused on C and D tiers. Enjoy!
TOP 8 POOL
I decided to make a separate pool for guaranteed pool because the whole draft is split into two parts (top8 and regular pool)
S
iNoLife - She literally bulldozed through cycle 1, and made stour poffs. Looking forward to great showings in OU
Stareal - won tundra cup etc etc and same with iNoLife for great showings in OU
A+
FatFighter2 - Ubers ssnl finalist so I expect him to do good in Ubers
Gray - Didn't read his signup but I think he is playing lc and I think he will do good
TeamCharm - Recently won NU Open semis vs false, and now in slam poffs. I think he'll do a good job in lower tiers unless he makes plays like
this
A
MalMoonsault - If given right teams he will most likely win, he's actually better than what most people think..
Pradhaaan - Idr exactly but I think he did very good last year
p4P1//0n - Seen him play and he is quite good, your smogon name is very bad though. Please namechange to Papillon asap
B+
lvl100Blaziken - Won 1v1 ssnl if that matters lol, he is solid in general anyway
PrinceOfAllTacos - I don't really know how Poat will perform in the NU pool and Mono pool, I would've placed him in B but the pool looks quite shallow compared to other tiers so placing him in B+
Sificon - Sificon 2021 is much better than Sificon 2020 so I'm expecting some upsets
Yugon - Somewhere between B+ and B. A lot of people compare Yugon with TectonicDestroyer on the levels of cringe but Yugon knows when he should shut up at least unlike tect.
B
Crunchman - Does a lot of prep against strong opponents so I think his match vs big names win DOU will be quite interesting to watch
Failures - Haven't seen them play but custom avatar means good right???
Let's Rumble Shall We - Does very well against meh opponents (doesn't choke an easy W unlike
this, which is one of the main reasons he did very well cycle 2. Not sure how he will do against opponents a higher level than him though
Sets - uh same with Failures
Zoaw - Haven't seen them play but they're tours room voice so they must be good
B-
Crow Music - Will do decent in lower tiers, there's no way he should be in C like other rankings
myjava - OU roomvoice who made a smogon account just for BLT lol, unfortunately the OU pool isn't looking eaasy but good luck to him
Not Miyan - All I know is that they played last blt
C+
Baloor - Never actually seen him play OU and the only time I played him was
this so I'm not really convinced in general. Also makes really bad posts but
Phantomistix is tryharding to take that title away from him
Harshal_08 - Seen his name in some major tours
RichardPepper - His luck is a bit better than lkap's
C
ChessRobot - No idea who this is since I didn't care about cycle 4 at all, the pool was very weak for top8 in general so my expectations aren't that high, sorry.
halaman95 - kinda eh in general
lkapkd1 - Only reason lkap escapes meme tier is because his luck is so crazy that I can guarantee he will hax the shit out of one of the big names
mets3569 - No idea who this is but I've seen them in tours room and they aren't bad + obviously way better than some people below regarding chat presence
rahul_3301 - yeah I'm not convinced at all from seeing
his AG replay in Raj pl
D (aka meme tier)
Lugia_numair - Literally same with lkap but with no luck, I am VERY looking forward to Lkap vs Lugia so make it happen @managers
TheManWithTheHat - I swear I've seen this kid get warned & muted several times during my cycle 1 run. He is the exact example of what you'd expect as a "tours room kid". I don't judge people by their age but why are you going around and saying "oh theres no way you're 16 you're like 7~10" when you are 13 yourself????
Hoopa590 - so I got info from kythr that this is the person who played a TLT match without switching a singe turn. Genius.
REGULAR POOL
S
100%GXE - His name literally says 100%GXE do you think anyone will be able to beat him
kythr - One of the best LC spots tied with Serene Grace imo and he can play lower tiers too
Serene Grace - One of the best LC spots tied with kythr imo and he can support lower tiers very well. Undoubtedly one of the best players in the pool
A+
Mac3 - Solid RU spot, did very well last blt and stormed through TPP2 in RUBL
Shadowmonstr7 - DOU ssnl finalist + did very well in DPL despite going for 3.5k lol
Splash - Good OU/Mono spot
tlenit - Good PU player who even has a TROPHY so I think he is really good
TheFranklin - Solid RU spot, didn't do that well last blt but did very good in this RUPL from what I remember
Trade - I honestly thought he'd be a little rusty after the hiatus but he got 40 points in less than 48 hours lol
Xiri - Very good lower tiers player who struggled last year but I think he will do well this year
A
Acselsior13 - DId very well in last blt (7-0) but looking at LC pool this year it honestly looks a bit tough for him
Blimax - Very good OU player who is underrated because of his cringe Agency shoutout posts
Decem - Good OU/Mono spot and is a kpop fan, Chungha is indeed a queen
Expulso - Good RU player
gum - Solid PU player I think? Also had some great pfp choices in the past so that's a bonus

Mikaav - Good LC player except I don't know him well
Mygrein - Good UU player from what I heard but I haven't seen him play yet
Ninja - Good LC player with a cool name to go along with it
Plas - Good LC player with a good pfp to go along with it
Reje - I've been told what a great Ubers player he is and since he specifically said he doesn't play ubers he has a higher chance of doing well in the ubers pool
Z Strats - If he plays DOU he is A+, if he plays singles he is B+ at most. Thus A on average
B+
Ainzcrad - Good SS ubers player and he can play very good and win as long as he doesn't choke on balls which is kiiiiinda very likely
avarice - Good UU/PU player
daniYSB - Good NU player
EternalSnowman - Good RU player
Fille - Good LC player from what I heard
henguinie - Did well last blt, I think he is the dude who had like 93% gxe in mono ladder
Kyotoshi - I heard he is quite good but I don't have much info on him
LightScreener - I remember seeing him in some tours but I don't exactly know what he plays, I think he's good though
lotiasite - Very good AG player who I personally like but I am not really sure how he will do in Ubers because the pool isn't exactly that free
Meta - I forgot what he plays but I've seen his name a lot so I think he will do well
Mishimono - If there was an A- rank he'd be there, what happened last year though?
Perish Song - He is literally monotype room owner he will ban you from the room if you hax him in mono
Roginald - Good player in general
roxiee - So you play mono right
saba1111 - Underrated player who will do very well in UU pool or whatever he plays in
Surfy - Good LC player imo but the LC pool isn't looking that easy this year, good luck
TectonicDestroyer - Underrated player in general because of how cringe he is
TMM - Good UU player who went like 1-6 last year (idk the exact record) but I think he can make a turnover this year
