Player and manager in multiple BLTs; we managed in BLT together before for a few years; former tours room RO; goat in general


Why would you make a Good Manager?:

Xiri, Samjo and I have the most experience, and are the most dedicated to this tour historically. Xiri and I have been on the same team since BLT V (samjo and I being managers at that time with Xiri being our player), and have managed together since BLT VI (except for BLT X). We have always created a good team environment where we help everyone to improve and only gotten great feedback from our former players so far.

Together we posses almost a combined 100 years worth of life experience as well, which makes us a reliable and level headed manager trio, while also covering the holy trio of timezones (US, Europe, Asia)

Manager: JoelXLeaf
Assistant Manager: StreetBoom and qtfox
Team Name: Scripted Slowbros

List of accomplishments:
Participant in last years BLT and TLT, Current tours room mod, multiple time tours room cycle winner, current tours annual cycle winner, Won axpl2

Streetboom:
Managed for multiple TPPs, participated in wcop, participated in TLT VIII, participated in BLT XI, supported tours in PSPL, current tours room owner, current Goat and tours room favourite!

Qtfox:
Managed for HGPL V, participated in TLT VIII and VIX, participated in BLT XI and BLT XII, Won LCBC, Current tours room owner, another Goat and favourite in the tours room!

Why would you make a good manager:
Me, Streetboom and Tip are 3 of the most active members of tours community as of rn. In Tours room awards Tip was voted as the most helpful and nicest auth whilst me and Streetboom got a decent amount of vites so We would be able to create one of the best team environments where we'd be able to support each of our teammates and keep any sort of negativity far away.

We cover timezones decently with me and Streetboom being +0 and Tip being -5. As the 3 of us are literally in tours room daily we know the talent our room has and would be able to pick hidden gems that are usually left out. Going back to tours room awards Tip was voted as favourite tours room owner, Streetboom was voted as second favourite tours room owner and I was voted as second favourite tours room moderator so we're clearly fan favourites!

Overall we work well together running tours room and we would definitely be able to work well together managing the Scripted slowbros. I mean we were Scripted to win this otherwise BLT would be off script!

Why would you make a good manager?: The three of us all have experience managing on the site, and have participated in BLT. Royal has participated for many years, including winning one year, and is a great Monotype player and manager, with additional experience in LC. Lolo is a great OU and UU player, and according to my research he also has NatDex experience. I'm an active player and manager, I've managed UUFPL, MFPL, MWP, and a variety of other random tours/WCs, with additional experience in some subforum team tours, adding to my ability to support my team in some lower tiers. I think this is my third year signing up with Royal, so surely it's time we are allowed to win this tour.

Manager: Fragments
Assistant Managers: Howkings Frixel
Team Name: Pillsbury Fidough Boys
Why would you make a good manager?: In the past year I've managed and won 3 tours and made finals of 5 others. Overall I've managed 40+ tours and made playoffs in all but a few. I have managed BLT 3 years in a row, making semis 3 years ago and finals the past 2 years in a row. Howkings has been managing for almost a decade, including tours featuring BLT tiers such as OUPL (finals), UUCL (semis), and every LC team tour where he has never missed playoffs. He also recently managed and won ORASPL, and has managed SCL where his team just barely missed playoffs. Frixel managed and won BLT 2 years ago, recently won PTSL, and has also managed tours such as PTPL and WCs where he lead Portugal. He has also played in many other tournaments including SCL and won OSDT. We bring the most combined manager experience and accolades of any manager trio and can guarantee our draft will be a playoff contender with a fun team environment to boot.

Confirming, I've only missed poffs once in non WCs tournaments, looking forward one more BLT
