Tournament MWP VIII - Commencement Thread

For any manager reading this, DRAFT Bitana !!!

This guy is a Monotype mastermind who has played in other team tours within the tier, but has recently been laddering in ND OU with Monotype teams with insane peaks (Check this RMT to see one of his many performances). His creativity & teambuilding skills are just on another level, and would be an amazing asset for any manager to pick up.

Can second to draft Bitana he's a beast. Extremely versatile and knowledgable team builder and strong pilot
 
Molemitts and adjustments not getting a team is one of the biggest errors I’ve ever seen. Jeza.p who famously does not interact with the tiers he “manages” and posts legitimate ChatGPT motivational speeches paired with Rinda who albeit is a Monotype player whom I have a lot of respect for. Still, they were picked over the team with an MPL winning manager and a new face to the scene with direct Monotype manager experience. Just ask the playerbase what team they’d rather be drafted to.

This is clear bias on behalf of the mods against Molemitts because of his perceived “toxicity” in the Monotype discord. If we are going off toxicity as a reason then I think other pairs need to be evaluated in the same way. Poking fun at Wincon or Dunes is not justification for not being able to manage given that nothing Mole said is abrasive or harmful, and many other users do the same to larger extents. Anyone who has interacted with Monotype in the last year is aware Mole is an active presence in helping new players with SV, and cares deeply about the teams he’s managed that didn’t even have a CA or any real history behind them.

It’s disappointing and I do feel the need to make a post about this because it really sucks to see two of my friends miss out on an experience they were very excited for, I was confident in them being able to put together a winning roster and have a good vibes team.

Good luck everyone

Funny how opinions change. A year ago, you were asking me to draft you for UUCL, After beating your team in UUFPL because you wanted to be on my team, and now apparently I'm someone who's unqualified to manage a team and doesn't interact with the tiers I manage. Crazy how I went from someone you wanted to play for to someone supposedly unfit for the job. Guess the standards change depending on who benefits from it.

i want to comment on everything from a good sport standpoint since this situation has been high in everyone's emotions the past few hours. congrats to those who got picked, but obviously a disappointing result for me, Mole and everyone close to us. i've made so many new friends on smogon/ps over the past 12-18 months and had the opportunity to watch them all grow through the past 2 MFPLs and i wanted to bring them a winning experience the same way those who mentored me brought me a winning experience. i guess this dream will have to wait for the time being.

i do ask that you please don't attack any of the managers that were selected over us as they clearly did not make the final call, especially since many are friends of mine and people i respect a lot. i would prefer we redirect that kind of energy towards the leadership and anyone who was actually involved in the decision making process here. i'll keep this brief but at some point, as a community collective (not just 3 people attacking each other on discord), we have to hold our leadership accountable for making mistakes. the other side of this is providing a seamless manager-player experience on every level as well. i'm not going to write out a multi step solution to this but i will end by saying i think a good first step towards achieving both is becoming significantly more transparent on the manager selection process. it's okay to be blunt with people on why they aren't the best choice for this tour.
 
I would vouch for managers to consider venesha - they have grinded Monotype tournaments for a while, had an impressive run in MCL recently, and is generally a solid player.

This was my first Monotype team tour I got into which got me invested in the format, so I hope the same can be for Venesha.
 
Personally I’m vouching for a few names below:

Zukushiku - great player , developed bw
Trichotomy - I beat this guy a couple of times on ladder bros the goat
jackuzzler - honestly has the aura confidence and energy a team needs
Neko - can build bots to do ur scouts and shit
Feitan the steam - past manager
zugubu royale - the goat
boomp - my cousin

Shoutout to the fam

I greatly appreciate all of the support from the community, and I share with you in your frustrations, but I want to reiterate what adjustments said in that, while you may not agree with the selections, the selected managers had no control over the decisions made. I also think it’s important that while we can treat the decision with scrutiny, we should keep it constructive. Criticism of selections is valid but it’s important to me that it’s not a personal attack.

That being said, this was a very disheartening decision. It does not inspire confidence to me in the metrics used to make decisions. There’s plenty of criticism that can be weighed against me personally, but I think that goes for many of the selected managers as well, if not more so. I’m disappointed in the decision, and was looking forward to crafting a killer team with a close friend and shaking things up this MWP. That being said, best wishes to all the managers, genuinely.

I also wanted to take some time to shout out some players who I have personally been very impressed with the development and growth of. Leafeonlol, Vapour and I put a heavy focus on new player development during this year’s MFPL and, while we didn’t go all the way, I think in terms of development, that tour was a complete success for Dewgongs. I think we had a great eye for potential that tour, and I firmly believe that every one of these players have enough of value to bring to the table to warrant drafting: aaaaahowdogamework , Dissonant Melody , venesha , cicepece11 , mightybofa , Nichalho

In particular I want to highlight aaaaahowdogamework as a player to keep your eye on. She has incredible potential, a ceiling sky-high and is very dedicated. This is a future goat right here and her recent results say she is ready for a teamtour of this magnitude 100%.

Best of luck to everyone this MWP!
 
Hello managers, I've been playing sv mono since march and had some solid results so far. 4-1 in mfpl and recently made qfs in mono swiss, taken out a lot of strong players in various tournaments. When theres a 40k player on the opposing team and you need a 3k hero to coin flip the slot please think of me thank you
 
To those who want to make a case for themselves to be drafted, feel free to DM me here on Smogon with replays / other experience! Things are busy for me nowadays so I can't guarantee a response but I promise I'll read any DM I get and give it a fair consideration.

To reiterate, DM me here on Smogon, not Discord
 
posting here cause why not, i went 3-1 in mcl in sm mono and i had a load of fun with the format despite having little to no experience in mono prior to the tour. id love to be drafted again and im happy to play (tho i will need builder support) or bench and try to learn how to build / support properly
 
kiru said they would give me a burger if i vouched for them. so uh, vouch I guess.

anyways, managers please draft me. if you want someone who can play threat and sv well (and for only a cheap 3k), im your person. i can also help support in sv/nd/bw if wanted!

(alright send the 3$ in paypal now)

some people i would like to vouch for:
aaaaahowdogamework
