Team: US South
Manager: Sulo
Co-Manager: sealoo
Team Mascot: (Pokemon ONLY):

Sulo and I are both heavily involved in the ND scene as a whole, with both of us playing NDWC III part of South and Sulo being the manager. We are confident that we can create the most competitive roster possible as well as fostering a team chat full of “gms”, gas”, and “gns” which is proven to increase chances of South winning games.

[Oculars]

Team: Asia + Oceania
Manager: ChrisPBacon
Co-Manager: Oculars
Team Mascot: (Pokemon ONLY): (adem or )


Chris needs no introduction as one of the greatest natdex players all time having won individuals such as ND Fall Seasonal (II), ND SS Cup (I), ND Summer Seasonal (III) and finished #1 on 2023 natdex circuit leaderboard and also won the smou circuit which is basically gen7 natdex. He won NDPL (IV) as a manager and has also played in countless team tours such as NDPL, NDWC, OUPL.

I am fairly new to managing having only managed one tour so far , NDFL, however I won that in style and am now hungry to win more team tours and NDWC seems like a logical next step.

(Briefly explain any experience/reasoning for why you think you'd be a good pick)

For me I haven't really managed on Smogon but I've been in the tournament scene and have made some good results out of them. I also stepped up alongside 1yr to gather enough people to play for Canada so that it became an independent team this year. I have a good sense of the meta so I can definitely help support the team.

IBerryKind , otherwise known as "1yr," has done plenty for Canada. He's recruited many of the players, encouraged many to try out, and created the Team Canada Discord server. He boasts high levels of positivity and is extremely dedicated to helping Team Canada, having planned for Canada to have a WCOP team months in advance. He has also played in many tournaments on the website such as NDSSNL, SM UU Cup, and SSND Cup, and is very familiar with the tier.

Thank you for your consideration.
