Boomenheimer Watch your mouth you gerbert. You got a good job and left your day 1s and your mother in the trenches of Bangladesh. You’d rather spend time playing Pokémon and baking cakes than calling your family back home and wishing them a Merry Christmas. You’re a pack, and you sicken me.

As for Thing 2 our wager still stands, if my team loses this week i will never listen to drake ever again. If your team loses you will never be able to listen to ironmouse ever again in your life. Sign the contract.

I never believed in magic till my dawg turned to a snake.

Hello everyone! We've finally compiled the numerical power rankings for NDCL I.

Note:

• These lists include only players from the starting lineups. If your name isn’t present, it means you hadn’t started in Week 1. Similarly, substitutes for Week 1 are not included.
• These were calculated based on rankings submitted by each team’s managers. Players were ranked from 1 to X within each team, then those ranks were averaged across teams. The averages were used to determine the individual rankings.
• The overall rankings were calculated by adding the individual player ranks. The team with the lowest total was assigned rank 1, and so on.
• The individual manager rankings and calculations can be found here. (s/o to Neko for original sheet and omar for helping me compile the inputs.)
• If any team or player isn’t happy with their rank, please blame the opposing managers, not me. Thanks!
• Please remember, these rankings are completely hypothetical, don’t carry any real meaning, and are just for fun.

Swas doesn't appear to be on the subzero kyurems

Dude but you didn’t get drafted. That’s a mock draft…

 

[Cancel cult]

WHAT THE FUCK????

WHAT THE FUCK
I THOUGHT WE WERE STILL IN THE PRE TOURNAMENT PHASE
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANNOUNCE WHEN THE TOURNAMENT STARTS IN THE FUCKING DRAFT THREAD AND HERE BECAUSE I WAS STILL WAITING ON THIS UNTIL 1 MINUTE AGO

I actually am crashing out right now. this entire god damn website just assumes everyone knows everything. You've never been in a draft before? too bad, we're not telling you how to find out if you even qualified. no, we're not going to put it in an accessible place where it makes sense people would actually see, follow the admin thread or just keep checking in on the entire fucking subforum every day until you see it. Oh, you assumed we'd put it somewhere that's easy to see so even if its their first time people know when the round starts and they haven't been drafted? FUCK YOU, WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU HANGING FOREVER UNTIL YOU FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF

Anyways imo the rankings for NDUbers are:
MirrorSama (Boyz II Mence)
> Kunvirgo (Derpy Bonsly)
> Squeeby (Deeby Dragonite's Patty Patrol)
> mipc (WildBolt Chargers)
>> xinnobu (Spectacular Spectriers)

The emphasis on xinnobu being lower is not because they are a bad player, it's just that everyone else I mentioned has better tournament results and made it into the top 16 exclusive Circuit Playoffs. TBH, they didn't actually do a whole lot worse than them, still having good results in tournaments and only being like 10 places and 50 points behind mipc (if you don't know what that means, check my first post in this thread).

As for the three I didn't mention, as far as I can tell Iride and Swas don't really have much tournament results (though if we're counting, Iride does have slightly more points than Swas, however Swas actually scored points in two tournaments where Iride only scored in one), and, again as far as I can tell, Ballfire has no results at all.

Edit: Oh fuck its Bo1, now I'm kinda glad I wasn't drafted. This shit's a lawless wasteland, disregard the prior rankings you're on your own.

I completely agree and its genuinely sad that sealoo and omar are constantly leaving the casual playerbase out to dry.

I remember myself when I was a young Pokélad, just trying to watch my idols play (Xurkiyee and Aso). I had joined a room to watch a live tour game, when I saw Xurkiyee bring a really cool team, with the unique combination of a Galar Slowking and Urshifu. All I did was ask him if I could get the pokepaste, when omar banned me from the room, muted me for 14 days, and then assaulted me in my dms. I cried that night.

The next morning, I woke up to see a notification in my discord DMS from sealoo. Surprised and hopeful, I clicked to open the chat box, thinking I would see an apology for his co-leader's vulgar behaviour. Instead of a nice apology, he continued omar's verbal assault against me, then told me I would have to play for PRC NDFL to pay off my dues. I have been in indentured servitude to PRC for over a year now, playing in two NDFLs, with no trophy to show for it. I'm also not allowed to apply for NDPL, or sealoo will ban me...

I can understand your frustration, how can you find the NDCL Week 1 post, when our 'qualified' tier leader managed to delete the entire forum on accident! Is he larping as a college student? How does he not know how to manage a computer.

Enough on sealoo. Let's move on to Anchor9.

Think for a moment, why is your name on that list?

Did this passive-aggressive response make you feel big? Do you feel better about yourself, now that you've belittled someone with a genuine inquiry, rather than offering help? I'll do it for you. The screenshot you posted was from a mock draft, not the real draft. I'm sorry to disappoint, but you weren't drafted this year. It isn't too bad thought, the custom avatar for the tournament is only attainable next year, so you aren't missing out on too much.

This isn’t about being drafted or not drafted, or about one missed post buried in a broken forum. It’s about a culture that treats confusion as incompetence and curiosity as an easy joke. When systems are opaque and leaders respond with sarcasm instead of clarity, the message to new or casual players is simple: you don’t belong here unless you already know everything. That doesn’t build competition, community, or respect, it just narrows the room until only insiders remain. All Cancel cult asked for was a straight answer. That shouldn’t require a social connections for an answer. If this community wants to grow, it needs to stop gatekeeping and start recognizing that basic transparency and decency are not favors, they’re the minimum.


And if any troll want to come out and say that this is fake activism, like some Kendrick Lamar stunt, i'd like to direct you to the following screenshot. I put time and effort into this post, and I won't appreciate anyone discrediting it.
