  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for hosts to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to the hosts or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

i can't lie, coming back after so long not playing or even wanting to do anything w the tier and still getting a third ring + being the best sv ou of the tournament does feel nice. I wanna thanks everyone in phoenix cord, it was legit insane and i had a ton of fun discussing and hanging around with y'all. I expected to win again, because this tour is legit the only one i feel like no matter what i'll end up at the top, but i didn't expected such a dominant performance from our squad, i genuinely believe we could've went undefeated if some people didn't harrassed me to make our streak stop because, i quote, "first seed is cursed". Well fuck that it seems LMAO.
now time for some individuals s/o
ChrisPBacon even tho i make fun of you for now being completely ass at nd ss ou, i'm still glad u agreed to do this again with me, i had a blast roasting you, testing and having fun. You're one of the few people on this website that can tolerate me and i hope you keep playing this game, i still want to see your fatass in spl bro.
devin you're one of the first guy of smogon ive met and i've known you for quite a while, even if you're a massive pain in the ass asking me for teams on a monday to play 3 hours later we literally could not have win this tour without you and your impressive showing. I hope people will finally realize how good you are as a player, cuz having you for such a price was a blessing, and knowing you will always step first to ensure the first win was really conforting.
emoxu9 i did not know you prior to the tournament but you're a great guy, and obviously the goat at NDUber. Same as devin, having you playing early and bring a win really bolstered our confidence. You're one of the most invested guy preparation-wise i've seen on this website and an insane player, i hope you'll continue killing it in the Uber community.
Xurkiyee i think you have a ton of potential, you played great when we asked you to step over a certain person that i'll mention later and u showed great consistency during the tour. i honestly hope you'll make it in last chance and take the circuit
crash it was really nice having you, and i knew that having you play last meant there was always a chance if things were dicey, because you delivered when we needed you to. I had fun chatting and prepping with you, you're def one of the mono goats and i hope you're taking the circuit this year even if you hate sv.
avarice i genuinely felt a bit bad for benching you without giving a proper reason, namely that i was already starting to burn out building for several people because the tier sucks. I don't think your performance reflects the kind of player you are tho, so i wish you the best in mons and in life
Enzonana. despite me clowning you every time i had a chance to you're definitely a key member of this squad, despite what your record and the way you play might seem :paz:. you were always super supportive to everyone in the squad and i really loved teaming with you
Glimmer you're prob the most insane builder i've seen in DOU, you really carried enzo to highs i don't think he wld've been able to reach without you, and you even were always here to help no matter the slot. Great team chat presence, and i'm sorry i didn't let you play more, especially when we secured playoffs
Wesleyy you're an annoying kid and you're awful at among us but you're also undefeated so that even things out. You bring a lot of energy and it was more than welcome sometimes, so thanks for that
gorex i honestly don't think there is much to say, you've been friend of mine on this website since the third PL, despite us never interacting until this tour LMAO. I hope we'll see your fatass more on the scene, it genuinely feels like you retired to play DL.
Trouser Snakes the goon, always here to step in whenever it was needed despite having zero game/knowledge of the tier, i really appreciated having you around for the second time and i hope you did too brother. I also hope you'll perform well in mono in the following months, wish you the best
ojr my slime, you stepped in when it was needed and you delivered an insane performance despite the low preparation time, really shows how good you are. I hope you'll be able to kill it in OUPL, you know you can always pm me if u need anything
warning this part will be in french
Dlanyer bon t'as pué du derche mais vazy j'te pardonne, même si j'ai eu une méchante envie de t'étrangler certaines semaines t'as vraiment bien performé globalement, t'es capable de grandes choses en early, faut juste que tu déconnectes pas le cerveau en plein milieu mdr mais on se sait, t'es vraiment devenu un bon pote et si jamais t'as besoin de quoi que ce soit tu sais que tu peux me pm
Micciu tu m'as trop cassé les couilles mais je savais que t'allais être fort, jsais pas ce que branle les managers scl mais j'espère ils te prennent parce qu'au nom c'est trop. En dehors de ça, t'es aussi un très bon pote, et même si tu sais parfois pas quand t'arrêter dans les vannes j'passe de super moments avec toi, donc j'espère qu'on pourra se capter sur Paris pour Noel
Suzuya j'pense pas avoir besoin de faire un grand message parce qu'on se sait, j'espère juste que ça va mieux et que tu sais que si ça va pas tu peux me pm
now we go to helpers:
Isza you're one of the players i respect the most, i genuinely hope you don't retire from natdex, because i might return for world cup and i genuinely want to face you again. Thanks for helping both Chris and devin, which makes me think chris might be bad considering how much help he had but i digress.
ezra we had some disagreements prepping wise but all around i enjoyed chatting and discussing prep with you, gl in your future endeavors in roblox
pannu i genuinely did not wanted to invite a guy that still calls me kitten for some reason but you were helpfull, both in tests and helping my schizo ass building lmao. now focus on your studies and graduate so that you don't end up like adem
adem funnily enough i promised you a spot to help my team in playoffs when yours wouldn't make past pools right after the draft and despite that and me and the whole teamcord making fun of you a lot you showed up and helped xu9 with great advice, altho i do not understand the fuck out of that tier. Was a fun time having the most british smogon user on the ride, thanks
Runo thanks again for building with the most schizo user (me) in tiers that i touch once in a year for the finals, you were a great help and having you meant that i cld focus more on OU (which is quite ironic since we ended up reusing/using rmt). Thanks brother and since i didn't when it was announced congratz for section leader
Kyo was also fun having you around, you're a great TL and have v unique takes of the tier, i just hope you end in a team that will make playoffs because it does feel like you're cursed
astralydia i don't think i can even put in words how much you've been helpful, this litteraly wld've been impossible without you, you've done so much for the team despite originaly only being here to "larp", sometimes you even outdo me lmao. I had a ton of fun testing with you and i want to thank you for the help, and for putting up with my schizo self (ie: me building and switching calls 15 times a day)
laptops sir jelloton NoName6293 Lameflame thanks for the ride and help
Tricking MOMAZOOOOOOOS (was fun having you around, hope you'll comeback)
On a more personal note, i want to shout out the whole PT discord, there's too many people to name but specifically hellom, fabwooloo, clean, IPF Mimikyu Stardust, ojr and Fragments this cord has genuinely helped me over the course of the year, which was kinda rough for me, so big thanks to all of you. I also wanna thanks some people in the french community, namely Carkoala, Alkione, John1240, weakermaker (c'est quoi ce pseudo de merde rename toi) dunoks for being really great friends and helping me during the year.
Thanks to the host for the tour, and maybe see you next year if my heart tells me to manage again
